It's still a DUI in legal states-no fun either way, eh?

I see cops pulling people over and drug-testing their vape penson LivePD-be careful, Sargeant!

Planning for Efficiency
Efficiency needs to be planned for and incorporated into your facility from the beginning. Cannabis-specific, purpose-built, high-tech green houses will be the industry’s future. They afford the lowest cost of production, and cannabis does very well in greenhouses. But you must incorporate lean processes by using various mechanized technologies to create an efficient workflow:

Proper staging/work areas need mechanized potting machines, conveyor belts to get the plants to desired areas, and moving or rolling aisles that allow maximum access to plants without sacrificing valuable floor space.
Walkie-talkies or another form of communication between employees and management must be utilized to eliminate wasted time walking around looking for workers, tools or information, or to inform the front office when something is out of stock and needs to be ordered.
Inventory tracking is a must, as well. Sending an employee to the store all the time for materials is inefficient. It is best to anticipate when a necessary item will be out of stock, order it and have it delivered whenever possible.
Growers must consider small details such as lunchtimes: How much are you willing to pay to decontaminate every employee two times a day—once every morning and once upon returning from lunch if they left the facility? To do so equals 10 minutes every day per employee, and surely they are making more than $6 per hour. It may be best to provide a comfortable lunch room and encourage employees not to go out to lunch, or better yet, to provide lunch for them.
Energy consumption is pivotal. The more energy you can save, the lower the production cost. Always look for ways to conserve energy. Geographic location will dictate your production cost to some degree, as heating and cooling costs are large expenses in both warehouse and greenhouse production. (Editor’s Note: For more on energy conservation, read “20 Ways to Cut Energy Use,” from CBT’s November issue, available on CannabisBusinessTimes.com.)
Efficient supplemental lighting and light-deprivation methods must be employed in greenhouses. And indoor facilities must utilize correct lighting for each growth stage and cultivation method. Induction and LED lights work great for vegetative growth with minimum energy consumption and don't produce excessive, unnecessary heat. Compact fluorescents should be utilized for cloning purposes. Efficient, double-ended, high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps or plasma lighting should be used for the flowering stage.
High-tech irrigation is rapidly becoming the environmentally correct thing to do and will be a requirement in the future. Choose an irrigation method that is efficient, effective and environmentally sustainable. Choose a system not only with upfront costs in mind, but also with the system’s maintenance in mind. If an irrigation system costs less up front, but frequently clogs or requires excessive maintenance, it ultimately becomes a detriment that costs more than you initially saved.
Build large clone rooms, not lots of little grow trays with domes on top. It is much more efficient to turn a whole room into a purpose-built clone room. The labor it takes to attend to many little clone environments can waste many hours.

This is how we roll in Santa Cruz.

Crab you are right-it is tiring and burdensome to try and guess what is happening. From my experience, it would be safe to assume that there is pending/ongoing clone business. As I mentioned yesterday-clones do not have a long shelf life. The smalls can be rotated to larger rockwool cubes and be destined for teens, but no one wants to throw out viable clone stock, and few actually do.

There will be "growing" pains, and dialing in the cut-to-sale process, but at least we are off and running. Who knows, you may be getting a call from me to buy some clones if you're not careful :)

No kidding! Clones with no homes. I don't even need to doubt it-they have homes. I would be focusing on anything nearby for sales. If I had to knock on doors-whatever it takes. Any distributor wants the low fruit, which is the local local business. The farther you need to go, the more margins shrink. I would hit up EVERY dispensary in the Valley for sales. Here in Santa Cruz, most dispensaries sell clones for 10-15 bucks, more for teens. Bill can offer delivery or a small discount for will-call pick ups. Heck-Uber the darn lil' things.

I think that you would have to be quite the bumbling salesman to be ineffective at selling these clones. Bill needs a lead shark on the sales team-someone who can create the sales infrastructure and enforce it. This is easy pickins-I think it is feasible to get 10 customers a day, every day.

I personally feel that every clone High Hampton buys will be from LVVV/GHC from here to eternity.

I think we coin the phrase,"That cannabis stinks to High Hampton!"

Bmel we all know that the big spikes occur out of nowhere sometimes. If you look at a stock that is up, say 1000% in a year, the rise usually occurred in a handful of days within that year. I hate the Lottery, but you do have to play and be int he game to win. Big things will come-trust me. I don't follow losers.

Bmel this is just part of the list-there are 74 companies left of the original 200+ I began tracking. Many have been culled by going under or being down 90% or more. I keep culling as I go.

