Speaker 1: second generation grower. Craig his son has grown at his house.

Speaker 1: all the product that we have displayed on our stage

37
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: right now is stuff that we can get from or store.

38
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: Of course that's all over the place Grow Generations. But

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: tell us a little bit about what you do there. Yeah,

40
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: so UM, you're exactly right where a giant retail chain

41
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: where you can buy all the products that you see

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: in front of you. UM. But what I do is

43
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 1: I specialize on UM with our commercial division at grow Generation.

44
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: So we have UM the Management Court division, and it

45
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: is made up of outside commercial account managers. And the

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: commercial account managers are really basically people that we've chosen

47
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: that are have an extreme network in the cannabis and

48
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: UM gardening community across the country that really know how

49
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: to do indoor garden cultivation as well as UM outside

50
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: hemp cultivation or outside farms and greenhouses. And then what

51
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: I do is really kind of helps support them with

52
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,360

Speaker 1: is track all the packages and make sure that the

56
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,600
Speaker 1: customer experience at the commercial level is UM exactly where

57
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: it needs to be. So if you've been a cultivator,

58
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: you know that sometimes it's so important to have things

59
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: when you need it, and people in our industry always

60
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480

00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: license to cultivate UM whatever it is that they want.

84
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: So some of the main customers that we have would

85
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: be stuff like harvest enterprises. UM. We work with Cresco

86
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: a lot of what we consider multi state operators. So

87
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: I'm really my team is really geared towards the commercial

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,159
Speaker 1: side of UM cultivation and cultivating growers because you there's

89
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: such big scale that you often want a commercial account

90
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 1: manager to come and, you know, do on site visits

91
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: for you, or you want us to help you streamline

92
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: your process of ordering because maybe you have UM many

93
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: different places all around the country and you want to

94
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: blueprint what they're using and kind of really lock in

95
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: your purchase price. That you might come to me and

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: we call that like a request for procurement and we'll

97
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: sit down and analyze all the stuff that you're using

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: and make sure that we have it stocked in our warehouses,

99
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: we have it available when you need it UM. And

100
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: so we work with a lot of really big, big

101
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: customers across We just started working with True Leaves too,

102
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: So those are some of the customers you might know.

103
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Or now can people go to the actual store and

104
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: get the product or in your division it's more of shipping. UM.

105
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: For me, it's mostly shipping, but we can do anything.

106
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: So we're working on our omni channel rollout, which is

107
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: they call it bocus. I don't know if you've ever

108
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: heard of this, but by online pickup in store, so

109
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: UM grow generation. We really have our eCOM division to

Speaker 1: all together for you, get a confirmation and make sure

117
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: that it shipped out. How long have you been with

118
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: your company? How long have you been there? Oh I started?

119
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: I think I'm about a year and a half, a

120
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: little over a year and a half now. And and

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: what was it was cannabis? All was uh servicing cannabis

122
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: businesses always on the agenda? Oh good question? So no, Actually, UM,

123
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 1: my background is sports medicine, so UM I went to school.

124
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 1: I have a Masters in Athletic training and UM I

125
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 1: love working with athletes and sports teams and really UM

126
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: at the time, I had a significant other who is heavy,

127
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,919
Speaker 1: heavily involved in the industry, and we decided to start

128
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 1: our own little store in Rhode Island, and so I

129
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: opened that up. We ran that for about five years,

130
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: and we sold it to a gentleman named Dave who

131
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,559
Speaker 1: owned the largest hydroponics retail shop on the East Coast,

132
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: and um, we kind of joined forces with him and

133
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: then they sold to Grow Generations. So that's kind of

134
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: how it goes. Been in the industry a long time. Um,

135
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: but yeah, from owning my own store to now running

136
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: like a really cool division at Grow Generation. I would say,

137
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: you're dealing with a lot and did you actually grow

138
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: yourself to know as much as you know a significant other,

139
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: You've dabbled, so you have a lot of experience when

140
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: someone says this and that, you're like, well, you should

141
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: try this or don't do that, because in my experience,

142
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: this is probably your best bet, you know. So that

143
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: is a funny question because a lot of times people

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 1: think that maybe we um, we advise, but I am

145
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 1: in a position where the majority of the customers I'm

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: working with have a very skilled staff that doesn't necessarily

147
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 1: need my advice. They're just looking for me to get

148
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 1: the products that they're asking for. Where at the retail

149
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: level you get a lot more people asking for your advice.

150
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: I can tell you, like on a high level, you

151
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: might end like a giant size facility, UM a lot

152
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: of atmosphere questions, right, So it is really important to

153
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: have one of our cams walk you through that because

154
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: say you're used to growing in your basement downstairs or

155
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 1: um in your garden out back. That's awesome, but it's

156
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: like it's micro compared to what you do in a

157
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: large facility. And when you get into large facilities, you

158
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 1: get a lot more micro climates that you have to

159
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: control and monitor, and so you need a lot more

160
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 1: high end equipment and advice to help you kind of

161
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: um navigate that process. So it's really nice, especially when

162
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: our commercial account managers work from the ground up, because

163
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: they can be there as like a second set of

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: eyes UM to support you through all the different conversations

165
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: you have from your h fact to your mechanical engineers

166
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 1: UM to your cultivation staff helping you pick a furtigation system, irrigation,

167
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: all that kind of fun stuff. So UM pretty cool,

168
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 1: and it's nice because what we do is UM. You know,

169
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 1: we don't charge for our consultants are commercial account managers.

