1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:02,700
Kaisha: All right.

2
00:00:02,700 --> 00:00:04,620
It's Thursday at 4:20 PM.

3
00:00:04,650 --> 00:00:05,100
Eastern.

4
00:00:05,100 --> 00:00:08,010
That means it's time for office
hours, a Roy's weekly session for

5
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:11,700
cultivators, so that you can hear from
experts and talk to each other about

6
00:00:11,700 --> 00:00:13,140
what they're seeing with their grows.

7
00:00:13,380 --> 00:00:14,139
My name is Kaisha.

8
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,090
I'll be moderating solo today while my
co may moderating Mandy's on vacation.

9
00:00:18,095 --> 00:00:18,840
We miss you Mandy.

10
00:00:18,878 --> 00:00:22,473
But looking forward to her coming back
soon as always, if you are live with

22
00:00:49,283 --> 00:00:50,213
Seth and Jason.

23
00:00:50,483 --> 00:00:50,903
How's it going?

24
00:00:52,128 --> 00:00:53,448
Jason: Doing well, good

25
00:00:53,538 --> 00:00:53,808
Kaisha: vacation.

26
00:00:54,288 --> 00:00:55,278
Nice to see you guys.

27
00:00:55,278 --> 00:00:56,778
We've been a lot of vacations lately.

28
00:00:56,778 --> 00:00:56,958
Nice.

29
00:00:56,958 --> 00:00:59,028
See you both in the same
place at the same time.

30
00:01:00,528 --> 00:01:00,828
yeah.

31
00:01:00,828 --> 00:01:04,373
So, we're going to, we're a little light
on social media questions this week.

32
00:01:04,373 --> 00:01:07,373
And so it's a great opportunity to do
a little deep dive on something you're

33
00:01:07,373 --> 00:01:11,578
saying maybe with our clients, with what's
what's going on with with that today.

34
00:01:11,578 --> 00:01:12,748
What do you guys got going on over there?

35
00:01:13,438 --> 00:01:16,209
Jason: So we're gonna talk a little
bit about harvest group analytics.

36
00:01:16,214 --> 00:01:20,646
So when when you're wrapped up with
your cycle, What you can what you can

37
00:01:20,646 --> 00:01:24,666
see, what you can look at document
analyze to get a better idea of how

38
00:01:24,666 --> 00:01:28,566
well that cycle performed based on the,
the data that you've been capturing.

39
00:01:30,696 --> 00:01:31,656
Seth: Yeah, absolutely.

40
00:01:31,661 --> 00:01:34,806
I mean, you know, Roy is not just
about monitoring your day to day

41
00:01:34,806 --> 00:01:38,316
functionality and your grow a
big part of it is logging that.

42
00:01:38,316 --> 00:01:40,446
So we can look back at the
end of around and look at, you

43
00:01:40,446 --> 00:01:42,306
know, holistic crop performance.

44
00:01:42,306 --> 00:01:43,296
Where did we mess up?

45
00:01:43,296 --> 00:01:44,796
What were some of the challenges we had.

46
00:01:45,641 --> 00:01:48,971
And, you know, what, what can we actually
pinpoint in this whole time period

47
00:01:48,971 --> 00:01:52,391
that might help us look at, you know,
where we can make some improvements.

48
00:01:53,741 --> 00:01:56,411
It's, it's really important to
look back at a whole run, not just

49
00:01:56,411 --> 00:01:58,361
focus on your day to day decisions.

50
00:01:59,831 --> 00:02:02,411
Jason: So without further ado,
I'll share my screen here.

51
00:02:02,411 --> 00:02:07,479
I've got got our interface going and
we will talk to you guys about what

52
00:02:07,529 --> 00:02:09,239
what kind of features here are in.

53
00:02:09,989 --> 00:02:10,919
The analytics page.

54
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:14,459
So kind of just to get started,
there's a few ways to get

55
00:02:14,459 --> 00:02:16,259
to harvest group analytics.

56
00:02:16,259 --> 00:02:20,459
If we jump into our production, we
can go into the analytics of, of

57
00:02:20,459 --> 00:02:23,919
currently growing ones for talking
about all the features here, we're

58
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,324
gonna go into some that are finished
up and take a look at the data that

59
00:02:27,324 --> 00:02:29,724
we summarize for those harvest groups.

60
00:02:30,504 --> 00:02:32,683
So let's just jump into some banana O.

61
00:02:34,678 --> 00:02:38,848
Looks like we've got pineapple
express and Jenny's test in here.

62
00:02:38,848 --> 00:02:44,006
So one of the most important things to
get harvest group analytics, when you're

63
00:02:44,006 --> 00:02:48,866
building your harvest group, make sure
that you've got the cultivars outlined

64
00:02:48,866 --> 00:02:51,026
on the benches or the, the zones.

65
00:02:51,661 --> 00:02:54,781
So when we look at this flower room,
we can see our banana OGs in zone

66
00:02:54,781 --> 00:02:59,071
one, by now express the zone two in
Jenny's test zone three and four.

67
00:02:59,371 --> 00:03:03,781
This is what's going to
populate your substrate data

68
00:03:04,021 --> 00:03:06,331
into the specific cultivars.

69
00:03:06,331 --> 00:03:11,431
And what we're doing that for is just
to make sure that we can separate any of

70
00:03:11,431 --> 00:03:15,301
the, the performance that we might see
in, in the different genetics in the room.

71
00:03:15,541 --> 00:03:18,601
So make sure that we get those all
populated when we're building our harvest.

72
00:03:19,386 --> 00:03:23,226
One of the easiest ways to know that
you haven't done that is you may or

73
00:03:23,226 --> 00:03:27,844
may not see water content and EC data
right here in our environment tab.

74
00:03:27,849 --> 00:03:31,737
If if we didn't populate what
zones or detail, what zones

75
00:03:31,737 --> 00:03:32,877
those cold fires are running.

76
00:03:33,507 --> 00:03:37,767
So for today's topic, let's jump into
this analytics page and we'll take

77
00:03:37,767 --> 00:03:43,827
a look and see what information is
provided after we've done the grow cycle.

78
00:03:44,522 --> 00:03:47,822
So if we just start off at the top,
it gives us a little bit of a summary

79
00:03:47,822 --> 00:03:52,112
of our recipe talking about how
long we ran each of the stages of.

80
00:03:54,512 --> 00:04:00,692
And then if we go down here, we can see
our, our wet weights and our dry weights.

81
00:04:00,812 --> 00:04:03,992
And we can go jump in just to
the, the yield analytics, which

82
00:04:03,992 --> 00:04:06,482
we'll see down here at the bottom
of this page in just a minute.

83
00:04:06,932 --> 00:04:08,492
And then there's also the gallery, which.

84
00:04:09,107 --> 00:04:13,337
Looks like someone's been putting some
stock photography in this harvest script,

85
00:04:13,337 --> 00:04:16,787
not, not the best representative of,
of what our plants look like for that.

86
00:04:16,787 --> 00:04:21,192
But yeah, this is obviously in our, our
demo facility where we do a little bit

87
00:04:21,192 --> 00:04:23,412
of plan around on the software side.

88
00:04:23,472 --> 00:04:27,972
So when we're looking at this cultivation
schedule, we can break it down and

89
00:04:28,242 --> 00:04:32,973
get an idea of how many tasks and
when these tasks are getting done.

90
00:04:32,973 --> 00:04:35,433
So this is kind of a good
way you can visually see.

91
00:04:36,448 --> 00:04:39,488
How much, you know, labor
is going on specific days.

92
00:04:39,488 --> 00:04:44,491
Hopefully y'all are using the tasking
feature for any of the transplanting,

93
00:04:44,491 --> 00:04:49,559
any of the IPM events, any pruning
type of strategies, tagging strategies,

94
00:04:49,829 --> 00:04:53,700
really, whatever that whatever
you wanna benchmark as a point in

95
00:04:53,700 --> 00:04:55,333
time that work needs to get done.

96
00:04:56,173 --> 00:04:57,733
The next up is the alert.

97
00:04:57,733 --> 00:05:01,093
So this alerts overview is a
really nice way to think about.

98
00:05:02,248 --> 00:05:06,538
When you do struggle to stay within
the parameters of your environment

99
00:05:06,598 --> 00:05:08,188
and or irrigation behaviors.

100
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:12,838
So, you know, maybe when, you know, after
we do a pruning, it's hard for us to keep

101
00:05:12,838 --> 00:05:14,843
our humidity high enough in the room.

