59
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: not a grower, you might be a shower. But that's

60
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: a different concept that we like to talk about. And

61
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: we're not talking about that one right there, even though

62
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 1: somebody has the porn studio in the background. But we

63
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: have from Grow Generation Andrew Harley and the director of

64
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 1: R and D and private label. We're gonna talk to

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: him about all that. And Eric Singleton, the director of Harvesting.

66
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Welcome guys to Cannabis Talk one on one. Thanks pleasure.

67
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: You know what's funny is you guys both really hold

68
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: the look of the typical stoner grower. I mean a

69
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: one Yola picture. It's like, hey, you got this guy

70
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: to help you grow your stuff. Yes, it's like, here's

71
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: a picture of Andrew. He's the director of R and

72
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: D at Grow Generation. He's bald with a big beard

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: and he's got nuggets in his beard. I mean, I

74
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: feel contract. It's like we can't cut the beard, and

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,560
Speaker 1: like I'm thinking about shaving, and the owners like, no,

76
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: you're not, No, you're not the guy with the beard.

77
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: The grower. Well, that's Andrew right there. Andrew is the

78
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: one with the beard. This is a look that was

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: crafted over centuries for so so let's start with you. Andrew.

80
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: You're the director of ar and you, what exactly is

81
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: that besides a great big title? Oh wait, the storms

82
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 1: apologize guys, storms coming. Oh. I thought you were going

83
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 1: to describe it with some music. I thought music all

84
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: we heard. I asked you what was the director of

85
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 1: ary besides a big title? And then I go explain

86
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: what it is what you do besides the big title?

87
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: And then this music came in. I thought you were

88
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: setting yourself jet to Yeah, let me tell you what

89
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: I do for the company. I do fly the company

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: jet as needed more more often than not. I split

91
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 1: my time between working with our purchasing department on product development,

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: where we're pretty pretty deep into a process of trying

93
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: to see where we can find angles where we can

94
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: manufacture and reach out directly to manufacturers and bringing products

95
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: that are comparable to the things that they're used to

96
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: getting from other vendors and offer from uh, you know,

97
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: a similar quality product at much better price. So I

98
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: work a lot on that, and then I spend the

99
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: other probably fifty of my time working directly with commercial

100
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: accounts all over the country as a salesman. And as

101
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: you say product development, I'm just curious, are you sitting

102
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 1: there working and getting your nose to the streets of

103
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: what other growers are doing and using and telling your company, look,

104
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: this is what's hot at this random grow or that

105
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: grow and where we may not be selling some products

106
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: like that, but maybe we should look into it. Is

107
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: that kind of a concept of your that you do. Yeah,

108
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: I mean to some extent, yes, Um, there there are

109
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: you know, there are certain certain number of products that

110
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: we carry in all of our retail stores that are oh,

111
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,599
Speaker 1: garden accessories, um, you know, trellis and tools and twist

112
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 1: ties and shears and all those kind of things. That's

113
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 1: kind of the lower, low hanging fruit. Uh. And then

114
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: beyond that, we're we're working on some bigger things too

115
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: that include include uh nutrient line complete complete nutrient line,

116
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 1: as well as lighting, l ED S, h I d S,

117
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 1: ceramic metal alliedes and so yeah, we're definitely definitely trying

118
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: to keep tabs on what's working in the industry, what's

119
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, what's hot, what's getting a lot of attention,

120
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: and just you know, trying to find some trying to

121
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,800
Speaker 1: find some niches where we can capitalize on that. When

122
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: did you try to make some stuff bigger and better, bigger, better, frostier,

123
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: sexier all that did ship? When did you start getting

124
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: interested in in all the growing and uh everything like

125
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: that that led up to you getting this position? Um?

126
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: I started growing around nineteen five, basically the year I

127
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: graduated high school. Um And I tell you what, this

128
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: year is the first year I want to say since

129
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: that time that I have had any period of time

130
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: where I have not actively had a garden. I'm sorry

131
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: to hear that. So let me ask you, grow Generation

132
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: little breaks good every once in a while. So grow

133
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: Generation right now is actually producing your own product lines

134
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: as well? Is that what you're saying? And so and

135
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: so what is your what's going to be your flagship product? Well,

136
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 1: that remains to be seen. I work. I'm working on

137
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 1: a number of different nutrient related projects, both dry and

138
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: water soluble powders. I certainly would like to think that

139
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: will ultimately maybe be the cornerstone of the private label project.

140
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: But we definitely have some really cool happening things coming

141
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: forth on the lighting front too that I'm very excited.

142
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: Is that going to be an LED light or are

143
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: you talking LED lights or are you gonna go both?

144
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 1: We're we're definitely the first one out of the gate

145
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: is gonna be a seven hundred or they're about what

146
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: predominantly flower spectrum l e ed. But uh, we are

147
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 1: also doing double ended metal Hillies fantastic as well as

148
00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: ceramic metal Hillies and pretty much anything that still readily

149
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: in use across the industry. We're trying to make sure

150
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: that we've got it covered. So is this the first

151
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: shot at private label? This is a project that it

152
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: got started about a year ago, and uh, it's been

153
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 1: a it's been a definite learning curve. I will definitely

154
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: say that kudos to everybody that's ever tried to register

155
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: a product and uh carry out extensive testing on nutrients

156
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 1: in various different growing medias and types of irrigation systems. Um,

157
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: you know, it's a it's definitely been a learning curve.

