What’s in the interview? Thanks for joining me. Care to introduce yourself to the audience?
How long have you been growing? You lived in Alaska prior to Hawaii? Any opinions on Alaskan Cannabis?
When/Why did you relocate to Hawaii? How did you transition from houseplants in Alaska to cannabis in Hawaii?
Did you plan to enter the cannabis space? Tell us about your facility build-out Old banana farm
Why indoor? In a place with a year round growing season? Challenges Any bureaucratic hurdles?
Hawaii is understandably concerned about invasive species and has very strict rules on products coming in and out -
Does this affect your ability to get the supplies and equipment you need?
Will these requirements present any potential roadblocks to Hawaii based growers expanding into other states in the future? Big Island Grown is a vertically integrated company - how many licenses? What strains are you growing?
I understand you are a nearly 100% sustainable indoor grow - Tell us more about the sustainability components of Big Island Grown Is this something other growers are trying to implement?
You also have an in-house microbial test lab - pretty rare for a cannabis company:
What made you decide to set up your own lab? What are the biggest microbial issues for Hawaii growers?
How do you deal with the microbial & pest issues that come with cultivating in the sub-tropics?
History of Hawaii cannabis culture; what’s the reasoning for this? Is there a lot of public interest in the recreational market? Future of Cannabis in general? Will the feds ever legalize? What’s the timeline in your opinion?
What is the biggest challenge in getting not just the country, but the world to support the cannabis plant?
Any new projects you’d like to discuss? Expansion? New Products? Anything else you’d care to mention?