102
00:05:14,890 --> 00:05:16,390
Any of those types of things.

103
00:05:16,390 --> 00:05:18,940
And obviously when you're looking
from harvest group to harvest

104
00:05:18,940 --> 00:05:22,960
groups, it's nice to, to recognize
any specific points in time that you

105
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,282
do typically see alerts go off and.

106
00:05:25,937 --> 00:05:29,987
That that'll kind of give you an
idea of when we need to dig in and

107
00:05:29,987 --> 00:05:32,315
understand what what we can improve upon.

108
00:05:32,705 --> 00:05:35,405
Obviously this one doesn't have
any alerts, so that's really nice

109
00:05:35,410 --> 00:05:39,485
to see we made it the whole cycle
without getting an emergency text

110
00:05:39,490 --> 00:05:40,805
message telling us we're out range.

111
00:05:41,935 --> 00:05:42,465
The sticks.

112
00:05:42,465 --> 00:05:46,639
One said the target ranges
and here we have EC display.

113
00:05:46,732 --> 00:05:50,542
You can go ahead and select any of the
parameters, the data parameters that are

114
00:05:50,542 --> 00:05:55,642
being captured from the AOR system there
and, and take a look and see how close

115
00:05:55,642 --> 00:05:58,132
to those target ranges that you state.

116
00:05:58,617 --> 00:05:59,577
Throughout that harvest group.

117
00:05:59,577 --> 00:06:04,647
So the yellow box in this case and the
outside is gonna be the target ranges.

118
00:06:04,707 --> 00:06:08,907
We can see that adjust throughout the
different phases of the grow cycle.

119
00:06:09,177 --> 00:06:14,547
And then we can see the average for the
room is the, the data line in the middle.

120
00:06:14,907 --> 00:06:17,127
And this one, we did a pretty
good job towards the end.

121
00:06:17,127 --> 00:06:20,787
We looks like we forgot to drop
the EC, like we had intended to

122
00:06:20,787 --> 00:06:23,217
do to satisfy our recipe targets.

123
00:06:24,337 --> 00:06:26,857
And then one of the most important
things here as well is it tells us how

124
00:06:26,857 --> 00:06:28,957
long we were outside of that range.

125
00:06:28,957 --> 00:06:32,317
So in this case, our UC spent
15 days outside a range, right?

126
00:06:32,977 --> 00:06:37,822
If we jump into something like
air temperature, This is 64 days.

127
00:06:37,822 --> 00:06:40,372
So we, we really struggled
with our, our air temp.

128
00:06:40,379 --> 00:06:43,829
On this one, we can see, obviously
our, our target ranges were quite a

129
00:06:43,829 --> 00:06:48,419
bit tighter than we could actually
run with the equipment in that room.

130
00:06:48,599 --> 00:06:52,066
And so that's, what's going collaborate
to that that time outside of range.

131
00:06:52,456 --> 00:06:55,576
Ideally, you're gonna have zero
time outside of your target ranges.

132
00:06:55,576 --> 00:06:58,216
And I guess this is a great time
to talk about the difference

133
00:06:58,216 --> 00:06:59,836
between alerts and target ranges.

134
00:06:59,836 --> 00:07:02,073
So, target range is the ideal.

135
00:07:02,478 --> 00:07:05,718
Parameter that we're trying to
keep any of our variables within.

136
00:07:05,778 --> 00:07:10,758
So that's like the golden standard,
whereas an alert range is, needs to be

137
00:07:10,763 --> 00:07:14,131
set with a little bit of bandwidth so
that you know, if, if something's just a

138
00:07:14,131 --> 00:07:18,271
little bit screwy, you're not getting text
messages, but if equipment failure happens

139
00:07:18,276 --> 00:07:21,691
or someone does a set point incorrectly,
then you'll definitely get notified.

140
00:07:22,546 --> 00:07:22,846
Seth: Yeah.

141
00:07:22,846 --> 00:07:25,756
And, and that's honestly too, where when
you're setting up those target ranges, it

142
00:07:25,756 --> 00:07:29,656
is best practice, honestly, to have, if
you can two screens, but two tabs open.

143
00:07:30,106 --> 00:07:32,986
So you can kind of go back and look
at your dashboard and start establish,

144
00:07:33,076 --> 00:07:34,936
establishing realistic parameters.

145
00:07:34,936 --> 00:07:37,996
You know, if I go ahead and say,
all right, analytically, I want to

146
00:07:37,996 --> 00:07:40,786
keep 80 to 82 in early flower, but.

147
00:07:41,821 --> 00:07:44,341
My chart looks a little more like
the one Jason's displaying here.

148
00:07:44,671 --> 00:07:47,731
I might go ahead and say, all right, I'm
definitely gonna set that alert range.

149
00:07:47,731 --> 00:07:51,121
Well, outside of my analytical
range, because I do not want

150
00:07:51,121 --> 00:07:53,101
to start ignoring those alerts.

151
00:07:54,541 --> 00:07:54,811
Jason: Yeah.

152
00:07:54,841 --> 00:07:58,741
And that that's kind of the best way to
make sure your alert, target ranges are

153
00:07:58,741 --> 00:08:03,338
tailored correctly is go back and look at
the harvest group that you didn't have any

154
00:08:03,338 --> 00:08:05,678
equipment failures or any mistakes happen.

155
00:08:05,683 --> 00:08:09,428
And, and look at what you can typically
achieve when, when you are meeting

156
00:08:09,428 --> 00:08:10,968
the, the ranges that you like to.

157
00:08:12,443 --> 00:08:13,223
Seth: Yeah, absolutely.

158
00:08:13,223 --> 00:08:16,153
And honestly, I think that it's a great
way to go back and look at your data

159
00:08:16,153 --> 00:08:19,453
for any one parameter over the whole
run and identify, especially with the

160
00:08:19,453 --> 00:08:20,810
time counter, you know, a big issue.

161
00:08:20,810 --> 00:08:23,980
I find a lot of people running into is
let's say water content in rockwool.

162
00:08:24,455 --> 00:08:26,435
It's like, man, I am just
struggling with these yields.

163
00:08:26,435 --> 00:08:29,975
I can't get above like two pounds
of light and we'll go back and look

164
00:08:29,975 --> 00:08:33,125
and say, okay, your water content's
been relatively low the whole time.

165
00:08:33,125 --> 00:08:36,215
That's one of the key fundamental
things that a plant needs to grow.

166
00:08:36,215 --> 00:08:40,355
If we've limited that over, you know,
if we've spent 64 days below our

167
00:08:40,355 --> 00:08:43,235
water content goals, for instance, we
can start to expect to see a pretty

168
00:08:43,235 --> 00:08:44,945
quantifiable reduction in yield.

169
00:08:45,575 --> 00:08:49,925
So we can actually look, you know,
backward in time and start to quantify

170
00:08:50,285 --> 00:08:53,405
how much we might expect to gain
from making certain adjustments.

171
00:08:54,125 --> 00:08:57,575
Especially if we have the data of a
good run versus a bad run to compare

172
00:08:57,575 --> 00:09:01,925
it to, we can really parse out like,
okay, we've eliminated most of the

173
00:09:01,925 --> 00:09:06,725
variables that time outside range for
EC or water content seems to be the

174
00:09:06,725 --> 00:09:07,925
biggest variable we're working with.

175
00:09:07,925 --> 00:09:09,215
Let's attack that next.

176
00:09:11,090 --> 00:09:11,810
Jason: Exactly.

177
00:09:12,170 --> 00:09:14,540
And we'll just move into
the next section here.

178
00:09:14,540 --> 00:09:19,036
So, plant development, looking at
the entire cycle, this is where we're

179
00:09:19,096 --> 00:09:20,596
displaying some of the manual readings.

180
00:09:20,656 --> 00:09:24,316
And obviously if you've listened
to this show very much, we talk

181
00:09:24,321 --> 00:09:28,396
about canopy height quite a bit when
indicating how long we should be

182
00:09:28,396 --> 00:09:29,986
running different steering techniques.

183
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:30,836
So.

184
00:09:31,126 --> 00:09:34,486
This is a great way to just kind
of visualize what happened as

185
00:09:34,486 --> 00:09:36,046
far as those manual readings go.

186
00:09:36,376 --> 00:09:37,876
This case, we can see
our, our canopy height.