170
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: We're hoping that we get you through the initial phases

171
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: of your Capex build and we are your partner for

172
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: a long time because my goal is that you want

173
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 1: to come in and buy the fox from and buy

174
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: UM the nutrients and by all the little things that

175
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: you need on a recurring basis year after year after year.

176
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: So to get through a Capex project where you're buying

177
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: all those big pieces of equipment and benching and lights

178
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: and UM air conditioning, that's our priority because we want

179
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: to set you up for success. And when you use

180
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 1: a consultant UM, that's kind of what differentiates us from

181
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: other groups where you pay by the hour. With us,

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: we're not charging you by the hour, but we're hoping

183
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: that you're going to stick with us in the long

184
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: haul and really UM, we can give you the best

185
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: pricing as well as really great advice. So when it

186
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: comes to the last minute items, you're not like, oh,

187
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: I don't know if I can really afford by consultant

188
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: at three hundred dollars an hour to help advise me.

189
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: Let's cut a corner here or there and what you

190
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: don't realize is it's all one giant system that works

191
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,559
Speaker 1: together and each piece is super important to the end product.

192
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:15,559
Speaker 1: What type of functions I had is, you know, what

193
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: are some of the bigger products that that actually the

194
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: bigger consumers I mean, like the commercial size grows are

195
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: using right now? What product lines are hot for for them?

196
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: Like you you mentioned fox farm, UM, what are some

197
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: of the other ones that are hot at your your

198
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: FACILITI are so at the commercial level, I would say

199
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: some really hot UM items are. One of the things

200
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: we love to sell is commercial benching is really fun

201
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,719
Speaker 1: to explain to people how to incorporate vertical benching into

202
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: their space and maximize their UM maximize the volume of

203
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: the area they're in. So once you start going vertical,

204
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: it means you can now do three to four times

205
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: what you were doing before. UM. So really teaching people

206
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: about benching, what that means on their return on investment,

207
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: how long that would take to get a return on investment,

208
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 1: and the type of UM I guess the type of

209
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: equipment that you need to put in and how you

210
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,199
Speaker 1: would place it to manage that type of a facility.

211
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, we do a lot

212
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 1: with UM, I G E becking. We do a lot

213
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: with our partner Fluence and LED lights because once you

214
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: start stacking plants on top of each other, you don't

215
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: necessarily have that kind of space UM for HPS or

216
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: CMH lighting. So we really look to UM try to

217
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: get l e eds in there and it works amazing.

218
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: So anybody who is unsure about l e d s

219
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: know that that was Like back when I owned my

220
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,599
Speaker 1: first stoor, I was unsure about l E d s.

221
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: L E d s are where it's at. I think

222
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: UM on the commercial level and commercial spaces, it's good.

223
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 1: What is benching? The laurel when I when I hear

224
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: the term benching, I think, is that what benching is?

225
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: That everything you're is stacking plants. That's what I took away. Well,

226
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: I don't know, ye like a giant library, So I

227
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: go back to a little bit. Have you remember a

228
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: library where they have like these bend they have these

229
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 1: shelves that are like un rolling crank systems, so they

230
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 1: can fit lots of books in like the basement floor

231
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,280
Speaker 1: of a library. Yes, have you ever seen that? Okay,

232
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 1: so we kind of do that with benching systems. UM

233
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: in the gardening industry. So basically what we do is

234
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: when you use these benchings that it allows you to

235
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: go vertical, but it also allows you to use the

236
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 1: whole footprint of the light, so there's no aisles. If

237
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: light is hitting the floor, you're losing money. So it's

238
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 1: really cool is with these benching systems, they can be

239
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 1: on tracks, they can be solid. What they do is

240
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: you're able to open maximize the amount of space in

241
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: the room that you're using, and like open one lane

242
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 1: to get into care for the plants back up. It's

243
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: like chicken or something like that, right, Like they spin

244
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: the chickens like that. That's what I'm imagining, just a

245
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: bunch of plants like that. On a big level, you

246
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: can like spin a crank to move the benches. But

247
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 1: the benches, they they're just really tall shelves that move

248
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: left and right. Oh, that's always interesting. When you said,

249
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 1: Craig in high school. Now, let me let me ask

250
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 1: you this, what what type of education do the account

251
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,320
Speaker 1: managers have to go out and give this type of

252
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: advice station? Yes, best, best, best know you gotta know somebody.

253
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: It's your network. It's your network that makes you trustworthy.

254
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: If you're not trusted in this industry, it's really hard

255
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 1: to be a good commercial account manager UM. And so

256
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: a lot of it is who you know and who

257
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: I know you know? So does the account manager go

258
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: out to let's say it's a somewhat larger facility and

259
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: maps out where the shelving should be or where the

260
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: benches should be and the atmosphere conditions, or do they

261
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,200
Speaker 1: bring in the experts that they know who deal with

262
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: the atmosphere conditions h V A C. Or does your

263
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: guy know all those technicalities? Yeah, well, I think nobody

264
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: knows is everything. And there's a lot that's happening in

265
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 1: the industry all the time that's keeping us at the forefront. UM.

266
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 1: So what I would I guess the best way to

267
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 1: answer that is each commercial account manager has their own strengths.

