Will Pinconning be the New Weed Capital of Michigan? - by Kathy Hess

     On January 10th, earlier this year, Pinconning Townships, Bay County, board members voted 5 yeas/0 nays on Ordinance No. 17-01, to authorize permits for commercial medical marijuana facilities within the township.

     An Ordinance to implement the provisions of the Michigan Marihuana Facilities Licensing Act, Public Act 281 of 2016, which authorizes the licensing and regulation of Commercial Medical Marihuana Facilities […] and to regulate the cultivation, distribution and use of Medical Marihuana permitted under the Michigan Medical Marihuana Act, Initiated Law I of 2008 in order to maintain the public health, safety and welfare of the residents and visitors to the Township. Does this mean that the Pinconning Township is going to be the weed capitol of Michigan?

     Not likely.  Pinconning is not the first Township or City to enact legislation allowing for the licensing of commercial medical marihuana facilities, although they are the most recently known.  Each city/township has the ability to dictate whether they will, or not, allow for commercial medical marihuana facilities, the number of facilities within city/town lines and the number of plants each facility is allowed to farm. 

     Pinconning is no different, although it’s Ordinance No. 17-01 would suggest that it plans on being able to provide to its local population, which is great, but it’s not looking to be the Marijuana Mecca of Michigan.

     Pinconning has limited their number of facilities to 25, but more importantly they have deemed that only Class A licenses will be allowed.  Class A license dictates that only a maximum of 500 plants will be allowed in each facility.  If Pinconning had dreams of capitalizing on a booming market, perhaps draw in the bigger sharks waiting to eat up the commercial medical marijuana industry, they might have chosen to allow for Class B, which can possess up to 1,000 plants, or Class C, farming up to 1,500.

     Municipalities are gradually acting towards the next era of medical marijuana in Michigan and preparing to go commercial. And while the state won’t be accepting applications for commercial licenses until December 15th 2017, cities, and townships like Pinconning, are opening their doors to entrepreneurs already prepared for the next period of medicinal cannabis in the mitten. 
If you’re wondering if you could be one of those tycoons ready to jump a head of the commercial pack be sure to have an understanding of Public Act 281 of 2016, MCL 333.27101.

     The Medical Marijuana Facilities Licensing Act orders municipalities to establish and permit ordinances concerning the establishment and process of medical marijuana facilities in their individual communities before the state will grant license to facilities there.  This does not mean that cities have to allow permits for commercial medical marijuana, it just means that local governments have to already have created ordinances that allow for commercial permits before one can apply for commercial license from the state. In this case, Pinconning is allowing annual permits for Class A commercial facilities only.

     All commercial medical marijuana facilities must be licensed by the state of Michigan.  All marijuana is to be tracked, all inventory, from seed to sale, with systems that allow for real time updates to the state.  All marijuana is to be tested for safety. 
There are five types of licenses which Act 281 outlines and each municipality can dictate how many of each, if any, they will allow:

Grower-- Which gets divided by class, Class A (up to 500), Class B (up to 1000), Class C (up to 1,500) —“A licensee that is a commercial entity located in this State that cultivates, dries, trims,  or cures and packages marihuana for sale to a processor or provisioning center.”  Pinconning is allowing up to 25 of Grower permits.

Processor—“A licensee that is a commercial entity located in this State that purchases marihuana from a grower  and that extracts resin from the marihuana or creates a marihuana infused product for sale and transfer in  packaged form to a provisioning center.”  Pinconning is allowing up to 25 of Processor permits.

Provisioning Center—“A licensee that is a commercial entity located in this State that purchases marihuana  from a grower or processor and sells, supplies, or provides marihuana to registered qualifying patients, directly  or through their registered primary caregivers. The term includes any commercial property where marihuana is  sold at retail to registered qualifying patients or registered primary caregivers.

     A noncommercial location used  by a primary caregiver to assist a qualifying patient connected to the caregiver through the marihuana  registration process of the Department of Licensing and Regulation in accordance with the Michigan Medical  Marihuana Act will not be a provisioning center for purposes of the Licensing Act.”  Pinconning is allowing for 10 Provisioning Center permits.

Secure Transporter—“A licensee that is a commercial entity located in this State that stores marihuana and  transports it between marihuana facilities for a fee.”  Pinconning is allowing up to 4 Transporter permits.