187
00:09:39,451 --> 00:09:44,641
Definitely weighed off right there
about, you know, looks like April 29th.

188
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:46,981
It kind of started slowing down.

189
00:09:46,981 --> 00:09:49,561
And that's usually when we'll
flip back to vegetative bulking.

190
00:09:49,711 --> 00:09:53,990
So, notes, pacing, another good good
metric to take in there and then stem

191
00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:57,944
diameter kind of just a good idea to
keep track of that and see what it looks

192
00:09:57,944 --> 00:10:02,174
like in relationship to the, the steering
parameters that you're pushing onto that.

193
00:10:05,249 --> 00:10:07,269
And then our past, go ahead, Kaisha.

194
00:10:07,439 --> 00:10:08,639
Kaisha: I was actually, this is amazing.

195
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:11,369
I just wanna, I'm just
applying this to my mind.

196
00:10:11,369 --> 00:10:14,459
I'm a consumer, mostly, I've got
two little babies in the back.

197
00:10:14,459 --> 00:10:17,609
I'm trying to grow, but I'm nowhere
near  anybody else's level on here, but

198
00:10:17,609 --> 00:10:18,809
I'm just wrapping my head around this.

199
00:10:18,809 --> 00:10:22,319
So if I'm a cultivator, I have
like an award-winning cultivar.

200
00:10:22,499 --> 00:10:23,789
It's my number one seller.

201
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:27,659
And I wanna make sure I wanna
ensure that it is grown properly

202
00:10:27,989 --> 00:10:29,429
for the consistency, the.

203
00:10:29,784 --> 00:10:31,764
Reliable potency every single time.

204
00:10:31,974 --> 00:10:34,721
These analytics are really what
I'm looking at to determine what

205
00:10:34,721 --> 00:10:37,571
works and what I can, what I
need to be doing, going forward.

206
00:10:37,571 --> 00:10:39,191
What I need to adjust
going forward is that.

207
00:10:40,276 --> 00:10:41,266
Jason: Yeah, absolutely.

208
00:10:41,266 --> 00:10:43,996
And when we talk about things
like manual readings, there are

209
00:10:44,066 --> 00:10:47,576
some really crucial points of time
when you should be capturing that.

210
00:10:47,576 --> 00:10:51,176
So when you're coming out of
veg, definitely make sure you've

211
00:10:51,176 --> 00:10:52,586
got your, your plant height.

212
00:10:52,676 --> 00:10:56,126
And that's one of the indicators where
we know, Hey, we're on our, our bed

213
00:10:56,126 --> 00:11:00,308
schedule to Hit the appropriate size
plant that we need for our yields or, or

214
00:11:00,308 --> 00:11:02,138
maybe you're behind it or ahead of it.

215
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:06,680
And you can make adjustments to
stay within projectability of

216
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:07,910
your, your crop yields coming

217
00:11:07,910 --> 00:11:08,330
Seth: out of there.

218
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:09,980
Oh, absolutely.

219
00:11:09,980 --> 00:11:12,560
And we can also start to look at,
like, for instance, if your canopy

220
00:11:12,565 --> 00:11:15,695
height, one run to the next was
14 inches or centimeters taller

221
00:11:15,695 --> 00:11:17,135
yet your yield was the same.

222
00:11:17,285 --> 00:11:18,215
Then we can start dialing.

223
00:11:18,215 --> 00:11:18,425
Okay.

224
00:11:18,425 --> 00:11:19,955
We can probably shorten
up our veg time then.

225
00:11:20,225 --> 00:11:20,645
Sure.

226
00:11:20,705 --> 00:11:21,695
We can go with a smaller plant.

227
00:11:21,695 --> 00:11:24,395
I mean, we, we have a lot of options
to look back on, and this is a good

228
00:11:24,395 --> 00:11:25,955
way to evaluate that performance.

229
00:11:25,955 --> 00:11:30,635
Because again, we say it all the
time, everything is so cyclical, you

230
00:11:30,635 --> 00:11:33,325
know, at pretty much any cannabis
growth facility and you're growing

231
00:11:33,425 --> 00:11:35,015
the same strains over and over.

232
00:11:35,345 --> 00:11:38,915
It just gets to be a lot of really
specific information to keep track of.

233
00:11:39,245 --> 00:11:42,545
And if you've got an easy way to organize
it, you can quickly go back and look and.

234
00:11:43,235 --> 00:11:45,995
Validate your decisions or decide
you're gonna make a different one.

235
00:11:48,125 --> 00:11:49,025
Jason: Exactly.

236
00:11:49,115 --> 00:11:51,105
Next up just IPM application.

237
00:11:51,135 --> 00:11:55,095
It's just charting when those were
happening over the, over the growth cycle.

238
00:11:55,155 --> 00:11:56,938
So, looks like two more than usual.

239
00:11:57,418 --> 00:11:59,338
Maybe we had a little
bit higher pest pressure.

240
00:11:59,367 --> 00:12:02,686
During this, this cycle, we
also look at waste amounts.

241
00:12:02,776 --> 00:12:06,266
So if you are metric integrated,
you're tracking the, the waste

242
00:12:06,266 --> 00:12:07,222
amounts from those plants.

243
00:12:07,222 --> 00:12:08,182
So we can note when that.

244
00:12:08,226 --> 00:12:11,466
Mixed up in this analytics, just
sensor readings great way to look

245
00:12:11,466 --> 00:12:15,230
at the specific sensor spread
of any of those sensor types.

246
00:12:15,350 --> 00:12:20,270
So nice way to just break out a, a harvest
group and then take a look at anything

247
00:12:20,270 --> 00:12:24,503
specifically that you'd like to take a
look at, and we can also zoom into a.

248
00:12:25,598 --> 00:12:26,348
These parameters.

249
00:12:26,348 --> 00:12:30,008
And what we'll notice is we've got
a solid line in the middle, which

250
00:12:30,008 --> 00:12:33,510
is gonna be the room average for the
sensors that are getting displayed.

251
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:38,370
And then we've got kind of a
shaded band talking about the,

252
00:12:38,370 --> 00:12:42,300
the variation from, from low to,
to highest sensor data points.

253
00:12:44,670 --> 00:12:44,850
Seth: Yep.

254
00:12:44,850 --> 00:12:48,150
So over time for any specific
cultivar we're growing, we wanna see

255
00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:49,860
that shaded van shrink and shrink.

256
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:51,810
We want our crop to get
more and more consistent.

257
00:12:51,810 --> 00:12:56,670
If, and I mean, obviously you could
look at this in numbers as well, but the

258
00:12:56,670 --> 00:13:00,210
shaded highlighter line is a really nice
way to just get a quick visual snapshot

259
00:13:00,210 --> 00:13:02,100
at how consistent your rooms are being.

260
00:13:02,105 --> 00:13:04,290
Especially if you wanna go
back over time and say, okay,

261
00:13:04,290 --> 00:13:05,340
here's my first run with Arro.

262
00:13:06,735 --> 00:13:08,445
We had a pretty wide
confidence band there.

263
00:13:08,775 --> 00:13:10,575
And then, Hey, look, we
can quantify each runt.

264
00:13:10,575 --> 00:13:14,565
We're getting it that much closer to
being very, you know, perfectly consistent

265
00:13:14,565 --> 00:13:16,155
and nothing's ever gonna be perfect.

266
00:13:16,815 --> 00:13:19,815
you're never, if we zoomed in far
enough, there would still be that shaded

267
00:13:19,815 --> 00:13:22,523
line there outside of the solid line.

268
00:13:22,528 --> 00:13:22,703
But.

269
00:13:23,318 --> 00:13:24,368
Again, quick glance.

270
00:13:24,428 --> 00:13:27,908
You can really start to tone in
on, okay, what am I struggling

271
00:13:27,908 --> 00:13:29,018
the most with in this room?

272
00:13:29,023 --> 00:13:30,758
Cuz sometimes it's not
always what people think.

273
00:13:31,718 --> 00:13:32,108
You know?

274
00:13:32,168 --> 00:13:34,748
I mean, sometimes you've got a lot of
things nailed down and you're like,

275
00:13:34,748 --> 00:13:36,638
wow, my environment's wonderful.

276
00:13:36,643 --> 00:13:39,728
Now we're just looking at plant size
and pruning, you know, trying to

277
00:13:39,728 --> 00:13:41,168
get consistency in the structure.

