How's it out there in Cali? 20 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:12.040 It's beautiful, beautiful sunny weather here. We've had some rain 21 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.760 in the last few weeks and months quite a bit, 22 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:17.959 so it's nice. It's beautiful and sunny. About six foot 23 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:20.000 waves out in the ocean right now, but it's yeah, 24 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.280 it's very pretty like that. 25 00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:23.640 I love hearing that I love hearing that. 26 00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.840 So do you do you yourself consume cannabis or how 27 00:01:27.879 --> 00:01:30.000 long have you been all my industry before you got 28 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:31.560 into the Yeah, coast. 29 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:35.239 I've been smoking since nineteen sixty eight when I unfourtunen, 30 00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:38.000 when I was only fourteen years old, but you know 31 00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:40.560 it was minor back then. I didn't do a lot. 32 00:01:40.599 --> 00:01:43.599 But yeah, I think it was ninety six that we 33 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:48.439 we started growing weed commercially legally for medical you know, 34 00:01:48.519 --> 00:01:53.200 for all the dispensaries down in LA And that's when 35 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.239 we got you know, fairly large, and did that for 36 00:01:56.239 --> 00:01:58.799 a while, and like I said, in twenty seventeen, when 37 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.000 we decided to sell the product, it just took off. 38 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.040 So we were kind of surprised. I'd had the product 39 00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:06.280 for about six years prior, it just didn't sell it. 40 00:02:07.719 --> 00:02:10.039 How did you did you you had You're sorry to 41 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:11.159 mean to cut you up, but you said you had 42 00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.479 you had like six years prior. Right, What how did 43 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:18.759 you start crafting this formula and well using it? Was 44 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.919 it because you battled all these pests consistently in Cali 45 00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.680 like a lot of outdoor grows. It happened, I mean 46 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:26.080 out here in Michigan we got a lot of pottery 47 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.080 mildew and like aphids. 48 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:30.919 Oh yeah, outdoors. So I mean he's got to be 49 00:02:30.919 --> 00:02:31.439 trial and ara. 50 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:33.360 But like, how did you how did you come to 51 00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:34.319 get the concoction that? 52 00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:40.199 Yeah, so back in twenty let's see two thousand, Rather, 53 00:02:41.159 --> 00:02:43.919 we moved from Garbagele area southern humbled up to here, 54 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:47.599 which is about fifty sixty miles north, and we moved 55 00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:51.039 from the interior one hundred and ten degrees to the coast. 56 00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.639 We're about a mile and a half two miles from 57 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:55.599 the coast, and it's pretty much a temperate rainforest here, 58 00:02:55.639 --> 00:02:58.319 so it's sixty five degrees pretty much all year long. 59 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:00.560 They are cold times and just a little bit warmer, 60 00:03:00.599 --> 00:03:03.960 but that's mainly the medium temperature. And I developed powdery 61 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:07.360 mildew and I hadn't had that before, so I was 62 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:12.520 like interesting. So for years I probably used four or 63 00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:17.400 five different organic products in rotation and nothing was working 64 00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:20.439 that well. I wasn't that satisfied with it. Many products 65 00:03:20.439 --> 00:03:22.639 out there, I'm not going to name anything, but many 66 00:03:22.680 --> 00:03:27.879 products out there were changing the torpenal properties of the cannabis. 67 00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.639 So the change and taste was pretty prominent. I had 68 00:03:30.680 --> 00:03:33.840 some specific strains too, and I could tell the difference 69 00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.919 in that wasn't happy with that. So after a while, 70 00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:39.840 I just just said, you know, I've got let's try something. 