1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Hey, have you heard the country?

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Bush today?

3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,000
You smoke.

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
This was going up to our meditation.

5
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Doctor.

6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Hello everyone and welcome back to the show.

7
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,000
I'm back after a little break.

8
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,000
I was forced to take care of my illness.

9
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
So this year in twenty twenty three is the year of taking care of my wellness.

10
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000
So don't take care of my wellness.

11
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,000
I'm going to be forced to take care of my illness again.

12
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000
And I don't want that.

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
So we got a great episode here for you with Mike Walsh from Greece.

14
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:42,000
He explains how the product increases yields, terps, trichome production and leads to better rosin, yields and flavor.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,000
So let's get into it.

16
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Welcome to the show.

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,000
I am Little Farmer.

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
The show is Reaper the Reaper.

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
I'm here at Area 420 with Matt Brainstrap.

20
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,000
He's put a little thing together where we invited Greece down here.

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
Mike is the owner and founder of Greece.

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,000
He's down here to tell us a little bit about his product today.

23
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:06,000
And we talked a little bit about where he's from and why he came out to Colorado.

24
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,000
So could you tell the listeners out there where you're from, Mike?

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,000
Yeah, like, thank you so much for having me out.

26
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
You guys have a really beautiful setup out here.

27
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Like just walking into like the train car, seeing all the mountains and everything.

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It's pretty surreal.

29
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:25,000
You're right in the center of the smack dab in the center of the San Luis Valley.

30
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000
No, just thank you so much for having me out.

31
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
I love talking about our products and kind of talking about some of the new technology that we're trying to bring to the table.

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:39,000
And it seems like you guys have like a really amazing community that you're building out here.

33
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:53,000
A while back when I was cruising through, just handing out some samples to over there at Colorado Hydroponics at the Moffitt store and like cruising around on just my early run.

34
00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:04,000
I had stopped over at the Hot Springs up the road and met someone that was actually involved in like the community up here and like started to just learn about it.

35
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,000
And I had seen a video over at Colorado Hydroponics and Salida as well.

36
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
So it seems like you're doing a really good job, like really putting something special together out here.

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:19,000
And thanks for inviting me out to be a part of it.

38
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Yeah, hey, anytime, man, we appreciate it. We appreciate Grease coming out.

39
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Same thing with Refer the Reefer podcast continuing to upload content.

40
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:40,000
And I really look forward to hearing what you have to say today, kind of learning a little bit more about the product that you have here to offer as well as what it can do to kind of help us here on the commercial scene a little bit across this entire subdivision.

41
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Yeah, for sure. And like you were asking me a little bit just like before we went live, like about some of my history and stuff.

42
00:02:47,000 --> 00:03:01,000
Yeah, like I studied horticulture at Colorado State University was fortunate enough to do that and have a good kind of like background in horticulture, specifically I was studying floriculture.

43
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000
So it was nice because it was more like it was really growing plants on a large scale, specifically greenhouse management.

44
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:17,000
And that's one reason I like your guys set up out here too because there is so much greenhouse and so much area under glass or plastic.

45
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:33,000
And so I have a lot of expertise there. And then when I left college, I started, you know, I had a little extra cash from from learning how to grow and kind of being in the scene and everything.

46
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:50,000
And I actually ended up starting an organic farm and like a CSA and everything. And we did we had 3.1 acres, we grew like 300 to 400 different varieties, all different stuff and so that was like a really good learning experience and we did it all organic.

47
00:03:50,000 --> 00:04:07,000
And then with my foundation of more on kind of the chemical side, and then going full organic right out out of that and having to make that transition was like a really good learning experience for me and I feel like I've been able to kind of bring some knowledge

48
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:25,000
and those backgrounds into into all my cannabis expertise and and been able to like share and kind of guide a lot of people in the right direction. I'm working at hydro stores for a really long time, and then ultimately going into kind of like product development and doing actually

49
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:41,000
helping create kind of the mammoth P product. And that was really, really excellent. Excellent opportunity for me and like great experience, because I was able to help them with like the formulation and then also do all the initial testing, do like the research on

50
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:55,000
cannabis because the, the farm bill had passed, you know, in 2013, that kind of allowed people to start to research hemp. So right away I started a company called healthy hemp research.

51
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:09,000
And because I just was like, wow, this is amazing. It's, it's almost like what's happening right now with psilocybin and with like psychedelics it's like, it had like just kind of become decriminalized or legalized type of type of thing.

52
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Now with the farm bill was even more legitimate so it was really nice to kind of start a company build a hemp grow, start experimenting with high CBD, then all that kind of coincided with the product development with mammoth so I was able to do the initial testing

53
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:34,000
and even get a paper published in the Journal of horticulture on the effects of basically mammoth P a bio stimulant on hemp on cannabis sativa.

54
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So, and this was 2017 so that was really really cool. And, again, just felt like extremely fortunate to work with a great team there at mammoth and one of the guys is even like a Nobel laureate, he has even like a Nobel Prize for his work that he has like published in nature

55
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:05,000
so just a very special experience.

56
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:14,000
I ended up leaving that to start a shop a small store in northern Colorado, started my own hydroponics store.

57
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:31,000
Really enjoyed that experience and we still have that to this day. And the thing is, that's what helped me cultivate Greece and the whole mentality like we were speaking out before we're truly like a win win win, where we're trying to go out and support

58
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:48,000
the stores because we see them as a valuable part of the community, you know it's like one of those things where so much knowledge goes into this plant that they're, they help spread that knowledge and help spread new ideas and over time weed out things that

59
00:06:48,000 --> 00:07:01,000
don't necessarily work and they're putting a lot of hard work and holding those inventories and like maintaining stuff so that we can like get it when we need it and and when work with us I think they're valuable asset.

60
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:18,000
We're doing kind of like a win win win thing where it's good for us good for the stores and good for the grower on our pricing structure. And we're trying to right now, go out and reach all the stores and get it down to the shelves, and then beyond next year,

61
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:32,000
we're going to be doing more vendor days, more things like this as much as we can as much outreach and push as we can but the main thing with all these products, and the truth for any growers that it has to work, and they have to see the proof for themselves

62
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:42,000
and see it actually the effect of the on the on the plant for themselves. So, my goal is to get it into the people's hands that work at the stores.

63
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
So that they can use the products like it.

64
00:07:45,000 --> 00:08:01,000
See the results be able to share the results share how to use it confidently. And then that's kind of the model that's like working really well it's kind of just now taking off which is awesome, but we're having a lot of success in like Montana, Oklahoma,

65
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Colorado,

66
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:21,000
and we're just working we just did a trip all the way out to the East Coast. So that was really fun and like, really awesome to, to actually, like, make it all the way home, which was one of a goal of mine like I'm from Maryland.