268
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: I can tell you that every Thursday, UM I set

269
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: up trainings with um our UM top vendors that we

270
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: work with, and they educate us on all the new

271
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: products that we break down UM, different calculations on how

272
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: to explain return on investment. I can tell you coming up,

273
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: we have a bunch of stuff on irrigation systems and

274
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: furtigation systems, coming because that's a hot request from our team.

275
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: As new systems come out, we need to learn them.

276
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: But overall, I would say some of our commercial account

277
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: managers are really great from A to Z, and some

278
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 1: of them have really um honed in on certain topics

279
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: and we lean on each other um to help fill

280
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: in the gaps, but we absolutely um lean on our

281
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: vendors to help support us. It's kind of cool because

282
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Grow Generation were It's not like we we don't manufacture

283
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: a lot of products, so the options are limitless. If

284
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 1: you come to us and say this is the budget

285
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: and I want options a high, medium, and low for

286
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: the budget, or you have three options you want, I

287
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: can set you up with each one of these technical

288
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 1: vendors to help advise you and then give you a

289
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: second set of eyes and opinion based on knowing the

290
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: whole project. Right, So I think we do a combination

291
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: of both, which is awesome. We're talking to Laura Home,

292
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: the director of Management Corps for Grow Generations. We're gonna

293
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 1: break real quick, and when we come back, we're gonna

294
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: find out if Laurel will hire Blue to be another

295
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: regional manager because Blue has been growing forever so Laurel.

296
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: We're gonna test blue skills right now with what he's

297
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: done in the past at his grows. It's cannabis talk

298
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: one oh one, it's cannabi's talk. Blue is getting on

299
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: nervous right now. So what I want to do, Laurel

300
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: as I want Blue. And by the way, we're talking

301
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: to Laurel Home, the director of Management Corps from grow Generations.

302
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: And if you're looking to grow, you're something that you

303
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: need to grow cannabis or anything else. Grow Generations is

304
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: a spot to go to grow Generation, grow generation dot

305
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: com and grow gin on Instagram, yes, and grow Generations buddy, right,

306
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: So what I want to do right now, Blue is

307
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: I want you to explain your grows because Blue has

308
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:26,080
Speaker 1: been you know, notoriously he's a second generation grower. So Blue,

309
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: I want you to explain your best grow and see

310
00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 1: if Laurel Home, the director of Management Court for Grow Generations,

311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: would give you a thumbs up or say, oh well,

312
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: you know, I want I want to see if he passes. Laurel,

313
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 1: So Blue, please, what do you mean by that? That's

314
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: such a broad question. I just want you to do

315
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: it and let me let me clarify. Let me clarify,

316
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: hold on saying, because he's olveray here talking about me. Uh,

317
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: second generation grower. And you know back in the day

318
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: I did. I come from a family that grew cannabis,

319
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 1: and um I grew for you know, several years myself

320
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: and in the last seven years though I haven't so

321
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: I've been on the show for the last five or

322
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: six though. So I mean, so look at him as

323
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: seven years ago with the step that he used. So

324
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: that's what he's But some of the things that I

325
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: was doing back then, I was joined trades for my

326
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: eight trades. Uh, you know, I I had a real

327
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 1: Um this is before Gavita. I I you know, I've

328
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: actually got to grow with some Gavita plants. I mean

329
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: some Gavita lights as well. Um from the dumb lasmas?

330
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: Did you grow with plasmas? Yes, yes, all and dim

331
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 1: lux as well? You know. Um. One of the things

332
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: though that I thought was interesting and I'm not exactly sure.

333
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: Um uh you know, is is the whole industry going

334
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: l E D right now? Because I thought there was

335
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,760
Speaker 1: a law coming into play that said that every um,

336
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, any of these old growers are gonna have

337
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: to switch over indoor growing, isn'tna have to switch over

338
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 1: to L E D. Have you heard something about that

339
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: as well? Oh yes, UM, so I'm not the I

340
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 1: wouldn't say I'm the formal expert on every state in

341
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 1: all their laws, but yeah, they are talking about a

342
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: certain amount of electricity per square foot. So I would

343
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:16,520
Speaker 1: say that, UM, the whole industry isn't there, UM, and

344
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: it's not where it has to be. And there's still

345
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: times when maybe you would choose other than an LED.

346
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: But at the commercial level, UM, you know, we're looking

347
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: at UM, we're looking down the road when we're building

348
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: these places, and one of them is energy consumption and

349
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 1: how to minimize our energy consumption as well as like

350
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: GMP certified, UM, you know, medical all that stuff. So

351
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 1: when we're building there, they are our teams are thinking

352
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: about that and advising towards that, just because it is

353
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,159
Speaker 1: such a heavy investment. But UM, it doesn't mean that

354
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,320
Speaker 1: it's always the right situation or the right choice. But

355
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: I would say that there is often sometimes um a

356
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 1: miss snow or that l eds aren't up to par.