71 00:03:39.879 --> 00:03:42.159 So my wife and I, who she's also the core 72 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:49.400 co formulator founder of the company. You know, I would 73 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:51.680 do something and I'd feed off of her, So she 74 00:03:51.840 --> 00:03:55.000 was just as important as this whole process as anything else. 75 00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.080 And it took about eighteen months, two years. I killed 76 00:03:58.199 --> 00:04:02.319 hundreds and hundreds of plants, cannabis because I don't you know, 77 00:04:02.360 --> 00:04:04.879 I didn't know what I was doing, and you know, 78 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.159 it took that long. Yeah, it took that long to 79 00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:11.000 formulate it, yep. And then it worked and we were 80 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.560 so happy because we finally had something that was clean, 81 00:04:14.599 --> 00:04:17.160 that you don't need to wear any protective clothing for 82 00:04:18.199 --> 00:04:22.160 and that actually worked. So the f rate of our 83 00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.639 product is ninety five percent, you know, it is not 84 00:04:24.759 --> 00:04:28.040 a one hundred percent product like most products out there, 85 00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:33.319 and just to have that at that rate was enough 86 00:04:33.360 --> 00:04:35.560 to just you know, we were finally we could go 87 00:04:35.600 --> 00:04:37.480 to sleep at night and not worry about the plants. 88 00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:41.839 And that was indoor, greenhouse outside, all the same at 89 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.439 the same time, and so developing at was a big 90 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.879 boon for us. We were making maybe two or three 91 00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.160 gallons a week for us and maybe one or two 92 00:04:52.279 --> 00:04:55.800 close neighbors, and then a few weeks later we started 93 00:04:55.800 --> 00:04:58.160 making more. At about three months later, we were making 94 00:04:58.199 --> 00:04:59.959 thirty or forty gallons a week. And I was making 95 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:02.800 in one of our our horse buckets. You know, I 96 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:04.639 bought it clean one for it. I didn't let the 97 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:08.120 horses drink or eat out of it, and I was 98 00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:10.360 mixing it in that for a while. And you know, 99 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:12.480 we didn't have any bottling or anything, so I would 100 00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:16.879 buy these matt organic mate lemonade, you know, thirty two 101 00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:19.319 ounces from the health food store, and I would use 102 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:22.040 the empties of that for our product. So that was 103 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.800 kind of funny because people still come up to me 104 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.720 and they go, remember these And that's how I originally 105 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:29.079 sold it. And then we started, you know, buying small 106 00:05:29.160 --> 00:05:31.800 quantities of gallons and things like that, and then and 107 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.920 then started selling it, because in the beginning, we didn't 108 00:05:33.920 --> 00:05:36.279 sell it. We just gave it out for quite a while, 109 00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.199 and just because I would, I would make a certain 110 00:05:39.240 --> 00:05:42.959 amount and I had more than I needed, and you know, 111 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:44.920 that's pretty much how it started. But yeah, it was 112 00:05:45.000 --> 00:05:48.720 just a pleasure to be able to spray and anything. 113 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.160 You knew you were doing some good and giving something 114 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:51.920 like that worked. 115 00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.439 You know, you're out, you're helping out growing all around you. 116 00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:55.040 I love that. 117 00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.519 I guess so, I mean, I guess so. But yeah, 118 00:05:59.639 --> 00:06:03.319 it it was definitely a trial in there. And the 119 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:06.639 chemist and the botanist that I refer to now they 120 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:08.600 kind of laughed because you know the way that I 121 00:06:08.639 --> 00:06:10.160 went about it. You know, I did it a lot 122 00:06:10.240 --> 00:06:12.639 longer than I needed to. But I'm not a chemist 123 00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.680 and a botanist, you know, I'm a grower. And also 124 00:06:15.720 --> 00:06:17.600 I'm a rock sculptor. That's how I made my money, 125 00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.959 also sculpting, you know, abstract rock and yeah, and I 126 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:25.000 still do that a little bit, but mainly it's the 127 00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.439 company that's taking all the time, which we love. I mean, Debbie, 128 00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:31.600 my wife is seventy three. I'm seventy, and we want 129 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:33.839 to do this for years to come. But the three 130 00:06:33.959 --> 00:06:36.879 of my adult children in the back, one Blood who 131 