278
00:13:41,173 --> 00:13:44,258
Otherwise everything else
might be really, really nice.

279
00:13:45,518 --> 00:13:45,638
Jason: Yeah.

280
00:13:45,638 --> 00:13:47,978
And you know, one of the things
that is so wonderful about looking

281
00:13:47,978 --> 00:13:52,744
at a confidence interval is when we
talk about population statistics, we

282
00:13:52,954 --> 00:13:56,404
know that we're sampling a certain
amount of plants in that room, right.

283
00:13:56,404 --> 00:14:00,154
If we've got a good, good number
of sensors in there, then we should

284
00:14:00,154 --> 00:14:04,826
expect that if we go monitor any plant,
it's gonna be landing within within

285
00:14:04,826 --> 00:14:06,416
that confidence interval that we see.

286
00:14:06,506 --> 00:14:06,866
So.

287
00:14:08,021 --> 00:14:08,471
Exactly.

288
00:14:08,471 --> 00:14:12,097
Like Seth said, the, the more we
can shrink that the more uniform our

289
00:14:12,097 --> 00:14:15,517
crop is, is performing in that cycle.

290
00:14:18,262 --> 00:14:20,090
And then next up just to yield breakdown.

291
00:14:20,090 --> 00:14:24,025
So this is kind of cool because we
can look at different options yield by

292
00:14:24,025 --> 00:14:26,695
plant yield by square foot, total yield.

293
00:14:27,055 --> 00:14:30,725
And then we get to take a look and see how
much moisture loss we had in this cycle.

294
00:14:30,728 --> 00:14:31,488
How much dry weight.

295
00:14:32,243 --> 00:14:34,853
Came out of that product and how
much waste comes out there as well.

296
00:14:34,853 --> 00:14:41,693
So obviously efficiency is a great
way to keep track of how much biomass

297
00:14:41,693 --> 00:14:43,433
that you create as fast as possible.

298
00:14:43,438 --> 00:14:47,483
So if we are able to cut our cycle
down a little bit, we're gonna see

299
00:14:47,488 --> 00:14:50,053
greater yield per square foot per day.

300
00:14:50,363 --> 00:14:55,643
So obviously the constraints of any
manufacturing here is the facility size

301
00:14:55,703 --> 00:14:57,533
and the time that we're growing it.

302
00:14:57,533 --> 00:15:03,085
So if we can get more yield, we can grow
things faster or increase our density of,

303
00:15:03,145 --> 00:15:05,265
of, of planting so that we get more weight

304
00:15:05,265 --> 00:15:05,685
Seth: off there.

305
00:15:08,460 --> 00:15:09,210
Absolutely.

306
00:15:09,210 --> 00:15:12,180
And if you could, Jason, could you go
over, I guess on this version of the

307
00:15:12,180 --> 00:15:16,570
demo, we don't have the yield section,
but I would like to do a quick preview of

308
00:15:16,593 --> 00:15:22,083
the non metric integrated yield section
in production, because that is one thing

309
00:15:22,083 --> 00:15:24,903
that it's kind of tough, you know, you're
usually you get your wet weight when you

310
00:15:24,908 --> 00:15:27,963
harvest, that's easy to put in and then
two weeks later you get your dry weights

311
00:15:27,993 --> 00:15:31,053
or more, depending on how you buck down
and how you weigh your finished product.

312
00:15:31,053 --> 00:15:33,063
If you're going on the stem off the stem.

313
00:15:34,028 --> 00:15:36,668
So a lot of times it's
really easy to pass that.

314
00:15:36,848 --> 00:15:40,550
And I just wanna note that for all of
our customers that aren't using metric,

315
00:15:40,550 --> 00:15:44,270
it's absolutely critical to record at
least your wet weight and ideally your

316
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:49,638
dry weight, even to populate some of the
production group analytics, you know, and

317
00:15:49,643 --> 00:15:51,468
that yield entry is actually really easy.

318
00:15:51,978 --> 00:15:54,408
We're just going in for a
basic wet and dry weight.

319
00:15:54,408 --> 00:15:56,658
And typically what we wanna
look at wet weight, that's

320
00:15:56,658 --> 00:15:57,738
gonna be your harvest weight.

321
00:15:58,708 --> 00:16:01,318
And it's pretty self-explanatory
we got dry weight, flower, weight,

322
00:16:01,318 --> 00:16:03,208
and trim rate, put trim weight.

323
00:16:03,208 --> 00:16:08,548
One thing to remember is aro is taking
wet versus dry for your wet to dry ratio.

324
00:16:08,553 --> 00:16:12,808
So if you want your dry weight in
analytics to represent, let's say

325
00:16:12,808 --> 00:16:17,008
bucked bud, or finished bud, that's
where you want that value to go.

326
00:16:19,498 --> 00:16:24,598
And then otherwise as with everything,
more data, more power in the future.

327
00:16:24,598 --> 00:16:26,068
So log as much as you can over.

328
00:16:27,328 --> 00:16:29,968
You know, you want as complete of
a picture of what happened during

329
00:16:29,968 --> 00:16:32,518
that grow cycle as possible.

330
00:16:32,518 --> 00:16:34,978
And if we don't have the
yield, we don't really have

331
00:16:34,978 --> 00:16:36,118
the results to compare side to.

332
00:16:37,588 --> 00:16:38,218
Jason: exactly.

333
00:16:38,218 --> 00:16:42,028
And so let's just talk a little bit about
some of the, the yield numbers and, and

334
00:16:42,028 --> 00:16:43,858
why these choke points are so important.

335
00:16:44,128 --> 00:16:48,058
When we look at wet weight, obviously
we're analyzing the, you know,

336
00:16:48,058 --> 00:16:50,188
the, the cultivation performance.

337
00:16:50,193 --> 00:16:51,988
How, how well did those plants grow?

338
00:16:52,078 --> 00:16:53,648
Are we at a little higher wet weight?

339
00:16:53,660 --> 00:16:56,870
And then obviously the next step
is the dry weight where we able

340
00:16:56,870 --> 00:17:01,410
to retain more product simply
through better drying practices.

341
00:17:01,410 --> 00:17:02,197
Did we lose.

342
00:17:03,372 --> 00:17:06,912
Did we lose more weight because maybe
our plants weren't quite as dense as

343
00:17:06,912 --> 00:17:08,712
far as the, the bud structures go.

344
00:17:08,772 --> 00:17:13,522
What you know, what point did we
have increase in performance or,

345
00:17:13,522 --> 00:17:15,472
or a decrease in, in yield amount?

346
00:17:15,472 --> 00:17:21,112
And obviously the sales goal
is to have as much a, a class.

347
00:17:21,502 --> 00:17:22,882
Flower as we can get out of there.

348
00:17:23,092 --> 00:17:26,422
If we're doing a little bit different
crop steering, we end up with a higher

349
00:17:26,422 --> 00:17:27,922
trim weight and a lower flower weight.

350
00:17:27,952 --> 00:17:31,522
Maybe that's not quite the, the route that
we wanted to go with those crop steering.

351
00:17:31,522 --> 00:17:36,022
So always think about every stage of the
cycle and you know, how the different

352
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:37,972
parameters in crop steering affect

353
00:17:37,977 --> 00:17:38,602
Seth: those stages.

354
00:17:39,082 --> 00:17:39,772
Oh, absolutely.

355
00:17:39,772 --> 00:17:43,732
I mean, I could show you some beautiful
graphs all day and unfortunately, the

356
00:17:43,732 --> 00:17:47,326
plants that grew from those were not
what they, you know, the grower intended.

357
00:17:47,851 --> 00:17:50,941
And usually that was just because
of wrong timing and switching up of

358
00:17:50,941 --> 00:17:52,875
steering techniques vegging too long.

359
00:17:52,875 --> 00:17:54,465
I mean, there's, there's a
whole host of things, but that

360
00:17:54,465 --> 00:17:55,605
graph can still look beautiful.

361
00:17:55,605 --> 00:17:59,505
And if we don't evaluate the
finished product, we're not really

362
00:17:59,510 --> 00:18:00,615
looking at the whole picture.

363
00:18:00,615 --> 00:18:02,325
And that's really what matters in the end.

364
00:18:03,015 --> 00:18:04,875
You know, I can sit here and
tell you what I think your

365
00:18:04,875 --> 00:18:06,135
graph should look like all day.

366
00:18:06,195 --> 00:18:09,246
But if that did not produce the
kind of product that you were

367
00:18:09,246 --> 00:18:10,596
looking for, then it's kind of.