67
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:35,000
So I was able to for business, go around do some great trips some great travels around, particularly Virginia is blowing up right now. They just did a really good thing with some of their laws. So like they're, there's a lot more interest a lot of shops,

68
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:50,000
good quality shops popping up there. And it's just fun to see it's really fun to like, take this evolution. And now all of a sudden have the entire country because when I was with mammoth being kind of like their first employee.

69
00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:03,000
We started in Colorado so I was like the Colorado sales rep. So it's been nice to kind of branch out and really see like the different markets and when was that that was about 2000.

70
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:08,000
You think 18 ish. Nice. Yeah, somewhere in that in that range.

71
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:23,000
And let's see. It was. Yeah, it's just been nice to travel all around and and see how like going to some of these other markets is like genuinely like stepping into a time machine, compared to Colorado and everything.

72
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:38,000
So it's, it's really cool and really interesting for sure. Yeah, so Colorado is a really hard market to get on to your local support local I have actually picked up a sample at the hydroponic shop in Frisco.

73
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:50,000
The hydro hydro shack Kim great person so if you're in that area, so my county, make sure you stop in. She's awesome person. She gave me a sample of the grease I think it was green.

74
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:59,000
And it's a cannabinoid booster, which uses endocannabinoids to boost the endocannabinoids. Exactly. And the green is one of our best ones for for IPM as well.

75
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:17,000
So it's just that all of the grease products are all of our cannabinoid boosters are really good as well doubling as an IPM which just happens to be really nice because the compounds in the grease are also the, really the immune supportive compounds.

76
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:27,000
So, sure enough, it ends up helping and fighting off insects and fungus and bad bacteria and pests and even viruses things like that.

77
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:36,000
So, and it also keeps the environment clean like it's one of the few products that you could actually spray. And, and it will also keep.

78
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:43,000
It will also even like have an effect to clean the environment and your tables you know things like that, that it also hits.

79
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:52,000
Sweet. We're going to take a mini break here and go to commercial but we'll be right back with a little bit more information about all the products and the ins and outs of what you got available on the shelves.

80
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Sweet. Thanks. All right, cool.

81
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:12,000
This episode is brought to you by the Colorado Cannabis Connoisseur Coalition, they would like to invite you to celebrate the legendary extract games at the new 9000 square foot consumption event center located at 2200 South Monica Parkway in Denver, Colorado.

82
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:22,000
The eighth annual extract games brings Colorado's finest hash makers companies and community connoisseurs together for a one of a kind experience you will never forget.

83
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Extracts games is the fourth of seven main connoisseur cup season events. We started accepting entries at the first of each month starting in October and close entry toward the last day of each month through April.

84
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Official and community judges have 30 days to taste and rate each month's entry. The highest rated entries will qualify to compete for the remainder of the season in the connoisseur cups final if they choose to restock their entry, or they can keep their final scores and see if they hold up till the end.

85
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:10,000
If you have any questions or would like to come out and visit the venue, please contact 970-279-1420. Ask any questions, it's going to be $42 a night for the extract games.

86

There are VIP tables available, 4x6 vending areas available, pool table showcase area, a 10x10 sponsor area, a dispensary main LED bar sponsor area available. There are also VIP entertainment sponsorship available.

87
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:38,000
If you have any questions, you can also reach out to the website, theconnoisseurcup.com for more information.

88
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:53,000
And welcome back everyone. I'm here with Mike from the company Grease and Matt Brainstrap from Area 420. And we were talking about Grease and the new products he has available.

89
00:12:53,000 --> 00:13:05,000
Like I said, I am only familiar with the green and the green label is an endocannabinoid booster, or no, a cannabinoid booster from cannabinoids, right?

90
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Exactly. Could you explain that? Yeah, the idea is to use the power of the plant back on itself. And it's a really radically simple idea, but it's to basically harness the precursor compounds and the building blocks of the resin and the terpenes themselves and apply them back on the plant from a totally organic source.

91
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:46,000
So the idea is to have an option where you're using the plant back on itself and not adding any other foreign oils or enzymes or things like that, which obviously work, but it's just in a purist sense, it is kind of nice to be able to stay completely true to the plant.

92
00:13:46,000 --> 00:14:02,000
And then the extractors really like that because it's not messing with the consistency of the extract. And like they can really tell you know batch to batch if there's any type of like contamination or something that basically changes the way it runs and moves.

93
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:26,000
So that's a huge benefit. And then just increasing the overall health of the plant while it's growing, and then it's going to translate to your numbers increasing in the end, but literally like you can go into a plant into a room that you've been treating with grease, even just as a drench, and you can literally like smell the difference from your plants because they're going to be producing more terpenes and volatizing better.

94
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:42,000
And what it does is it's, it's providing those building blocks. And there's even like 50,000 different building blocks. So what we've done is we've broken it down by strain, because sure enough, the different strains have different sets of them.

95
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:58,000
And the better you can apply that set and align it with what you're growing, the better the response is going to be, they're all going to work. And like the green and the gold are probably the two most common ones because the green seems to be even a little bit more even better as a pesticide.

96
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:13,000
So if people have pests or any pest pressure, it just helps even that much more. And then the gold is our hybrid. So it works across the board, generally, and it's also the one that most people are introduced to and have really good success with.

97
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:35,000
But then, once people get into the line, we sure enough we found that we have made one for specifically indica, sativa, and even a finishing formula, because we found that if you have indica leaning strains or sativa leaning strains, it can literally increase the return as much as like 20-25% more to apply that specific set on.

98
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:55,000
And if it aligns better, and you can even layer them, which is really cool. And the grease is more of a premium product, but it's increasing exactly what you want. And there's no other company out there that's really specifically targeting cannabinoids and then also as a plus terpenes also.

99
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:16,000
And then we can actually kind of back it up with results and the numbers, you can see it in the numbers that yes, you are getting a return on this for sure. Not only from the healthier plant the whole time, from a little bit easier growing, and then a safer option to spray from a PPE standpoint.

100
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:44,000
But it's really nice because you actually get that return in the end. With the new products, what we did is we had to shift with the market because grease is more of a premium product and we had these other ones in development, and we wanted to launch them now because it is just like time for the market, where some people are really like pinching and watching their budget, which is completely understandable.

101
00:16:44,000 --> 00:17:02,000
So what we did is we came out with some very high quality products that mimic or exceed some other products out there in the market. So what we have is we have a one called bison brew, and it's a bison compost. It's one of the best compost teas I've ever brewed.

102
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:14,000
And like I said, I ran an organic farm for three and a half years, so I've done a ton of brewing specifically and experimented with a lot of different things and the bison, it's fungal dominant already.

103
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:34,000
And all the research out of Canada and Israel basically shows that cannabis is a lot like a fruit crop, like an orchard, it likes a fungal dominated mycorrhizae and our rhizosphere and a fungal dominated basically soil or cocoa.

104
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:50,000
So what that does is it reintroduces all that biodiversity, specifically the fungal diversity. It's even up to like 28% by weight fungal spores. So it's almost like you're putting a mycorrhizae product directly on and then it brews up incredibly well.