357
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: And I would tell you that on average, I really

358
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:07,399
Speaker 1: believe that they are UM, and I do believe that

359
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: the commercial level is definitely going that way. I wouldn't

360
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: say that the home um, the home grow is going

361
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,959
Speaker 1: that way. UM, And I don't know that it's the

362
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: best option for home growers at all times due to

363
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: the expense. So let me ask you this, But on

364
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: a commercial level, you would agree that that that it

365
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: should be heading towards the LED. Uh. You know, and

366
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:28,439
Speaker 1: and a lot of these guys are gonna have to

367
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: restructure as as the industry is. You know, their lights

368
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: are getting old. Um. You know they've been in use

369
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 1: for several years. And you would suggest as a professional

370
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 1: right to to emerge into an LED model. For commercial

371
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 1: I definitely suggest that it should be on the list

372
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 1: of UM, a list that they should look at for

373
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: pros and cons and understanding where they are guiding their

374
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: company for the future and how long they want to

375
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 1: be around. Got you? Now, let me ask you this.

376
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: There are lots of vendors out there here in California

377
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 1: who consultants who who consult for big grows and architects

378
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: and all that kind of stuff. Now are you a

379
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: substitute for some of that? If if I've got a

380
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: client who wants to build a cultivation. Do they go

381
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 1: to you and say, hey, I wanna I wanna I've

382
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: got this much square foot, I wanna grow this much volume.

383
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: You know what should I do? Do you guys do that? Absolutely? Yeah,

384
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: they absolutely could come to us um UM as long

385
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: as they're licensed, you know, so they could come to

386
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: us and UM ask that question and we would absolutely

387
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: help them out. We also work with lots of consultants

388
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 1: who are in place, and we help support them be

389
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 1: the best consultants they can and make sure they're offering

390
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,040
Speaker 1: their customers products at the best price point that are

391
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: designed to work together. So because we don't make money

392
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: off of like the exact, we don't make money off

393
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: of the consulting directly. UM. It's our job to advise

394
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,199
Speaker 1: and be trusted. And you know what this industry it's not.

395
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,199
Speaker 1: You can't all is just walk in and people are

396
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: going to trust. You have to earn that. I think

397
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: just in life too. So UM the hand chacken you're

398
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,520
Speaker 1: normally there and now over time what they realize is that,

399
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 1: you know, we are there for the customer experience and

400
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 1: the service. We're not there to push products. We're there

401
00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,440
Speaker 1: to provide the products that are wanted by the facility.

402
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: So whether that's the consultant asking us um or the

403
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: facility owner or the facility teams, they generally will rely

404
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: on us, especially after working with us for a little

405
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: while because they realized that, um, you know, we're transparent,

406
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: a hunter percent transparent with what we're after and of

407
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: course we want the consumable sales for many years at

408
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: the best price for them. Sure. And Laurel Home, she's

Speaker 1: the you know, the United States, maybe even globally, and

419
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 1: you know you're sitting there working on five computers talking

420
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: to a grower here, a grower there, grower everywhere. What

421
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,280
Speaker 1: are some of the unique tricks that you've heard from

422
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: somebody that goes, wow, I can't believe they're adding this

423
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,719
Speaker 1: to their grow What an interesting twist. What are some

424
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: of the things are you asking some of the crazy stories? Yeah,

425
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: some good crazy stories and stuff very similar to crazy

426
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: stories where you're like, wow, I can't believe they're doing that. Yes,

427
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: m let's think about that one for a moment um.

428
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 1: That's a tricky question. I hope they're not listening. If

429
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 1: I say this, I don't have to say their name.

430
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: You can just say the scenario. Yeah, no, okay, So

431
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. One of the craziest scenarios I ever

432
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: had was, um underwater culture. Does everybody know like deep

433
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 1: water under culture system and root rot? Going on? No,

434
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: explain to our listeners. Oh okay, sorry, now all right. So, UM,

435
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: a deep water culture system is like a um bucket

436
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 1: system where the entire it's it's true hydroponics where and

437
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: I say true in that it's like what you think

438
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: of of hydroponics. So the the plant, the roots ball

439
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: is all underwater. So it's not like in an inert

440
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: girl medium. It's literally in the system, just chilling in

441
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: the water. So you can get um different types of

442
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,479
Speaker 1: fungus and um molds are backteries. You can get some

443
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,479
Speaker 1: problems with stuff if the water isn't aerated properly, so

444
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: there's UM. There's a certain level of absorption that needs

445
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: to be at the root zone, and so the water

446
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 1: needs to be errated to make all those things happen

447
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:04,879
Speaker 1: and be happy. And I know that we once had

448
00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: a customer. It was interesting because they had pithium, which

449
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: is also known as root rock and UM. We suggested,

450
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: you know, maybe breaking down their system because in a

451
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,400
Speaker 1: in this system that all the deep water culture plants

452
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,399
Speaker 1: were connected to one another, so one has it, that

453
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: means they all have it. And so the reality is

454
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 1: is you should just like clean that up, like break

455
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: it down, clean it up, and maybe UM use a

456
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 1: bleach solution to do that. And I remember the gentleman

457
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 1: came back in and he was like, oh, wow, I

458
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: just put you know, I I don't know, I think

459
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: I ruined the whole system. I went out and bought

460
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: like twenty gallons of bleach and dumped it in there,

461
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: and I almost died knowing that he didn't like make

462
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: a solution of bleach and water, but bleach the like

463
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: just filled. I mean that's got to be not good stuff. Um.

464
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: I'm always make sure that I'm very clear. No, you know,

465
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: I think she said use bleach. That's a very important

466
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: clear thing to be, you know. Yeah, you shouldn't just um.

