🌱 Light Dep Is in Full Swing 🌱
(Long post / worth the read🫶🏼)
We’re already looking ahead to our first harvest of the season, and it’s hard not to get excited.
If you’ve ever wondered what light deprivation (light dep) is, it’s a cultivation technique where we carefully control the amount of light our plants receive each day. By simulating shorter days, we can encourage the plants to flower earlier, allowing us to harvest sooner while still taking advantage of the sun’s natural energy. It’s a labor-intensive process, but when done right, it produces incredible results.
The amount of love, dedication, and long days that go into cultivation can’t be overstated. Our cultivation team has been putting in the work from sunrise to well after sunset to make sure every plant gets the attention it deserves.
This marks Rock Quarry Farms’ second year cultivating legal cannabis in Chemung County. Last year, despite every challenge that came our way, we planted, harvested, cured, processed, and proudly brought Chemung County-grown legal cannabis to our community. Sustainably grown, right here at home.
This season, we’re excited to have Ethan leading our cultivation efforts. With years of experience in the cannabis industry and a unique growing style, he’s helped take our gardens to the next level. Thanks to his expertise and the hard work of the entire team, we’re already closing in on harvest and getting ready to bring you fresh, locally grown cannabis sooner than ever.

Here’s to another season of hard work, homegrown quality, and proving that world-class cannabis can be cultivated right here in Chemung County. 🌿💚