158
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,560
Speaker 1: It's it's also been uh really really enjoyable. Did you

159
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 1: get to meet the patent and trademark lawyers? I have

160
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 1: a flor Chinneli. At this point, we have a full

161
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: time compliance officer that he handles the bureaucrats for me.

162
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: Lucky you, Lucky you don't gotta deal with guys like us. Well,

163
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 1: you're listening to Eric and you guys you guys hardly

164
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: seem like a bunch of bureaucrats. We're here with Eric

167
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 1: welcome back to Cannabis Talk one on one. Mark Washerman,

168
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: Craig Washerman and Mr Joe Grande and of course Mr

169
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: Blue a k a. Christopher. Right, we just heard from

170
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: Andrew Harley and the director of our and d at

171
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: Grow Generation. I'm just curious before we start talking to

172
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Eric Andrew, do you use any of the product or

173
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 1: what products do you use on the beard and the

174
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: bald head? What keeps that so clean and great? From

175
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 1: Grow Generation? Boy, if I told you that, I'd have

176
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: to kill you. Well, we we love the beard. We

177
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: love the duck dynasty. I love it. I think I'll

178
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: tell you. I'll tell you this bro. It comes from

179
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:14,680
Speaker 1: the same it comes from the same nutrient line. That's

180
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: that we're putting out. That's a good thing. It's good.

181
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: So Eric Singleton, you're the director of harvesting, Now explain

182
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: what that is. Are you sitting there picking tomatoes all

183
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 1: day or what's going on with you? What's your gig. Well,

184
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 1: I mean you kind of took all of those you

185
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: just described it perfectly. That's exactly what I do is

186
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: picked tomatoes. Yeah, so what I what I do for

187
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 1: Grow Generation, I'm kind of a specialist. I'm more of

188
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: a consultation for the customer. I do work for Grow Generation,

189
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: but I'm here so the customer makes the best decision

190
00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: on automating their harvesting side of their process, um making

191
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 1: sure they get the right machinery that fits their environment

192
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: and their goals. And then also you know, coaching them

193
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:56,840
Speaker 1: through that process because for a lot of people it's

194
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:58,439
Speaker 1: it's the first time they're doing it, and it's a

195
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 1: pretty scary process. To me, simple, but I've seen a

196
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 1: hundred thousand scenarios over the last five years. So my

197
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 1: experience from my past job at a rental and maintenance

198
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: facility where we're strictly rented trimmers, I got like a

199
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: huge sample test from all of my customers every day

200
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 1: returning their machines, have what went wrong, what works, what

201
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: doesn't work, and so I can pass that on to

202
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: the customer when they purchase the machines from us. So

203
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: like taking Andrew, for instance, who's a he's a commercial

204
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 1: account manager. Um, if he has a client that needs

205
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: a machine, he'll put him. That client in touch with me,

206
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: will have a diagnostic discussion, decide what's best. I'll set

207
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 1: a good price for him and then pass it back

208
00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 1: to Andrew, and then I follow up with any type

209
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: of our follow up you know, coaching and things like that.

210
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: So so you're basically the guy that's gonna hold them

211
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 1: their hand through the project. I mean, not only is

212
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: grow Generation actually selling them the product, but they're walking

213
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: them through the product hand to hand, right, and that's

214
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: your game. I'm available seven, So I might be playing

215
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: golf on a Sunday, but if you call me and say, hey,

216
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: my swister TEA four is having a belt issue, I'm

217
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: gonna get your resolution as quickly as I can. I'm

218
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 1: more of a few people that you can talk to

219
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: that knows it's either X, Y or Z are the

220
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: variables causing the issue. This is how we fix it.

221
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: And that comes up with all no matter what you're growing,

222
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: any type of whatever you're using to grow anything. Absolutely yeah,

223
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: I mean it has you know, the trimmers have you

224
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: know capabilities. I've even heard people using them and for kale.

225
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 1: Somehow they're like dicing up kale. With the machines they

226
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: can be used. I think they're originally built for hops,

227
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 1: for trimming down hops in the breweries. Himp is a huge, um,

228
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, another huge industry, and obviously we're on campus

229
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: talk one on one. I mean, it can say weeks

230
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: off your life, um, and hundreds of thousands of dollars

231
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 1: off your bottom line if you can automate your harvest efficiently.

232
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: So so how long is that that includes trimming as well? There?

233
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,079
Speaker 1: I mean is the primary mode of my job is

234
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,439
Speaker 1: the trimmers, conveyors, you know, buckers, anything that once the

235
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: plans ode of the ground. Once Andrew's done his job

236
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: coaching the client on, you know, the proper way to grow.

237
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: I coached him on the proper way to trim it

238
00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: without wasting, Like I said, tons of money and time.

239
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 1: I don't have to sit there with your gloves on

240
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: and a little shears and cut those little things. I

241
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 1: did that for a while. My kid had to grow

242
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 1: and we had a family for a few hours. Oh

243
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: my god, I got good at trim and all. I

244
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: had some good looking buds. Oh man, I slept your

245
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: work on your Mustnash and I live Triman. Yeah, I actually,

246
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, I understand that that model as well. I've

247
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 1: done a lot of trimming myself and um, you know,

248
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: not giving trim Joe. I already saw you coming at me.