368
00:18:11,796 --> 00:18:14,436
All for not, you know, there was no
reason to really approach it if we

369
00:18:14,436 --> 00:18:19,236
lost quality and, you know, potentially
lost market share, for instance,

370
00:18:20,436 --> 00:18:24,396
Jason: Yeah, so kind of zooming out
and obviously we've got all these

371
00:18:24,396 --> 00:18:28,965
different cycles that we're cataloging
into the system and, and it's nice

372
00:18:28,965 --> 00:18:30,615
to, to dig in and see, all right.

373
00:18:30,645 --> 00:18:32,145
Here's how this one ran specifically.

374
00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:33,645
Here's how, what this
one ran specifically.

375
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:37,814
Let's talk a little bit about how we
know which cycles to, to dig into.

376
00:18:38,144 --> 00:18:40,664
Obviously, if it's, it's not
just anecdotal, if you don't know

377
00:18:40,664 --> 00:18:42,004
exactly which one you're looking at.

378
00:18:42,169 --> 00:18:46,069
We could jump into our run analytics,
or if we're trying to take a look at

379
00:18:46,069 --> 00:18:49,484
cultivar specific type of information,
we can go into our cultivar

380
00:18:49,484 --> 00:18:51,314
profiles, our cultivars tab here.

381
00:18:51,314 --> 00:18:55,454
So right now I'm looking at the run
analytics and this one, we have some

382
00:18:55,454 --> 00:19:00,131
options up to, to the top where we can
sort each run by how it yielded per plant

383
00:19:00,131 --> 00:19:03,431
per square foot, how long it ran and.

384
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:06,526
Then we can also categorize it by recipes.

385
00:19:06,616 --> 00:19:09,766
So maybe if I had a little bit different
crop steering recipe that I've tried

386
00:19:09,766 --> 00:19:13,696
a few times, we can compare those
and say, all right, well, when we're

387
00:19:13,696 --> 00:19:17,707
running in our, our heart steering
you know, let's say it's like, we,

388
00:19:18,187 --> 00:19:22,297
we can name these, you know, the
Ferrari recipe versus the Jeep recipe.

389
00:19:22,335 --> 00:19:23,129
Well we know, Hey.

390
00:19:23,319 --> 00:19:25,119
We're running there for your recipe.

391
00:19:25,149 --> 00:19:27,826
Maybe it takes a little bit more
work for our part, but every time

392
00:19:27,826 --> 00:19:30,016
we run that we get 20% more yield.

393
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:34,016
So yeah, this list here is all the harvest
groups and we can take a look and we

394
00:19:34,016 --> 00:19:35,569
know what what we were running in there.

395
00:19:35,569 --> 00:19:38,809
How many plants, what recipes
we used, how many alerts?

396
00:19:38,941 --> 00:19:42,151
Anytime we did IPM event, the duration.

397
00:19:42,846 --> 00:19:45,486
Really just trying to give us
an overview of what happened in

398
00:19:45,491 --> 00:19:47,016
order to, to hit that wet weight.

399
00:19:47,021 --> 00:19:51,186
So if I've got a whole list of this
and I want to check in there and I can

400
00:19:51,186 --> 00:19:55,222
sort by our wet weight, let's get the,
the run with the highest wet weight.

401
00:19:55,797 --> 00:20:00,057
And then take a look and see
what type of parameters that we

402
00:20:00,062 --> 00:20:01,287
ran in order to get that weight.

403
00:20:01,857 --> 00:20:03,807
Was it the great, great genetics?

404
00:20:03,807 --> 00:20:06,087
Well then let's jump into C our profiles.

405
00:20:06,387 --> 00:20:10,707
Was it something that we did specific
on purpose or is a mistake in

406
00:20:10,707 --> 00:20:13,887
this harvest group to, to get that
different yield and let's take a look

407
00:20:13,887 --> 00:20:15,537
and see, you know, what happened?

408
00:20:15,537 --> 00:20:18,567
Why, why did we get
more, more out of that?

409
00:20:18,687 --> 00:20:21,717
So that's where I like to dig in and say,
all right, let's pick out specifically.

410
00:20:21,722 --> 00:20:23,547
Good runs specifically bad runs.

411
00:20:24,097 --> 00:20:29,977
And understand what effects made that
such a successful or unsuccessful run.

412
00:20:30,667 --> 00:20:30,937
Seth: Yeah.

413
00:20:30,937 --> 00:20:33,577
And that's where, you know, we always
stress on crop registration and

414
00:20:33,582 --> 00:20:36,602
organized note taking that's, that's
where this comes in, when you're looking

415
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:39,932
back and really trying to evaluate
what happened on a great crop, you

416
00:20:39,937 --> 00:20:41,282
want to capture every part of it.

417
00:20:41,287 --> 00:20:43,082
And that part of that
includes your plant height.

418
00:20:43,592 --> 00:20:47,132
Any other manual readings you wanna take,
including notes, basing stem, diameter,

419
00:20:47,792 --> 00:20:51,842
and then, you know, going down the line
and just taking as many notes as possible.

420
00:20:51,842 --> 00:20:52,802
Take those pictures.

421
00:20:53,317 --> 00:20:54,847
Record as much as you can.

422
00:20:54,847 --> 00:20:58,777
That's how we can look back and really
quantify this and evaluate it without

423
00:20:58,777 --> 00:21:00,217
that little bit of information.

424
00:21:01,087 --> 00:21:04,087
It may seem small on a daily
basis, cuz you're just, it's 10

425
00:21:04,092 --> 00:21:06,727
seconds or 30 seconds of your time
to enter some of these readings.

426
00:21:06,727 --> 00:21:11,737
But cumulatively, after you have failed
to enter, let's say 60 of them or 63

427
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:16,117
throughout a growth phase, suddenly you're
blind to a certain point that you had and

428
00:21:16,117 --> 00:21:18,157
all you have then is kind of going well.

429
00:21:18,157 --> 00:21:19,417
We, we did take some points.

430
00:21:19,417 --> 00:21:21,817
We can make some basic
assumptions on that, but.

431
00:21:22,507 --> 00:21:26,257
Unless we really capture that we don't,
we can't responsibly make certain

432
00:21:26,257 --> 00:21:28,147
assumptions based on a lack of data.

433
00:21:29,812 --> 00:21:30,772
. 
Jason: Yeah, that's a great point.

434
00:21:31,042 --> 00:21:35,002
Some of our best clients are going in
there every single day, taking a picture.

435
00:21:35,182 --> 00:21:38,692
And it's really fun to go back and look at
the growth cycle and they could say, Hey,

436
00:21:39,082 --> 00:21:42,352
this is, you know, a specific spot maybe
where we started seeing Herms going on.

437
00:21:42,412 --> 00:21:46,238
Let's compare to the data and understand
what might have induced that maybe we see

438
00:21:46,238 --> 00:21:48,068
some Fox ceiling going on towards the end.

439
00:21:48,338 --> 00:21:51,977
Let's check out our EC, our irrigation
patterns that that might have been making.

440
00:21:52,667 --> 00:21:54,614
That growth behavior, the way it was.

441
00:21:54,794 --> 00:21:58,994
So we always encourage people, you
know, have, have a team that when

442
00:21:58,994 --> 00:22:02,864
they're in the room every day, take
some, some notes on, you know, could

443
00:22:02,864 --> 00:22:05,654
even just be a check mark where you're
saying, Hey, everything looks good.

444
00:22:05,659 --> 00:22:06,554
Let's take a picture.

445
00:22:07,004 --> 00:22:12,044
And the wonderful thing about having that
database of pictures is when you go to

446
00:22:12,044 --> 00:22:13,946
run that cold fire again, and you kind of.

447
00:22:13,970 --> 00:22:18,849
Visually what your expectations are,
and if you aren't running a cultivar

448
00:22:18,849 --> 00:22:23,469
very often, you can go back and make
sure and say, Hey, our, our purple

449
00:22:23,469 --> 00:22:25,226
punch is is doing that weird thing.

450
00:22:25,226 --> 00:22:26,726
Did it do it last time as well?

451
00:22:26,726 --> 00:22:31,474
Is that just how this genetic expresses
itself or is something something goofy

452
00:22:31,479 --> 00:22:35,240
going on that we need to correct in order
to avoid that that visual appeal of the.

