A quick rebrand to Forty-45 and move our dispensary license over. Its on the main road opposite our street. The one in the background I tried to rent last year. Twice. Lady said “no no my family are going to do a coffee hut” Course they are lady. Course they are.

They want $150 a month but reckon $120 is market. Just open a few hours a day. Stick a phone number on there and if its not staffed they can come the 100 yards up to the house. Advertising as much as anything else. And we gonna sell so so cheap compared to everyone else. $3-5 a gram. Everyone else is $15 and barely sell anything.
 
:goodluck: with the new venture! I really hope they keep it legal in your neck of the woods. 🤞
 
There was an article yesterday I think. I’ll hunt it out. Basically our old friend Anutin, like the Thai Matt Hancock, Minister for Covid really doesn’t want it banned. I’ve seen his farm 🤣

He made the point all of us growers and shop owners been making - what about our compensation? We entered the industry in good faith. Now you want to take it away? It’ll stay legal or they’ll have to compensate us I think. I’m relaxed about it. Just sold another 20g we’ll have done something close to 10oz - 280g this week just on word of mouth. We have a shop front on a busy road.

“$3/g INDOOR HYDRO RAWAI GROWN TOP INTERNATIONAL STRAINS”

Think we’ll crush. We can probably get to 2-3kg p/m supply optimised. Its only doubling our current sales which with the shop/advertising spot isn’t much of a stretch.
 
Wonderful news Nick & Co! Congratulations on expanding your enterprise :love: The hut is very sweet and I hope it brings you much prosperity.

These are 8 Permanent Marker from Blimburn. Got another couple downstairs in 3 gallon pots.


Indicated at 32-34% THC

Its the lowest rated THC strain in that room. Imperium X is 35% and Future #1 37% both Anesia Seeds.

Yup. Thanks, pretty plant. I have some Future #1 photo seeds on the way.

I’m not really from Missouri but I’m sorry you would have to show me. As in being Thc % analyzed. CL🍀

Yeah CL, when will someone come out with a reliable home test kit that doesn’t cost $300?
 
NickHardy said:
I’ll be surprised they test over 25% The highest I’ve seen her that I know has been tested is 23% Its really rare in the 30s. The whole state of California has only ever had one test of 36% last I heard. Most stores here just put the breeder number on, no tests.

Think we’re going to sign a lease on a shop/hut next week and have our own dispensary. Probably - if you can’t beat them join them!

I’ll post some pictures of the hut in a moment

420FastBuds has several auto strains resting in the high 20’s that they provide the test results for in the strain description. I have to disagree with you. I have plenty of weed that would easily test 25%+.

Everyone has weed they say is easily in the high twenties for THC. And then they get it tested.

Gemmacert only goes to 30%, they run a lot of full spectrometer tests to calibrate off. They say they haven’t ever had enough 30%+ samples to calibrate. Having run 10s of thousands of tests they say the vast majority of weed in is the late teens, anything over 25% vanishingly rare.

So then every single dispensary that sells weed in little plastic tins, and right on the label is the strain, the thc, the cbd, etc., often over 28%, they’re all lying?

That’s like believing that every single person who ever said they were taken by aliens is lying. Every one of the 100s of 1000s. All of them. Lying. It’s impossible.

And if you do believe that, why are you growing a room of plants that are all supposed to prove you wrong?
 
I’m expecting 25-27%. And these will be hand wet plucked in situ and full hung in place with top cola tips reserved for testing and extra special care and handling.

All the certs dispensaries get say that one bit of one plant in an entire run tested at that. Likely gets a little extra attention through its life. They’re not testing every plant. One certificate is probably good for 100+ plants.

Plus it will depend on your state law what they need to report. The same as the FDA type testing or some other number?

For me its just commercial thinking. I’ve had Imperium X and Permanent Marker. Both really small buds but that grower ain’t great. I seemed to teach him a whole lot - man grows small buds 🤣 They were similar in that tou could feel tou were high. But it was just so clear it was a bit boring. Emotionless high for me which I found quite boring. But we have plenty more way stronger than that. And they probably have an average of 17-19% total cannabinoids from testing. And they get the Terp King very high. Our 5% CBD 4% THC is shifting with the Russian store we sell too. They reckon its way higher.

There’s a great looking testing lab in Fl does terpenes and stuff as well. I’ll hunt it out for you.

Not necessarily the dispensaries, but some of those numbers have been checked.