Safety Compliance Facility—“A licensee that is a commercial entity that receives marihuana from a marihuana  facility or registered primary caregiver, tests it for contaminants and for tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other  cannabinoids, returns the test results, and may return the marihuana to the facility.” Pinconning is allowing for up to 2 Safety and Compliance Facility permits.

UPCOMING V.G.I.P. MEETINGS

     Ben Horner, owner of Michigan Organic Solutions, opened the first medical marijuana clinic in Flint over six years ago, which continues to operate successfully. He has helped pass the Flint Ordinance for Provisioning Centers, and wants to help others do the same in their communities. 

Over the last five years the VGIP has worked hard on petitions for Flint, Saginaw, Ferndale, Ypsilanti, Lansing, Oak Park, Gaylord and other city to pass local laws to decriminalize cannabis and regulate medical marijuana. Many of the local leaders that went on lead local campaigns were recruited at these VGIP meetings.
We are excited about the possibility of legalizing cannabis in Michigan in 2018.      

     We want to invite everyone to participate in the Vote Green Initiative Project. There are three groups discussing legalization initiatives and several groups lobbying Lansing. Big money has shown that they are ready to embrace marijuana here in Michigan. How will that play out for the common caregiver that makes a modest living in Michigan growing cannabis?

     Our meetings typically last about two hours and are packed with information on how to be a better safer cannabis activist, grower, business owner and everyday consumer. These VGIP meetings are free to attend and are strictly informational. Find out what they don’t want you to know and unlock the secrets of the Michigan Marijuana Movement!

Cannabis Shelter

England: A Regional Government Headquarters in Chilmark, Wiltshire was originally intended to be an underground bunker for government officials and dignitaries in the event of a nuclear attack when it was constructed in the 1980’s. Since then, the Ministry of Defense has sold the property with the bunker and nuclear blast doors still intact.

     A raid recently conducted at the property found the 2 story, 20 room building to be completely full of marijuana. Law enforcement had to wait outside the shelter for someone from inside to leave as the doors were completely impenetrable. Three men were arrested when they left the building and officers used their keys to enter where they found three more men inside. The ages of the six men ranged from 15 to 45 years old. 

     Officers stated, “Almost every single room had been converted for the wholesale production of cannabis plants, and there was a large amount of evidence of previous crops. This was an enormous set-up. At this early stage of the investigation it is almost impossible to work out how many plants are inside, but we are talking thousands rather than hundreds, and we would estimate the value of the crop at over £1 million. I am convinced it is one of the largest crops ever discovered in Wiltshire.”

     The three men found inside the bunker were arrested on suspicion of cannabis production, while the three men arrested outside the compound have been arrested on suspicion of cannabis production and human trafficking.


Don’t Run Checkpoints

Italy: Police in Co Laois found marijuana worth more than €250,000 during a traffic stop last month. The vehicle had attempted to bypass a multi-agency checkpoint set up by Revenue and Customs officers, the Road Safety Authority, and police. When searched officers found large garbage bags filled with bricks of marijuana which were being transported across the county. The 30 year old man driving the car was the sole occupant and is being held at Portlaoise Garda Station until a forensic examination of the car is complete.

Canna Dough

Dubai: A woman from Nigeria and a local man lost an appeal in criminal court and have each been sentenced to 10 years and a Dhs 50,000 fine, which will subsequently be followed by deportation for the woman. The woman was found to be smuggling 5kg of marijuana hidden in dough. She was apprehended as soon as she arrived at the Dubai International Airport, while the man was arrested after standing in the Hamdan area for more than 5hours, apparently waiting for the woman. The female acknowledged the bag was hers, but denied knowing what was in it, claiming someone “tasked her with delivering the bag and its contents.” The man claimed he was waiting for the woman to deliver the hashish, which he would take to an unnamed third party dealer. Both parties will attempt to file another appeal.

Marijuana Mail

Spain: Five people, aged 31 to 58 from Ireland, Spain, Holland, and Morocco, have been arrested in connection with an international marijuana ring. The suspects are believed to have been sending marijuana through the mail to people in Germany, Holland, and Great Britain. The arrests came after officers found a cannabis farm with nearly 1,000 plants inside. Documentation found at the scene told police who was in charge of running the grow operation. A joint operation by the Civil Guard and National Police found the farm members at various hideouts, which turned up more plants and packages ready to be shipped. An investigation is ongoing.