453
00:22:36,305 --> 00:22:37,085
Seth: Oh, absolutely.

454
00:22:37,085 --> 00:22:39,695
And even for continuity in your
organization, you know, I've

455
00:22:39,695 --> 00:22:42,215
definitely grown some strains that
were in the facility when I came

456
00:22:42,215 --> 00:22:46,505
in that behave strangely and it's
first instinct is kind of freak out.

457
00:22:46,655 --> 00:22:48,005
You're like, what is this plant doing?

458
00:22:48,005 --> 00:22:52,025
Well, if I have a repository of
information about that particular

459
00:22:52,030 --> 00:22:55,940
culture, where I can look back and
go, oh, This has done that regularly.

460
00:22:55,940 --> 00:22:59,750
I don't need to freak out about that
or this has happened, but also, you

461
00:22:59,750 --> 00:23:02,810
know, this, like we have one strain
that Foxtails, let's say, okay,

462
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,170
well every run that it's foxtail,
man, we can't keep the temperature

463
00:23:06,170 --> 00:23:07,910
under like 85 at the end of flower.

464
00:23:07,915 --> 00:23:09,320
Like, okay, well there we go.

465
00:23:09,380 --> 00:23:11,120
Or, Hey, everything was great.

466
00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:14,990
And this thing still Fox tailed
like, oh, well maybe it's

467
00:23:14,990 --> 00:23:17,330
got kind of some undesirable
traits then that we don't like.

468
00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:21,590
And instead of wasting time trying to
manipulate different variables, we might

469
00:23:21,590 --> 00:23:23,210
just decide that's not a strain for us to.

470
00:23:24,270 --> 00:23:27,896
Jason: Yeah anecdotally I was thinking
about so like Kim, Kim dog, we used

471
00:23:27,896 --> 00:23:31,948
to run and it it was varied so that
sometimes every once in a while,

472
00:23:31,948 --> 00:23:35,032
you'd have part of the half the
leaf that that would be lighter in

473
00:23:35,032 --> 00:23:36,652
colors and a little bit of striation.

474
00:23:37,387 --> 00:23:40,687
and this is a great example where, you
know, if it's first time you saw that in

475
00:23:40,687 --> 00:23:43,898
the plant, we could go back and look at
the history of it and we'd know that, you

476
00:23:43,898 --> 00:23:46,838
know, it wasn't something like tobacco,
mosaic virus, that's hitting the plant.

477
00:23:47,108 --> 00:23:49,478
We just know that it's the
properties of that genetic cuz

478
00:23:49,478 --> 00:23:51,158
we've seen it historically as well.

479
00:23:51,488 --> 00:23:55,658
So all this information going into
to detail that the different cult

480
00:23:55,658 --> 00:23:59,138
bars brings a ton of value to what
you're doing on a daily basis.

481
00:24:00,353 --> 00:24:00,773
Seth: Oh, yeah.

482
00:24:00,833 --> 00:24:03,023
You know, I mean, there's certain
stuff, especially in the cannabis

483
00:24:03,023 --> 00:24:06,113
world, you know, I mean, we, when I
get it cut, oftentimes I don't know

484
00:24:06,113 --> 00:24:09,533
when that seed was popped, unless the
person I got it from popped the seed.

485
00:24:09,533 --> 00:24:14,663
Some of these might have been, you
know, in propagation for many, many

486
00:24:14,663 --> 00:24:16,583
generations, you know, 20 plus years.

487
00:24:16,583 --> 00:24:20,423
So sometimes we do see things like just
kinda like that slight variation, which

488
00:24:20,423 --> 00:24:23,843
is generally a somatic mutation in
that chem dog that it's susceptible to.

489
00:24:24,923 --> 00:24:28,433
If you know that that's happening,
just like Jason said, you can kind of

490
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:31,943
prepare for it and also go, okay, well,
it, it does that and we've accepted it.

491
00:24:32,003 --> 00:24:32,633
We're moving on.

492
00:24:32,723 --> 00:24:35,333
Does that bother us as growers
or does that bother the consumer?

493
00:24:36,263 --> 00:24:39,714
And you can really start to narrow
in, on some of those, those things,

494
00:24:39,714 --> 00:24:44,484
especially just because again, cyclically
so much happens that I don't, I don't

495
00:24:44,484 --> 00:24:47,424
wanna say anyone has a bad memory,
but it's really, really quick in a

496
00:24:47,424 --> 00:24:50,814
commercial situation where almost anyone
in this conversation here, you know,

497
00:24:50,814 --> 00:24:52,404
growing 50, 60, a hundred thousand.

498
00:24:54,054 --> 00:24:54,684
10 years in.

499
00:24:54,684 --> 00:24:55,524
That was a long time ago.

500
00:24:56,194 --> 00:25:00,954
that you hit that number, you know, so
it's, it's all about that registration.

501
00:25:02,184 --> 00:25:03,294
Kaisha: Knowledge really is power.

502
00:25:03,294 --> 00:25:03,774
Isn't it?

503
00:25:03,779 --> 00:25:06,290
I, I, this is so, comprehensive.

504
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,350
I actually was wondering,
we get a lot of questions.

505
00:25:09,416 --> 00:25:12,433
Oh, Michael, just ask question, Michael,
make it to your question next, but we

506
00:25:12,433 --> 00:25:17,563
get a lot of questions about ideal,
like EC ranges, for example, can this

507
00:25:17,743 --> 00:25:21,403
particular, the analytics tool kind
of help people identify trends with

508
00:25:21,403 --> 00:25:22,783
what's going on with their particular.

509
00:25:24,493 --> 00:25:25,403
Seth: Yeah, absolutely.

510
00:25:25,403 --> 00:25:27,875
Especially if you're, you know,
keeping track of your plant health,

511
00:25:27,875 --> 00:25:31,445
taking pictures, taking notes on
anything strange that might happen.

512
00:25:31,445 --> 00:25:34,925
And then also, you know, when you do take
those notes, make sure you're complete,

513
00:25:34,930 --> 00:25:38,315
you know, if you think it's a nutrient
deficiency, do your spot, check that day,

514
00:25:38,315 --> 00:25:42,575
check your feed, see, check your runoff,
get as complete of a picture as you can.

515
00:25:42,580 --> 00:25:45,755
Because as far as EC ranges go,
that's something we're dialing

516
00:25:45,755 --> 00:25:47,075
for every specific strain.

517
00:25:47,645 --> 00:25:49,385
The range on 'em is quite wide and.

518
00:25:50,285 --> 00:25:52,295
At the end of the day, I'll say
it, they call it weed for a reason.

519
00:25:52,295 --> 00:25:53,315
It's very adaptable.

520
00:25:53,945 --> 00:25:57,185
I can take the same strain and actually
grow it at two different EC levels.

521
00:25:57,185 --> 00:26:00,455
And as long as I apply that EC
in the right manner, I'm gonna

522
00:26:00,455 --> 00:26:01,715
get a really similar result.

523
00:26:01,715 --> 00:26:03,485
It's about adapting the plant to that.

524
00:26:04,295 --> 00:26:07,069
And that's where we can start
to kind of catalog this stuff.

525
00:26:07,069 --> 00:26:09,259
We can say, okay, here
was the graph we had.

526
00:26:09,289 --> 00:26:10,129
Here's some pictures.

527
00:26:10,129 --> 00:26:10,939
Here's the yield.

528
00:26:11,269 --> 00:26:11,989
Here's our quality.

529
00:26:11,989 --> 00:26:13,309
What, what can I deduce from that?

530
00:26:13,309 --> 00:26:15,289
The higher EC run gave me better quality.

531
00:26:15,319 --> 00:26:15,679
Cool.

532
00:26:15,739 --> 00:26:19,249
I'm gonna go with higher EC the
lower EC run gave me better yield.

533
00:26:19,654 --> 00:26:20,584
And the same quality.

534
00:26:20,614 --> 00:26:20,884
Cool.

535
00:26:20,944 --> 00:26:22,334
We're gonna go at the lower EC run.

536
00:26:22,363 --> 00:26:26,503
There are no hard, fast rules on EC,
other than, you know, there, there are

537
00:26:26,593 --> 00:26:29,983
some definite upward limits where you
start to get to a point where a plant

538
00:26:29,983 --> 00:26:31,813
can't actually live in that salty water.