105
00:17:50,000 --> 00:18:10,000
So all it is is that it's the bison compost that we've composted. So bison waste that we've composted for two years at altitude. So this farm is 10,000 feet in elevation, and it's up in a beautiful like pristine valley where they have a thousand acre paddocks to turn the bison out on.

106
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:27,000
And the idea is see bison, they forage over a much wider range and a much larger biodiversity than say like cattle, and they actually end up having a 30% more microbes, indigenous microorganisms in their compost.

107
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:45,000
And then with our composting process, which is all compost alliance certified and everything, it just did an incredible job and you can even almost see little bits of like wood and all that because the bison are almost like elk where they'll eat more like shrubs and woody species too.

108
00:18:45,000 --> 00:19:04,000
So they have a lot of lignin derived humic acid and fulvic acid. It's a 111 for your NPK, and then it's got loaded with like calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, all your trace, and then most, and a ton of silica, and more importantly, all the biology associated with it too.

109
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:16,000
So the biology to mine and make that stuff actually bioavailable, so it could not even be from the bison source. It could be from the fertilizer that's already sitting there right there in your soil, but it's not actually being bioavailable.

110
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:24,000
So you lay down that compost tea, and I'm not kidding, like literally I've seen like five and six inches of growth like the next day.

111
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:37,000
It will really release that much, at least three or four, it will release that much energy and all of a sudden the plant can just shoot up in growth because it has all of a sudden all these requirements are being met.

112
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,000
The other two new products are the alpha grease and the blue.

113
00:19:41,000 --> 00:20:00,000
The alpha grease is basically like going to be similar to it. It's a tricanthinol product. So it's an alfalfa extract, and it's going to be similar to like a mammoth pea but without the microbes, or like a can of boost without the fertilizer, or like, for example, Green Planet Massive.

114
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:13,000
They reformulated it so it doesn't have the tricanthinol anymore. Products like that, it's going to be helping replace, and then the best part is it's coming in at like less than half the price.

115
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:27,000
So for everyone right now that's a little bit more price conscious, what we've done is we've have the same technology, organic source of tricanthinol, bottled in a ready to go form.

116
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:43,000
But the thing is, it's going to take an extra day or two to absorb, because basically what happens already with your, with your tricanthinol is, it's, it's a pretty big structure as from a molecular standpoint.

117
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:51,000
So it takes the microbes and the soil organisms to break it down and actually spoon feed it to the plant in a form that it's bioavailable.

118
00:20:51,000 --> 00:21:01,000
Now it's, it's all the way effective all the way down to like the parts per billion. So that's how you're able to use such a small amount of it, but it does have to be in the right format.

119
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:17,000
So we put it in the right format and then your soil bacteria or rhizosphere bacteria even in, even in a hydroponic situation is going to break that down and actually make the tricanthinol available in a way that the plant prefers.

120
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:29,000
And that's the most natural way for it to to be up taken and as opposed to like synthetic sources and things like that, where it can be really expensive and hard to like hit the exact number.

121
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:32,000
So that's a very exciting product.

122
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Then the other one's called the blue, and it's actually our least expensive you can get a bottle of it for like $20 at the store.

123
00:21:42,000 --> 00:22:01,000
It's also very concentrated. What it is is it's super unique. It's a blue green algae extract called phycocyanin. Again, in a liquid bioavailable, like ready to go form form so you don't have to mess with it and it can be kind of like a tough compound to work with.

124
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:15,000
But the interesting thing of it is like cyanobacteria evolved three and a half billion years ago, and they were the first mechanism organism to evolve like a photosynthetic apparatus really efficiently, at least that we know of.

125
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:26,000
And essentially it's, they're still out there flourishing today. And, and the, the blue. It is the pigment that's necessary for photosynthesis.

126
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:41,000
And then, you know, plants basically evolved right up out of and with these algae, and they have the same mechanism. So it's, it's, and they even have the same pigment in their light harvesting apparatus.

127
00:22:41,000 --> 00:23:03,000
So it's similar to the grease, where this is a complex compound that takes a lot of energy for the plant to make on its own. So we're supplementing that compound for not too, not too much money here, but it's also, but then it's really increasing plant growth because the cool thing about the phycocyanin is, imagine the plants harvesting these photons.

128
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:15,000
Imagine an upside down umbrella, the phycocyanin is like the out outer part it's like the widest part. So the more that you can push that out, the more photons you're able to capture.

129
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:34,000
And then the interest and the phycocyanin is doing that and it's funneling the energy actually to the activation center where the plants, creating essentially like the carbon and cleaving the carbon and actually harvesting the energy.

130
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:46,000
And the crazy thing is, it's not only helping it absorb more, but it can even help the system, the mechanism can close up and it can diffract the light too. If it's getting too much like a light stress.

131
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:57,000
So what it's doing is it's really helping with lights with all stresses but particularly light stress, both too little and too much it'll up regulate and down regulate the system.

132
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:04,000
And what we're seeing is, it's also a precursor to some of the purpling. So if you've got a strain that tends to go more purple.

133
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:18,000
Not only is our grease purple label. Excellent for that, but then the the blue is going to help too because it's a it's a building block compound of the purple as well and the anthocyanins, things like that of that nature.

134
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:34,000
So just a really fun product you're going to basically see the plants grow faster in veg. And then the cool thing in flower it's actually relieving pressure on the DNA and on like the genetic level to as the plants growing and there's mutations happening.

135
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:52,000
And it's one of the compounds it's an antioxidant compound that will actually reduce those mutations, and it can help them. That's another reason why it helps the plant grow faster, because it's dealing with those mutations faster essentially really cool, interesting

136
00:24:52,000 --> 00:25:05,000
technology and the crazy thing. You guys are going to love this. Some of the top scientists in the world. They've been asked you know, what does phycocyanin do for plants and they're like, we don't know.

137
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,000
You're leading.

138
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:24,000
It's common for the cannabis industry, I don't think we get enough credit for blazing the trails with some with with agricultural science you know we're constantly pushing it and we're so in tune with our plants that a lot of products are actually discovered,

139
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:33,000
and the efficacy is kind of proven through the cannabis industry, and we're kind of leading the charge with that too or what we're trying to do is we're trying to not.

140
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Thanks, we're trying to not

141
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:43,000
lie to people.

142
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:59,000
Essentially we're trying to basically be we're trying to basically tell people more exactly what is this technology, why is it working, and we don't care about the regist, the registration as much there's ways to creative ways to get around that we care about if it works

143
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:11,000
and if it's clean because the proof is in the pudding. You know what I mean everyone's getting tested they know if these products are clean. Everyone's getting tested and they know if the products are even working to these days which is awesome so like, we've got people going from

144
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:18,000
you know 22 to 25% THC 19 to 23.

