I manage a grow supply store here in northern Michigan and I notice a lot of new customers coming in with the legalization of recreational cannabis. While its great that business expands, I feel a lot of people are going to lose their investment or get a terrible end product. This terrible end product will most likely flood the markets and kill prices for the people trying to survive by selling quality cannabis.
I feel this way because a lot of new people coming in have absolutely no idea how to grow anything, and are even more lost when it comes to growing marijuana. They have not even done a simple google search of 'Basic Indoor Cannabis Setup' or 'Growing Cannabis' or 'Cannabis Grow Guide'. These people raised with screens strapped to their faces have not figured out how to google search?
One customer actually believed it was almost like a fruit you pick from a tree and it regrows. Another had 5 plants in a window planter under a 2 bulb t5 and was pissed when I told them there not going to get what they invested in back. What little that was. People get even more infuriated when I tell them how long it takes to get to harvest.
I also noticed that most weed growers believe they are the best weed growers in their area. A few customers spend as much as the other 95% combine and the lesser 95% all believe they are the biggest fish in the pond. You should always be confident about your product but these guys take it to the extreme.
Is this just my area or is it like this everywhere its legal?
It seems like when it was just medical and illegal growers they appreciated the process more and studied before every decision. Getting hard to see this now. A lot more infected clone trading also, resulting in our pest and disease control sales to rise. Green Cleaner and Root Cleaner selling well.
