Friday focus 🔍✨
There’s something special about seeing our plants at this stage — healthy, vibrant, and full of potential. At Ilco Farming, every bud is the result of controlled science, dedicated cultivation, and a passion for pharmaceutical-grade cannabis.

As we wrap up the week, we celebrate growth — both in our greenhouse and in our industry.
Here’s to innovation, quality, and a green future. 🌱💛

Enjoy your Friday!

Today at Ilco Farming, our team is busy with defoliation in Greenhouse 2 as we move into the final month of flowering.
Defoliation helps us create the ideal environment for healthy, potent plants by:

✨ Improving airflow through the lower canopy
🍃 Removing unnecessary excess leaves
🛡️ Reducing insect hiding spots
🌬️ Preventing hotspots that can lead to mildew

Every step is intentional — ensuring cleaner, stronger and higher-quality flowers. 🌱💚

Too many mothers, too little space — so we built a new one. 🌿
Mother Tunnel 2 is officially ready for 2026! ✔️

We danced… the plants judged… TikTok picked the soundtrack… and somehow it fits too perfectly. 🌿😂 Happy Friday from Ilco!

Welcome to the Ilco Plant Gym. 🏋️‍♂️🌱
Oscillating fans = light movement = stronger stems, better nutrient uptake, and mother plants ready to support serious canopy weight.
A little stress today for a lot more strength tomorrow. 💨💚

They loved the vibe so much they refused to leave 😌🌀

🌱 Lighting is the steering wheel of your cannabis crop.
Get it right, and everything else falls into place 👇

💡 Light = Yield
More controlled light = bigger buds, higher THC, richer terps.

🌿 Light Shapes Growth
Intensity + spectrum decide your plant’s structure, roots, nodes and strength.

🔥 Light Drives Metabolism
PPFD influences nutrient uptake, transpiration and leaf temperature. More light = more control.

✨ Light Unlocks Quality
Resin, colour, aroma — all boosted under strong full-spectrum lighting.

🧮 DLI + PPFD Matter
It’s not just how bright, it’s how much per day.
Veg: 20–35 | Flower: 35–45+ mol/m²/day

🌗 Cycles Guide the Plant
Veg: 18/6
Flower: 12/12 — darkness must be absolute.

🌡 Leaf Temp Tells the Truth
Veg: 24–28°C
Flower: 26–30°C

⚠️ Avoid Light Burn
Yellow tops, curling leaves, crispy edges = too much.

📏 Uniformity > Intensity
Even light = even quality.

⸻

💡 Dial in your lighting. Grow with intention. Produce with precision. 🌱✨

💜 On our farm, we plant seeds of safety, respect and dignity.
Today we join South Africa in turning purple — demanding that GBV be treated as the national disaster it is.
Every woman deserves a safe place to grow.