467
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 1: And I mean the stories go on. I really think

468
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: that you guys could hold a whole comedy show based

469
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: on grows stories and what has happened or what we

470
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: hear about at the stores. Is there is there really

471
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: a way to like save a bad crop. If you're

472
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: sitting there and you you know, I got a fungus

473
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: or something, what do you recommend to somebody who has

474
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,080
Speaker 1: a bad crop? Is it just al wasted or is

475
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: it salvageable? No, there are times that it is salvageable.

476
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: But I would say call or call me. I would say,

477
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: email me at sales at grow generation dot com, and

478
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,560
Speaker 1: I will put you in touch with the person who

479
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 1: will help you figure that out. Yeah, you know what

480
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 1: I think that that is, you know, Joe, And and

481
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: for our listeners that don't know, I mean in a

482
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: grow room, you're always battling something you know, I don't know,

483
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 1: you know, you people people think that Oh, it's gonna

484
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,520
Speaker 1: be nice and easy. And and like I always tell people,

485
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: I think the first girl is like pretty easy. Uh,

486
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's not hard in the sense of unless

487
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: you're going for a record or you know, in a

488
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:18,480
Speaker 1: commercial show grow. I mean, if you're in a commercial environment,

489
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 1: it's a whole different ballgame. But if you're you know,

490
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: doing a small room or a small you know, a

491
00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: small individual girl. And then if you start getting into

492
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,720
Speaker 1: commercial you know, you you getting through that the first

493
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 1: time because the rooms almost sterilized clean because you care

494
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: that much. Then you start getting into your second girl,

495
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 1: and and you know, the room is not as clean anymore,

496
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,199
Speaker 1: and unless you did a really excellent job cleaning it,

497
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 1: and you start to develop you know, bad habits, and

498
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 1: and things start to you know, people start developing bad

499
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 1: habits and maybe not cleaning themselves as well as they

500
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: should when they walk into the grow room to you know,

501
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 1: allowing that the temperatures to be off. There's so many

502
00:26:56,920 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: different scenarios that can happen that it's an all time battle,

503
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: you know, and uh, the best of the best, they'll

504
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: make mistakes and you know, and and we'll still have

505
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 1: a bad crop. If you know, if you're a grower,

506
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 1: it's not if you've had one, it's it's once the

507
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 1: last time you had one. You're gonna have one if

508
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,600
Speaker 1: you're if you're a grower, you're gonna have bad crops.

509
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: And some of them are. And I think what you know,

510
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: grow Generation having the ability to reach out to their

511
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: staff is just amazing for uh, you know a grower,

512
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: you know someone that even myself, I haven't been growing,

513
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: you know, as as frequent as they used to. So

514
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 1: going into that it's gonna be helped to refresh your

515
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 1: memory and get you back on the ball and start

516
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 1: to get out there. Let me ask you this, UM,

517
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 1: I know you're in the commercial end of it, but

518
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:49,439
Speaker 1: for those states that have adult use or medical and

519
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,080
Speaker 1: you're able to grow your own six plants or twelve plants, UM,

520
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:57,879
Speaker 1: what is the service like on the level for the

521
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: customers that come into the stores? UM? I guess I'm biased,

522
00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: but I think our stores are great. UM. Our store

523
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: managers are there, the staff is there. When you go

524
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: into a growth shop, its still has that kind of

525
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 1: feel of you know, we're all friends, UM, we all

526
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 1: belong and you know they're ready, and the staff is

527
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,640
Speaker 1: ready to help you figure out whatever you need. And

528
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,720
Speaker 1: our stores are a huge piece of how the commercial

529
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,399
Speaker 1: division operates because we're totally one team and we have

530
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: to have UM commercial liaisons at the floor level, at

531
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 1: the store level. So UM service should be the same

532
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 1: whether you're in a tent or you're in a huge facility,

533
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 1: but the the information you're getting changes because there's a

534
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: lot more you have to take consideration at that scale. Yeah,

535
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: Now do you do your do your employees advised? Like

536
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: if I came in and say, hey, I want to

537
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: grow six six cannabis plants specifically, Yeah, well, you know,

538
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: put a package together for me, and they can put

539
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: a package together and say, you know, obviously you have

540
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 1: Heroes seeds, but aside from the seed, you say you

541
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: can get this mult this nutrient, that nutrient, and this

542
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: is how you should do it. This is how you

543
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,920
Speaker 1: you know, have lights, this is the light you should

544
00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:14,600
Speaker 1: get walk into your Absolutely, So yeah, I would do

545
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: a couple of different things at the store level. I

546
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 1: would say the questions are when somebody is new coming

547
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 1: in can be very overwhelming walking into a growth shop

548
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: and you just look at the our Our stores are huge,

549
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,080
Speaker 1: their floor to ceiling with with lots of product, how

550
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: do you choose right? Like somebody who's new, it's overwhelming,

551
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: So it's really important you do ask for help and

552
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 1: you do get pointed in the right direction. Um I

553
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: think the biggest question is for me is what is

554
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,520
Speaker 1: your budget? What is your goal? And um what size

555
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: space do we have to work with? So knowing those things,

556
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: let's put it on paper, let's build a plan, Like

557
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:54,040
Speaker 1: is organic really important to you? Is aquaponic's important to you?

