Cultivation Forecasting

Cultivation Forecasting provides you with a forecasted view of harvest yields and timing to better plan space and labor requirements. This tool will help you determine how much wet and dry weight to expect from a harvest, and when, for labor planning and sales pre-ordering. You can also use this data to plan dry room space and labor for trimming and packaging so that neither is overcapacity.

With Canix's Cultivation Forecasting you can enter forecasting details per plant batch at the time of creation, and when editing a batch, to predict expected wet and dry weight, yield per package type, labor, and timing.