My matrix of almost 2 years of tracking-for your consideration :)

I see 10 red radio flyers in single file............with Bill stopping traffic on Harrison Street.

The green area is HH's CoachellaGro (it is/was a palm orchard). Across the street is LVVV.

This should be their highest or second-highest volume day in the trailing 12 months.

JD I think this is one no one is paying attention to. These guys are in bed together, pardon the expression. Huge?? Ah, yeah!!! Added a few 10-packs today. To say that the potential here is anything but massive would indicate knowing little about this teams dynamics.

LVVV was a stake-holder in Mojave Jane. High Hampton buys Mojave and installs MJ's co-founders as CEO and COO of High Hampton. Something much bigger is going on here.

https://highhampton.com/high-hampton-coachella-gro/

Revenue will arrive in Q1 of 2019. Two of High Hampton's current brands, Cali-Gold and Mojave Jane are well recognized for quality and have cleared the State's licensing hurdles and begun operations. Experienced teams are in place and all necessary equipment is already on hand or has been ordered. Both businesses will produce and ship products and deliver revenue in the first quarter of 2019 and show significant growth across the year.

Distribution is next. Bravo, High Hampton's cornerstone distribution business, has made excellent progress toward operations as well. A 15,000 square foot facility is under lease in West Sacramento . The appropriate applications have been submitted, and the facility and the business expect to be licensed in early Q2 and operational in late Q2 of 2019. A proven team with a long history of success in the distribution is in place to navigate the complex distribution regulations, operate the business, and create and maintain market presence and demand. Bravo will, of course, distribute the full line of products from Mojave Jane and CaliGold.

Vertical integration across the portfolio has begun. High Hampton's facility in Cudahy, CA has met its milestones as we close the year. The conditional use permit has been received, along with the crucial development agreement, city permits, and State temporary licenses to operate. Those licenses allow us to build out the Cudahy facility and begin building out expanded manufacturing (Type 7), distribution, product production, and R&D level cultivation to develop and refine specific cannabis strains.

Design and development of CoachellaGro continues. High Hampton's 11-acre property in Coachella, CA received its conditional use permit, allowing design to begin. Additionally, power has been committed to the property on a scale that matches the full buildout plan. Design and development of CoachellaGro are being carried out in a modular fashion to allow High Hampton to respond to the changing market dynamics for flower and bio-mass in California.

2019 will be an active and exciting year. In 2019, High Hampton will secure its complete supply chain from the plant to distillates and concentrates to edibles and flower-based products. Establishing our brands and controlling the distribution of those brands to California's largest markets in the North and the South will provide "touch" from the plant to the consumer. And that level of control and insight will allow us to thrive as the market evolves and keep us in good standing with respect to evolving regulations.

Been telling you guys about HH for awhile-accumulate!!!!!

Relevant and interesting-High Hampton was up 21% yesterday and is up 23% today??? Take notice.

Doh!

She's a comin'...............

Thanks, Brother. Makes sense to me. Bill also stated recently that the build-out in Coachella was going to escalate, and that may include the greenhouses. Seems if you are going into the cloning biz that mother plants would occupy a triple red alert priority in the planning stages. It isn't rocket science, but there are a lot of bases to cover. If all it was was rooting cuttings, everyone would do it.

I think that the cultivation permit in Coachella was reassigned from Ave 48 to the Harrison Street property that Bill got a bit back, across from High Hampton's 10 acre whopper facility in-the-making (BTW HH was up 21% today). Look, Bill's buddies from Mojave Jane are at the helm at High Hampton, so let's not assume, but hope, that LVVV gets to fill that 10 acres out. Why not have a major 7X Pure facility there, too?

Good things are happening in Coachella. I think everyone is exhausted just getting to this point, where we REALLY enter the game-legit and licensed. Imagine how Bill must feel!

Hey what do you call a wet poodle?

A puddle.

Makes sense JD-forgot about that. Time to get a nice delivery truck!

I've grown for over 35 years. I wouldn't take cut a single clone without having orders. LVVV isn't going to divulge to whom they are selling clones to. I GUARANTEEE that these clones are going out to local customers.

"Hey Kyle-go cut a 1000 clones and maybe someone will knock on the back door looking for some......"

Not! The cash register is ringing, boys. 50 clones per sheet, $10 min. per clone. $500 Do the math. And that's for smalls. The teens will command more, maybe $15-17 each. The pods were being ramped up to meet the licensing time-frame. Now achieved, we are legal, legal-and did I say legal?

