We’ve got all the strains just ready to go out to the stores. Yeah. My name is Faith Farwood. Hello. Hi. How are you? I’m good. How are you? Right now we’re in our B side of our original location. Here is Spokane Valley. This is Grow Room number eight.

Tyler

00:28

What did I have for breakfast? I didn’t. Red Bull. Red Bull.

Tyler

00:34

Currently we’re in one of our

Tyler

00:35

Multiple dry rooms. This would be dry room one. You have two tier three licenses within this facility. 30,000 square feet of Canopy space per license, so a total of 60,000 square feet.

Faith

We got some people weighing out jars by hand over here. This is our nickel Fritz tabs here in the smaller white jar, and we got some disposables all in ones right here getting filled. These are two of the first strains that we ever grew and are still our most popular that we have. We have grow rooms dedicated to Golden Pineapple and OG Chem always. We grew really fast. When I started there was about 12 employees, and today we’re between five and 600 employees.

This is all a team effort, which is of course imperative in the cannabis operations.

Faith

01:18

Now. When we started, we were only doing flower jars. That was our main thing. Then we got a lot of Bud that we don’t want to put in jars, those little buds, so you got to do something with it. What better than a free

Roll? So this is an infused banger. It’s infused on the inside with a special mixture of some oil and some flour, and then we roll it in the RollPros. So this room is Joint Nation. So this is where we build all the joints. We have a lot of products, a lot of SKUs. The Blue is our hybrid strawberries and cream. We try to stay the head of everybody else in offering things that other companies don’t. So yeah, 28 grams of joints in here.

Faith

02:00

We do about, on average, like a hundred thousand three rolls every week out the door.

Brian

02:06

So right here we’re building our 10 pack of roll Pros. Half gram joints, we call ’em bangers. These are ran on the machine in the back. We sell an awful lot of these. These are probably one of the hotter things on the market right now for us

Faith

02:18

We’ve been selling a lot of joints pretty consistently for a long time.

Jeremy

02:28

We’re in the machine room of Fat Panda Grow Op farms right now with our two RollPros machines. The material just comes up from the funnel, goes onto two vibe trays onto a scale.

Faith

02:40

We found a blackbird at the cannabis comp MJBizCon down in Vegas, but

Jeremy

02:46

Now we’re running to panty dropper, so it’s an indica strain that we run pretty often here

Tyler

02:51

Somebody had given me a couple joints that had been rolled by the Blackbird

Jeremy

02:56

And then pulls it under and rolls it.

Tyler

03:00

We just tested the product and realized that this was a game changer right away,

Faith

03:05

And we just were intrigued by it and we decided to just go for

Jeremy

03:08

It cuts it in half, spits it out. The RollPros Blackbird joints are amazing. You can smoke ’em all the way down to the crutch. They always run consistently. They’re just a lot better product as far as I’m concerned. So that’s the way I normally go now

Tyler

03:29

It’s not simply just a new paper and it’s rolled. We took a different approach from our joint manufacturing by bringing the Blackbird in.

Faith

03:42

We are expanding. We have locations down California and we’re doing the Massachusetts location

Tyler

03:54

And incorporating the RollPros Blackbird unit into anything that we do in any new facilities is certainly going to be extreme benefits for us in the long run.

Faith

04:07

Who knows what’s next? Hopefully we are everywhere someday.

Tyler

04:12

I wish I knew what the future was like for us, but I know that it’s always going to be a hundred percent onward and upward in my personal opinion.