249
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: I had to get myself on that one. But you know,

250
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: one of the things that you guys I I kind

251
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: of admire to Grow Generation is one is that you

252
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: guys are spreading yourself throughout the country. If I'm not mistaken,

253
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: how many stores right now are you guys currently in?

254
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: I mean, do you guys you know, operate It's hard

255
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: to keep count. Honest with you, I believe as a

256
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: nationwide I believe I believe nationwide as of this moment.

257
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 1: I want to say, thirty one is the account. And

258
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: you guys work with anybody from California to Colorado back.

259
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: What doesn't matter. Somebody can look up and you would say, Andrew,

260
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you first, give me ahold

261
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 1: of Eric and let's get this thing going. Yeah, that's

262
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: that's generally the way it works. Um. You know, commercial

263
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: inquiries they funnel into Grow Generation through a number of

264
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 1: different pipelines. Some of them come in through our website. Uh,

265
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: some of them. A lot of my business comes from

266
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: word of mouth, but we certainly have plenty of in

267
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: roads and get you to the right person depending on

268
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: what your project is, what the scope and scale of

269
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 1: it is. We have, uh we have a complete commercial

270
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,640
Speaker 1: team that also spans the entire country, and everybody kind

271
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: of has a little bit of a niche. Uh So

272
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: you know, everyone plays apart. You know, for example, I

273
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: mean Eric, Eric is undoubtedly the the trim machine uh

274
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 1: master gurup. So if I have a customer that's having

275
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 1: issues with the machine, needs a new machine, I reach

276
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,479
Speaker 1: out to him. If it's something else in another department

277
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 1: that I don't have the skill set, I've got a

278
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: number of people supporting me that have all sorts of

279
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: different skills, and I think that gives us a nice

280
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:40,280
Speaker 1: depth and breath of of of UM resources for for

281
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 1: both growers UM professional and homegrowers. Does does that? Does

282
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: that set you apart from the other hydroponic type of

283
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: stores across the country. Because I'm not familiar with I

284
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: would like to argue that yes it does. You know,

285
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: I'm familiar with certain only a handful of other entities

286
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 1: around the company around the country. Excuse me that are

287
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: competing with us UM, but I really feel like it

288
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: is our UM distribution mechanisms, are logistics, and our skilled

289
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: personnel spread out all over the country that gives us

290
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:23,320
Speaker 1: UH somewhat of an advantage over anything else that I'm

291
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 1: seeing in the industry right now. Now, I want to know,

292
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: is Eric bringing anybody else along to learn what he

293
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 1: knows with thirty one stores? Are you like the guy

294
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,120
Speaker 1: forty stores? Because I got I got a neighbor who's

295
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: a mechanic and he can put put together anything, diagnose

296
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,840
Speaker 1: any kind of issue, And you sound like that guy

297
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: with this these machines especially, so is there somebody else?

298
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: But if you go down, of course they got back up.

299
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: Let me tell you it's UM. It can be fun

300
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: because I was having this conversation with a vendor the

301
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: other day and I'm really working with the vendors now

302
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: because we have so much buying power, and you know,

303
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: we're a big fish. We know that we're there, I

304
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,639
Speaker 1: always say, with the prom queen, and we expect to

305
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: be treated as such. So the vendors have been really

306
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: compliant with you know, they want to do whatever they

307
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: can to help us be successful. So I'm working a

308
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:14,639
Speaker 1: lot more with them, whereas when I was with smaller

309
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: business it was very hands on, bloody knuckles, and COVID

310
00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: actually kind of gave a unique opportunity for me to

311
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: learn that I can. I have so much experience with

312
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: these machines that I can do most everything the way

313
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 1: we're doing this interview cool um. And you know, if

314
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: something else, if it's if it's something that just needs

315
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 1: to be fixed from the manufacturer, I just haven't warrantied.

316
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: But when I was talking to a vendor about the

317
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: other day, I was kind of explaining to him. I

318
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 1: was like, hey, man, like you know, some of your

319
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: out your reps don't seem very experience with your equipment.

320
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: And I told him it's not their fault because I

321
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: I realized unless you were me in the perfect place

322
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 1: and time running a trim or rental business, there's no

323
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: way anyone like if you were at a dispensary. I

324
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,159
Speaker 1: was talking to my director of sales by yesterday. If

325
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 1: you have the head of harvesting at the dispenser, you

326
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: might see one or two brands of a machine, or

327
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: in one model from each brand. Um. If you work

328
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: in a store, you might see a few go in

329
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: and out, but you're not running flower through them. I've

330
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 1: seen hundreds of thousands of pounds of flower ran through

331
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:17,800
Speaker 1: every major machine on the market and some of the

332
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:22,320
Speaker 1: shootier ones, and to nobody's fault other than just you know,

333
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,160
Speaker 1: good place, good timing, I'm the I mean, it's gonna

334
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: be hard to gain that kind of experience with these machines.

335
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,120
Speaker 1: I know about four people in the country that I've

336
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: I've hired in the past when I worked at other companies.