539
00:26:32,563 --> 00:26:36,313
But as far as basic ranges go, I
mean, it's, it's very, very wide and

540
00:26:36,318 --> 00:26:40,813
it has a lot more to do again about
application of that EC over time

541
00:26:40,813 --> 00:26:43,511
and how well you're adapting your
plant to live in that environment.

542
00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:45,820
Kaisha: One of our attendees
posted question here, and Michael,

543
00:26:45,820 --> 00:26:46,840
you're welcome to unmute yourself.

544
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,680
You wanna add to it, but he's asking
if we can cover dry weight analytics

545
00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,310
grams per square foot wet versus
dry weight retention, et cetera.

546
00:26:56,740 --> 00:26:57,220
Jason: Sure.

547
00:26:57,356 --> 00:26:57,626
To it.

548
00:26:57,626 --> 00:26:59,726
Should I bulb the interface
here and we can show again?

549
00:26:59,731 --> 00:26:59,826
Yeah.

550
00:26:59,826 --> 00:27:00,026
All

551
00:27:01,856 --> 00:27:05,096
Seth: just look at like facility
performance and start going from there.

552
00:27:08,156 --> 00:27:11,126
Touch on a little bit about how
we gather these analytics and what

553
00:27:11,126 --> 00:27:12,326
they mean when we're looking at it.

554
00:27:15,641 --> 00:27:15,911
Jason: Yeah.

555
00:27:15,911 --> 00:27:20,305
So, let's just get started obviously some
of this yield information here, if we're

556
00:27:20,305 --> 00:27:24,730
in the facility performance page, we can
take a look at yields total per cycle per

557
00:27:24,730 --> 00:27:26,470
total, per square foot, total per plant.

558
00:27:26,470 --> 00:27:30,445
We can to do some by wet weight,
dry weight waste amounts.

559
00:27:30,715 --> 00:27:33,767
So, you know, as far as driveway
specifically Obviously some

560
00:27:33,767 --> 00:27:36,587
people do a little bit of
different types of benchmarks.

561
00:27:36,587 --> 00:27:39,467
When we talk about dry weight, you
know, is it dry weight on stem?

562
00:27:39,467 --> 00:27:40,997
Is it dry weight after we've bucked?

563
00:27:40,997 --> 00:27:43,547
It does our dry weight include trim.

564
00:27:43,947 --> 00:27:47,177
And that's something that we
haven't necessarily made a clear

565
00:27:47,177 --> 00:27:48,437
definition in the software.

566
00:27:48,437 --> 00:27:52,887
It's and there's a good reason why,
because we want you guys to keep doing it

567
00:27:52,887 --> 00:27:54,407
the way that you have been tracking it.

568
00:27:54,407 --> 00:27:57,647
So your, your yield information
is consistently comparable

569
00:27:57,647 --> 00:27:58,687
throughout, throughout the.

570
00:27:59,122 --> 00:28:03,482
And so obviously when you do go in
here, keep in mind with your staff,

571
00:28:03,482 --> 00:28:05,492
how, how are they, they tracking this?

572
00:28:05,492 --> 00:28:10,935
What, what, what is the reason that
you're looking at that specific group of

573
00:28:10,935 --> 00:28:11,985
Seth: weight, if you will.

574
00:28:15,105 --> 00:28:15,375
Yeah.

575
00:28:15,375 --> 00:28:17,835
And I mean, one thing to touch
on really grants for square foot

576
00:28:17,835 --> 00:28:20,355
or Roy is calculating that based
on your zone square footage.

577
00:28:20,355 --> 00:28:21,135
So that's looking at.

578
00:28:22,325 --> 00:28:24,785
Basically how much yield you're
reporting off of that room.

579
00:28:24,875 --> 00:28:28,295
If we have one harvest group, one room,
we're gonna take that total yield, divide

580
00:28:28,295 --> 00:28:31,535
that by the number of actual canopy
square feet, we have pull that number.

581
00:28:32,225 --> 00:28:35,285
And then as far as wet versus dry
retention, that's straight up that

582
00:28:35,285 --> 00:28:37,235
ratio we're looking at at 102.

583
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:39,900
10 20, 30, whatever it ends up being.

584
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,054
That's, that's where that
is being pulled from.

585
00:28:42,084 --> 00:28:45,834
As far as drying goes, though, we
do always try to point towards, and

586
00:28:45,834 --> 00:28:49,914
it's a manual entry right now, water
activity, as a marker of when your

587
00:28:49,914 --> 00:28:51,594
plant is actually ready to come down.

588
00:28:51,599 --> 00:28:55,494
And, you know, I mean also when we're
talking about dry weight, when important

589
00:28:55,499 --> 00:28:59,304
thing to remember is although we're
using a water activity meter to really

590
00:28:59,304 --> 00:29:00,804
determine when that plant is done.

591
00:29:02,559 --> 00:29:04,329
That doesn't mean it's always done curing.

592
00:29:04,539 --> 00:29:08,829
And part of that curing process is
homogenization of moisture inside the bud.

593
00:29:08,829 --> 00:29:11,169
So we're gonna have parts of the
bud that are dryer parts of the bud

594
00:29:11,169 --> 00:29:12,999
that are less dry that's partially.

595
00:29:12,999 --> 00:29:13,209
Why.

596
00:29:13,239 --> 00:29:13,449
Okay.

597
00:29:13,449 --> 00:29:17,649
Maybe if we hit that 0.6 water activity,
someone goes and tries to smoke that

598
00:29:17,649 --> 00:29:19,149
bud part of it burns in the inside.

599
00:29:19,154 --> 00:29:21,309
Doesn't very well while
it's water on the inside.

600
00:29:21,309 --> 00:29:21,639
So.

601
00:29:22,344 --> 00:29:26,094
That's a very dynamic measurement
that you want to take over time.

602
00:29:26,094 --> 00:29:29,064
And although there might not be a
lot of variation in it, we might

603
00:29:29,064 --> 00:29:32,904
wanna expect it to stay at 0.6 over
a long period of time, not return

604
00:29:32,909 --> 00:29:34,284
to it and retest it and go, okay.

605
00:29:34,284 --> 00:29:38,484
Now I've only got 0.5 after we've
even out the content in this material.

606
00:29:38,484 --> 00:29:38,934
So.

607
00:29:39,969 --> 00:29:41,439
dry weight is very important.

608
00:29:41,527 --> 00:29:44,437
Looking at your ratio as Jason
saying earlier of, you know,

609
00:29:44,557 --> 00:29:46,327
flower to trim, that's huge.

610
00:29:47,377 --> 00:29:48,097
We're looking at that.

611
00:29:48,097 --> 00:29:51,067
That's gonna make a lot of steering
decisions for us and potentially

612
00:29:51,067 --> 00:29:52,147
genetic decisions as well.

613
00:29:53,467 --> 00:29:56,917
Jason: Oh, one of the things that I
used to find is I would build out my

614
00:29:56,917 --> 00:30:01,326
projections and through each stage
when I was capturing you know, a choke

615
00:30:01,326 --> 00:30:03,531
point of information, Wet weight.

616
00:30:03,531 --> 00:30:06,964
For example, I go back and kind
of reprocessed my projections.

617
00:30:07,264 --> 00:30:12,786
So we, you know, we know we're hitting
saved 18% retention from our wet weight.

618
00:30:13,116 --> 00:30:15,876
And we've got some new numbers
for our wet weight coming in.

619
00:30:15,881 --> 00:30:19,746
Well, if we've got a higher wet weight,
then we had projected for now, we can

620
00:30:19,746 --> 00:30:24,246
rerun those numbers and, and kind of
get closer and closer to the exact

621
00:30:24,456 --> 00:30:26,016
amount that we're gonna be pulling down.

622
00:30:27,276 --> 00:30:27,456
Seth: Yeah.

623
00:30:27,456 --> 00:30:29,796
And that's, that's the goal
of all this in the end, right.

624
00:30:29,796 --> 00:30:31,026
Is to be able to predict how.

625
00:30:31,611 --> 00:30:33,891
How much product we're gonna
have for sale in a few months.

626
00:30:33,891 --> 00:30:37,461
Like if we can't do that, it makes
it really hard to run a business.

627
00:30:37,461 --> 00:30:41,384
You know, any kind of manufacturing
process is most profitable when you can

628
00:30:41,504 --> 00:30:43,634
monitor your inputs versus your outputs.

629
00:30:43,694 --> 00:30:47,444
And if we're not looking at what our
outputs are, especially in terms of

630
00:30:47,444 --> 00:30:51,584
what we have as saleable product,
then it's really hard to get an eye.

