Healthy plants don't happen by accident. They're the result of skilled hands checking, shaping, and feeding them every single day. As an Indoor Cultivation Associate at our Pullman facility, you'll be one of those hands: guiding crops from fresh clone to finished harvest and keeping our grow rooms running at the standard people expect from Phat Panda. Plan on spending most of your shift on your feet and working directly with the plants.

• Canopy Management: Shape plants through pruning, defoliation, and training so every room produces even, high-quality yields
• Full-Cycle Crop Support: Monitor and care for crops as they move through veg, flower, and harvest
• Feeding: Prepare and deliver nutrient mixes and other grow inputs on schedule
• Room Readiness: Keep grow spaces, tools, and equipment sanitized and inspection-ready
• Setup & Climate: Assist with flipping rooms and dialing in environmental settings
• Harvest Days: Support cutting, hanging, and post-harvest processing
• Research Projects: Contribute to trials that test new strains and growing methods
• Team Support: Pick up additional cultivation tasks as needs shift

• You find real satisfaction in working with living plants
• You keep your quality high even when the task repeats all shift
• You roll with changing priorities without missing a beat
• You speak up, listen well, and work smoothly alongside a crew
• You hold yourself to the same high standard on every plant

• Age: 21 or older
• Education: High school diploma or GED, or an equivalent combination of schooling and work history
• Experience: None required. We'll teach you. A background in horticulture, farming, or gardening is a bonus

• Familiarity with Word, Excel, or label-printing software
• Organized, detail-oriented work habits
• Comfort following standard operating procedures while balancing multiple tasks
• A welcoming attitude toward coaching and a commitment to getting better
• Curiosity about how cannabis is grown
