Just have to avoid pythium George.
Interested in what you consider a small batch is, and your explanation on why there is more control versus a larger batch?
Broken Coast/Greenleaf Medicinals total redemption

How many years of hydroponic growing have you done personally?
Never mind... reading again what I just did answers my question.

We will have to wait and see how the court case pans out, but theres a pretty good chance the MMAR injunction will end with the right to grow your own medication being re-instated. (yay!)Hick ups?
The system is far worse for patients! 100% end of story.
Now, for Rec smokers???
It's WFO!!!!
Oh yes..that's right..this is the medical section...
cheers big ears!!
For the people that cant grow them selves there are the Grey-market Dispensaries, White market LPs and Black Market dealers all of which are still (quite) accessible.
In terms of the cost, yes it is prohibitive for a lot of low income patients. Broken Coast is rolling out compassionate pricing in the near future to ensure that those with a legit need for herb aren't being erroneously precluded. But in terms of quality control, I'd wager a joint that you've never had your home grown weed tested for heavy metals, mold spores or microbial counts (which are required before LP product is shipped to a patient)
This testing is not so important for the recreational user, but for individuals with compromised immune systems its crucial. HIV patients in particular are quite susceptible to opportunistic infections that would otherwise be benign bacteria in a healthy individual.

testing is important for everyone, they are indeed paying high price for commercially grown shwag.
Using the guise as medical only makes me laugh.... so please... spare me the trivia...

fair enough, i suppose it is a relative measure haha.
Broken Coast has a couple hundred plants in each grow room.
It's my understanding that the "big batches" a'la tilray/tweed have a couple THOUSAND plants per grow room (mind you I don't work there so I could be wrong, anyone from tweed or tilray wanna chime in on this?)
anyways...
It's easier to identify specific issues with specific plants when you're dealing with fewer of them to begin with. In short, smaller batches allows us better quality control in the growth stage so we don't have to irradiate/mill our bud in the curing stage.

LP's can only provide bud to those with a medical need unfortunately.
My personal belief is that this will change to include recreational users in due time.

Iv only grown in soil, and I have had problems with pests. Luckily Broken Coast isnt trusting me with the plants yet hahaHow many years of hydroponic growing have you done personally?

Hi BcBreeder
The certified "no irradiation" guarantee from our CEO is a pretty good idea. Seems like a lot of people are hung up on that particular aspect.
Might have an answer for you later today

Props on answering questions from real patients and actually responding appropriately. Other LP's on here just seem to catch an attitude, throw a tantrum and we never hear from them again.Hi BcBreeder

I'll ask our head grower for you, I honestly don't know if our nutrient feeds qualify for an organic certification.

If you wouldn't mind asking him how much of a concern pythium is or isn't, and how to combat it if it sets in.
Thanks, really appreciate the dialogue.

haha well I'm not here to throw a fit.
Also if anyone wants to look me up on facebook to chat about growing, feel free. (George Anstey on FB too)

Just asked our head grower about the nutrients and the pythium concern...
Our nutrient feeds don't qualify as organic, but apparently getting the organic certification is no easy feat either.

And it seems that pythium is essentially a non-issue in our grow rooms because the environment is kept sterile throughout the plants life cycle.

you're a decent guy George. i am taken back that someone from a LP would take the time to answer the questions. Good on ya!
thank you and if i ever need to use an LP, i will consider your place first but i really hope to never need your services...unless the prices were a lot better

$6.25 a gram for our Purple Kush. (plus a good chance of swinging a discount if you can talk to "John" about compassionate pricing)
but yeah thats still no price comparison if you are fortunate enough to be growing for your self at $2-$3 a gram
Thanks for the kind words tho! I do appreciate it
