And im extremely picky and a snob , more than I like to admit sometimes
10 week flower times cost you a full flip a year and with rooms that pull in $80-$120,000 cash every flip, that's a lot of cash, especially when you have 20 rooms side by side, $2million bucks a year difference in the bottom line. At the wholesale level the price is all the same for 8-9 week strains as it is for 10-12 week strains, $2400 bucks and they do not care how long it took you to grow it or how much additional expense you have in the product...right now I see the biggest difference being the trim, same plant hand trimmed looks like high def super weed suitable for calenders and cup wins, but running it thru a automatic trimmer and it starts to lack the same appeal..the problem becomes the ability to hand trim 60-100lbs every Monday, week in week out, not really a way to do it with hand trimmers..you have to hire 100 for every 10 you want to show up and even then its hard to keep good trimmers on their game..probably the most inconsistant unreliable non work ethic group of folks you will every see..
+1the problem with trimmers reminds me of why so many immigrants are demanded in agriculture and other industrial jobs

I don't think it's just work ethic among trimmers...It's work ethic among the unemployed that have time to trim (your not usually hiring already employed people, so in a sense you are already drawing from the bottom of the labor pool). Then the nature of repetitive tasks, low pay and normal working hours also lends itself to the immigrant worker, while the unemployed American debates if it's worth his time at $10-12/hr and sluggishly makes his way at a 10 man/hr pound. While Jose over there is starting into pound number 3 after ten hours (and happy he's got a kush job indoors out of the summer heat)....
"Thank you Jesus for the food we are about to receive."
"De nada."
I understand the compassion in your assumption, I am going to assume we would still be treated worse there....It's kind of fucked up thinking that all immigrant workers think our shit jobs are "kush" jobs. Most immigrants will tell you they would have never of come here if they knew the reality of American life.

Something along the lines of "I would rather be treated like shit from people I don't understand and don't look like me" my father
best fuckin analogy I ever seen put to print on the biz. TK, does the potency change not matter in the pricing from a 8 weeker to a 12 weeker ever?10 week flower times cost you a full flip a year and with rooms that pull in $80-$120,000 cash every flip, that's a lot of cash, especially when you have 20 rooms side by side, $2million bucks a year difference in the bottom line.

I guess we worked with different Central and South Americans...I talked to all in my kitchen experience, not one said they'd rather be slaving back home.It's kind of fucked up thinking that all immigrant workers think our shit jobs are "kush" jobs.

Well you did go into the restaurant game. With a failure rate that would rival venture capital investing. Perhaps you should blame the invisible hand of economics and free trade instead of people.I owned a restaurant for many years. ...I employed whoever would take the job, but everyone eventually would leave because I couldn't afford to pay more than 12/hour and no one can live on 12/hour.. I only blame our society as a whole for these problems.