337
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: They're like the only people I could really, you know,

338
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 1: it's I know, I know this. I go out on

339
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 1: on demos with Eric frequently all the time, and I've

340
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: learned quite a bit, and there are still far more

341
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: things I don't know about these machines than I do.

342
00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: Uh so, yeah, you are. You are kind of the

343
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 1: super nichea. It's always great to have a absolutely no, yeah, totally,

344
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: especially with machine team at our company has labeled me

345
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: trim God. So how how much free we guys get?

346
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: How much we did you guys get being the trim guy?

347
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: When you're the trim God? Are you blessing everybody? Well?

348
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 1: Who gave the guy at Subway a quarter the other day?

349
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,880
Speaker 1: Because I like, if I can't every bag of weed

350
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: somebody gave me, it would literally take up the house

351
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:34,439
Speaker 1: this quarters. Can I just get a twelve foot for

352
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 1: a quarter? The funny thing, I guess. The other question

353
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: is how come I know that? Yeah, look look at me.

354
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: Come on, Andrew, I get a twelve footer. He tries

355
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: to hide behind the laptop, and it just blows basket

356
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: when you can see both sides of me past the laptop.

357
00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: It's still big. So that Bean said, you guys, you

358
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,479
Speaker 1: guys are there with the company. You guys are doing

359
00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:01,040
Speaker 1: your thing. Do you guys still have your own growth? Now?

360
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: I believe Andrew you said you don't have one currently,

361
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: But what was the biggest grow that you've dealt with

362
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: or had personally? Well? I do have a small one currently,

363
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: but to take a break this year for a bit.

364
00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Um in between in between my taking a position at

365
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,120
Speaker 1: Grudge Generation and the company that I worked for previously,

366
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: um I did operate uh um or or function as

367
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 1: a I guess you could call it a head grower

368
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: at a dispensary, not a huge one total of about

369
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty thousand watts something like that. Explain,

370
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: Explain what that is for our listeners have no idea

371
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 1: what that means. Gotta dumb it down sometimes. How many

372
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:49,400
Speaker 1: plants is that? Blah blah? Boy, that's uh, I mean

373
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: that's a that's a huge can of worms. Um. So

374
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,719
Speaker 1: when I say a hundred fifty watts, I'm talking, you know,

375
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 1: roughly a hundred fifty light fixtures, and that would include

376
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:07,200
Speaker 1: both the agitated and the flower um and uh. Depending.

377
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 1: You know, the number of plants is entirely contingent upon

378
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: your growing method. You can do the gigantic what's the

379
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: heide of low like, if you're really, really, really good

380
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 1: or do it a certain way, you can get this

381
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 1: many plants if you're not very good or or maybe

382
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 1: that's not a fact. I don't I don't know if

383
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: I look at it that way, I look at it

384
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: a little bit more like, uh, they're just being a

385
00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 1: million different ways to skin a cat. You know. It's

386
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 1: it's kind of a matter of In different states, the

387
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 1: legislation dictates whether or not you are tied to plant counts,

388
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 1: which has substantial bearing on what type of growing you're

389
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: gonna do or what style you're going to use. But

390
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, if you're on point,

391
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: you can you can put one great, big monolithic plant

392
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 1: under a single light, uh and produce the same amount

393
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: of flower that you could if you were to do

394
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 1: ah what what would be called like? Uh a sea

395
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 1: of green style hydro where you might put thirty or

396
00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: forty or even fifty. I want one of those big plants.

397
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 1: I want mother. You know, if if plant counsel I

398
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: get it, I get it. I prefer the other way

399
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: that the kind of turn and burn, clone them, rude

400
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: and flower them real quick, small small giant giants, sprawling plants.

401
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: They live. You know, you're keeping them alive much longer.

402
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,840
Speaker 1: You're spending a lot more resources on trimming, building up

403
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 1: a canopy, pruning steak and trimming all that stuff. And

404
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: then in that period of time there's always a little

405
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: bit more of a chance that you might run into

406
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: issues with pest pressures, environmental issues. You know, I agree

407
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 1: with you, Andrew, Andrew, I think that that's you know, uh,

408
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,760
Speaker 1: you know, the small, quick burning turn is just a

409
00:23:57,800 --> 00:24:01,080
Speaker 1: great way to to to operate. Um. And I think

410
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 1: you know, going into the long the you know, year

411
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: of the grow, it's usually an outdoor you know, scenario

412
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: for that instead of the indoor. Right, But you guys

413
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 1: service outdoors as well, correct, actually you know, I mean

414
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: so so as you know as things. As the legislation

415
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: started to roll out in Colorado around two thousand and ten,

416
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,720
Speaker 1: uh the it reached a point where basically the rule was,

417
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, for anybody at home, regardless of technically what

418
00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: your medical card says or your license says, you're technically

419
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I believe, only supposed to have a maximum of six

420
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 1: plants in your house. So if that's your situation, then

421
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 1: in my mind, you get you grow the gigantic plants

422
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: because you want to you want to produce the same meal. Um.

