Cultivation Equipment Supply

Hey hopefully not breaking the rules on here this is for everyone’s benefit.

I just started doing sales for a cannabis equipment supply company. They’ve worked with some of the biggest brands as well as local grows out in California where we are based. Really not trying to mess this up😭 so I’m down to hook anyone up & if you need any specific brand let me know. These are the most popular brands from what I’ve seen with most orders:

Lighting: Gavita, Fohse, Flexstar, Growers Choice

HVAC: Daikin, Lennox, Trane

Dehumidifiers: Quest and Anden

Also we have Irrigation, R.O Systems, Benching / Tables Wall panels

There are just the most popular but our warehouse is fully stocked and we have access to pretty much all major brands feel free to inquire.

Our pricing is A1 and we can beat any other quotes if necessary. I.e: Gavita 1900 in the mid $500s per light.

On top of that if you are already purchasing, we can beat out any quote.

Those who know people looking to purchase we offer some pretty fair referral commissions

Uniformity as a main talking point

I don’t know if I am asking this in the right spot (but please point me in the right direction if this belongs somewhere else).

I’ve been living in Portugal where many for a long time thought would be the new Mecca to grow trees in Europe.

Because of my background I ended up in a crowd of a lot of people that are involved in some of the companies that set up shop in Portugal.

There is a shipload of things that make absolutely no sense to me in some of their business choices but, I genuinely feel too dumb to ask at times.

There is one thing that absolutely everyone complains about which is how to insure uniformity of production.

Most of these places have their product end up as biomass so I legit have no idea why uniformity is so critical.

From what I remember about industrial extraction processes in the end as long as you don’t have to work too hard to concentrate the product you are kinda ok.

I mean, snoop dog supposedly put a few million in one of the indoor grow ops here 4 years ago and they’ve never produced anything.

So what is up?

Do you guys see a drop off in quality with so many plants?

I was just curious as a small grower if you guys do. I’m guessing (but no clue) that most of you started small and have grown. Was there a point where you had more plants then you could give enough care to each one individually the quality went down? Was it after 100 plants? 500? Or have you not had a problem with it? I am not a good grower by any means, I have a 5x5 tent and I think I could run two of them before it become too much for me. Just was curious. Please don’t bash me lol

Grow room floor (epoxy/drains)

We are prepping for concrete this week for a new flower room. It's 45x15, and I'm thinking through drains and floor finish.

3 x 4' wide rolling benches.

Epoxy- once the concrete is dome, thinking about using a commercial grade white gloss Epoxy finish that's uv resistant and anti slip. Seems like this is the standard and haven't seen anyone use flakes or do colors.

Drains- really want to be able to spray the room down between resets, so looking at these large rectangle drain troughs with removable tops on them. Seemed like these would be easy to clean out and better than a standard round drain(s). Going to decide on placement, but thinking either down middle and edge of room and center then under the tables.

Questions.

Any feedback on Epoxy color? Feel like gloss white is the standard.

Any difference or tips on drains or drain placement?

HpLVd concerns

So I recently got some clones sent over from cali and am pretty stressed out I spread it to my plants. The sellers say they test for it but I am always skeptical if I don’t see paperwork.

With that being said I’ve sent in leaf samples to be tested. My question is if I come up positive do I pretty much have to kill all my genetics and plants off?

Im a smaller scale outdoor farm with 330 sq ft of canopy. I’ve been vegging my plants since valentines day and already have them in 10 gallons and would hate to just toss them away if it spread. I took leaf samples of the 2 plants I took in, one full term plant, and one from my flower room. My thinking is that if one of the plants have it they’re all gonna have it because they’re pretty packed in my limited indoor space.

With that being said would it be worth it still throw those plants in 100 gals outside at the end of the month if I’m positive or just kill everything and start from seed again.

Sesrching a certain seed

Hi guys,

a fellow friend of mine just discovered the incredible seeds from ethos and since we do live in Germany ( they legalized weed in april this year) we are interested in getting a special seed named Snowball S1. You guys know where to get it? And perhaps which bank will send it to Germany, our seedbanks dont have it here. Since gettin the seed is the first step in growery i hope i didnt break yer rules.

Best regards

On site HLVd Testing

Hey guys, anyone have any info on accuracy/quality of MHVerify starter kit for running HLVd tests? If I buy their kit can I use any RNA tests in lieu of their own?

Maybe dumb question but I can't run a PCr test on a device that uses RNA tests, right?

Have been with Tumi for years but they're just too expensive for our current budget.

Edit: finding that RNA testing for Hop might be BS? Can anyone weigh in?

How many different strains are you actively cultivating?

Nice looking canopy at this vertically integrated facility in Denver, Colorado. They cultivate over 40 different strains, a dozen or more different ones in each "block" (shown in video), two blocks per room, ~50 plants per block.

Fish Terp

Shot in the dark, have any industry people resolved the “fish terp” odor problem that comes along with industrial extraction? If so what did you do and if you are working on the same problem I would gladly spitball and collaborate.

Less Important does anybody know what exactly “fish terps” are comprised of is it all garbage ?

Solution to my aspergillus problem

To anyone who helped me on my original post about my aspergillus problem, I decided to try hepa filters during flower and dry and I am now passing tests. I know some of the people that commented wanted to know what my solution was if and when I found one. Hope this helps anyone who might run into this issue!

Commercial YouTube grow

Hi guys, anyone have any recommendations on YouTube channels that show the day to day management of a smaller (1-2 people) commercial grow operation?

Not looking for flashy visuals, more like a video diary.

Cheers!

New legal state genetics

Hey growmies, what is everyone's opinion on the best way to start a new facility in a new legal state. Would you recommend reaching out to specifically recommended breeders for seeds and start pheno hunting? Is it best to go find high quality cuts in another established state?

Bonus question what is the average turn around time for breeding programs in new states?

Any advice, tips and tricks are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Seeking advice on the Tom’s Tumbler automatic bud sorter.

Has anyone got any experience with the Tom’s tumbler automatic bud sorter? I’m considering buying one presently but I want to hear it from someone that’s put the time in on it. I’ve used the greenbroz a lot but the 21k price tag is bullshit. Tom’s looks well built maybe even better than GB. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone know if fluence is still having that driver problem?

Ive got an opportunity to grab a ton of fluence spydr 2is and 2ps for less than 150 a piece brand new, all 2021 models.

Anyone know if fluence is still having that driver issue or if 2021 models would have been affected?

Also, to those that did have driver issues on a large scale, how did fluence rectify the situation? Did they just send driver after driver to you?

Anyone having success with Growlink Copilot?

Always used Arroya, my new facility is on Growlink and had previously tried to run the copilot with mixed success. After watching the few available modules it seems straight forward. I found a few online conversations that discussed some of the cons, which were frequent over watering and completely ignoring your irrigation windows with respect to dryback times. I'd love to hear some feedback if anyone has experience, good or bad.