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:40.040 was Chloeing, my two step children, Brion Heather, and they're 132 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:44.839 running the company globally. So it's a really nice lean 133 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.240 set up. We built warehouses here on the ranch. We 134 00:06:48.279 --> 00:06:51.360 had state of the art greenhouses here and we did 135 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:54.399 one season of those before the product took off, so 136 00:06:54.439 --> 00:06:57.160 I wasn't able to grow in them very long. They 137 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:00.879 were very expensive, you know, automatic deprivator. There were probably 138 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:04.480 fifty year houses. They were quite quite well built agritech 139 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.000 and I have two small ones twenty four by thirty 140 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.240 six that I kept, but now we just have fruit 141 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.600 trees in them and flowers and I do experiments in 142 00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.360 them occasionally. But let's see where was it going for that? 143 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:17.040 I think can get close to home though, I know 144 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:17.680 you're talking about. 145 00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:19.160 First off, you were talking about we just don't want 146 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.680 to shout out, you know, a shout out to you, 147 00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.480 your wife and your family, because that sounds like. 148 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:23.360 Yeah, oh yeah, the home. 149 00:07:23.439 --> 00:07:26.959 Yeah, sorry brother, Thank you to you guys. I really 150 00:07:27.000 --> 00:07:29.319 appreciate it. I'm like your old grandfather, you know, kind 151 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.839 of remind me of what I'm doing. And I haven't 152 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:37.279 even smoked yet today. I may do it during the podcast. Yeah, 153 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:39.920 so the family doing it. Debbie and I are just 154 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:42.519 you know, we we have people now working with us 155 00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:44.360 and they do a lot of the work now, so 156 00:07:44.399 --> 00:07:46.519 we have more free time just to do the business. 157 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:49.040 And we're probably going to do this for years and years, 158 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:51.519 just because we love doing it. So I open up 159 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.360 states and countries and talk to the people that are 160 00:07:55.360 --> 00:07:59.120 responsible agricultural commissioners or whoever. So I'm having a ball 161 00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:03.439 doing this. That's all. We're in forty five states. We're 162 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:06.360 in forty five states and five continents. The states that 163 00:08:06.360 --> 00:08:08.879 we're not in, yeah, the states that were not in, 164 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:14.600 uh were requiring too much of a label change, which 165 00:08:14.680 --> 00:08:17.079 we did. We did so many iterations of our labels 166 00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:19.639 for Canada, it was like half a dozen. That's what 167 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:22.519 took so long. And in Canada we're called Lost Coast 168 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:25.600 Plant Protector. We're not Lost Coast Plant Therapy. They wouldn't 169 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.439 let us use the word therapy. We had to change 170 00:08:27.519 --> 00:08:30.199 quite a few things on it, which I wasn't happy about, 171 00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:32.879 but we have thousands of growers up there that want 172 00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:35.519 the products, so we complied with that. But the last 173 00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:42.600 vestiges of people holding out are they were New Mexico, Washington, 174 00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:44.960 and Wisconsin. And they took a few years and I 175 00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.320 just told him, you know, f off because they're not 176 00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.440 going to change. But they can't. 177 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:51.440 Oh they did, okay, go. 178 00:08:51.639 --> 00:08:53.840 They did finally came through yeah, and I was born 179 00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:55.559 in New Mexico, so I was really pissed at New 180 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.039 Mexico didn't do it. And I got a call from 181 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.879 the Agricultural Commissioner and he's going, what's going on, And 182 00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.039 I go, well, this is what's happening. We're not going 183 00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:06.440 to change the label because the parameters they're just too much. 184 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.840 You guys are requesting too much. And so a few 185 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:12.679 weeks later, boom we were in. So we're that's the 186 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.480 reason we're not in all the states. I think in 187 00:09:14.600 --> 00:09:17.720 Maine and I can't remember the other ones. Debbie is 188 00:09:17.759 --> 00:09:21.080 responsible for doing that. She's the CFO, my wife of 189 00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.960 the company. And there's two or three states, four or 190 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.799 five states something like that that are just requiring too much, 191 00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:29.279 and they'll just they'll come along, they'll come along. 