423
00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:52,200
Speaker 1: But if you're in a state like Oklahoma, which is

424
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: just literally the wild wild West right now, very very

425
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 1: inexpensive to get a commercial license, you know, a driver's license,

426
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: and I think it's commercial operator, you can have as

427
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: many plants as you want. They can be in your home,

428
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: they can be I mean, it's how you how you

429
00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: set your your grow up and the way that you

430
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 1: go with regards to that is in my mind dictated

431
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: by external forces as much as how you like to

432
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 1: do it. So if I'm someone who's never grown before

433
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: and I want to grow a couple of plants. Can

434
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: I call grow Generation and get hooked up. You can

435
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: call grow Generation. You can come on into any of

436
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: our retail stores we have. We have an excellent crew

437
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: all around the country, at the manager level, at the

438
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:47,040
Speaker 1: sales associate level. Most of the people that work in

439
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: the store environments, they're all active growers for the most part,

440
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: or at very least have been at some point in

441
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: their life. And uh a lot of them, Like I said,

442
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's kind of got their own usually niche

443
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:06,280
Speaker 1: set of skills, but generally within within any of the stores. Um,

444
00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, if you come in and say, hey, I

445
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 1: want to grow two or three plants, to do it

446
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: completely organically with sunlight, only somebody there can help you

447
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: do that. If you come in and say, hey, I

448
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: want to set up you know, a hundred lights and

449
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: the full on hydro with irrigation and uh everything automated,

450
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,480
Speaker 1: you know, the whole gambit. Really, you guys have it all,

451
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: you know. I actually took some time and and looked

452
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 1: at some of the you know, the different uh quality

453
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: products that you guys carry, you know, and um, you know,

454
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 1: from the timers to the ballast is to the I mean,

455
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,040
Speaker 1: you know, everything, you guys have what it takes to

456
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,199
Speaker 1: to be a mass operator or or put one of

457
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: those smaller you know, operators together. And and I really

458
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: appreciate that about your guys company because you know, there

459
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 1: are a lot of hydro stores that are just popping

460
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,480
Speaker 1: up that don't really have a lot of anything, and

461
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: it's very difficult, um to to operate and work out

462
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:07,359
Speaker 1: at something like that. And then again you go in

463
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: there and you talk to the guy and he seems

464
00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: like he's just ripped and he doesn't have any common

465
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 1: sense or even know yeah, you know, and he doesn't

466
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: really even know what's going on with a grow. So

467
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: when you start having those conversations and trying to get

468
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: you know, into detail with him, it's very difficult. And

469
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: you know, speaking with you guys, and I've we've been

Speaker 1: and Eric from Grow Generation Andrew, how old were you

500

Speaker 1: the first time you smoked weed? And where'd you get

501
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: it from? I'm gonna have to admit I was about

502
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: thirteen years old, and uh if I was a little

503
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 1: bit of weed out of out of his dad's out

504
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: of his dad's sack. That's always a fun time getting

505
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 1: pops his good old Mexican swag. Oh yeah, with seeds

506
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 1: and stands just packed up like a you had to

507
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: get the seeds out from an album cover. Yeah, man,

508
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 1: question number two once again, like I said, he's gonna

509
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: cut you off, he did exactly like I said he

510
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:58,560
Speaker 1: was gonna do because he doesn't pay attention. No question,

511
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: same question, do you what's cool? I I know, my buddy,

512
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 1: so yeah, I was eighteen and uh, I got it

513
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: from my friend who was like I grew up in

514
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: a pretty small country town, so he was like the

515
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: stoner And it's actually kind of a funny story. Um,

516
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:17,320
Speaker 1: my neighbor was walking by right now, so my Belgian

517
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: monvel on Mike Go Crazy. We got we went to

518
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:22,360
Speaker 1: our friend's house in the Mill Hill, which is just

519
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,560
Speaker 1: like a little mill village, and for some reason we

520
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 1: thought it would be a good idea to drive like

521
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:29,080
Speaker 1: two yards down the road instead of just smoking at

522
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: the house. And I was super paranoid, and so we

523
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: smoked it down by the river, like good South Carolina

524
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 1: kids due And I was so high that And now

525
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 1: I I love leading. It's I required for all functioning,

526
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:44,320
Speaker 1: and I think it makes me a better person. But

527
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: at the time it shut me down, and I thought

528
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: it was a better idea to drive back to the

529
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: house with my lights off on the car so nobody

530
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: would see this, because nobody they're gonna know we're high

531
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: if the lights are close your eyes. And then I

532
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: got home and you know, there's like sticks up to

533
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: this at the house and we don't want a pizza,

534
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: and I don't get some pizza in there. I look down,

535
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,320
Speaker 1: you have pizza cruss in my hand. So I'm a

536
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 1: bit and I'd go back and say what happened? And

537
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 1: then like after like I guess an hour, I looked

538
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 1: everybody's like, who ain't all the fucking pizza and like

539
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 1: you did, dude, I was just time warping through that

540
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: pizza like I would just look down like, oh, there's

541
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: only crust. I've done that many times now, Craig, You're ready.

00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: school boys, I'm I'm I'm not a huge extract guy.

545
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:51,680

546
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: torches and elaborate smoking vehicles thing like that. I guess

547
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,880

581
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:21,799
Speaker 1: of the more here's one of the more humorous ones.

