I agree..the other day I picked up a 1/2 oz...every EVERY fucking bud big or small..had a fucking holding handle..WTF ! $175 WTF..shit also tasted chemical WTF ! When I trim my plants..I trim off UNsmokeable bullshit...can't fuckin wait 3 and 1/2 weeks....mmmmm organicsJust like the dispensaries and compassion clubs..
I've seen some dank at a handful of places in town actually. Never been to Greenthumb. Harvest in tempe has a good strain or two, Organica up in Chino had some bomb herb. Phoenix Relief on the West Side had some bomb stuff and grower is owner. Bloom on 44th has had a couple from time to time that looked decent, they have a massive grow team. Green Halo in Tucson has a couple of fantastic caregivers that provide theirs and about 2-3 of the strains are top shelf, the rest not so much.Theres a couple good clubs in Phoenix that serve fire I was really impressed with that Green Thumb Academy but thats it. If you been around long enough you always know a dude or two with top shelf dank.
I agree with you for the most part. Hell, there's even some outdoor cali at the markets. Look out for Headtreep, Baked Potato(sometimes), and some guy who has some frosty Tahoe.(they wear green shirts and dude has a good man beard growing). Other than that, it is flooded with shit.I walked around the tables and nobody had any dank. Tons of indoor bud that didn't look any better than the outdoor I get.

Its River Rock, not Rock River. Great meds, great folks, I have 2 family members that have been working there since they started. The best they have is the Rare Dankness IMO. Bring back some of those genetics with you and maybe we will eventually be friends.No organic tops at any dispensary locations that I have experienced, maybe they exist in Chino.
Have not been to them all, definately some good bag appeal now and again but synthetic seems to be to norm after sampling.
Interested to check out a few more when back in the heat.
Up here in CO, the natural medicine completely dominates the patient market, check my folks at rockriver .
SCM in Santa Cruz calls hydro bud "drugs" and dirt derived product "medicine".. (Not my words whatsoever, call them up yourself)
The organic concept is too new to the desert, it's about stocking the shelves, eventually the niche will be filled by someone for sure.
Seems when everyone is told hydro, synthetic, hydro, synthetic, over and over again they don't think twice about other methods or simply assume that since no other techniques are being pushed hard like hydro they are not worthwhile. Gotta ask those pushers if they have ever produced using another method.?.?
The saying goes just because everyone is doing it doesn't make it right but on the same token if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Regardless of production method and sometimes quality, there will be a patient market for the product.
Right now the mindset is to get the business up and running and traffic through the door, med consideration is not a top concern for some.
I agree with this.. You have to be a decent grower or be very knowledgable weed head to know that Organic is just the best way to grow your meds, hell its the best way to grow fruits and vegetables. It's finally catching on because a lot of the grow stores here are carrying more and more organic stuff.No organic tops at any dispensary locations that I have experienced, maybe they exist in Chino.

Talk to hydro growersI have to disagree. You do not have to a good or knowledgeable to know organic is better for you.
My people only get organic. It may not be the flash strains. And only had one complaint....a bud from my seed crop slid thru QC....Explained they were intentional and I would trade back weight:weight. But they declined.
I cant argue with that. I dunno I grew hydro for many years its the first way I learned to grow anything. I got pretty good at it too, I dunno I just feel like you get a better taste and more resinous bud, Either way works as long as your end product is good I know I would never turn down good bud, organic or hydro shit as long as its top shelf its all good.I am a hydro grower.
Tastes Great! or Less Filling! argument all day long.
I will never agree to a blanket statement. It's like saying only hippies grow good weed.
I grow good weed. I grow organic or synthetic, it's all good. One isn't better than the other imho.
The end product is all that matters and I do agree that 95% of hydro growers don't know how to finish their product.
Pardon the dyslexia.. RR has a great mentality and SR/RD is all about the organic movement with great crosses. Recently extracting in the Rockies, hopefully AZ dispensaries can jump on board with that, seriously huge market. If you know some folks a mile high + we must run is some similar circles, crazy to think, curios to know who they are as we may have crossed paths. My bruv is heavily invested in that scene, glad to have those connections/experiences. The quality gear is here, has been and is continuously appearing, not necessarily solely RD but serious elites non the less. Some good, not so mainstream folks out here working with true dank .Its River Rock, not Rock River. Great meds, great folks, I have 2 family members that have been working there since they started.
