Cannabis companies have to be careful with growing operations

One of my first jobs was toiling for a citrus growing company, then while some companies utilize machinery to pick their crops, I was toiling for a company that still used human hands to pick the oranges from the trees.

I shall never forget the first time I had a single of their oranges right off the tree at peak ripeness.

It was an amazing experience that has not been equal since. Every time I buy citrus from the grocery store, it’s never equal to that same level of freshness I experienced when picking them straight off the tree, but on top of that, sometimes the citrus that you get at the store is unquestionably tangy and sour, and some people appreciate that, however others like me like a nice sweet juicy orange. The last company I worked for was a cannabis growing business. They grew marijuana and sold it to numerous dispensaries in the state. There was a lot of quality control in place to avoid crop loss due to bugs or infestation. More often than not, the reason for crop loss at a marijuana growing facility is mold or what is commonly known as bud rot. If you allow bud rod to spread, it can take out other crops as well. And if you send a batch from a single of those crops to a compliance testing lab, it’s going to test positive for mold. Obviously a batch of cannabis like that can’t be sold to consumers. It’s unquestionably dangerous to inhale mold spores in your lungs, and also dangerous to be heating them up beforehand as well, and you can’t expose cannabis clients to that kind of health risk.