582
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: When I was like fourteen years old, I was hanging

583
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:27,280
Speaker 1: out like a mall rat with my with my buddies

584
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 1: at the mall. Uh um, sitting outside smoking a joint

585
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 1: behind some kind of a generator or in a ceu

586
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,240
Speaker 1: and it or something that had this kind of brick

587
00:34:38,280 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: wall that went around it so you can slipped behind it.

588
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: And uh, we're back there smoking a joint. It's just

589
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: like a Friday afternoon. And all of a sudden we

590
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:54,480
Speaker 1: got swarmed by the mall's security guard. They had caught

591
00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 1: onto us, and they took us and they dragged us

592
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: up to this little tiny room and called the police

593
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,319
Speaker 1: east and all that good jazz, and uh. They kept

594
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: telling me like, you know, you gotta go, you gotta

595
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: get ahold of your parents, come down here and take

596
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 1: care of your pick you up or whatever. And I

597
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,959
Speaker 1: couldn't get ahold of I couldn't get ahold of either one.

598
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: And so the top the clock is ticking and finally

599
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: the guy reaches the point where he's like, dude, you

600
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: got five minutes to get ahold of somebody to come

601
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: pick your ass up, otherwise you're gonna go spend the

602
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:29,440
Speaker 1: weekend u uh at Juvie hall up and uh, I

603
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: forget what city it's in these days, but uh so

604
00:35:33,160 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: I had to. I had to reach out to uh

605
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 1: one of my best friends and uh and ask his

606
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: dad to come and rescue me from the mall, which

607
00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 1: which which he did and picked me up and didn't

608
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: ask a single question all the way home, which was beautiful,

609
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:58,319
Speaker 1: and I was. I was definitely scared shitless that all

610
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:02,120
Speaker 1: sorts of you know, it was in deep ship and

611
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: kind of kept it on the down load. He didn't

612
00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 1: he didn't tell your parents, didn't didn't didn't tell the

613
00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: mom right away. Um, And a couple of weeks later,

614
00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:19,680
Speaker 1: I got a letter from city and County of Arapaho,

615
00:36:19,800 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: I believe here in Denver that said, we're issuing you

616
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 1: a deferred sentence. Just don't get in trouble for a

617
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 1: year and uh we'll let it go. Just to slip

618
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,759
Speaker 1: by on that one. It turned out to be a

619
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: you got the letter, you got the letter, You found

620
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:38,800
Speaker 1: the letter of your parents? Did no? I I found

621
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:45,799
Speaker 1: the letter? You got seven everywhere? Dude, you he said,

622
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: probably Eric, Eric, question number three of the high five

623
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: craziest place you've ever used cannabis or smoked it? Well

624
00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 1: before I was the grow generation trim god, I spent

625
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,359
Speaker 1: most of my free time rock climbing, so I'd say

626
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:04,240
Speaker 1: they're probably the coolest place I've ever smoked a bowl.

627
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 1: We climbed the Red Dihesil Route on the incredible Hulk

628
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 1: in this here in Nevada's which summits at like thirteen thousand,

629
00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 1: seven hundred I think, And we we took a really

630
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 1: lazy start to the morning because we were smoking weed

631
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 1: and it was you know, we were you climbed to that, yeah,

632
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 1: and uh, we got up to the summit like right

633
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 1: as the sun was setting over here in Nevada, so

634
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,319
Speaker 1: it was gorgeous. But then we had, like, you know,

635
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: we had a two and a half hour repel back

636
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:37,440
Speaker 1: to camp. So we lit up a bowl, and I'd

637
00:37:37,480 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: have to say that was probably like the coolest place

638
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: I've ever smoked a ball. Pretty then you repelled down

639
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: how far it was about twelve feet of repelling and

640
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,719
Speaker 1: then um, like scrambling down another thousand feet of like

641
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 1: a big boulder field screening. Alright, guys, and you did

642
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: that high? Did that? I just want to make that clear.

643
00:37:58,160 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: Let me tell you. I just want to make that

644
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: I was actually Let me say an let me say

645
00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 1: let me say it, let me say it this one,

646
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: this way. He did it after smoking a bowl. That

647
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're quote unquote high. Yes, I'll say this

648
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: to all the viewers out therapy. Anybody has any um. Now,

649
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 1: marijuana affects everybody differently, But for me, I've always considered

650
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,480
Speaker 1: the performance and hancy drug. Um. If I had a

651
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: really hard climb that I had to get really like

652
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:30,279
Speaker 1: you know, zen about that, I'd smoke a ball of

653
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 1: courage and the difference between me climbing with weed and

654
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 1: without weed. With weed, I looked like a strong climber.

655
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 1: And look I knew I was doing with weed. It

656
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 1: was a work of art. There you go. It's a

657
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: good explanation. Alright, guys. Question number four of the Cannabis

658
00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 1: Talk one on one High five with Andrew and Eric

659
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 1: of Grow Generation, what is your go to Munchie's when

660
00:38:53,800 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 1: you get high? Anything? And I mean, you know what funny.

661
00:39:03,320 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 1: But the pizza. I'm sure it was the best pizza

662
00:39:07,480 --> 00:39:12,040
Speaker 1: he ever ate. You know these days, I'll tell you what.

