To grow cannabis

Under the new Cannabis Act & Regulations, there are two types of licenses for cannabis cultivators to consider: the Standard Cultivation License or the Micro Cultivation License. 

While these licenses allow facilities to cultivate plants, a Nursery License provides for the cultivation of cannabis genetics.

Personnel Requirements:

  • Responsible person
  • Alternate responsible person
  • Head of security
  • Alternate head of security
  • Master grower
  • Alternate master grower

The license requirements are:

For large scale ( over 2150 square ft. ) grow operations. 

A Standard license allows for the holder to grow cannabis through unspecified means under the new Cannabis Act, including but not limited to using aeroponics, hydroponics, aquaponics, vertical planters, and in traditional soil. 

For small scale ( less than 2150 square feet ) operations. The Micro Cultivation License is perfect for small, boutique businesses such as cultivators working with a limited amount of unique strains.

A Micro Cultivation license allows for the holder to grow cannabis through unspecified means under the new Cannabis Act, including but not limited to using aeroponics, hydroponics, aquaponics, vertical planters, and in traditional soil. 

For operations focusing on starting materials like plants and seeds, and less that 540 square foot in size.

Obtaining a Nursery License also allows the holder to possess, propagate, cultivate, harvest, and alter the chemical and physical properties of cannabis. It permits the sale and distribution of plants and seeds to other license holders.

Additional helpful services:

Obtaining an Industrial Hemp License allows its holder to import and export hemp (with proper permits), to cultivate, propagate, and harvest hemp, and to sell it with certain restrictions, such as whole plants only being permitted for sale to licensed cannabis processors.