558
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: Is hydro important to you? Do you want to experiment

559
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: with coca grow? You could have to have understanding and

560
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: a feel for what the customer wants to do. And

561
00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons that I think you know

562
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: online is great and extending the aisle because there is

563
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: a piece of us um as a community that already

564
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: know what we want, and then there's another huge piece

565
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: that we don't necessarily know when we need help. And

566
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: if you don't have a friend holding your hand, absolutely

567
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,680
Speaker 1: leaning on our stores, leaning on our staff, they're excellent

568
00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: and they will help. They'll help you make the choices

569
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: you need for your projects. So it's not only generation

570
00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: where the pros go to grow. It could where the

571
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: rookies to the rookies. And that means say, say someone's

572
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: listening and they're a rookie, And like Craig said, six

573
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: plants is legal in California. And if someone wanted to

574
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: go to a California store, they're not tripping off the organics.

575
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: They're not tripping off this and that. They just want

576
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 1: to grow some weed and there want to grow some

577
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: I just want to grow some read we I'm in Arica,

578
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: I'm in Santa Rosa, I'm in Conquer. That's your locations

579
00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: are in California. If they want to go to one

580
00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 1: of the stores there and Cali, what do you think,

581
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: bare bones? Let me grow six plants would hit for me?

582
00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,040
Speaker 1: How much would that cost? I don't need organic. I

583
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 1: just want to grow six plants so I could grow

584
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: some How about this? How about this? I'm looking for

585
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,200
Speaker 1: the cheapest way to grow. Is the cheaper way going

586
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: to be outdoor or is it gonna be indoor for me?

587
00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: You tell me outdoor? Outdoor? Of course? Right, Okay, there's

588
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:32,959
Speaker 1: nothing that substitute the sun. So what is something like

589
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 1: that cost? Beautiful? The rookie. The rookie guy goes, what

590
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 1: do I need to buy Do I need to buy

616
00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,680

631
00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: said us a bunch of stuff. I want you to

632
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,920
Speaker 1: describe what these Halloween baskets are. First off, I thought

633
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:57,480
Speaker 1: these were for us for Halloween. They're big black bags.

634
00:33:57,520 --> 00:34:03,440
Speaker 1: Are they true liberty bags or what are what is this? Um?

635
00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: So it's great that I can kind of see them.

636
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: They look like they're fabric pots to me. Yes, Oh

637
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 1: is that what those are? Fabric? Black fabric pots, you know?

638
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:17,120
Speaker 1: Can you walk one up to please? Okay? Here, black

639
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: fabric pots? So that's what we five gallon ten gallon? Yeah,

640
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: so those are the true liberty black black pots for growing.

641
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 1: So you can put soil right in them. You can

642
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: put your plants in them. The roots go right through

643
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: um and they grow very nice. So you literally just

644
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: put soil and then bury this whole bag in the ground.

645
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: We're not, well, you don't have to bury the bag

646
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: in the ground. You could put it above gun as well.

647
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,680
Speaker 1: But oh really, so there's bag doesn't need so we

648
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 1: could do those old plastic pots. Can we start growing

649
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: in these bags right here in the like? Can we

650
00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: grow one right in front of the studio right here?

651
00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: And if I would, you know, absolutely due? I think

652
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: we honestly should. Let's do it right A little one, bigger, bigger,

653
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 1: But no, well, all four of these, it's still up

654
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,880
Speaker 1: all these bags, and see what happens. There's four bags.

655
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean I see the soil on the front to

656
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,360
Speaker 1: so the fox farm ocean forest and happy for them

657
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: and the mother earth cocoa. I would say, you know, um,

658
00:35:15,600 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 1: definitely the ocean. They're both great, right, but I would

659
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: definitely throw some ocean forest soil in there. It's a

660
00:35:21,719 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: great soil. You don't want to start your plants in that, um,

661
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,880
Speaker 1: but you can definitely. You don't want to start your

662
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:31,879
Speaker 1: plan in that give us, you know, real education. Why

663
00:35:31,880 --> 00:35:33,799
Speaker 1: don't you want to start it in one of these

664
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: big bags of what you just described what it is? Well, so,

665
00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 1: the fox farm soil is amazing soil, but it has

666
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,160
Speaker 1: a lot of nutrients, and when you have young plants,

667
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 1: you don't want to burn the root zone. So um,

668
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: the nutrients can burn that. It's I consider it like

669
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: it's it's great for when you transplant for to a

670
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,280
Speaker 1: medium size or a larger plant. But I wouldn't start babies.

671
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 1: I would I would use something a little bit more, um,

672
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: a nert like a pearl mix and pearl light um.

673
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,719
Speaker 1: And yeah, definitely does that the root Yeah what is

674
00:36:03,760 --> 00:36:09,319
Speaker 1: that what is the root for? Um? I mean it

675
00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: helps your roots grow so that way they can suck

676
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,560
Speaker 1: up all the nutrients. Can we put that on Jennifer's hair?

677
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Who does our camera to help her roots? Because her

678
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:25,120
Speaker 1: roots on her hair are growing crazy? You know, don't

679
00:36:25,160 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 1: answer it, just no answer. Joe does that sometimes I

680
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:33,520
Speaker 1: just want no answer. Required attack other people that are

681
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: But what what? What? What brings me back? Are these trimmers?