663
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: I used to be just like Eric and would smoke

664
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: all day long, every day, no matter whether it was

665
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: at work, at college, at anything. And as I've gotten

666
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 1: a little bit older, I find that in certain situations

667
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:29,319
Speaker 1: it does give me a little bit of anxiety, but

668
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,680
Speaker 1: so I mostly kind of usually do it in the

669
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:38,160
Speaker 1: evenings and whatnot, or socially or whatever. But you know,

670
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 1: I guess if I had to say one thing, it

671
00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: would probably be some barbecue nice all that ship. Yeah, Eric,

672
00:39:57,200 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 1: I mean tie. It depends on a newdle man. It's

673
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 1: either a little Caesars like hot and ready, Pepperoni pizza,

674
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: pola fretty, pebbles many pebble at the bottom. It's like

675
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 1: this perfect sugary. Yes, it is question number five with

676
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:16,120

00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 1: with you? Andrew uh, David Gilmore hands down white? And

679
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: who's gonna make me familiar? Because David Gilmore is not.

680
00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: David Gilmore was the lead guitar Pink Floyd and Uh.

681
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 1: Was was just kind of an idol of mine all

682
00:40:43,880 --> 00:40:47,960
Speaker 1: all throughout my life. And the uh somebody that I

Speaker 1: cars right behind you. Do you have one of him?

687
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:01,360

689
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:08,440

690
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: tremendously and a lot of their early stuff that was

691
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:15,120
Speaker 1: really spacey and was was basically, you know, uh, four

692
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 1: guys tripping and smoking a lot of weed and improvising. Uh.

693
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,759
Speaker 1: I grew up on that stuff. And uh, he's he's

694
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:28,240
Speaker 1: sort of almost like a father figure to me. That's awesome.

695
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: What about you, Eric, I thought about it alone a

696
00:41:31,640 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 1: long time. I was gonna say Nikolai Tesla, just because

697
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:35,879
Speaker 1: I think that'd be a pretty interesting person to talk

698
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: to you. But honestly, and he smokes Bobby Jones. I

00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:31,840
Speaker 1: the Smoker by Capeman Golf, the smoke like trade shows

730
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,839
Speaker 1: It's actually you're right, it's really an unbelievable putter head

731
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 1: that they use wood and it's phenomenal. I mean this,

732
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:44,000
Speaker 1: this putter is not just like a novel. You're gonna

733
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: start selling him at girls Generation. Those are hot. How

734
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:51,400
Speaker 1: many how many strokes does it take off your game?

735
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 1: I would say six. It depends on his foot wedge exactly. Yeah.

736
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:59,919
Speaker 1: I'm like, there's my balls right next to the whole. Well.

737
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 1: That's the high five guys. Before we get going with you,

738
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,279
Speaker 1: I want to ask you guys a couple more random questions, like,

739
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:06,839
Speaker 1: if you get to explain to the listeners that are

740
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: growing out there and doing their things, what are some

741
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: of the biggest problems that you see that people come

742
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: across that are just like one of those dude, most

743
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 1: people f up on this stage and just be aware

744
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 1: of this because I've seen it more times than not.

745
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,879
Speaker 1: Eric has his hand up like he knows exactly what

746
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,960
Speaker 1: he wants to say. So Eric, please describe a scenario

747
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,520
Speaker 1: to help the listeners out. UM. I guess the best

748
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 1: analogy I could give would be what I see the

749
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,920
Speaker 1: most from my as the director of Harvesting, and it's

750
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: a theme every year and I'm trying my best to

751
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: educate people, especially with the content platform Grow Generation as

752
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: we can. Um, what I see is the equivalent that

753
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 1: if Nike was going to launch a new air Force

754
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:49,719
Speaker 1: one and then on Christmas Day when the shoe is

755
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:52,480
Speaker 1: supposed to hit the stores, they're like, so we need

756
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 1: to pick out which machine we're gonna buy to build

757
00:44:54,680 --> 00:44:58,520
Speaker 1: this shoe. So I have clients that put plants in

758
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,919
Speaker 1: the ground six seven months ago, and then the day

759
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 1: of harvest or the day before harvest, they call me

760
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: and they're like, I need a machine. Which one should

761
00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 1: I get. I'm like, you should have called me a

762
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: month ago. Why are you thinking about that? Because I mean,

763
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:11,360
Speaker 1: you can grow the best weed in the world, but

764
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: if you can't get it down and get into the

765
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,239
Speaker 1: retail store. It's useless. Um, So I see. I mean,

766
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: the biggest mistake I see, at least especially in harvest

767
00:45:18,680 --> 00:45:21,240
Speaker 1: seas and planning kind of across the board is people

768
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 1: not planning ahead. And I say the Canada's industry as

769
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 1: a whole as we grow, because it's the only one

770
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:29,560
Speaker 1: of the only markets I know of that went from

771
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: a black market to a you know, grain market. Um,

772
00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:35,360
Speaker 1: there's a lot of old habits and you definitely have

773
00:45:35,440 --> 00:45:37,879
Speaker 1: to look at this industry if you're getting into business

774
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,480
Speaker 1: as a business like there has to be like if

775
00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:43,160
Speaker 1: you look at Grow Generation. We have amazing leaders, we

776
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 1: have amazing infrastructure, we have strategy CFOs, we have daily meetings,

777
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 1: daily calls because it's a business so real conficient. Yeah,