192 00:09:29.320 --> 00:09:31.879 Every state. Every state is a different compliance, so it's 193 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:32.840 a state things. 194 00:09:32.600 --> 00:09:36.679 Not pretty much. There's handfuls that are very similar that 195 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.320 we didn't have to do anything with, and there were 196 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:41.240 minor adjustments with others, but pretty much all in all, 197 00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:45.320 because we're twenty five be exempt, which is a designation 198 00:09:46.559 --> 00:09:49.039 for the government that says we're so clean that we 199 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:50.759 don't even need to register and. 200 00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:52.679 I want to tie into that. 201 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:53.919 That's the reason why I fell in love with your 202 00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:55.840 product is that it's like one hundred percent of pretty 203 00:09:55.879 --> 00:10:01.279 much organic. Like it's super clean and a grower myself, 204 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:03.519 like being a homegrower, like with all the states going legally, 205 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.120 you're able to cultivate a couple of plants, and this 206 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:07.559 is like a perfect product if you grow organically and 207 00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:10.039 you want to be able to still do i PM management. 208 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:11.759 You want to be able to have some type of 209 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:15.279 spray that doesn't harm your plan or doesn't affect the flavor, 210 00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:18.480 like you were saying the terms, and that's what she 211 00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:20.440 drew me to it. I think it's amazing. That's one 212 00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:22.519 hundred percent organically. I remember we were talking to m 213 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:24.679 J Biscown. You're telling us I want to dive into 214 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:29.759 this a little bit. Uh, Growers, like not cannabis growers, 215 00:10:29.799 --> 00:10:32.720 but like vegetable growers are actually spraying their crops with 216 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.399 this product and then a couple of years of a 217 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:36.080 be able to turn an organic I believe, right. 218 00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:37.559 Is that something we were discussing. 219 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:42.799 We are we are getting into conventional growers and organic growers, 220 00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.159 and we just got into one of the larger vegetable 221 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:49.720 uh and lettuce producers in the United States, Heritage Farms, 222 00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:52.600 and we were so happy and they we did a 223 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:55.399 side by side with them, and I think somebody there 224 00:10:55.480 --> 00:10:57.720 was saying, what is this hippie juice? You know, because 225 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.919 typically a lot of a lot of a lot of 226 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.679 big grows are pretty conservative people and they just, you know, 227 00:11:03.720 --> 00:11:06.360 they're not open to a lot of different things. And 228 00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.480 so only reason we got in was from a mutual 229 00:11:09.519 --> 00:11:11.840 friend of ours who was in the industry. And once 230 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.360 we did it was we just couldn't believe it. And 231 00:11:14.679 --> 00:11:18.320 we didn't actively seek out food producers or flour producers. 