145
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:28,000
We've got people going from eight to 13% on saving some of their strains in all lose media applications then so I'm a mystery.

146
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:36,000
So, I'm assuming, living soil organic applications hydroponics.

147
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:44,000
Yeah, and that's one super nice thing about our formulation is it works well plays friendly with all your microbes and things like that.

148
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:59,000
Because, yes, there's alcohol in our product but it's on such a small enough level it's diluted so much that it's no more than a natural ferment would be when you apply it. And then the for your hydro guys they love it because it's sterile, so it doesn't

149
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:10,000
throw off their communities. So like I've got a really great story really quick before we have to jump off. Well, actually, we got to take a break right now, and we'll jump back we'll come into your story and we'll actually go into the application rates and timing

150
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:20,000
of these products so when people do buy it, they know when to apply it to get the maximum effects from the products okay sweet. Awesome. We'll be right back folks. Thanks.

151
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:36,000
And thanks for tuning in everyone again. I'd like to give a couple shout outs to my boy Kyle McAlpin, thanks for sending in some feedback says day 75 super appreciative of all the support you gave me in the beginning to get it up and going,

152
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:43,000
and I've asked for a better intro. You're welcome Kyle thanks for being such a attentive listener.

153
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:56,000
Also, I'd like to give a shout out to my man Davey below down in Australia, the podcast that's going international, he reads hey mate, just discovered your podcast when the start of my journey really enjoyed the discussions and insight.

154
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Thanks for the guidance and the good drives from Australia. Cheers mate.

155
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Thanks, Davey. Keep tuning in a lot of good information coming this year, and back to the show.

156
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:13,000
And welcome back everyone. We're here with Mike from Greece and Matt Brainstrap from area 420. He hooked it all up for us.

157
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:24,000
Mike was going to tell us a story. He was talking about how there's little trace amounts of alcohol in the product and how it was a funny story with the hydroponic, and I cut him off.

158
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Sure, sure. Thanks. Um, no for sure it was a just kind of interesting story like related to the alpha Greece.

159
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Basically, after I finished working with mammoth P, one of the reps came up to me and said that in the R&D facility, they had a pretty big R&D facility, and they sterilized mammoth, and then they actually ran the sterilized versus mammoth P, and the sterilized one

160
00:28:51,000 --> 00:29:09,000
actually did better. And this was really surprising and kind of validating for me, just to know that, sure enough, the efficacy of the product seems to be from the trichanthinol in a pre digested form, and not necessarily from the microbes.

161
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:14,000
So, and at least according to their trial.

162
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:31,000
So I was very excited by that and then that's essentially one, one of the things one of the reasons that stimulated me to come up with the alpha Greece, because all it is is the alfalfa extract without the microbes, a sterile version, and basically it's providing that same thing

163
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:48,000
that same technology of the trichanthinol that directly increases yield, because it turns on about, it turns on a lot more genes, and that translates to increasing, it turns on the flowering genes, almost even before the plant goes into flower.

164
00:29:48,000 --> 00:30:06,000
So it's, it's, that's one that you want to put in about two weeks before you flip, and then carry it into the flowering process. It will, the alpha Greece is going to drive the flowering process quite a bit by turning on those genes, and just increasing the overall uptake to

165
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:19,000
you were talking about hormone levels were able or mess with the hormone levels and allow certain certain ones I can't remember off top my head, could you repeat that again. Yeah, of course, difficulties and kind of cut you off there.

166
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:36,000
Yeah, and it is it is a hormonal product and the hormones work on like the parts per million even parts per billion so that's what's so interesting about them is a, and it's an organic source of the trichanthinol from alfalfa and alfalfa is known to flower, basically

167
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:53,000
all not all season long but it's a very aggressive flowering plant. So that's why it has naturally high levels of this. And then, um, it's even a compound that's very safe it's found in beeswax because the bees are able to accumulate it basically out of the alfalfa and

168
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:09,000
it's a very dangerous flowers and stuff too. And hormones drive all the growth in the plant, really at the end of the day, they are basically like the switch that's getting turned on to push the growth, and you've got you know like auctions for the roots,

169
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:28,000
and you've got gibberellic acids for the shoots cytokinins for the roots and also for the, the thickness of the stems and things like that, your lateral branching and basically trichanthinol is is one of those but specifically more for flowering and that's why it's

170
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:40,000
a powerful technology to be turning those genes on and like really getting the plant amped up and ready to transition into flower and then also to just keep pushing the process hard.

171
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:51,000
So we're seeing about 1520% increase in overall yield with that product, and you're going to want to use it at half a mil per gallon through about week, four to six.

172
00:31:51,000 --> 00:32:06,000
And people also like to use it all the way up to flush. I personally think that since it is such a strong hormone, it can kind of push the fox tailing and induce fox tailing on some more sensitive strains, particularly your more sativa dominant strains.

173
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:24,000
So that's something to watch out for and that's a reason why I cut it out around weeks like four or five, just because it also kind of has done its job at that point and it has most of the, it's, it's basically driven the uptake and push most of the

174
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:33,000
development and it'll actually stay in the plant and keep working for a few weeks after. So that's another reason to that you can kind of cut it out then.

175
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:40,000
And, and what's really unique is since it's all sterile you can even spray it. So that's unlike you know mammoth.

176
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:52,000
And there's another, there's other products that it's similar to like, for example, can a boost. I personally think that can a boost probably has a trikantinol in it, I'm not sure about that.

177
00:32:52,000 --> 00:33:07,000
It's a nice product to be. And then also like for example Green Planet Massive, they used to have trikantinol in there is they actually reformulated it without it. So it's a really nice product to kind of fit that technology and then it's also a lot less expensive.

178
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:24,000
So it's a really nice product for people to get into the blue. It's a unique product because what it is is, it's basically going to increase your growth rate. So it's definitely more for veg, but it seems to help if you carry it through flower as well,

179
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:37,000
and it's going to reduce stress on the genetic level on the DNA level. Again, it's going to deal with a lot of like mutations and things like that that might have that might happen. The antioxidant qualities of it.

180
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:46,000
It will go around and it'll actually similar to how it can kind of like grab free radicals out of our body, it does the same thing within the plant and reduces mutations.

181
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:57,000
It can be faster growth and veg, and it can even reduce stress to the point where if some plants were maybe going to harm, it can even pull that back and and keep them true.

182
00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:03,000
And on that one you go half a mil per gallon. You can also spray it as well because it is sterile.

183
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:22,000
And it's a, you're going to want to use that pretty much all the way up to flush, especially if you have a strain that is more purple dominant, because that blue pigment is also a precursor of the purpling and that purple pigment and it can create kind of a deeper, nice darker purple.

184
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:34,000
The grease, all of our colors of the grease, the all five products they work on all the same as far as the ratio. So the amount that you add, it's half a mil per gallon.

