Bro since I got this ranch in 2015 I've watched so many cartel growers, and green rush growers (people that came from other states specifically to grow weed) come out here, thinking they're going to have this big beautiful harvest, only to fail miserably. (and I've seen it all out here from fully automatic gun-fights to robberies to mysterious dead bodies- but that's a whole 'nother story) and this has to be one of the hardest places on earth to grow cannabis.

The land out here is pretty much dust bowl country. It's mostly desert-like with tons of sand and clay. Mostly tumbleweeds and sagebrush. A few native grasses. But aside from that we get fuckin gale force winds on the regular, which is the #1 killer of outdoor crops out here. Then there's the hail storms. The #2 killer. And then you have swarms of giant, thumb-sized "plains lubber" grasshoppers that will chew the stalk of a cannabis start in half in 20 minutes.

It's like hell on earth for a grower, but we've been doing this for a long time and I have 80 acres to play with. I've come up with my own system to protect from the wind and the hail with little overhead costs, and through regenerative, no till and cover crops I can rejuvenate this sandy clay and also keep the grasshoppers off my crops by planting things that repel them.

So, all in all even after growing for years in basements, I'm still learning new things every day and I'd say I have a service I can offer by helping some of these farmers out here that are struggling. This has always been a part of my business model I'm trying to build, and I think we are going to start a composting side of it, as well. Composting is a huge part of regenerative farming, so being able to offer compost as well as consultation services, should be a success. I'm hoping, anyway! 🤠
One of the reasons I’m glad we crossed paths man. When I get to Colorado, into a outdoor grow space that is similar, you’ll be sick of me in no time harassing you for the Jedi skills to deal with that riff raff.

Hell yeah, @Deadstill has got lots of wisdom to share. Especially when it comes to soil and IPM. Haha you know i've already picked up a few of those nuggets. I appreciate it, bro