232 00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.559 It just came like our way of organically raising the 233 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:25.360 money ourselves with the family and our advertising. And now 234 00:11:25.399 --> 00:11:28.919 we have specially flour producers around the world calling us 235 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:31.799 and using the product and very expensive plants. Some of 236 00:11:31.799 --> 00:11:36.080 the album monsterra is a very rare plant, very expensive, 237 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:39.320 hundreds of dollars for a small plant. We're springing on 238 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:44.200 that on exotics, on orchids, and for years people around 239 00:11:44.240 --> 00:11:46.480 here and Humbled have been using it on their vegetables, 240 00:11:46.559 --> 00:11:50.360 their strawberries. There are a few vintners that are using 241 00:11:50.360 --> 00:11:54.600 it for their vines for wine, and this is going 242 00:11:54.639 --> 00:11:57.039 to you know, dwarf cannabis because you know, there's only 243 00:11:57.080 --> 00:11:59.559 a couple hundred million people I think that consume cannabis 244 00:11:59.600 --> 00:12:01.720 in the world. That could be low or high. I'm 245 00:12:01.759 --> 00:12:04.679 not sure, but you know, all seven point whatever billion 246 00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.000 of us eat. So that's going to be a really 247 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:10.639 big deal getting into the food industry, especially when they 248 00:12:10.679 --> 00:12:14.000 know that, you know, there's no protective clothing needed. You know, 249 00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:15.840 so a lot of these people out in the fields 250 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.480 don't have to dress up in these hazmat suits to 251 00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:20.399 spare a prouct. They still don't know how clean it is. 252 00:12:20.679 --> 00:12:22.759 I have to actually go out there and educate them 253 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.240 on that. And like in Vietnam when we were there, 254 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:28.799 right when we were in Vietnam, they couldn't get the organics. 255 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:32.000 The interpreters couldn't get the organic thing. So I sprayed 256 00:12:32.039 --> 00:12:34.600 it in my mouth and my eyes wide open, and 257 00:12:34.639 --> 00:12:36.960 then I drank drank two ounces. I tell everybody that, 258 00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.919 and so you know, they were a little stounded, stepping back. 259 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.759 It's like, you know, what is this crazy American? But 260 00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:45.279 they finally got it that that's how clean it really is. 261 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.159 Because all of our products, everything in there, the wrong 262 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:51.080 ingredients goes in a human being, are on top of 263 00:12:51.080 --> 00:12:54.360 a human being. Everything, even the isopropyl alcohol we get 264 00:12:54.600 --> 00:12:57.759 we it's we found out some of the same alcohol 265 00:12:57.799 --> 00:13:01.519 that that Whole Foods use is in their baby shampoos 266 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.840 and things like that. So our surfactant is a specialized factant. 267 00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.039 The alcohol, you know, that all goes, the rubbing alcohol 268 00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:12.000 GOLs on top of you. The surfactant goes in toothpaste 269 00:13:12.039 --> 00:13:15.200 and things like that. So essentially everything we have in 270 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.960 there is a food grade product. You know, the the 271 00:13:18.879 --> 00:13:25.320 soybean oil, the citric acid, the soy you know, the 272 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:29.080 the essential peppermint oil, all of it, you know, very organic. 273 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:31.720 We went through quite a few different country companies to 274 00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.679 get what we needed because we were testing to make 275 00:13:34.679 --> 00:13:37.320 sure there were no heavy metals or anything else, and 276 00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:39.919 some organic companies actually fail that, so we had to 277 00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:43.200 especially going into the parts per billion testing when we 278 00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:46.600 went from PPMS to ppbs. Here in California, there are 279 00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.080 a lot of companies that were starting to fail. We've 280 00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.919 even been told by more than a few different extract 281 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:55.559 companies are testing companies that some of the farms that 282 00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:58.039 have just gone to using our product, they've seen an 283 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.440 increase in cannabinoid and herpene numbers. And I tell them, 284 00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:05.559 I go, nothing in our product does that. They've just 285 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:07.399 had an underlying problem. 286 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.600 It could have been the problem, the damage from the 287 00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:12.960 other process that now because your product isn't damaging now, 288 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.639 it's allowing it to become more fruitful. 289 00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:19.279 More fruitful exactly. And our product is a standalone product. 