First or favorite tattoos?
I am covered in tattoos but I’d have to say my favorite is the one on my right calf. It’s a portrait of my grandfather, he was my biggest support and influencer and taught me what hard work is. He always pushed me to chase my dreams and to work hard for it and never expect anyone but me to get me there.
Preferred consumption method?
Definitely Flower, I dabble in it all but to me nothing beats a nice hand rolled doob in a Ultra Thin Zig Zag paper. I am a master at hand rolling joints and I take pride in doing so.
Favorite quote?
I have a few but we’ll stick to one related to the industry “You’re only as good as your last harvest.”
Pet peeves?
I’d say my biggest one is entitled lazy workers or people in general. I live with the mindset that nobody owes me anything and if I want to be something or what something out of life I have to go and get it myself. I was one of these types of people most of my life until about 12 years ago. It held me back from my full potential, I missed out on so much because of it and now that I realize it I’m on a mission to prove to myself what I am capable of.
Typical wardrobe or wardrobe staple?
HAHAHA I feel like I’ve dressed the same for the past 20 years. So one of my really good friends works for HURLEY and I honestly think that’s about all I wear because I have literally hundreds maybe even thousands of Hurley outfits. The even better part is it was all free to me, one of my good buddies works there and gets me hooked up. I get boxes of clothes sent to me a few times a year. I’m talking Hats, Shirts, Shorts, Jeans, Shoes, Hoodies you name it, swim wear. I think more then half of it all still has tags on them and have yet to be worn. ( I always tell people I’m sponsored by them LOL.
Enjoys long walks on the beach and…
Outside of work I’m pretty chill. I enjoy being outdoors and on or near water. I have been a Techno DJ for over 20 years so I like spending time in my studio at home playing on my turntables. I have 2 younger kids 9 and 11, so I spend most of my time with them and getting them to all their sporting events. Any other free time I spend with my girlfriend and our dog at our house on our property. Yard work takes up a lot of our time as well.
If you could only have 3 items (growing related or non) on a deserted island what would they be?
If I only could have 3 items on a deserted island what would they be: Well I would say my girlfriend our kids and some fire cannabis, the rest of the stuff we would need I would find or make or hunt. I’d like to say my homies some fire weed but we’ll keep it professional LOL.
What era should you have been born into?
I’m going to have to say pre 60’s. People were more rough around the edges then and spoke their minds and worked hard and earned everything they had back then. I’m not much of a sugar coater and at times it’s a bit much for people and feelings get hurt. I just feel people are too soft these days and that’s not me.
Describe your ideal Saturday
I would want to be on a boat on my favorite Michigan lake (Higgins Lake) with my favorite peeps jamming some music hammering some beers back and smoking big doobs, laughing and getting sun burnt.
Wildest thing about you?
Geez putting my mind to work on this one. I don’t know I would say that with all the egos in my industry I’m a very humble guy that just wants to provide the best products to the consumers and I don’t really put myself out there much to the general public. A lot of people know who I am and what Im doing but I’m not out here boasting about myself or acting like I’m the best. I’m just trying to learn everything I can and prefect my craft. I don’t care about clout, none of that is going to put my kids through collage or set them up when I’m gone. It’s awesome to know people see me out here grinding and I’ve made a name for myself, but at the end of the day none of that means much to me.
If your best friend were to describe you in 3 words, what would they be?
HAHAHA This is a good one: So I actually hit up one of my best friends and asked him the 3 he would use and he said….. Outgoing, funny and hardworking.
What made you choose to use FloraSeries?
Well as I think I told you on the phone, I had been using Botanicare pro line for the past 10 years. It is the best on the market in my opinion. When I came over to Harbor Farmz they purchased a Rhythm watering system. I was super concerned plugging up the system with some of the additives of botanicare. So I started thinking of what I could use instead and I remember how much I love using the general hydroponics before I was introduced to Botanicare. It’s the closest I’ve found to botanicare at a third of the cost as well. So yeah that’s what made me choose the General Hydroponics.
Why do you love FloraSeries?
Well they were growing in living soil here when I started and I wasn’t a fan of the quality nor the flavor of the flower! I’m a bit of a weed snob so if something doesn’t taste good I wont smoke it. Our flower now like I stated in the last question taste way better!!! Not only can we now taste the strains own unique flavor but the tricombs are out of this world but we are seeing better testing results in our thc percentages and our terpene percentages have gone up as well.
Who would you recommend FloraSeries to?
To be honest, anyone that ask me what I think they should be using. Even when I was using botanicare all those years I would tell people to try out the floraseries. Not only does it grow great flower its very cost effective and although I know its basically a liquid salt, powder salts don’t even compare to it or even come close in my opinion.
How many gallons of ready to feed nutrient solution do you use per day?
26.70 gallons to be exact.
Why did you choose a water soluble fertilizer?
Most efficient for a commercial cultivation.
What’s the most important part of picking a nutrient?
I would say making sure it works with your growing methods and what you’re growing in. If the nutrient is made for growing in Hydro only and you grow in soil you wouldn’t want to use that one. You can catch my drift.
What is more important to you? Cost or precision?
I’m 100% going to say precision all day! Without precision it will always cost you more in the end. As much as I thrive on working below my budget I will always take quality over cost. My goal is to always put one of the best products on the market and in peoples hands.
Do you use any supplements? If so, what do you use and why?
Really the only supplement I use is the floralicious and I’ll also be adding bat guano very soon here. I use those because I believe the floralicious adds ever more to the flavor to the finished product and the guano adds to the bulkiness of the flower. Beyond that nothing else besides the flora 3 part and calmag. I like to stick with the K.I.S.S. acronym…. Keep it simple stupid..If you stick to the basics of growing and feeding your plants and actually know how to grow there’s no other better way to grow in my opinion.