185
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:51,000
And those products, veg to flour, it's, you're going to see the most benefit in flour, but you'd be surprised how much benefit you see in overall health and in cloning speed even using it in clone, because the compounds in the grease are immune building

186
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:07,000
compounds, all cannabis derived, and that's going to basically help the plant defend itself in veg and it and specifically in clone, because when you take a clone off of the plant, about 60 to 70% of the immune system is actually in the roots.

187
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:23,000
So all of a sudden it's working overdrive to just protect itself, because it doesn't have that energy coming up and from the immune support from the root system. So when you spray the plant like every day with grease, we're seeing like half the rooting time, which is really

188
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:37,000
remarkable and very impressive too, because I've seen that like the strongest, the stronger a plant and the stronger a flowering round is, it can almost be traced all the way back to like the vigor of that clone and how well it started.

189
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:50,000
It's like the beginning is almost like the most important part of the enterprise. That's not 100% true, but it really is pretty true and like we just got done walking through a garden.

190
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:55,000
Yeah, so that was Astronomics. Shout out Aaron and Sarah. Aaron was amazing over there at Astronomics.

191
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:08,000
And for him to be all you know DWC and hydro, there's very few products that he could use that actually feel safe to be adding to a hydro system.

192
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:26,000
But luckily, our liquids are actually kind of some of those things that would be safe to use and then spraying the grease is going to give him a nice twofer where he not only has an increase in the resin and the terpenes, but it's also going to defend against

193
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:41,000
various PM in, you know, anything nasty that could be creeping up and just possibly going on so as a good preventative is a good preventative exactly so it's just like one of those things.

194
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:53,000
Really nice. So I asked you earlier, just because of Aaron, his reservoir he talked on our podcast earlier about, he could lower his inputs, because of his system, it's more bioavailable.

195
00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:08,000
Yep. And I asked you a little bit ago before we had our difficulty. Your ratio is the same all across the board if it's cocoa, if it's a pro mix if it's a hydroponics or if it's a living soil right you dilute this the same for all these mediums.

196
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:25,000
Yeah, and when I remember what I was my I lost my train of thought there. Um, like, Aaron he uses tissue culture. Yes, and that's the reason the reason is because again the strongest start, and that clean start gives him by far the competitive advantage.

197
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:42,000
So that's kind of like the same idea with the yeah exactly there's no type of systemic issue waiting to flare due to a stress response in typically the grow the grow environment and right now with his setup, he definitely needs to make sure that he's using tissue culture genetics,

198
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:59,000
and really keep a clean approach with that. That's our whole thing is like start clean stay clean, you know, and like quality in quality out like that's kind of like, just the way you have to be these days and like the return on investments huge like with the grease specifically.

199
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:17,000
It's the only product that is actually targeting, you know, the resin and the terpenes and actually standing up to the claim and and boosting exactly what we want. So like the, the extractors are really loving it, and just the growers you go into a room that's treated

200
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:29,000
with the grease and you can literally just almost tell, because the terpenes are elevated and the volatility is elevated to that can even improve the leaf angle and things like that.

201
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:40,000
So, we've seen probably related to the fact that it is almost like a sunscreen. So it can help kind of the angle a little bit help them absorb some more.

202
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:52,000
It can help them absorb more photons, and then the, the connect the grease, you can definitely use all the way up to the end and it even works well as like a pre harvest wash.

203
00:38:52,000 --> 00:39:10,000
So the compounds in the grease are from inside the trichome head. It, it is safe on the trichomes, and it's, and it's even safe all the way up until harvest and and can knock off some dust and debris and any type of nasty even a few last insects right before

204
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,000
you harvest in a natural way that's not going to throw off your extracts. So that's really exciting.

205
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:28,000
It's also really good for other crops. So like, yeah, it's a little bit of a premium product, but like for example I'm kind of like a giant pumpkin grower, and they have like pumpkins have four different types of trichomes.

206
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:41,000
I think two different glandular ones, and they exude a lot of terpenes you can tell tomatoes similarly to you know when you put your hands on the leaf, and you can just smell that vigorously.

207
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:45,000
And it's so strong on your hand.

208
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:55,000
Those are the terpenes and, and from very similar structures and yeah sure enough, the building blocks from cannabis can actually translate to other species it's amazing awesome.

209
00:39:55,000 --> 00:39:58,000
Yeah, and, and, and.

210
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:02,000
So, I've seen that firsthand and we've grown.

211
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:08,000
We were trying to work up to 1000 pounds we grew like a 514 pound pumpkin. That's really fun. Wow.

212
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:17,000
And it wasn't it was kind of in parts, it was in like part son it wasn't even in close to full sun so you got pics. Yeah, I got pics. Okay.

213
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:38,000
But then, the, the bison brew, it's so nice because it's really adding to the flavor and the taste, but in a different way, not specifically adding the building blocks, it's more doing it from the ground up and and doing it actually feeding the soil and improving

214
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:56,000
the soil structure and improving the symbiotic relationships that are going on in the soil, applying that diversity from the bison that they, they're able to bio accumulate such an amazing like biodiversity of insects, or sorry of microbes in their, in their

215
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:14,000
gut, that it's actually 30% more microbes and say like cow compost, and really diverse diversity is king when it comes to soil structure and the microbes, the microbial environment because the more diversity you have the more they're going to be working together

216
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:33,000
to basically liberate all that nutrition for you. And you want to work, you know, with the microbes not against them in in cocoa and soil situations, because they are basically like an insurance policy and then they're also able to mine all those little micro

217
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:48,000
nutrients out of the out of the soil feed it up to the plant and then that directly translates into the taste and flavor and the terpenes and like the diversity of the microbial life is similar to the diversity that's going to be expressed in like the chemical

218
00:41:48,000 --> 00:42:02,000
compounds that that plant can actually make and express to because it has then the full range of everything that it can work with it has all the tools and it's in its toolbox and basically that's what we're trying to do like with

219
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:11,000
the other places we we've developed a line here where no matter what you're doing, we were, we feel like we're adding a lot of benefit to it.

220
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Even, even hydro guys are seeing a lot of benefit.

221
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:31,000
They can brew up the bison brew and spray it onto their plants, and then there's a whole, there's a whole surface microbiome above ground that literally you're feeding, and there's a whole bacteria bacterial network and fungal network even on the leaf surface

222
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:46,000
that's really pulling nutrients even out of the air and things like that. You want the whole plant to be protected and so there's just a, it's very diverse line but the nice thing is it plays friendly with whatever you're already doing.

223
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:54,000
That's what we really wanted to do is we wanted to create something where people that really want to take it and max out and go to take it to the top level.

224
00:42:54,000 --> 00:43:09,000
And we do so, and so earlier you were talking about the, the bison and bring it for 24 hours for for the age and then 48 hours for flower was the difference in that could explain that one more time for me please.

225
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,000
Yeah, for sure and for.

