I would think there is a lot of tension between the dispensary side and the breeding side of an operation like Archive. People buying retail flowers want to buy the names so there is only so much RandomCross#112 you can unload when you're doing selection. You probably have to make oil but the profit is a lot lower than you would get from a well known cut's flowers grown in the same space.
I have thought alot about if i ran a dispensary. It would only carry flowers and water hash. And rosin if i ever try to make that. And edibles too obviously but id like to have a few made in house (depending how the testing difficulty is) rather than the big brands like cheba chew (nothing wrong with them tho).
Only solventless extracts
I wouldnt play the name game. When i name a new cross i use part of the mas name and part of the dads. Idk why people think just making shit up is ok. But whatever thats their deal.
Most of the big name strains have the hype for a reason i think. Any cookie cross ive seen is killer. Gg4 same way. Now dosido....
Id try to have a reputation for the highest grade flowers and accurate naming. Im confident the product would speak for itself. Thats plus making it a chill enviornment with cool people would make it succeed.
If i had the space id totally be chasing the newest fads- dosido at this point in time. But i only run 18 plants per round. Have to keep the tried and true ones going. Plus i cant justify ordering new seeds for every fad because i dont have a dispensary. The people i know are just glad to get high grade flowers from a safe reliable source.
As far as the drama shit talking goes- is it too much to ask for everyone to just do their own thing and stand behind that? Why bash other peoples gear? Its one thing to do a review or a posatively driven critique. Its another to talk shit. Lets be adults folks
