Current through Vol. 24-12, July 15, 2024
Rule 3.
(1) A
				cultivator shall uniquely identify each immature plant batch with a single
				batch name and record the information in the statewide monitoring system. Each
				immature plant batch must consist of no more than 100 immature
				plants.
(2) A cultivator shall tag
				each individual plant that is greater than 8 inches in height from the growing
				or cultivating medium or more than 8 inches in width with an individual plant
				tag and record the identification information in the statewide monitoring
				system.
(3) A cultivator shall
				separate the plants as the plants go through different growth stages and ensure
				that the plant tag is always identified with the plant throughout the growing
				cycle so that all plants can be easily identified and inspected. A cultivator
				shall ensure that identification information is recorded in the statewide
				monitoring system in accordance with the acts, the marihuana tracking act, and
				these rules.
(4) A cultivator shall
				destroy the individual plant tag prior to packaging. Once a tagged plant is
				harvested, it is part of a harvest batch so that a sample of the harvest batch
				can be tested by a licensed laboratory as provided in R 420.304 and R 420.305.
				A cultivator shall separate the harvest batch by product type and quarantine
				the harvested batch from all other marihuana and marihuana products when the
				marihuana batch has test results pending. A harvest batch must be easily
				distinguishable from other harvest batches until the batch is broken down into
				packages. A cultivator may not combine harvest batches.
(5) Before the cultivator transfers or sells
				the marihuana product to a marihuana sales location, a sample of the harvest
				batch must be tested for all required safety tests by a licensed laboratory as
				provided in R 420.304 and R 420.305. All test results must indicate passed in
				the statewide monitoring system before the marihuana is packaged for sale. A
				marihuana product from harvest batches may not be transferred or sold until
				tested, packaged, and tagged as required under subrule (4) of this rule. A
				cultivator may not transfer or sell marihuana under this rule to a marihuana
				sales location if the package contains more than 1 harvest batch.
(6) A cultivator may transfer or sell
				marihuana to a producer without first being tested by a laboratory if the
				marihuana product will be processed. After the producer has processed the
				material, the producer shall have the sample tested for all required safety
				tests pursuant to R 420.304 and R 420.305. A producer that received a package
				under this rule that has not been processed may transfer that package to
				another producer without having the package first tested by a laboratory for
				extraction.
(7) After test results
				indicate passed test for all required safety tests and the harvest batch is
				packaged, each package must have a package tag attached. A cultivator shall
				ensure this information is placed in the statewide monitoring system in
				accordance with the acts, the marihuana tracking act, and these
				rules.
(8) A cultivator shall not
				transfer or sell any marihuana product that does not have a package tag
				attached and is not recorded in the statewide monitoring system in accordance
				with the acts, the marihuana tracking act, and these rules.