226
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:23,000
And also it's worth mentioning like it's, it's very, it's commercially viable to because of the dilution ratio. So once you're done like let's say you're brewing up a five gallon batch of it.

227
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:40,000
I do about two cups of bison brew and then two tablespoons of unsulfur molasses and bubble that for 24 hours for veg 48 hours for bloom, just as you said, and the, the reason is, you go 48 hours for bloom because there's a lot of protozoa in the bison specifically,

228
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:56,000
and the protozoa species will actually eat eat your bad bacteria and flower, and can really. That's a nice, very nice insurance policy because it's going to re stabilize.

229
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:15,000
If your microbial community has has run away so to speak, and is an anaerobic community is starting to pop up, they'll actually come in control and suppress that and can save you even route, ultimately, but right in the end, which is that's incredibly

230
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:16,000
desirable.

231
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:31,000
And I think that especially when it's wet out outdoors and rain and fall. Also, you were talking about the cannabinoid boosters there's different colors and different labels, one specific for sativa which will help for sativa so there's a green was more of a overall universal

232
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:41,000
one, and could you go through the colors one more time for me and tell you what, which ones are specific for. Yeah, definitely. And it's worth mentioning that all of them will work.

233
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:59,000
And also, what we've discovered in all of our research is that the different colors are from different strains, and then they're also different extraction techniques. And basically, what we've done is we figured it out to where the isoprene the building

234
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:17,000
grounds of the resin itself. There's so many of those is about 50,000. That different group will actually vary quite a bit based on the variety. So, it's going to help no matter what but if you're if you're able to line up the group, it's almost like

235
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:33,000
the base to be so to speak, where all of a sudden you're putting the, you have more of a indica dominant room, and you're using the purple are more indica dominant cannabinoid booster. It's going to be about 2025% more effective because it, it filled that slot a lot

236
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:44,000
easier and matched up better. And, then, also, another big one worth mentioning is like CBGA. The plant has to create CBGA before it can create THC.

237
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:49,000
A before it can create THC or CBD or any of these compounds.

238
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,040
So we have some of that in there as well

239
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,160
to keep it naturally stimulated.

240
00:45:53,160 --> 00:45:55,980
And basically it's a hack.

241
00:45:55,980 --> 00:45:59,760
It's a reverse way to essentially use the plant

242
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,420
back on itself and naturally facilitate it.

243
00:46:02,420 --> 00:46:05,040
It's a lot like us taking like an IV

244
00:46:05,040 --> 00:46:07,980
or like a bag of like stem cells or something like that.

245
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,280
And then you said the green one was universal

246
00:46:11,280 --> 00:46:14,120
and it worked as an IPM, which some people out there

247
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:16,400
if you don't know what IPM is pest management

248
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,680
and cannabinoids are a part of the plant

249
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:22,560
that help protect it from pests and from the sun

250
00:46:22,560 --> 00:46:24,340
like a sunscreen, like you said.

251
00:46:24,340 --> 00:46:27,720
So it's just natural to me thinking that it would help

252
00:46:27,720 --> 00:46:30,320
as a pest management if you introduce it back

253
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:32,320
it would just deter the pests from attacking it

254
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:33,680
and making it much more strong.

255
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,060
No, for sure, for sure.

256
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:38,280
And that's what we're seeing across the board

257
00:46:38,280 --> 00:46:40,880
which is so nice to have like a dual effect

258
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,800
and not only is it boosting the resin

259
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:46,640
but also controlling, adding to your IPM routine

260
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,960
and it seems to be really controlling pests.

261
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:54,600
The gold is our hybrid, so it works across the board.

262
00:46:54,600 --> 00:46:58,360
The green is our IPM or it's also happens

263
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,400
to be the best for hemp or autos.

264
00:47:00,400 --> 00:47:02,960
And the reason is it's the widest spectrum.

265
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,840
So it ends up being kind of hitting the molds

266
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:10,120
and the insects better because it's getting them

267
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:12,040
with more of a diversity of compounds

268
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:13,640
or there's a compound in there

269
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,420
that maybe it wasn't in one of the others

270
00:47:15,420 --> 00:47:17,920
that seems to work more effectively against them.

271
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:22,920
And then the purple is our indica, the amber is our sativa

272
00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,480
and then the yellow is actually our finisher.

273
00:47:26,480 --> 00:47:28,240
And with the finishing compound,

274
00:47:28,240 --> 00:47:31,720
you can layer all of our products together safely

275
00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:33,920
so you can actually stack them.

276
00:47:33,920 --> 00:47:35,500
But one thing we really recommend

277
00:47:35,500 --> 00:47:37,560
is stacking the yellow at the end.

278
00:47:37,560 --> 00:47:39,760
Basically keep doing whatever you're doing

279
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:44,060
if you're on the gold, green or purple, whatever,

280
00:47:44,060 --> 00:47:46,280
but then add the yellow in for the last

281
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:47,920
like three or four weeks.

282
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,920
And we're really seeing that help with the maturation time.

283
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:57,880
It's helping like kind of speed up long flowering sativas.

284
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:01,920
And then with like your indicas, it's helping them layer on

285
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:05,520
and actually mature in a nice way

286
00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,240
to where it's also boosting more of the resin at the end

287
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:14,600
because the plant is producing different compounds

288
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,360
at the end and then we've taken the precursors

289
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,240
from those finishing compounds.

290
00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:22,400
So that's the idea is that it's also helping push

291
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:23,760
the maturation cycle.

292
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:26,240
So it's helping boost the yields for the strains

293
00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:27,880
that people are washing these days.

294
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,120
They get a little bit more boost off their

295
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:32,600
or more yield off of their wash

296
00:48:32,600 --> 00:48:35,600
and creating a little bit better resin or rosin.

297
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,240
Yeah, and we've even had a couple of friends

298
00:48:38,240 --> 00:48:42,920
that are specifically like washers and they've had both,

299
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:43,920
they really love grease.

300
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:47,240
Like not only are they seeing it increase their numbers,

301
00:48:47,240 --> 00:48:50,120
even on the high end, even on some GMOs

302
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:50,960
and things like that,

303
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:53,580
that they didn't think they could see go much higher,

304
00:48:53,580 --> 00:48:56,540
but it's also saved some of their lower strains

305
00:48:56,540 --> 00:48:58,940
that like maybe produced awesome turps,

306
00:48:58,940 --> 00:49:01,360
but for some reason didn't have the yield

307
00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:03,480
or maybe didn't wash right or something.

308
00:49:03,480 --> 00:49:07,480
And it's actually making them a keeper,

309
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,120
pushing it up into that threshold where it can be a keeper,

310
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:13,480
which is super nice.

311
00:49:13,480 --> 00:49:17,640
And for them, like flavor is everything

312
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:20,880
because obviously that's what gets people kind of coming back

313
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:21,960
to your brand.

314
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:24,420
And they're even doing mixes and things like that

315
00:49:24,420 --> 00:49:26,120
where like they'll keep something around

316
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:30,840
because the turp is so special into their even like a mix.