Grow Home

England: An officer from Durham Constabulary spoke to the Chronicle Live about a recent raid which contained the biggest in-home grow operation he has seen in his career. Police from his unit executed a warrant on a house in Bishop Auckland due to intelligence information “suggesting the property was being used for the cultivation of drugs”.

     When law enforcement entered the home they found all four bedrooms converted into a large grow operation. Roughly 300 marijuana plants, in various stages of growth, were removed from the home. They also found about 50 electrical junction boxes being used, with exposed wires running throughout the building. One man was arrested in connection with the plants and has been charged for drug offenses. Inspector Andy Reeves said, “This is the biggest cannabis grow I have seen in my police service. It appears to be a very professional set-up and I am really pleased we have been able to stop these drugs circulating in the area.”

Drug Rates Increase in Ireland

Ireland: A new study released by the NACDA (National Advisory Committee on Drugs and Alcohol), a cross-border government agency, has found that the use of illegal substances in Ireland has increased since 2010/2011. The agency polled 9,505 residents from both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and recorded their use of illegal drugs, prescription medication, alcohol, and gambling.

     The report found that cannabis was the most commonly used illegal drug across every region, with numbers that have increased since a 2010/2011 study. The use of ecstasy and antidepressants has increased in many southern regions. Professor Catherine Comiskey, Minister for the NACDA, said of the report, “A comparison of the 2014/15 figures with the 2010/11 figures shows an overall increase in recent and current use of cannabis, ecstasy and anti-depressants in many regions.” She hopes to bring a new National Drugs Strategy before the government by the end of March, using the new study to strengthen support for the policy.

Large Haul for Customs

China: A 23 year old man from Hong Kong, a territory in southeastern China, was arrested last month when Customs found 3.2 kilograms (7lbs) of marijuana in two privately owned vehicles. Another small amount of cannabis was found at the man’s residence where a 56 year old was found in possession and arrested. Officers estimate the seizure to be worth at least HK$625,000 ($80,526USD). Both men are being detained while an investigation is underway.

Cali MJ Patient Arrested in Texas
Texas: A man from California was arrested in Texas for carrying his medical marijuana into the state. Phillip Blanton was on his way to visit his granddaughter in a Houston hospital when he was pulled over. Texas does allow for the use of medical marijuana, but only for patients with a rare form of epilepsy. Blanton was given his prescription in his home state for chronic pain he still suffers as a survivor of polio. This case brings light to the conflicting laws between states regarding medical marijuana. Authorities in the case are still determining whether charges will be sought against Blanton.

Contaminated Cannabis
California: Researchers in Northern California gathered various marijuana strains from different dispensaries in the area to test for safety. The results are worrisome for medical patients with compromised immune systems as nearly 20 of the strains tested were found to contain mold and bacteria. The fungi and bacteria found consisted of Cryptococcus, Mucor and Aspergillus, E. coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Acinetobacter baumannii. Researchers warn that inhaling these pathogens can lead to serious illness or death because it “provides a direct portal of entry deep into the lungs, where infection can easily take hold.” Though the samples were gathered only from Northern Cali dispensaries, officials warn the problem may be more widespread, not only in California but in other legalized states as well.

States with Recreational Marijuana Will Start Seeing Federal Meddling
Washington DC: Many voters have been waiting to hear the new White House administration’s stance on recreational and medical marijuana. Late last month press secretary Sean Spicer clarified that stance releasing a statement that [the White House] expects law enforcement agents to enforce federal marijuana laws when they have a conflict in a legalized state. Spicer stating at a press conference, “I do believe you will see greater enforcement of it.” The Obama administration took a very different stance, releasing a memo informing agencies to not interfere with states that have legalized the plant, saying there are “bigger fish to fry”. Spicer mentioned in his statement that marijuana use is linked to widespread painkiller use, which is becoming an epidemic in our country.

     CNN got a quote from Spicer stating, “When you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country, the last thing we should be doing is encouraging people. There is still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and drugs of that nature.” He did distinguish that there is a difference between medical and recreational use, acknowledging President Trump’s belief that medical marijuana can help “ease the suffering for patients with terminal illness”. Originally Trump stated in his 2016 campaign that legal recreational use was “bad”, but later suggested it should be decided by the states rather than the federal government. Unfortunately, after Spicer’s comments, states with legal recreational use could start seeing a larger amount of federal interference.