290 00:14:19.320 --> 00:14:21.879 I've had some growers. They're using it for now thirteen years, 291 00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:26.120 nothing else. And it works great in IPM systems. That's 292 00:14:26.159 --> 00:14:29.120 the cool thing. It works because it's hard to change 293 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.519 your IPM even if you're thinking that it works really well. 294 00:14:31.759 --> 00:14:34.919 And when people are still experiencing problems and they're using 295 00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.399 three or four things in their IPM, I just tell 296 00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:39.960 them to go to one quadrant, whether you're forty acres 297 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:42.360 or whether you're you know, five plants, and just go 298 00:14:42.399 --> 00:14:44.559 to one small corner. Just use our product for two 299 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:48.240 or three weeks, and use your IPM system, including ours, 300 00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:51.440 on another and they'll see the difference with their own eyes, 301 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:53.240 because it's hard for people just to go to a 302 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:55.519 single product. And that's, by the way, that's what the 303 00:14:55.639 --> 00:14:58.559 Heritage did. They did a side by side. They saw 304 00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.720 what our product did on a some long ass rows 305 00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:05.519 of lettuce right next to what their IPM was, and 306 00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:09.320 the photos were astoundingly different. We were like, wow, so 307 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:11.840 just recently they just cut off. They don't use any 308 00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:15.600 more inputs. They just used lost cost plant plant there, 309 00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:17.120 which kind of blew my mind. 310 00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:20.759 That's amazing, that's amazing. It stands testament to your product. 311 00:15:21.519 --> 00:15:25.759 So what is what's a good ratio when you're mixing 312 00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:29.360 how many how much should you use if you're doing 313 00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:34.120 say weekly uh sprays, like if like a for homegrowers 314 00:15:34.120 --> 00:15:37.039 for cannabis, like, well, what would you recommendation or cultivators, 315 00:15:37.080 --> 00:15:39.679 like is there any is there certain certain levels you 316 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.480 should go with certain mixture? 317 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:46.399 Yeah? There is. And the thing is that when some 318 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.639 scientists did some experiments with our product with other companies, 319 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.919 they were putting on six ounces per gallon and everything 320 00:15:53.919 --> 00:15:57.240 else failed. They turned to kroduc or chlorodic and died 321 00:15:57.559 --> 00:16:00.440 and our plant was still just blue. So you know, 322 00:16:01.000 --> 00:16:03.279 this wasn't a cannabis planet. It was a periwinkle and 323 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.080 they're very delicate plants, and it was still just it 324 00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:09.519 was incredible. So and this guy developed Safer soap about 325 00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.960 fifty five years ago with a few other scientists. So 326 00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:14.799 doctor Tom Quick, he's a lovely man. I love him 327 00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:18.120 to death. He's very well respected. So I've never talked 328 00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:20.720 to anybody in the world that is used over three 329 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.200 ounces for a few springs at a time. Never, And 330 00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:27.440 that was for really bad infestations, especially of russets and 331 00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.440 root aphids, which are some of the more damaging insects, 332 00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.919 and they take a little bit more intractful, they take 333 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:35.279 a little bit more to get rid of, but our 334 00:16:35.320 --> 00:16:38.080 product will do that. So we start everybody at one 335 00:16:38.080 --> 00:16:42.720 ounce because that's what generally most people use, and per 336 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:47.360 gallon infestation levels you go up to two ounces almost immediately, 337 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:50.639 and if it's really bad, you can do three ounces 338 00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.240 every other day for a week, twice the next week, 339 00:16:53.320 --> 00:16:55.919 once the next week, and then just do a preventative 340 00:16:55.919 --> 00:16:58.759 because the new paradigmond growing not just for cannabis but 341 00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:02.200 for plants around the world because how much the earth 342 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.240 is heated up. Whether people believe it or not, it 343 00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:07.799 has whoever, you know, whatever caused it. You know, everybody 344 00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.559 has their own ideas. But now these blooms of insects 345 00:17:10.559 --> 00:17:13.799 and pathogens are everywhere, and people in the middle of 346 00:17:13.839 --> 00:17:16.160 Alaska's never have never had anything. All of a sudden 347 00:17:16.200 --> 00:17:19.519 they have something. People It just this happened in Europe 348 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:22.680 in a bunch of states. How yeah, how it just 349 00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:27.000 kind of exploded. So generally speaking, one thousand rowers will 350 00:17:27.079 --> 00:17:30.440 use our products seven hundred different ways. And that's not exaggeration. 