How would you recommend a Dispensary source a quality grower?

Back to the benefits of a performance based employment contract concept.
Price per LB, there are no excuses, the grower is at fault if they cannot produce..
THEY ARE IN CONTROL OF THEIR OWN DESTINY.
Attempt to determine your dispensaries annual cultivation goals and work out a price per lb that is not negotiable.
Then owners cannot complain about paying gardeners more out of their own pocket because everything is based on a production and determined by a tangible substance. If the annual goal is surpassed maybe a bonus is in order but if not, they grower still profits for cultivating more than the business originally anticipated, which benefits both employees and employers.
How many harvested pounds, in an owners eyes, warrants a $50k salary if the contract is not performance based?

Make the six figures growers put their money were their mouth is, im sure the legitimate individuals would step up to the plate and prove their worth.
I dont doubt a retainer would be in effect but just have a lawyer write the contract with teeth so that retainer is only given after an initial goal/trial period is accomplished.


I would not offer anybody even a $50k salary unless they proved they could grow, how are ones abilities even determined at this point in time with the industry uncertainty? Samples? I know of a grower who recently has used another growers work as their own for an head grower interview... They have photos of their own work etc but the tangible product showcased was not theirs.

Price per Lb seems like a much less risky scenario for business owners.

Fair enough.

What do you think is a good compensation on a PER LB basis for a grower who is growing in your facility?

Not sure if Hb and I are saying the same thing but......Strains would be a factor on production i.e blue dream vs slh. Blue dream will blow it out of the water on wieght. Which bud would you rather have? Especially when it comes to the plants that are really good for making medicine which usually are not producers.

I may be wrong but you must take it into consideration motivation to grow/profit vs what the patients/customers needs are. I think you as a business owner will want a variety of medicine that could be limited to only producing plants. In addition take into consideration dirt growers do not produce as much as hydro. Yet dirt makes the best medicines because of the complete ecosystem of microbial life vs just straight nutrients and some added microbes. Mother nature has been doing this for millions of years this way for a reason.

Think about those hydro tomatoes vs a good orgainc one there is no comparison. AT ALL!!! Not to mention how terpines are formed with additional molocules through microbial life. Think vegtable brick levels in hydro vs dirt same type of thing.

So it is not really comparing apples to apples so to speak.

When it is not in our power to determine what is true we ought to follow what is probable.

A growers is a part to the whole. Are the sum of all the parts greater than the whole? I believe so...
Without the parts there is no whole. A whole without parts can not be whole. So what is a whole with no parts?

Nothing like Pure Logic. Whether fact or imagined, logic is critical. Without thought actions could never happen.

The cost to grow strain A is the same as growing strain B...

Do the math.
This could not be further from the truth.

Tempe420 - don't listen to most of these guys. Personified seems to have it right but please understand these forums are littered with bedroom growing "activists" who think 8week veg time and 6-10oz plants play a role in commercial cultivation.

I have followed you guys on FB for awhile under your new biz name and previous. You guys are clearly growing dank. Just take what you've been doing and do more of it. Keep it simple.

I've met a few guys from this forum that are legit. They rarely post. I think they would be great additions to a real commercial grow. Check your inbox.

Seriously...

This is getting redundant... No attacks just want to hear the truth for once. Still waiting to see this 12k Genetic Tester room.

I wouldn't trust LVs definition of "dank" but you guys seem to be on the right path to success. Oddly enough I have to agree with LV with saying, KEEP IT SIMPLE. Honestly that is key to growing superb quality medicine at a commercial level.

P.s. can you show me a 6-10 oz plant that you have EVER grown LV? I can show you 16-32 of these ladies every month with only 32 days of veg. Please show us your half pound plants...not half oz.

I don't grow plants that size, as I just alluded to. Try and stick with the thread.

I shoot for a 2z per plant yield and run a 2 week veg.

Whatever works for you works for you. I have no desire to have a pecked contest on the Internet and I've never claimed to be the bees knees as a grower. I've got some things figured out in the past 3yrs and I think I'm ok ;)

Damn 2oz? I get that off of a clone with 3 days veg. Anyone willing to listen to your bs is a complete illiterate. Honestly I don't see you doing anything more then cleaning toilets at a dispensary. By your attitude and you being full of shit, that might make that the best position possible for you.

Commercial growing is as easy or as hard as you are willing to make it. Keep it simple and you will flourish, plain and simple. I have helped almost 100 patients and over 25 caregivers in the valley, set up grow operations and obtain quality genetics. Every single one has been successful and I am proud to say it was all because of me. With experience and basic knowledge of controlled agriculture, you shouldn't have any problems. If you ever need input or willing to trade for genetics I'm always willing to help. Patients in this state deserve the best and if I can't provide it I will be helping whomever can be successful.

(No offense personified...)

And I'm so glad you know all of us "bedroom growers."
You obviously have no idea what's going on in the valley and up north you hillbilly fuck.
I know exactly who you are referring to when you say "they rarely post" and you are just another clown who has been taken by a talker. I don't care to elaborate but I will if it comes down to it.
Next you will say you have seen their grow and it was the Mecca of grow rooms, I'm calling it now..

Go find another forum to pollute, there was actually some good information being thrown around the last few days because you were not here to fuck it up with some stupid garbage. You have succeeded in officially making this forum suck; I commend you..

Death to Dispensaries. I see failure, death and destruction in their future.

What makes you say this exactly? At the Farmers Market this weekend we took a random poll and it showed overwhelmingly folks were looking forward to them.

Because just about everyone on this site is a "home grower" and this will take away their cultivation rights.

From whom may I ask?

I, amongst many were at the market and were not asked such a question...

We had a girl there with a clipboard and ended up asking 100 people. The feeling was overwhelmingly yes they were excited Dispensaries are opening.

Obviously a good point was raised above by "Beaverhunter" and that this site is mostly home growers so that makes sense most would prefer no Dispensaries open.

We would love to connect with some of the better home growers in the Metro area and see about giving them some full time work doing what they love. We have so far scheduled meetings with 3 so i'm pretty hopeful that might come to fruition.
