Consumers’ chief complaints are related to cannabis quality, from crumbly, dry weed, to mildewy or seedy buds.
Due to the state’s colder climate, many growers require indoor growhouses for successful crops, unlike operations in more temperate states like Oregon and Washington, where marijuana crops can largely be grown outdoors.
“Cannabis can be a very fickle plant,” Adams said.
“From the perspective of a grower though, they feel like this encourages them to overdrive the bud, because the more moisture that you leave in it, the more potential there is for the sort of microbial growth that could cause them to flunk the test, which is expensive and leads to a lot of delays.