682
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 1: Oh my god, I don't know. I don't know how

683
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: many years ago when we had to grow in our

684
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: backyard and I would say we had fifty or so

685
00:36:50,640 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 1: planned and sounds legal. We we literally had trimming parties

686
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,719
Speaker 1: where I know my son would go and get those

687
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:05,879
Speaker 1: from Grow Generation at grow Generation dot com and Grow General.

688
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,680
Speaker 1: I want to say, Joe, I don't people who say, Joe,

689
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: it's grow Generation dot com and oh my god, the

690
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: trimming parties we had. I actually got pretty good at

691
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,799
Speaker 1: trimming plants. But those things work great. So I see

692
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 1: you have two different styles. There is one of them

693
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:23,080
Speaker 1: are curved blade. Well, I'm just wondering if with these

694
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:25,799
Speaker 1: work on Craig's nose hairs, because those are getting so long.

695
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: He looks like he's growing dreads out of another one

696
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 1: of those no answer required, the anti fatigue. They will

697
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 1: work on nose hairs. We get all different styles of

698
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:41,080
Speaker 1: of scissors, and so you want to find one that

699
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 1: feels good in your hand or else you get those

700
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 1: hand cramps. Right. Oh yeah, it was that the difference

701
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 1: when I used to be in the room and I

702
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,920
Speaker 1: used to you know, trim. When I first started, I

703
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 1: trimmed my own, you know, as long as I could,

704
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,960
Speaker 1: and have you know, little parties until your hands, right,

705
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:00,719
Speaker 1: gim a couple of bucks. After after years of doing it,

706
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:04,480
Speaker 1: ice thing. Man, I'm gonna have complications with my hands. Yeah,

707
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 1: I mean this, it's a real job, you know. And

708
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,680
Speaker 1: then you realize you or your hands are just becoming

709
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: a lot stronger because you're just working. People don't People

710
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: don't realize what it takes to trim those buds of things.

711
00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:21,960
Speaker 1: They just think they automatically come. They are they automatically

712
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: come in a bag or in a can or in

713
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: a jar. Yeah, magically with no leaf on it. It's

714
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,680
Speaker 1: pretty funny. So that's why you need to go get

715
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: some precision pruner, trim fast, stainless. I like this. I

716
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: don't think they had anti fatigue lightweight pruners when I

717
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: was I don't think they had these specifically, and I

718
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: needed them. And when you're using those, would up, would

719
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: you use the trim bin as well to uh, you know,

720
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:58,719
Speaker 1: go with the these scissors. Yeah, I mean croptobers around

721
00:38:58,760 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: the corner. And so we need, um, we like to

722
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,799
Speaker 1: have a lot of trim bins on hand because you're

723
00:39:04,800 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: gonna have a really healthy crop. You're gonna need a

724
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,319
Speaker 1: lot of places to put um your crop, and you're

725
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:12,600
Speaker 1: gonna need all those scissors for sure. Okay, and here's

726
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: another product that we have here. Speaking of that though,

727
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:17,480
Speaker 1: for a second, let me let me ask you this

728
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 1: right now, with crop October coming, do you see like

729
00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: huge influx of of you know, of nets and trays

730
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: and and just different you know, um, you know, people

731
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 1: utilizing these scissors and purchasing them for the smaller and

732
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 1: the bigger farmers. I mean, because I'm sure that you

733
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: know there's there's people out there even during the tomato

734
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 1: guys and things like that they all really need to to,

735
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:44,560
Speaker 1: uh you know, come pick up a product at this time.

736
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,919
Speaker 1: So you guys see a huge result at this time

737
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 1: of the year. Absolutely. UM. I can tell you our

738
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: purchasing team has all our stores are stocked and UM.

739
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,800
Speaker 1: You know, we have the scissors and we have the bins,

740
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 1: but we also have trim machine, so we have a

741
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,640
Speaker 1: lot of stuff on hand ready to go UM. And

742
00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,040
Speaker 1: I'm we're definitely ready and we definitely see an influx,

743
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:11,120
Speaker 1: so I know that UM. Obviously a lot of indoor

744
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: isn't necessarily UM driven by C October, but the outdoor

745
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 1: is right. So that's why we see a lot more

746
00:40:19,160 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: during this time because it's like an overload UM compared

747
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:26,840
Speaker 1: to just consistent throughout the year. And what about cysts

748
00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: as well? Now, what about this product right here? What

749
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:34,480
Speaker 1: is this and what is it used for? UM Advanced

750
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:38,719
Speaker 1: nutrients sensy bloom part A, So sensy bloom comes UM.

751
00:40:38,719 --> 00:40:40,880
Speaker 1: It's a part A and a part B and that

752
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: is the base bloom food. So when your plants are

753
00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:47,959
Speaker 1: in flower, that is the base nutrient that you would

754
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 1: be using UM. And then there's some additives that you

755
00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,760
Speaker 1: can add, but that's kind of UM what the bloom

756
00:40:53,840 --> 00:40:55,399
Speaker 1: is for. So it's an A and B and then

757
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: there should be a grow A and B which is

758
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: the yellow all right, that's over here on the stage. Okay,

759
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:01,480
Speaker 1: so you use both of those. By the way, we

760
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,239
Speaker 1: love big micro Generations. Big Mike's been on our show

761
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,919
Speaker 1: several times. This product has been amazing. Yeah. Great. So,

762
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:10,279
Speaker 1: So if let's say I'm here in southern California and

763
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: I don't believe there's a store in southern California yet,

764
00:41:13,400 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 1: and I wanted to start up my own personal grow

765
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,920

771
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: down in Palm Springs. Um, he's amazing. I don't know

772
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: if that's considered southern California. I was going to say

773
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 1: about hour and a half, two hours. I mean, California

774
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,359
Speaker 1: is huge, so I know it's in the more southern part, right,

775
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,720
Speaker 1: but UM, you know, Brando is amazing down at Palm Springs.