I see the problem as not having enough mother-plant stock to get cuttings from. Where are the mothers?

My bro is buying shares.

I would assume a state permit for SLO to go along w/ the Coachella state permit. State permits are issued per location, per growing classification.

In ten days-the adventure in San Luis Obispo begins. I am sure that Bill is prepared to hit the ground running-looking for a big ramp up-timing is perfect as San Luis Obispo County is EXPLODING with grow operations. This is almost as much fun as when it was illegal!

Also wouldn't be surprised if High Hampton and LVVV/GHC do something together. Bill's bros are at the helm of HH now, and I expect a few sweetheart deals to come down the pike. Exciting times, to say the least. Time for Bill to expand delegation so he can focus on what is important.

Cream rises to the top.

Jan 18 San Luis Obispo meeting on the slate, boys.

Project Manager: Cassidy McSurdy Recommendation: Approval

http://agenda.slocounty.ca.gov/IIP/sanluisobispo/meeting/Details/1109

3 A request by GHC Ventures, LLC for a Minor Use Permit (DRC2018-00064) to establish a 21,250 square foot indoor cannabis nursery facility on a 219.22-acre parcel. The project includes the conversion of an existing 9,000 square-foot building and an existing 12,250 square foot building to support 10,692 square feet of nursery space and 7,032 square feet of office space. An additional 4,218 square feet will be used for ancillary storage. No site disturbance, changes to the building footprint or architecture are proposed. A modification from the parking standards set forth in Land Use Ordinance Section 22.18.050.C.1 is requested to reduce the required number of parking spaces onsite from 41 to 10. The project site is located within the Agricultural land use category at 655 Almond Drive, approximately 7 miles west of the community of Shandon in the Shandon-Carrizo Sub area North of the North County Planning Area. Also to be considered is the environmental determination that the project is categorically exempt under CEQA, pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15061(b)(2). A Notice of Exemption has been prepared pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15062.

Unsold plants? Assuming there are, use them for more mothers if need be. Small clones can be up-sized to teens. You always keep cycling your smaller clones-either out the door or into the teen room.

Thing is-if they have the clones at this level, rooted, then they HAVE to have someone they are going to. They don't have a long shelf life.

Wonder where the mother plants are? They have to be onsite-Pod? Greenhouse?

Chew crew-lmao! Maybe the new guys will be called the "strain gang".

JD as always spot on. I want LVVV to look as good as I think they are. It will require a salesperson with," A very particular set of skills........". Bill, I am sure, has been fighting a Medusa, and the "sales" arm is just another tentacle. A good sales team is vital in every business. Sometimes the owner of a company can sell the idea, but not the product. Sometimes they can. But let Bill do what he does best, and hand the sales over to qualified personnel. A good product with bad sales staff will always fail, whereas a good sales staff selling a bad product can make a ton of money. Honest, ethical and knowledgeable people whom are also excited about Livewire will fit the "bill" nicely.

Good product+good sales staff=dynamite!

Yes, the need for sales personnel should be posted via the website under "jobs". A tweet like that leaves one with the impression that no sales work is being done. There's only one way to do sales work-do it!

I may today. I'm closing some deals here and hope to fit in time.

JD I'm not sure they even need to hire a team. Outsource the process! Scripts are easy to develop. My phone contact list of temporary CalCannabis permits issued is at 9, 451. Now there are a fair amount of duplicates, as some companies have many permits.

"Hello, Mr. Bud Grower, Todd from Livewire Ergogenics here, I'd like to congratulate your company on attaining your CalCannabis permit. Does your company utilize smaller clones, or do teens fill the bill? OK, great. Our company is a provider of premium clones with many proprietary strains available only from Livewire. I'd like to send you some information listing these exciting strains and follow up in a few weeks with a call to answer any questions you may have.

I'll be sending that information out today-should I send it to you or is there another person handling the clone procurement?

Thank you for your time, and Happy New Year."

Get a 2-3 man team at a call center to go through the list. Build a tickler file and close the deals!

These clones are a easy sell, and if you know growing like I do-you will make friends. The referral business will pick up steam quickly. THAT'S how this will explode. If they have good clones-I mean REALLY good clones-the orders will quickly out-pace supply and the next set of growing pains will begin.

A homemade pie sitting on the window sill gets a lot of attention.

The moving vans should arrive around 10 am to move you to another board.

Forgive the wilting-it's 11 in Coachella today.
