RE: It ain't always easy

in #weed7 years ago

Fair enough. It sounds like you do indeed have some expirience. It's hard for someone like myself to not be offended over someone talking about your plants, especially when they have never stepped foot in your facility. As I put every drop of sweat I produce in to my work, I do take pride and ownership. But Ignorant or Naive, I am neither.

I will always listen to what someone has to offer, but it is offensive to offer consulting work based on 1 photo. And it probably shouldn't be, but we have turned this facility from what it was, to what it is now. I hand watered 5 rooms, (44 HPS lights per) every day until automation came through. We've fought, dug teeth and nail to survive and now we are growing faster and better. We turned it from a failure to a success in an undereducated, undervalued, and overtaxed market, operating basically like a start up. 4 man grow team. Now we net 300k a month.

The industrial cannabis is especially hard to compare to something you have grown for medicinal purposes.
I don't doubt that you have plants that look 15x better than our best. But it's simply not possible for us to do that until we reach a certain capitol to be able to spend more man hours on plants. In this industry in Washinton, if we can't produce our cannabis for less than 1 dollar a gram, trimmed, packaged, everything... You're not going to survive.

So I do apologize for taking offence, but this particular strain is our most difficult plant to grow. It is nearly half if not less the size than any other plant we grow, the node seperation is almost non existent. But the people want it. So we grow it for them. Also, we are required to grow a certain set of strains per our business contract. So really, we're growing the strains that are given to us, and making them as healthy as possible. We don't grow from seed so we don't have the opportunity to hunt either, all clone. It's business, as much as I hate saying that about cannabis.

So yes, you are correct. But Industrial vs. Medical. Huge difference. I choose medical cannabis every time over industrial, handsdown. But this is where I landed, and I plan to make it as medical as humanly possible. Good luck out there :)

Oh! If you want a super simple, economical and ACCURATE test for CBD... here's one I refined which takes only 8 minutes. Full color comparison available in less than 20 minutes. ;) You can test plants before you flower, and be reasonably accurate at flowering the highest CBD. It works with as little as 35mg of dried cannabis.

You're welcome. :) 8-Minute Home CBD Indicator Test

Thank you! I'm glad that we understand eachother 😊 And thank you for the video. I love learning new things about the plant. So lovely!

Really though, I appreciate your communication skills and the way we were able to express ourselves and opinions without a harsh argument or negativity. Cheers to you sir! 🍻🌲💰

That's not a video... its a simple method you guys can use, to sort plants for CBD. You'd be able to select the top 5 or so, out of hundreds, to send in for lab testing. ;)

There was a crude method posted a while back on the web. I refined it and posted the details of how to do it yourself.

Please pass this information on to other growers, and users, of cannabis, please. It's super simple and will help people get more CBD into the community. :D

Thanks!

I will definitely do my part on spreading the info. When I replied I had not opened the link yet so I did not notice it wasn't a video 😅

Thank you once again sir 😊

Well Said

it doesn't help my diplomacy is awful. :) It's only this good due to my wife beating basic principles into my autistic head. :D

Awesome on you guys to reach what you have. Here's looking to further progress in 2018! :D
