1 . A method for estimating extraction yield, the method comprising: (4) (4)

receiving growth data regarding a set of cannabis plants sent over a communication network from one or more grower devices associated with the set of cannabis plants, the growth data sensed by one or more sensors communicatively coupled to at least one of the grower devices;

identifying a type of the cannabis plants based on the received growth data detected by the sensors;

determining an amount of plant matter in the set of cannabis plants based on the identified type, wherein the plant matter is associated with one or more cannabinoids; and

generating an estimate regarding a mass of the cannabinoids that are extractable from the determined amount of plant matter.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending the estimate regarding the mass of the extractable cannabinoids over the communication network to a designated recipient device. (0)

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving a plant profile for the identified type that identifies relative concentrations of the cannabinoids within the identified type, the plant profile received from a database that stores a plurality of plant profiles. (1) (0)

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising: (2) (3)

retrieving historical extraction data associated with the identified type, the historical extraction data retrieved from the database in memory;

identifying a set of extraction parameters from the retrieved historical extraction data that best corresponds to the plant profile; and

sending the identified set of extraction parameters to an extraction apparatus for use in extracting the cannabinoids from the plant matter of the set of cannabis plant.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising: (1) (3)

7 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising receiving a preference regarding extraction, wherein identifying the set of extraction parameters is further based on the received extraction preference. (0)

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the cannabinoids include at least one of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). (0)

9 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising authorizing extraction of the cannabinoids from the set of cannabis plants based on the relative concentrations meeting a predefined threshold concentration of at least one of the cannabinoids. (0)

10 . A system for estimating extraction yield, the system comprising: (4) (3)

one or more sensors that sense growth data regarding a set of cannabis plants;

a growth database associated with one or more grower devices, the growth database storing the growth data regarding the set of cannabis plants; and

an extraction computer communicatively coupled to the one or more sensors that: receives the growth data detected by the sensors over a communication network; identifies a type of the cannabis plants based on the received growth data; determines an amount of plant matter in the set of cannabis plants based on the identified type, wherein the plant matter is associated with one or more cannabinoids; and generates an estimate regarding a mass of the cannabinoids that are extractable from the determined amount of plant matter.

11 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction computer further sends the estimate regarding the mass of the extractable cannabinoids over the communication network to a designated recipient device. (0)

12 . The system of claim 10 , further comprising a database that stores a plurality of plant profiles, (1) (1)

wherein the extraction computer further receives one of the plant profile for the identified type that identifies relative concentrations of the cannabinoids within the identified type.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the extraction computer further retrieves historical extraction data associated with the identified type; and further comprising an extraction apparatus, wherein the extraction computer further identifies a set of extraction parameters from the retrieved historical extraction data that best corresponds to the plant profile and sends the identified set of extraction parameters to the extraction apparatus for use in extracting the cannabinoids from the plant matter of the set of cannabis plant. (2) (0)

17 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the cannabinoids include at least one of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). (0)

18 . The system of claim 10 , wherein the extraction computer further authorizes extraction of the cannabinoids from the set of cannabis plants based on the relative concentrations meeting a predefined threshold concentration of at least one of the cannabinoids. (0)

19 . A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program executable by a processor to implement a method for estimating extraction yield, the method comprising: (0) (4)

identifying a type of the cannabis plants based on the received growth data detected by the sensors;

determining an amount of plant matter in the set of cannabis plants based on the identified type, wherein the plant matter is associated with one or more cannabinoids; and

generating an estimate regarding a mass of the cannabinoids that are extractable from the determined amount of plant matter.