317
00:49:30,840 --> 00:49:32,200
That's really interesting.

318
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,600
Yeah, we had a lot of mixes out there.

319
00:49:33,600 --> 00:49:35,080
That's why some people buy a rosin

320
00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,560
and it'll have Mac Vader or something.

321
00:49:37,560 --> 00:49:39,440
And it'd be like, I've never heard of a Mac Vader.

322
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,160
And they're taking Mac one and mixing it

323
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:43,160
with some Death Vader or something.

324
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:45,920
And like mixing them, like you said,

325
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,960
taking the turps from one, the yield from another,

326
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:52,720
combining them to boost the effects and the profit.

327
00:49:52,720 --> 00:49:53,880
But they're literally telling me

328
00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:56,440
that they can't grow without the grease now

329
00:49:56,440 --> 00:49:57,940
after seeing the returns.

330
00:49:57,940 --> 00:50:00,480
And then beyond that, the health of the plant too,

331
00:50:00,480 --> 00:50:02,920
like just for the grower, just to walk into the room

332
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:06,400
and see them that much more healthy and notice it

333
00:50:06,400 --> 00:50:08,640
is worth it to them too, which is awesome.

334
00:50:08,640 --> 00:50:10,840
Yeah, we talked a little bit too

335
00:50:10,840 --> 00:50:13,040
about the love you put into the plant,

336
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:14,600
you get back in return.

337
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:17,740
And the reason we start that conversation

338
00:50:17,740 --> 00:50:20,160
is because these are available in all the shelves

339
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:22,360
in Colorado pretty much that you've been able to hit.

340
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:25,440
And if they're not, you can ask your local store

341
00:50:25,440 --> 00:50:29,220
and they're available readily here in Colorado, right?

342
00:50:29,220 --> 00:50:31,240
Yeah, definitely, and even across the country,

343
00:50:31,240 --> 00:50:34,160
we're working as hard as we can to get to all the stores.

344
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:35,120
And thanks for saying that,

345
00:50:35,120 --> 00:50:36,560
because that is totally our model.

346
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:38,960
Like we really wanna support the stores

347
00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,440
and support that community.

348
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:41,680
And that's what impressed me so much

349
00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:43,400
about being out here at the area 420

350
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,120
and seeing such a strong community.

351
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,200
And then the Hydro Shop right across the street,

352
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:51,800
I mean, you guys literally brought them here

353
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:54,180
just off of the demand that you created.

354
00:50:54,180 --> 00:50:55,360
And then that spirals.

355
00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,600
I think they may have been operating before,

356
00:50:57,600 --> 00:51:01,080
but I would assume their sales

357
00:51:01,080 --> 00:51:03,320
have increased dramatically since.

358
00:51:03,320 --> 00:51:05,920
I mean, they bring in quite a bit of business as well

359
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:07,400
outside of the area 420 community.

360
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,760
I mean, this whole valley for the most part

361
00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,840
is pretty cannabis friendly.

362
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:12,240
Totally.

363
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:14,560
But then when it comes to like the industry side,

364
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:19,560
it's all about the ordinance in place within that township.

365
00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:23,400
And I think that's where we kind of shine

366
00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:26,200
in more of a pro-cannabis approach than others.

367
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:27,920
Definitely, yeah.

368
00:51:27,920 --> 00:51:29,400
No, it makes a huge difference.

369
00:51:29,400 --> 00:51:31,360
Like it just, we feel like,

370
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,080
especially with new products like ours,

371
00:51:33,080 --> 00:51:34,480
innovative products,

372
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,540
the knowledge base needs to be there.

373
00:51:36,540 --> 00:51:37,720
So I'm working as hard as I can

374
00:51:37,720 --> 00:51:39,520
to basically get to the stores,

375
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,560
get bottles into those people's hands

376
00:51:41,560 --> 00:51:44,480
so that they can use it, get the good results,

377
00:51:44,480 --> 00:51:46,680
be able to confidently talk about it,

378
00:51:46,680 --> 00:51:48,440
and then just take it from there.

379
00:51:48,440 --> 00:51:51,680
And then next year I wanna do focus on a lot more events

380
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:53,160
and things like that.

381
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,560
Yeah, I think like the SLV seed exchange

382
00:51:56,560 --> 00:52:00,040
would probably be a great event to jump on with, man.

383
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:03,600
It's an event hosted at the Joyful Journey Hot Springs,

384
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,120
plugging them real quick on this.

385
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:05,960
Nice.

386
00:52:05,960 --> 00:52:09,000
But yeah, they do an event every year

387
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:12,360
and it draws in home growers, commercial growers

388
00:52:12,360 --> 00:52:14,920
from all different fields, from all over the valley,

389
00:52:14,920 --> 00:52:18,080
all over the state to come down and exchange seed,

390
00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:20,640
talk about whore culture in general,

391
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,240
and promote certain products.

392
00:52:23,240 --> 00:52:25,200
So I think it'd be a great little avenue for you.

393
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:26,960
If not, if you don't been there,

394
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:28,640
I would definitely try to put it on your schedule

395
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:29,840
to try to come by and check it out

396
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,960
because it's a good representation of this valley overall.

397
00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:33,800
No, totally.

398
00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,960
And the whole gardening community, I guess.

399
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:37,200
That sounds awesome.

400
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:38,200
Yeah.

401
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,840
And Joyful Journey is amazing.

402
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:41,480
Yeah, they got a good thing going there, man.

403
00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,600
There's a couple good, cool little hot spring spots.

404
00:52:44,600 --> 00:52:47,660
They're one of a few, but we like working with them.

405
00:52:47,660 --> 00:52:48,980
We like sponsoring the event

406
00:52:48,980 --> 00:52:53,980
and hope to get the event rolling again here soon for 2023.

407
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:55,120
Awesome.

408
00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,360
Yeah, I need to go check out the other one.

409
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:58,960
So there are some people who don't have access

410
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:00,240
to a hydroponics shop.

411
00:53:00,240 --> 00:53:01,080
Yes.

412
00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:03,040
And can they go to your website and pick something up?

413
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:03,880
Yes, absolutely.

414
00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:05,000
Can they get more information

415
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:06,600
about all these products at your website?

416
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:07,440
Definitely.

417
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:09,500
And it's at Grow With Grease on Instagram

418
00:53:09,500 --> 00:53:11,500
and growwithgrease.com is our website.

419
00:53:11,500 --> 00:53:13,000
And thanks for saying that,

420
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,480
because yes, we absolutely have it available on our website

421
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,320
for folks that live pretty far away from shops

422
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:20,800
or they might live by a shop

423
00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:22,840
that doesn't happen to carry it for some reason.

424
00:53:22,840 --> 00:53:24,400
So yeah, totally.

425
00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:25,920
So yeah, like he said,

426
00:53:25,920 --> 00:53:29,880
request it at your shop, support your local hydroponics shop.

