Just five weeks after the Home Office granted Sativa Group Plc a Controlled Drug licence for the cultivation of cannabis plants with THC content of greater than 0.2%, along with its production, possession and supply, the first batch of seedlings are thriving. BBC TV News was given exclusive access to the high-security growing facility where the seedings are being prepared to be moved to the cultivation room. The total growing cycle is 12 weeks, allowing for four crops per year.
