Re: Plant Canopy Reminder
We have officially entered summer and are looking forward to sunny weather! With that in mind we wanted to send out a brief reminder about canopy compliance.
Plant canopy is the square footage dedicated to live plant production (WAC 314-55-010)
Plant canopy cannot exceed the amount licensed (WAC 314-55-075 (6))
- Tier 1 – Less than four thousand square feet
- Tier 2 – Four thousand square feet up to ten thousand square feet
- Tier 3 – Ten thousand square feet up to thirty thousand square feet
Plant Canopy includes:
- The space between plants that allow:
- Airflow
- Light
- Growth
- Access for watering
- Trimming
- Dedicated clone and mother plant production areas.
- Dedicated plant production areas including pathways, walkways and empty space between rows
- Propagation that occurs in a multiple level structure, each level will be calculated as part of the total canopy
Plant Canopy does not include:
- Vehicle access roads
- Completely fallow areas where no cannabis plant propagation or growth is occurring
For more information, please refer to the Measuring Plant Canopy Guide or contact your compliance consultant.
Have a safe and compliant growing season!
