Hydrone 5

Piece of junk. How can you call this a dehumidifier? Hardly lowers humidity and should be called a mini heater. All your other products are awesome but please this is crap. A dirt cheap dehumidifier that cost $155 in Australia does a better job. Come on Acinfinity you can do better than this

Crap Genetics, Worse Customer Service

I’m a licensed cultivator in Vermont, and have about 10 years of cannabis and professional ornamental work experience. last year I bought around $1300 worth of seeds from RQS for my outdoor grow last year; that’s a whole other story. with my purchase I was gifted 40 seeds of OG Kush that I saved for this years crop. 4/40 seeds popped… that’s well below what any reputable seed breeder or bank would guarantee. I reached out hoping to get a credit or replacement on some of the seeds. RQS sends me an email saying that they will try to rectify the situation and to send a picture of the failure to germinate. when I do what they ask, 2 days later they email me back and say that they have. a 3 month guarantee bc seeds are highly perishable, so they’ll give me 15% off my next order.

I am flabbergasted that any seed breeder or bank won’t stand behind their seeds. 1 year of holding seeds in their original packaging, in a dry dark environment, has been the standard in keeping seeds for a long time, years even. offering 15% off 40 seeds is laughable. I understand they were “free gifts with purchase” but why give them away if you don’t stand behind your products? I will not be using any of their seeds nor using their seed bank again. I hope enough people boycott in the future to get places like this shit down. selling seeds to licensed cultivators and then not backing your products is ludicrous.

4/40 germinated

Feel free to use that 15% code, I’m never ordering from them again

Successful Operator transition to Vendor Technical Advisor/ Account Manager experiences?

For those of you who have moved from being a facility operator into a Technical Advisor or Technical Account Manager role for a vendor in the industry, do you like the change and prefer it?

I’m curious about that transition as someone currently running a few facilities. Whenever vendors come onsite, a lot of them seem relieved they’re no longer dealing with the day to day operational side of this anymore. From my experience, many of the best advisors I’ve met were previously good operators who transitioned into that role after being poached by the vendor.

I’d be interested to hear from people who have actually made the switch. Do you prefer being on the vendor/advisory side, or are you mostly waiting for the right opportunity to jump back into facility/farm operations again?

If you don’t mind sharing, what were the biggest pros and cons of making the move?

WTF. PSA states making remediation easier and cheaper upfront for operators 🙄🖕

Well this was their response to me blowing up the states rampant remediation issue I guess haha.

I try to let the public know that remediation is happening RAMPANT to the point where even as the owner, I didn’t realize it’s happening with many brands remediating EVERYTHING before testing. And I know I still don’t know the full story either about who’s doing it because you only know what you’re told and see

Again it’s up for you to decide if that’s something you want to smoke or not, that’s why I think Maine had it right requiring the labeling of remediated/treated cannabis flower… but they’re not enforcing it officially now

Now this is the latest from the state, they’re allowing transfer for remediation excise tax free (making the transfer to the remediation not the trigger point for the payment of excise tax). This will directly lose money for the state since what you start with is less than you actually package (letting boof pushers save more money and pay less excise tax since what they send over vs what they package in 1/8ths is less)

Basically excise tax is $223/lb now. We normally have to pay when we transfer it out of the grow, either selling it to a store or sending it to a manufacturing license (where they also can remediate)

Ultimately that pushes the tax burden on everyone else when the states bitching next session they need more money so they raise the sales/excise tax again. It’s all trickle down, and this DIRECTLY impacts the excise tax income for the state

This also greatly complicates the excise tax system in general for the state. It should be black and white, what’s transferred out in METRC is what excise tax is owed on. That is not the case anymore with this new tax rule made for the bros that probably don’t even smoke what they grow… clue #1 it’s fucked

‘Let’s make it even easier and more profitable for them to sell shit weed Brad’

But really wtf, yeah I’ll be the first to say weed never killed anyone but does anyone really know what’s happening long term? I’m not even talking the remediation used necessarily, but what about the chemical changes from zapping the mold dead, or ingesting higher than normal levels since the original levels were off the charts knowing they’d remediate anyways

I hear of the scromiting thing and think wtf this is like the old propaganda… then it’s like wait, is it possible there’s something to it… is there any possible connection to remediation?

Growers pack the plants in the room way too tight, no proper airflow, lots of micro climates with high humidity from pockets of dense leaves. Microbial counts THROUGH THE ROOF, putting in way more plants than the hvac can Handel. But hey if you’re gonna remediate everything you’re better off growing 2x the weight selling $25 eighths retail vs $35 eighths retail

100 eighths at $25 = $2,500
50 eighths at $35 = $1,750

So you can see it’s less profitable to grow cannabis correctly if it means sacrificing yields… AND the market wants the cheapest product when not informed, so not only are you running a better business model, but you’re going to sell through quicker.

I can tell you, I could double my yields with less manual labor if I wanted to be a dirtbag and remediate everything, but I take pride in what I do and the weed I grow is for myself, the community, my friends and my family

It’s fucked, And fuck OCP for not enforcing the rule to require remediated flower be labeled as such. Even in 6 point font?!? Haha “na 6 point is too much Chad, we need zero point font here”… It’s so safe we’d rather the public didn’t even know it’s happening, because people are not capable of making the correct choice, the choice we want them to make… So better if we make it for them to avoid them having free will

And yeah I don’t think weed has killed anyone but again look it up and do your own research. Mycotoxins, chance for respiratory irritation (I know you’re smoking anyways so again ask yourself do you care), and the unknown, the one lesson we have learned over the many years of health… we don’t know what we don’t know (think things that get banned when they find out the health risks)

I’ve got a store inspection coming up with the state, it should be too soon for them to retaliate and not make it seem like it’s retaliation… I give it 6 months till they start busting my balls haha🖕🖕🖕

Anyone who’s saying this is ok to remediate flower should be focusing on growing a clean product and how they can do better. Fuck em. If they’re not telling you they’re not treating/remediating it, they probably are.

Ask the grower themselves because the budtender only knows what they are told, and sometimes that’s true for the owners of the dispensaries selling the product too.

Oh yeah, for all the bros making the milk pasteurization claim… Check your milk. It’s a statement they put on the label, crazy idea… To inform the consumer… Why do you want to hide this if it’s nbd?!