778
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: you know, I think one of the important things that

779
00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:57,960
Speaker 1: you said is is you know, we have meetings every day,

780
00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:00,680
Speaker 1: we have you know, everybody cares, you know, and and

781
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it sounds like to me, you

782
00:46:03,160 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: guys are a big, happy family that are kicking butt,

783
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,839
Speaker 1: you know, and and you can't you can't go wrong

784
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:10,239
Speaker 1: with that. So I think you guys continue to give,

785
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: you know, create that good fight. And one of the

786
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:15,200
Speaker 1: things that I think that you guys come off to

787
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:18,200
Speaker 1: me personally as is just humble people. And that's what

788
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: you really want to deal with in this industry. I

789
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:23,400
Speaker 1: think our our industry comes from a compassionate place. You know,

790
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:26,040
Speaker 1: any kind of grower, not just cannabis. I'm talking about

791
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: any freaking grower out there. They're very humble people, you know.

792
00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: They they they're they're sitting there growing and sometimes time

793
00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to a lot of them. That's why they're

794
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: probably they're planning, isn't is uh is on point, you know,

795
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 1: but but having that ability to to vibe with those

796
00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: kind of people and and you guys come off to

797
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 1: me as those people. So I feel good about that. Man,

798
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: Thank you guys for being that kind of a a

799
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:50,680
Speaker 1: company and uh and person. Yeah, Andrew, do you have

800
00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: any advice for the the average grower out there that's

801
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: sitting there going what's what's gonna be my downfall? Potentially? Yeah?

802
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: And again I would say this is a question that

803
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,840
Speaker 1: would be answered very differently depending on who I'm talking to.

804
00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: If it's a personal home grow versus a commercial op Uh,

805
00:47:09,920 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: I definitely will agree with Eric. It is amazing how

806
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 1: many people can put a ton of resources and energy

807
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:21,279
Speaker 1: into bringing a crop to fruition only to cut it

808
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:26,680
Speaker 1: down and go, Okay, now that's a that's what do

809
00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:29,560
Speaker 1: we do with all this now? And it really is

810
00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,440
Speaker 1: mynd and really you can ruin it right at the end.

811
00:47:32,520 --> 00:47:35,800
Speaker 1: They don't deserve to see. That blows my mind that

812
00:47:35,920 --> 00:47:37,680
Speaker 1: that's like a big deal of like for you Eric

813
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: to raise your handling. Dude, I've seen this more times

814
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 1: than not. You're like, what do you mean? You've been

815
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 1: growing for or and you spend how much money and

816
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:50,240
Speaker 1: time if you're in the regulated market. I mean in California,

817
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:53,720
Speaker 1: it's absolutely ludicrous what it costs to set up a

818
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 1: legal cultivation. And to not think that through, someone needs

819
00:47:59,239 --> 00:48:02,399
Speaker 1: to be fired. I had a gentleman come in. Um

820
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 1: you could tell that there was the landowner and then

821
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: there was the younger guy that talked him into growing him.

822
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:09,120
Speaker 1: And they came into my store looking for a trimmer.

823
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 1: This is when I was reading them, and um, they

824
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: brought an entire plane in of not very good at

825
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:16,759
Speaker 1: him and he was asking me, you know, how to

826
00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:18,400
Speaker 1: strip it? And I was like, honestly, man, for this,

827
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,840
Speaker 1: just you know, take your hand and just run it

828
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:21,839
Speaker 1: down the branches with a leather glove on. And so

829
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 1: we're sitting there was probably I don't know a pound

830
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: of like him playing in the floor of my shop.

831
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:29,840
Speaker 1: And the gentleman that has you know, d two hundred

832
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 1: acres invested in this and goes okay, So like, what

833
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,880
Speaker 1: do we do with that? Like do we sell that

834
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: to people? Or should have just looked at him? Because

835
00:48:38,080 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: it reset my brain. I was like, you should have

836
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:47,880
Speaker 1: thought about that before you planted two plans. Yeah, you know.

837
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: If there's one other thing I would add to that,

838
00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:54,920
Speaker 1: it would be um. I see a lot of people um,

839
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 1: particularly because this is an industry that did emerge out

840
00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: of black Mark it and a lot of the people

841
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 1: that work in it these days, our basement growers that

842
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 1: have come out of the basement UM. And as they

843
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:14,200
Speaker 1: scale things up, pest pressures, environmental controls, making sure that

844
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: things are watered properly and evenly, and you know, nutrients

845
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 1: are delivered effectively. Those all exponentially, Those are all problems

846
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 1: that exponentially increase as you scale things up. It's you know,

847
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:30,879
Speaker 1: it's it's it's relatively relatively easy and doable to get

848
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 1: somebody to fire up eight lights in their basement and

849
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 1: uh and pull fifteen pounds of some awesome weed. It's

850
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: another thing to get somebody to do that same thing

851
00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:46,120
Speaker 1: on the you know grand scale about thousand thousand light scale,

852
00:49:46,320 --> 00:49:50,440
Speaker 1: or you know, multiple giant greenhouses or whatever the case

853
00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 1: may be. So it's all the little problems they just

854
00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 1: think just get exponentially bigger as you scale things up. Well,

855
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: we want to thank you guys Andrew and Eric for
