Cultivation
In the industrial zone Kjojlija in the Municipality of Petrovec, at only 500 meters from the International Airport Skopje, we have built a facility for the production of cannabis for medical purposes with a total area of 17,800 sqm on three floors.
The facility for cultivation is built according to the highest construction and the latest technology standards. We have implemented the highest pharmaceutical standards for both cannabis cultivation and its treatment to the final product as a herbal product and its processing into a high-quality extract.
The conditions required for the production process are very complex. The process is divided into several production sectors in different phases.
Our system covers:
- Seedlings
- Vegetation
- Blooming
- Drying
- Trimming
- Safe drying
- Packaging
The cultivation process is indoor technology in its essence and represents a complete imitation of ideal natural conditions.
The process is fully automated and controlled by software for control of temperature, humidity, CO2, pressure and overpressure, and microbiological purity at the level of pharmaceutical so-called white zones implementing a fully automated BMS system. Our developed software allows us to track each plant individually from its birth to its packaging. The second important element is watering and nutrition. The facility contains equipment for water osmosis with a processing capacity of 250 T in 24 hours. The preparation of nutrients for plant nutrition, and the control of water factors before its use, is fully automated with the latest watering/irrigation equipment with a capacity of 6 minutes per 10,000 plants.
Due to the quality of the final product and retention of all ingredients of the plant, the drying in our production process is performed in fully implemented natural conditions in a pharmaceutical environment.
The removal of unnecessary large parts of the plant is performed mechanically, but due to the retention of the substances in the plant and the retention of the quality. The final removal of the small unnecessary parts is performed manually. We implement a system for balancing the moisture that is needed to reach the ideal freshness and quality.
PHCANN INTERNATIONAL has executed all standards pursuant to the guidelines of the European Medical Agency for the implementation of the EU GMP, starting from the birth of the plant until the packaging of the dry flower as a final pharmaceutical form.

Genetics
The plants used in our products derive from a stock of mother plants, that has been carefully selected from 5000 seedlings in our flowering rooms, to ensure we have the best phenotypes with the best medicinal properties for our customers.
Ongoing collaborations with breeders and seed companies, assure us to be on point with finding new genetics, higher cannabinoid contents, and terpene-rich strains.
Clone Production
Our technique of keeping mother plants, in combination with our preventive IPM (integrated pest management) and grow/ cutting technique, ensures us a healthy and fast-growing mother plant stock.
We have developed a standardized method, deriving from over 15 years knowledge of mother plant keeping, in combination with the latest technology resulting in fast rooting, high quality clones.
The clones, cut off the mother plant, are all same size and of vigor growth, so only a short period of vegetative phase is necessary. Our perfected cycle of the mother plant- and clone management allows us to cut time, which increases efficiency throughout the year. In the cloning process already, we select out the best to go into the next phase- the vegetative phase, the preparation for the flowering period.