Speeding Stop Yields 18 Lbs.
Tennessee: Officers found a large stash of marijuana after pulling over a man for speeding last month. Sedrick Talley was pulled over by an officer from the Metro Nashville Police Department for driving 20 miles per hour over the posted speed limit. Police claim they could smell marijuana while walking up to the vehicle and discovered a joint near the gear shift. Talley was placed under arrest while the rest of his vehicle was searched. Officers found nearly 18 pounds of marijuana in a large garbage bag in the trunk of the car. Talley will face multiple charges for transporting the dried flowers.

Strict Possession Limits – Most Unique Restrictions in the Country
Ohio: Ohio’s new medical marijuana law allows for patients to become certified if they qualify for one of twenty approved conditions. While twenty qualifying conditions is more than many states, the proposed limits on the amount of marijuana a patient can possess could end up being the strictest in the country. The state does not allow for smoking the plant but dispensaries are able to sell plant material and oils which may be vaporized, as well as patches, tinctures, and edibles. The limit proposal suggests the amount a patient may possess; a 90-day supply, which will be defined by the amount of THC in the product.

     Ohio will be the first state to measure medication limits this way. According to Cleveland.com, the executive director of the State Board of Pharmacy told the Ohio Medical Marijuana Advisory Committee, “I think this is the right approach because we’re in the middle of the pack of states that have adopted this. We’ve benefited from what other states have done and have the benefit of their successes and failures.” Patients will be allowed to mix and match their products but the THC may not exceed the set 90-day supply.

    The limits are as follows: 6 ounces of plant material with THC levels below 23 percent, 4 ounces of plant material with THC levels above 23 percent -- the maximum level allowed is 35 percent, 40.5 grams of THC in vaping oils (220 mg per day), 19.8 grams of THC in transdermal patches (450mg per day), and 9 grams of THC in edibles, oils and tinctures taken orally (100 mg per day). Patients can submit their comments on the new rules until March 10th when they will have to go through two more stages until they are finalized. 

Marijuana Finally Allowed for Pain Management in NY
New York: Numerous studies have been published about the effects of marijuana in dealing with pain. THC has been shown to lower the pain levels in nearly everyone who used it medicinally. These pain-reducing effects may be helping to curb the opioid epidemic that has been sweeping the country according to new research. A study from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health conducted in 2016 has found that states with medical marijuana laws had about 25 percent fewer opioid overdose deaths than states with no marijuana laws. Health Affairs printed a study last year claiming prescriptions for opioid based painkillers dropped “substantially” in states with a medical marijuana program.

     New York recently began allowing patients suffering from chronic pain to be approved for medical marijuana, so long as other courses of action were unsuccessful. Originally New York, as well as other states such as Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, and New Hampshire, did not include pain as a condition for a medical card as there were concerns the category was too broad. Many physicians in the area are skeptical of allowing patients to get their marijuana card for pain as they tend to advocate for all non-drug treatments before resorting to drug treatments, including marijuana.

      As marijuana is still considered a schedule I drug, the access to legal marijuana to use for medical studies and federal funds to conduct the research are extremely limited. This has made it difficult for states like New York to refer to scientific studies when determining which ailments should be added to their list of qualifying conditions.

New Polls Shows Slightly Increased Support for Legalization
Lansing: A new poll released by EPIC-MRA (Educational, Political, Industrial, and Consumer Market Research Analysis) shows a four point increase in support of marijuana legalization. The poll was conducted in January and February 2017 and shows 57 percent of the 600 people questioned would definitely vote yes, probably vote yes, or lean toward voting yes if a marijuana legalization proposal was on the ballot. MI Legalize 2018 is thrilled with the results.

    The survey found that younger voters were the most supportive (78 percent), while democratic women were found to be second most supportive (75 percent). Republican women were more opposed to legalization than Republican men (61 percent and 50 percent respectively). Looking back at previous similar polls shows the numbers of approval have increased. In March 2016 only 53 percent of voters were supportive of recreational legalization, and only 50 percent agreed with legalization in December of 2014.

     A statement released by EPIC-MRA after the poll says, “Clearly, support for the legalization and taxation of marijuana continues to increase over time, and if enough valid petition signatures are collected to require the proposal to be placed on the ballot in 2018, younger voters would likely be very motivated to participate in the election to offer their strong support for the proposal.” A petition drive to legalize recreational marijuana by MI Legalize 2018 is currently underway.