351 00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.119 Some people have put it on twice three times a day. 352 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:34.680 Because I designed the product. 353 00:17:34.440 --> 00:17:35.599 You can put it that much off the end of 354 00:17:35.599 --> 00:17:36.000 the day. 355 00:17:36.279 --> 00:17:38.359 Well, I've designed it to get off the plant fifteen 356 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:38.960 to twenty minutes. 357 00:17:39.559 --> 00:17:42.240 The only reason evaporates pretty quickly. So, I mean, is 358 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.400 there lots too much? Like is there a way to 359 00:17:44.440 --> 00:17:46.160 like over suffocate the plant? Really? 360 00:17:46.240 --> 00:17:46.920 I mean I know yourself. 361 00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:50.799 No, no, no, The ratio, the ratio when you do 362 00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:53.519 that to a gallon is the numbers are so high. 363 00:17:53.640 --> 00:17:55.680 I don't even need to repeat them. They're so high. 364 00:17:55.839 --> 00:18:00.960 I've spent I've sprayed pure ninety nine percent alcohol on leaves, 365 00:18:01.240 --> 00:18:05.119 on flowers, cannabis food here, but it's sixty sixty five 366 00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:07.240 degrees here on the ocean. You would do that in 367 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:09.440 the interior where it's warm. You kill them. But the 368 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:12.920 alcohol didn't do a damn thing, didn't do anything ninety 369 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:15.519 nine percent pure alcohol. So a lot of people think that, 370 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:17.759 you know, God, the alcohol did this or that. No, 371 00:18:18.160 --> 00:18:20.400 because the amount that's in there when you mix it. 372 00:18:20.440 --> 00:18:23.720 I can't tell you the precise amount, obviously because I 373 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.200 don't want to, but when you do mix it in there, 374 00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:28.960 it's like three or four hundred to one. So it's 375 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:32.440 virtually almost impossible to do that. If something has happened, 376 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:36.920 it's usually end user with using another product that wasn't compatible, 377 00:18:37.160 --> 00:18:40.000 even though the most products are compatible with our product. 378 00:18:40.359 --> 00:18:43.799 But to get back to the quantities to use, most 379 00:18:43.960 --> 00:18:46.279 growers now that don't care about the money, will use 380 00:18:46.319 --> 00:18:48.319 two ounces right away. They don't care, and they'll do 381 00:18:48.359 --> 00:18:51.359 it weekly. You can cut a clone. You could cut 382 00:18:51.359 --> 00:18:53.599 a clone, dip it in our product and put it 383 00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:56.240 in the substrate that you're cloning in. Doesn't matter what 384 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.079 it is, soaking in our product and it won't do 385 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.039 anything to it. You've had people send us videos of 386 00:19:02.200 --> 00:19:05.079 you know, those fifteen one hundred plug clinators that they 387 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:09.160 the roots are suspended. They'll pull those out and spray 388 00:19:09.200 --> 00:19:11.279 them with our product to get rid of rude aphids, 389 00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:14.559 and it won't damage the roots. So that's how benign 390 00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:16.680 it is. That's why it can be used so much. 391 00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:19.279 And I would say half the farms I do go 392 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:22.559 do consulting for use twice as much of our product 393 00:19:22.559 --> 00:19:25.599 than they need to. But as a grower, I understand 394 00:19:25.680 --> 00:19:27.319 they want to sleep at night, they don't want to 395 00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:29.400 have to worry about this shit all the time, so 396 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:30.720 they just go ahead and do it. And I just 397 00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:33.359 tell people, you're putting it on too much. You know, 398 00:19:33.599 --> 00:19:35.640 of course you're not fucking up the plants, you're not 399 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.799 doing anything else, but but you're just, you know, you're 400 00:19:38.839 --> 00:19:40.960 kind of throwing your money away. Like with people that 401 00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.599