631
00:30:52,829 --> 00:30:54,149
How successful are we being?

632
00:30:54,269 --> 00:30:55,859
Cause yeah, at the end of the
day, it all comes down to that.

633
00:30:56,249 --> 00:30:59,639
Not just the yield and weight, obviously
the quality, but the final product.

634
00:30:59,639 --> 00:31:03,629
If that's not what we need to sell
it, wasn't worth it to grow it.

635
00:31:03,634 --> 00:31:07,139
And that's where we've really gotta
kind of narrow that in and make sure

636
00:31:07,139 --> 00:31:11,699
we're, we're creating a product that
your company is able to sell and

637
00:31:11,699 --> 00:31:13,049
is the product that you wanna sell

638
00:31:14,279 --> 00:31:14,579
Jason: cat.

639
00:31:14,579 --> 00:31:20,028
And, you know, as with, with any
any cyclical growing cycles, we are.

640
00:31:20,718 --> 00:31:25,308
Trying to get as much data and
so that we can really dial in

641
00:31:25,398 --> 00:31:26,748
what those projections look like.

642
00:31:27,108 --> 00:31:31,248
If you've only got maybe three runs on
a specific strain, we can't expect our

643
00:31:31,277 --> 00:31:35,500
projections to be nearly as accurate as
if we've got 30 or 40 runs on a strain.

644
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:39,281
And, you know, kind of looks like that,
that confidence in a role, our confidence

645
00:31:39,281 --> 00:31:42,701
band, I was talking about where the,
the more data that we've captured,

646
00:31:42,971 --> 00:31:46,724
the, the tighter that we, we know we're
gonna hit with with that product coming.

647
00:31:48,194 --> 00:31:48,374
Kaisha: Yeah.

648
00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:50,834
At the end of the day, it's ensuring
the longevity of your business.

649
00:31:50,834 --> 00:31:51,194
Right?

650
00:31:51,194 --> 00:31:54,998
So kind of updating the skillset all
these talented growers out there just

651
00:31:54,998 --> 00:31:58,298
like work with the data to help you
achieve the goals that you wanna achieve.

652
00:31:58,478 --> 00:32:00,228
Michael, thank you so
much for your question.

653
00:32:00,230 --> 00:32:02,600
The questions are not really
coming in live that's okay.

654
00:32:02,780 --> 00:32:06,315
I have one more question here and you
know, we'll see if some more come in.

655
00:32:06,339 --> 00:32:07,929
I was just wondering if there's a.

656
00:32:08,599 --> 00:32:11,479
Feature within the harvest group
analytics that you guys wish

657
00:32:11,479 --> 00:32:13,099
more clients took advantage of.

658
00:32:13,165 --> 00:32:15,955
Maybe they're not aware of it
or forget about it, but yeah.

659
00:32:15,955 --> 00:32:19,533
What would you like, what would you like
to see more clients really utilize and,

660
00:32:19,533 --> 00:32:22,034
and embrace in their business practices?

661
00:32:23,084 --> 00:32:23,634
Jason: Pictures?

662
00:32:23,634 --> 00:32:26,300
I used to take a ton of pictures
as a cultivator was something

663
00:32:26,300 --> 00:32:27,650
I really, really enjoyed.

664
00:32:27,950 --> 00:32:29,791
And it's something that kind of
brought me to the point where.

665
00:32:30,531 --> 00:32:33,801
Train my brain into picking
out any mistakes in the garden.

666
00:32:33,801 --> 00:32:37,284
If my fer was labeled wrong, we
took some cuts off the wrong mom,

667
00:32:37,554 --> 00:32:38,844
any of those type of mistakes.

668
00:32:38,853 --> 00:32:43,036
The more pictures you take, the better
visual recognition you have of what to,

669
00:32:43,366 --> 00:32:45,436
what to expect throughout that grow cycle.

670
00:32:46,736 --> 00:32:48,046
Seth: Yeah, pictures.

671
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:48,526
Great.

672
00:32:48,556 --> 00:32:50,236
I, I was personally
gonna say manual reading.

673
00:32:50,866 --> 00:32:55,354
You know, I've definitely noticed a
habit among some growers, especially

674
00:32:55,354 --> 00:32:59,016
once they get you know, electronic
data logging involved to kind of veer

675
00:32:59,016 --> 00:33:02,076
away from taking spot measurements and
taking the daily notes that they need

676
00:33:02,081 --> 00:33:03,927
to aro makes that incredibly easy.

677
00:33:04,257 --> 00:33:08,997
To just do that on your phone or your
tablet or the computer either way,

678
00:33:08,997 --> 00:33:12,597
but the plus button plus add a note
or add a reading is very easy to use.

679
00:33:12,597 --> 00:33:16,377
It's not time consuming and it's
skipping that step of like, I, I

680
00:33:16,382 --> 00:33:18,927
used to take notes, but they didn't
always make it into the computer.

681
00:33:19,617 --> 00:33:20,847
Now we're dumping it right.

682
00:33:20,847 --> 00:33:22,987
All into one spot where
we can access it later.

683
00:33:22,998 --> 00:33:25,938
That's, that's a huge thing I found,
right, right up there with not taking

684
00:33:25,938 --> 00:33:30,516
pictures  and not keeping just general
track of cultivation processes.

685
00:33:30,517 --> 00:33:33,577
I, but personally I would love to see
more of my customers use those manual

686
00:33:33,577 --> 00:33:36,937
readings, cuz that gives us, that's
all the things we can't see with AUR

687
00:33:37,297 --> 00:33:38,527
and they're all there for a reason.

688
00:33:38,647 --> 00:33:39,547
They're all important.

689
00:33:39,547 --> 00:33:42,757
And if you want a holistic look
at what's going on, we need

690
00:33:42,757 --> 00:33:44,107
to see all those variables.

691
00:33:46,552 --> 00:33:47,002
Kaisha: Amazing.

692
00:33:47,002 --> 00:33:47,782
I'm here for it.

693
00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:50,020
You guys, we don't have any
live questions coming in.

694
00:33:50,020 --> 00:33:53,020
I guess everybody's all set
on crop steering and sensors.

695
00:33:53,070 --> 00:33:55,594
But yeah, this is a
great overview actually.

696
00:33:55,594 --> 00:33:58,384
So, you know, aro customers
definitely take full advantage

697
00:33:58,384 --> 00:33:59,674
of your harvest group analytics.

698
00:33:59,674 --> 00:34:03,134
There's so much that can
be learned from that.

699
00:34:03,134 --> 00:34:05,191
I think we're gonna wrap
it up a little bit early.

700
00:34:05,191 --> 00:34:08,701
Seth, Jason, anything you wanna
say before we, before we go.

701
00:34:11,266 --> 00:34:12,646
Jason: I think we're good over here.

702
00:34:12,736 --> 00:34:13,006
Seth: Yeah.

703
00:34:13,006 --> 00:34:14,776
Keep, keep having fun growing out there.

704
00:34:14,836 --> 00:34:18,856
We're I know I'm always stoked to be part
of an industry where all my customers are

705
00:34:18,856 --> 00:34:20,506
also stoked to be part of the industry.

706
00:34:20,746 --> 00:34:20,806
Yeah.

707
00:34:20,811 --> 00:34:23,176
It's always great interacting
with our customers and we love it.

708
00:34:23,836 --> 00:34:24,946
Kaisha: I so agree with that.

709
00:34:24,946 --> 00:34:27,568
Yeah, no, we, we this is a
dynamic exciting industry.

710
00:34:27,568 --> 00:34:29,968
It could be frustrating at
times, but I don't know.

711
00:34:29,968 --> 00:34:31,078
I don't wanna be anywhere else.

712
00:34:31,078 --> 00:34:31,798
How about you guys?

713
00:34:33,793 --> 00:34:34,393
Seth: Not really.

714
00:34:34,933 --> 00:34:38,323
There's far less, far less exciting parts
of agriculture to be in that's for sure.

715
00:34:38,323 --> 00:34:38,443
Yeah.

716
00:34:40,063 --> 00:34:40,543
Kaisha: that's it.

717
00:34:40,603 --> 00:34:41,053
Wow.

718
00:34:41,773 --> 00:34:42,433
Thank you.

719
00:34:42,438 --> 00:34:42,763
Set.

720
00:34:42,853 --> 00:34:44,963