Medical Marijuana Funds Police
Lansing: Fees paid by medical marijuana patients to Lansing will help to pay for officers in Ingham County to be able to better enforce the laws. The state granted the county $112,681 through the Medical Marihuana Operation and Oversight Program. The money will be used to buy 23 stun guns, chemical identifier equipment, two trailers, and overtime for officers working to enforce medical marijuana laws.

     The chemical identifier is a handheld device which is able to identify narcotics at the scene. The Tasers will be given to every field officer for protection. The money is only a small part of the $3 million collected by the state which will be distributed to counties for “education, communication, and enforcement” of the medical laws. Grant amounts are determined by the number of registry cards issued or renewed in the specific county in the previous year. Last year only 18 of the 83 counties applied for the grant money.

Don’t Buy or Sell Weed on Craigslist!
Corunna: A Craigslist drug deal ended with two men in prison and two others dead last month. 31 year old Otis Smith and 23 year old Anthony Holloway were arraigned last month on charges of felony murder, armed robbery, and conspiracy. The men met with 31 year old Joseph Carson and 39 year old Anthony Hammond for a marijuana sale they had set up through Craigslist in Caledonia Township. Smith and Holloway robbed both men before shooting them from the backseat of the vehicle. The bodies were found in the car outside of a local Wal-Mart. Smith will have a court appointed attorney while Holloway will be providing his own.

Religious Growing?
Lansing: Last month, the federal appeals court in Lansing upheld an 18 month prison sentence imposed on Brendan Barnes for growing marijuana in his home. Police found Barnes’ grow in 2014 when responding to a call about a gas leak. Barnes claimed the 321 plants found in his home were being grown under a religious exemption.

Brendan paid $25 for a membership to the Oklevueha Native American Church and another $200 to possess religious sacraments (marijuana). The court, however, found that “Barnes’ belief in marijuana appears to be a personal one, not one rooted in religion.” The court determined that Barnes’ actions were illegal as there is no requirement to grow marijuana and donate it to the church to be a member.

Medicating on Probation
Bay City: A Bay City attorney is fighting to be able to use his medication while on probation. Edward Czuprynski was found guilty of a moving violation causing serious bodily impairment and sentenced to 18months probation. The probation included no possessing alcohol, being in bar, or using medical marijuana, which Czuprynski has a patient card for. The judge told Czuprynski he would consider allowing the use of his medication if he could prove to the court his need for it. This month Czuprynski filed two motions regarding his cannabis use arguing that “depriving him the use of marijuana would amount to an unlawful impingement on the privacy inherent in a physician-patient relationship.”

Czuprynski claims that he uses marijuana for “severe, chronic pain due to a gradually worsening arthritic condition in his groin and hips, a hereditary condition that runs in his family.” Furthermore, claims Czupyrnski, the Judge cannot ban him from using his medication as the charge against him did not involve the drug. A hearing on the matter is expected Feb. 22nd in front of Judge Jurrens.

Follow Grow Laws: The Real Story
Beaver Township: Last month we reported on two men who were arrested for an illegal grow operation. It was reported that Danny Leal-Cruz and Peter Boria were carrying an ounce of marijuana on their person as well as three containers of processed cannabis in plastic containers in their vehicle when police pulled them over. After speaking with parties involved in the incident, MMM Report has learned that much of the story was fabricated by police and larger news outlets.

     The men were at the property, not to manufacture marijuana, as prosecutors are attempting to charge them with, but to check if there was an eviction notice on the door. The owner of the land contacted the men to inspect the property. Contrary to what was reported, Leal-Cruz does have a medical marijuana card – a fact that was left out of the police report. Police did not find any marijuana on the men, but instead found a small clone on the passenger side floor and some rooting gel in a pants pocket.

     The rooting gel was originally mistaken by officers as THC wax and they tried to bring possession charges against the men until they found out the true contents of the gel, then officers claimed the men had marijuana in their pants pockets and attempted to bring a charge for that. As for the containers in the vehicle, we have been told, that they were in a locked box inside the trunk of the car – the way in which medical marijuana is supposed to be transported. The containers were from a medical marijuana dispensary and had less than a gram in each.