776
00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,120
Speaker 1: I highly recommend anybody in that area go say hi

777
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,919
Speaker 1: to him, but definitely hit up our our e com site. Uh,

Speaker 1: order and help you out and quote you out, say,

781
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 1: Laurel Horn not home if we want to, which you know,

782
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 1: I'm sure Blue could come across our Craig could come

783
00:42:19,000 --> 00:42:23,319
Speaker 1: across the seeds somewhere in their stashes. Uh, if we

784
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,360
Speaker 1: want to put these de use And I think we

785
00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 1: should really do that, Blue, I really think we should

786
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: do it and let it grow right in front of

787
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:34,839
Speaker 1: the should go through the process, call grow Generation dot com,

788
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: get on with their support and have them walk us

789
00:42:38,040 --> 00:42:41,240
Speaker 1: through an order. And you think if you called Laurel

790
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: she'd remember you. I think she might, big brother. Of course,

791
00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is you flatter me and thinking that

792
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: I'm a commercial account manager, which I know a lot

793
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 1: of products and I know a lot of science. However,

794
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 1: there are years of experience in many systems supersed my awesomeness.

795
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: So I would definitely, um, you would call me and

796
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,120
Speaker 1: I would coordinate, um the best commercial account manager to

797
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: help you. But I would love to put you in

798
00:43:12,920 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 1: contact with my team and UM see if we could

00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:18,000
Speaker 1: get you a nice little plant going. We want to

800
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Speaker 1: grow one, right here and everybody can watch it grow.

801
00:43:20,480 --> 00:43:23,279
Speaker 1: I agree with Yeah. One of the things I think

802
00:43:23,320 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 1: is you can't be involved Tho because he's been a grower. No,

803
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,359
Speaker 1: the whole, the whole, the whole. I think the goal

804
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:32,600
Speaker 1: of it all is is one is what I'm gathering

805
00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 1: is you know, having the right people like you know,

806
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: over grow generation that are gonna be you know, humble

807
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: down to earth and and you know, take the time

808
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:44,280
Speaker 1: to know that. There's no stupid question. I mean even

809
00:43:44,360 --> 00:43:45,920
Speaker 1: in the sense of it. You know, that's what I

810
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:49,600
Speaker 1: gathered because I've I've actually you know, been to to uh,

811
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, one of the locations and and you know,

812
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,080
Speaker 1: I've been inside and talk to the people there, and

813
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: they're just normal people that want to help you out,

814
00:43:56,680 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: that are interested that to understand the environment, understand what

815
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:03,640
Speaker 1: what they're uh. And you know, it's good. It's good

816
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: to have somebody like that and that you can work with,

817
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 1: you know, and some people don't have time for you

818
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:12,359
Speaker 1: or they won't try and create that that that I think,

819
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: you know, you hit it on the nose earlier. So

820
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: it's like a like a family or you know, when

821
00:44:16,760 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 1: you come in there, it's not like you know, somebody

822
00:44:19,120 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 1: that this corporate facility that just doesn't have time to

823
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: talk to you or do anything, they really will sit

824
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:28,000
Speaker 1: with you, which is I think the culture of of

825
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:31,360
Speaker 1: of cannabis and the culture of growers and which is

826
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: important to have to you know, yeah, that feel. But

827
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: when you want to get commercial and you want to

828
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: get down to the fifty uh drums, the fifty gallon

829
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,799
Speaker 1: drums and the palettes of you know, ordering, they have

830
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 1: the ability to go ahead and deliver that for you

831
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,239
Speaker 1: and allow you to understand that they can help you

832
00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:52,360
Speaker 1: in that note too, which is I think that the

833
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 1: happy medium that most of us are looking for, as

834
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:57,799
Speaker 1: as you know people in the industry, as as you know,

835
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: massive growers, the big operator to the to the micro operators.

836
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's what's good about generation from

837
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: my experience. You know. Thank you so, Laura. I want

838
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:10,640
Speaker 1: to deal a quiz right now for you. And I

839
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 1: know you're a big shot over there. So how many

840
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,399
Speaker 1: stores had you've been dealing with everybody across the country

841
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:22,680
Speaker 1: are in Maine? How many stores are in how many

842
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 1: storm we have Brewer Bideford in York? Look at you?

843
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,600
Speaker 1: So far, so good. I'm gonna go to the next one.

844
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 1: What about in Michigan. Where are you guys located in Michigan. Well,

845
00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: Michigan gets a little dicey because they're kind of revamping.

846
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: So um, we have the UM the H two West

847
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:48,400
Speaker 1: Lansing store, we have Livonia, we have Grand Rapids. I

848
00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:51,279

849
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:54,640
Speaker 1: that the same thing? Are they changed that loop? No?

850
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 1: So we have the West Lansing and I think they

851
00:45:57,800 --> 00:45:59,920
Speaker 1: merged the West Lansing in the South Lansing or they

852
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: m probably you know what, we have the Lansing stores
