Job Description

Veg Lead (Mothers • Clones • Clone Cutting)

About Us:
We are a premier cannabis producer in Oregon, dedicated to crafting high-quality, sustainable cannabis products. Our team is expanding, and we're looking for a passionate Gardener to support our cultivation operations. In this role, you’ll be instrumental in nurturing our plants and ensuring optimal growth conditions, helping us deliver top-tier products to our customers. If you’re a hands-on, detail-oriented individual with a green thumb—and you’ve got some handyman skills to boot—let’s talk!


About the Role:
We’re hiring a Veg Lead to own the full veg cycle—preservation plants, mother stock, clone production, and ongoing clone care. You’ll set and enforce propagation standards, keep immaculate records and labeling, and protect genetic integrity. This role leads small clone‑cutting crews and keeps assigned zones healthy, productive, and clean.

Location: Portland, OR •  Reports to: Garden Manager

What You’ll Do

Preservation (Genetic Archive)

  • Perform preservation work every Friday (half‑day plant work) with light watering 2–3x/week.

  • Monitor moisture and adjust schedules; escalate health concerns early.

  • Prevent genetic losses through strict sanitation and consistent care.

Mother Plants (Mother Room)

  • Maintain ~200 mother plants

  • Deleaf/delimb on a cadence for size control and airflow.

  • Rotate mothers each cycle for even light exposure; flag irrigation or health issues fast.

Clone Care (14‑Day Rooting)

  • Oversee tray health throughout the rooting cycle.

  • Harden off on schedule; maintain clear labels, timing, and observations for each batch.

Clone Cutting (Leadership & Standards)

  • Enforce clone cut specs (size, angle, rooting zone length) and full tool/equipment sanitization.

  • Accurately label trays and maintain clone tracking logs.

Support

  • Lead potting rooted clones into pots.

  • Maintain overall veg‑room cleanliness and organization.

Ownership & Expectations

  • Own outcomes for Mothers, Clones, Cutting, and Potting —results over excuses.

  • Keep processes on schedule, preserve genetics, and maintain consistent plant health.

  • Spot issues early and communicate clearly.

  • Keep organized, detailed notes on cuts, rooting, mother rotations, and preservation status.

What You Bring

  • Hands‑on experience with mothers, clones, or propagation (strongly preferred).

  • Extreme attention to detail; comfortable enforcing strict SOPs.

  • Experience leading small crews during high‑volume clone cuts.

  • Strong organization (labels, logs, scheduling) and independent follow‑through.

  • Clear communicator who escalates biological issues before they escalate.

Pay & Performance

  • $20–$24/hour DOE

  • Performance bonuses tied to: genetic preservation success, clone rooting rates, and sanitation compliance.