     Charges against Boria have been dismissed, but those against Leal-Cruz are still pending as the prosecuting attorney and police continue to post-pone the case. Leal-Cruz claims he was caught in the middle of a dispute between the landlord and the tenant, causing him to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, now facing manufactured charges.

Cannabis Legalization in Michigan 2018: The Polling Phase Begins - by Tim Beck

    On February 17, the first draft of a ballot proposal to legalize all personal use of marijuana for adults, was revealed to the Michigan cannabis reform community. Spear headed by the powerful Marijuana Policy Project (MPP) in conjunction with an evolving “Unity Coalition” composed of MI Legalize, NPRA, the Michigan ACLU and other interested parties, the new, well funded initiative has every promise of success in 2018.

    However, a “promise” is only a promise. It is not reality. Much work is yet to be done. Some of us reading this blog have learned the hard way that the toughest challenge faced in winning a ballot initiative, is the construction of the actual proposal itself.

    The normal way of changing the law is through elected officials. It is a serious, and normally complex process. Every interested party gets to have their input into the proposed new law. Intense legal analysis is done. Elected officials usually know what a majority of their constituents want. However, months and even years can go by before anything changes.

    Ballot initiative organizers however are on their own. They have to do their own legal work and know what voters want and how they want it.

    For statewide initiatives, it can cost millions of dollars to get the signatures needed and sell the plan to sometimes indifferent, low information voters. That is in addition to battling well- organized, deep pocketed special interest groups and individuals who do not want what you want. In Michigan, statistically speaking, it is almost the norm for initiatives to fail. They fail due to lack of money, legal challenges to poorly written proposals or failure to win voter support on Election day itself.

    These facts now bring us to the importance of the proposal itself. It is imperative the proposal must be in sync with voter wishes. It also must be very carefully constructed to survive legal challenges to keep the initiative itself off the ballot --- or destroy it politically in the Legislature or in the Courts after the measure is passed by the voters.

    As of this writing, the Michigan “Unity” effort is in good shape from a legal perspective. From grass roots to grass tops, the group has some of the best election law attorney’s imaginable as part of the team. They are leaving no stone un-turned to get it right.

    The major concern at this juncture, is discerning what voters want on a nuts and bolts level. Sometimes that is not what the initiative organizers think voters want. Recent polls indicate support is running 57% in Michigan for legalization. However no one knows how the 87% of the voters who want legalization but do not use cannabis, would like to see it regulated in the real world. We must know this, otherwise failure is virtually certain.

   The draft proposal is now in the polling stage, to find out what voters will accept and reject. We also want to know any weaknesses in advance; so we do not get blown out of the water by deep pocketed prohibition zealots. The polling results will determine in a big way what is ultimately circulated in petition form, on our projected start date of May 1st.

    In many cases, committed ballot initiative advocates (for practically any cause) tend to think what they want is what everyone else wants too. Effective, fine tuned polling, clears up potentially zealous misconceptions, and brings all concerned much closer to the “sure thing” we all want when the votes are counted on election day.

Grow Tip for February 2017 - by Ben Horner

    

    Most growers buy nutrients to feed their plants. When you go into a grow store the choices are endless. Dozens of companies have product “lines,” or proprietary regiments that work exclusively together. This typically means you cannot buy just one bottle of nutrients, because you need the full line of that brand to get everything your plant needs. Skunkwerks, proves that you don’t need 3-12 different products to grow killer meds.

     First off, plants need proper PH, 5.5-5.8 (acid/ alkaline). Then they need an appropriate amount of macro (N-P-K) and micronutrients. Cannabis plants while in vegetative growth need more nitrogen and when in ower they need more phosphate and potassium. That is why many nutrient lines come
in two, three or more parts. 

     This allows the user to shift the amounts of macro and micronutrients. When finishing, the last few weeks of flowering no nutrients should be used.

     Skunkwerks has an all in one product, and it works. Growers that have switched over are ecstatic with the results and are clearing the clutter off their shelves of the plethora of assorted bottles they don’t need any more. They are saving money and don’t have to think too hard or consult a confusing feeding chart. For growers that are growing bigger plants and really like to adjust ratios, Skunkwerks have a two-part product that is very simple as well.

     Skunkwerks works well with sweeteners, bud hardeners and terpene enhancers. Skunkwerks is made in Michigan and is not yet available through the big hydro distributors so not every grow store has it. If you want to talk to them the just call the toll-free number and you can call them direct.