427
00:53:29,880 --> 00:53:31,320
It's a hard time for everybody out there.

428
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:35,320
Shout outs to Kim up at Hydro Shack in Frisco, Colorado.

429
00:53:35,320 --> 00:53:38,140
She's the one that hooked me up with your sample.

430
00:53:38,140 --> 00:53:38,980
I tested it out.

431
00:53:38,980 --> 00:53:39,920
I like it.

432
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,040
I would definitely like to try some more.

433
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:45,000
I'm highly interested in Bison Brew.

434
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,240
I'd like to brew some of that up.

435
00:53:47,240 --> 00:53:49,200
Anything else you would like the listeners out there

436
00:53:49,200 --> 00:53:51,280
to know about your product, about yourself?

437
00:53:52,280 --> 00:53:54,640
I know you've got a lot of love for the plant

438
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:55,720
and you're spreading love out there,

439
00:53:55,720 --> 00:53:56,560
spreading knowledge.

440
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:57,600
I highly appreciate that.

441
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:01,280
And Matt, thanks for bringing us on here.

442
00:54:01,280 --> 00:54:02,160
Yeah, anytime, man.

443
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:04,320
I appreciate you guys doing what you do.

444
00:54:04,320 --> 00:54:05,920
Appreciate the content.

445
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,840
Mike, many thanks for coming out.

446
00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:10,880
We still got a couple more little spots

447
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,200
we wanna check out here in phase one at area 420.

448
00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:15,400
And I wanna take you out to phase two.

449
00:54:15,400 --> 00:54:16,880
Anybody that's listening in,

450
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:20,400
you can find us at Colorado area 420 on Instagram,

451
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,640
Colorado area 420.com.

452
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,800
And then my personal Instagram at brainstrap underscore F2.

453
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,880
That's the backup account.

454
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,200
So that's kind of some contact information for us.

455
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,840
But yeah, man, big ups.

456
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:34,920
This is a cool episode and a lot of information

457
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,640
and a lot of knowledge dropping.

458
00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:38,800
And it's gonna be cool to see

459
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,240
what happens going forward here.

460
00:54:41,240 --> 00:54:42,080
Definitely.

461
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,560
Mike, any information, any more plugs,

462
00:54:43,560 --> 00:54:47,800
any Instagram links you would like to let people know about?

463
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:50,760
Yeah, I was gonna say, please look out for us.

464
00:54:50,760 --> 00:54:54,240
We're heading out to Michigan and the Northeast next.

465
00:54:54,240 --> 00:54:59,280
And then also we just made available a sample pack

466
00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:00,400
on our website.

467
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:03,000
So if people are interested and just wanted to try

468
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,760
the product, they could buy a sample pack too on the website.

469
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,560
And that's one thing we wanted to do

470
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,800
to just get it into people's hands a little bit faster.

471
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:15,720
And then really your store is also the best place

472
00:55:15,720 --> 00:55:19,040
to request samples because requesting samples through them

473
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:22,440
is going to basically get the product onto the shelf faster.

474
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:25,080
And I'll send samples right to the store too.

475
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,520
And any stores out there that wanna get your products

476
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:29,720
that they don't have them anywhere in the nation,

477
00:55:29,720 --> 00:55:30,840
they can go to your website.

478
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:33,040
Do you have your contact information?

479
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,120
They can get wholesale products from you there.

480
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,240
That way you don't have to hit them up.

481
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:39,200
They know about your product.

482
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:40,040
They can hit you up.

483
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,320
Yeah, definitely for sure.

484
00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:44,960
And they can either email me through the website

485
00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:47,880
or also just sign up and log in through the website

486
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:48,960
and we can get it all approved.

487
00:55:48,960 --> 00:55:52,760
And that's, I mean, it's a grassroots thing.

488
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:54,400
The other thing I really wanted to say is,

489
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,720
we are like grower owned company,

490
00:55:57,720 --> 00:56:00,200
that like kind of buy growers for growers.

491
00:56:00,200 --> 00:56:03,360
And that's our whole thing is like holding quality first

492
00:56:03,360 --> 00:56:07,480
and quality is like our premium kind of value.

493
00:56:07,480 --> 00:56:11,520
No pesticides, no heavy metals, no residual solvents

494
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:13,200
and staying true to the plant

495
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:15,960
because that's really where like our passion is.

496
00:56:15,960 --> 00:56:17,680
Yeah, those are the types of products

497
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,360
and the type of businesses I like to support myself.

498
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:23,000
You got a lot of love for the plant.

499
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,600
It really shows at the end,

500
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,960
in through the plants expressions.

501
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:29,280
And we talked a little bit earlier about

502
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,040
if you're cutting corners here, cutting corners there,

503
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,080
on a business side, number side, sometimes

504
00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,120
that love is lost and it really shows

505
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:38,840
sometimes through the plant, not always,

506
00:56:38,840 --> 00:56:43,120
but if you got love for the plant, show it,

507
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,440
support the other people who got love for the plant,

508
00:56:45,440 --> 00:56:47,040
support local.

509
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,000
And that energy is just gonna keep transferring

510
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,040
and passing on.

511
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:51,960
Yep, I believe that the karma,

512
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,000
the cannabis plant has a karma to it.

513
00:56:54,000 --> 00:56:57,360
If you try to take advantage of it to your advantage,

514
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,200
it'll bite you in the ass in the end.

515
00:57:00,200 --> 00:57:02,000
Totally, yeah.

516
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,480
So thanks for tuning in guys,

517
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,920
one love and peace and go out and support your Greece.

518
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:09,640
Thanks.

519
00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:10,480
You're welcome.

520
00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:11,520
Thank you for coming on the show today.

521
00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,520
Thanks for tuning in again, everyone.

522
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:15,280
Big things to come this year.

523
00:57:15,280 --> 00:57:17,600
A lot of new content coming from Area 420

524
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,480
and the Colorado Connoisseurs Cup

525
00:57:20,480 --> 00:57:23,280
down at the Vibe on South Monaco.

526
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,240
I'll be down there occasionally setting up,

527
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:28,240
doing some interviews and having some tinctures and tea,

528
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:30,320
which we're calling TNT hour

529
00:57:30,320 --> 00:57:32,600
and sharing some tea with everyone.

530
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:34,800
Also, there's gonna be a lot of new video content

531
00:57:34,800 --> 00:57:36,800
coming up with my boys, Dan and Kendall.

532
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:39,080
They are helping out the little farmer team here.

533
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,280
Thanks guys for becoming part of the team.

534
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:45,280
Together, hopefully we can make 2023 a great year

535
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:48,640
for the cannabis community and legalize cannabis

536
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:51,920
across the nation and hopefully across the world.

537
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:53,040
Peace and love.

538
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:58,040
["Dr. Earl"]

539
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:28,040
["Dr. Earl"]
