It's the ink I'm thinking. You're right, it should be greenhouse-proof. I wouldn't be surprised if, because it's the Liquor Board, they're having people use the same products that are used on shelved alcohol. They should be using what the horticultural folks use, it works. EG, I just got myself a "garden" pen, this thing is awesome! It NEVER fades, dries pretty much instantly, is water and sun resistant in a big way. The only thing that grease pencils have over this pen is that they can be wiped off and that allows me to reuse my plant tags.Wow, there should be a way to keep the barcode from fading...maybe it's time to invent something :)
Can't wait to hear what the results from the lab are...I find it really interesting
I'm so weird, I love being imaged.

I should have realized that, d'oh! But seriously, me, too. :Dyeah, I'm sure that once growers start complaining or their inspectors think it's a problem that they will find a way to fix it...I mean the whole reason they want the bar code is to track everything in the grow right? How can you tell which plant is which if the barcode is being rendered unusable?
You can usually "erase" permanent ink by going back over it with ink and then rubbing it off with a cloth...I love grease pencils!
Oh my goodness:) I am not growing for any medical market first and foremost. We are part of the recreational market here, I was the 10th legal license granted in the state because I can jump through all the hoops that have been put in front of us and I have helped countless others to do the same, taking valuable time and energy for no personal return at all, just to be a part of the solution as I see it. I have mentioned that repeatedly. Here in WA state you can find a medical dispensary on any corner and guess what....they are not even required to test their products at all. I however am and will be testing every single strain for potency, contaminants, mold, disease, pests, etc. by state approved labs with the most current testing protocols available. I have to include that report with the sale of each and every one of our products so the consumer can see exactly what they are getting. How many medical providers do you know that do that? I have smoked marijuana every day of my life for 31 years. Never have I smoked any weed that was laboratory tested for anything. Never have I smoked any weed that had any sort of quality control or been regulated in any manner. By your accounts I should probably be dead I guess?
This thread is not for my information to look back on or to be schooled by any of you. This is to show how the process of legalization is working here in WA state for our little tiny company PERIOD! Because I let the sunshine on my plants they will be inferior? Because I have a dog that follows in my footsteps they will be inferior? Get freaking real here people! I am not cutting corners. I am dealing with what we have in the best growing practices that I can manage. I am not trying to tell you how to grow caveman, Mr. Kid or any other swinging dick here. I am simply reporting how we are doing it. I do not frankly give 2 cents about your opinion of my grow, of my abilities, of the quality of my weed, of whether I will fail, succeed or anywhere in between. Please do not read my thread if you are worried I will poison someone with a dog hair. I will continue to post for anyone that cares about how it goes down here and I will learn from my mistakes and my successes what works for us in our particular position and situation just like anyone else here. Every single strain will be quality tested for every 5 lbs of product. My "lax" growing methods will be put to the test then, not by you naysayers who have your own particular way of doing things with the resources you have at your disposal. I do not see anything lax about anything we are doing. We have lovely healthy plants grown as organically as we possibly can. I sure as hell am not running any sort of torture chamber for my plants and their obvious health is all the proof I need. I get it you do it a different way. Who gives a shit? Not me:) I bet at the end of my road I will have a quality product that sells for a reasonable price and that is what my goal is, not to impress anyone on this board. We are not that impressive, I have no illusions to that. But what we do have is the ability to do this in the full light of day and that is exactly what I am doing with my doors open wide to the future of this industry and what I might be able to accomplish in it and it makes me smile a big shit eating grin that can't be wiped off by your warnings. I just got done doing a 3 hour interview with the associated press for a story that will be run on public radio here in WA and OR. They will be coming back after harvest to see how we are doing and that will be public knowledge as well. I am trying to be as transparent as possible. I do not have anything to hide and if I fall flat on my face it is nothing to anyone here. I personally do not think that will be the case however and for me everything is coming along just fine:) Here is another photo of one of my horrendously poisonous plants:)

Local WA resident here, been lurking for a bit watching this thread. First I have to say great job in doing what you're doing. Not many people get the opportunity you have to have such an epic garden. Something really caught my attention though...
You have your operation completely exposed to the elements.. as a larger business I'd hope you'd understand from a consumer standpoint, dirty weed is not good weed.
I noticed there were lab results for some of your products that you processed into oils.
Both of these tested positive for having pentane in them among other unhealthy contaminants. I would never in my life willingly smoke a product known to contain pentane let alone an oil with a residual ppm count so high. I'd honestly be concerned about how pentane managed to contaminate your oil in the first place.
But then your most recent samples are flat out just not tested at all for any kind of contaminant. That's a huge red flag as someone who likes to smoke oil daily.

Those Microbial and pesticide tests are pretty important.
Not trying to rain on your parade too hard.. but you might want to tighten up your quality control there. You boasted you test your products for mold and other contaminants yet I don't see that actually happened. Sorry if this seems personal, but I'm going to treat you like a business since you are one. Quality and cleanliness have to kept a top priority.
the lab results you posted belong to another party

"I think we are going to go with Confidence Analytic s for our testing instead of Analytical 360 wobbly....saw a presentation by them and they seem like a great group to work with so our first test sample will be delivered there on Wednesday and we have our fingers crossed it goes well for us:) The WOW Industries stuff is from a medical grower that I was unaware of when we chose our nameo_O However it turns out I will be reporting back with the final results."
