Summary
I have been in working in the cannabis industry in Portland, Oregon for the past ten years, and have recently moved back to Northwest Arkansas. I am well versed in making products such as medibles, full extract oils, and tinctures, and am knowledgeable about the effects of the various strains. I have worked at Farmer's Markets selling and educating patients about my products. My specialty is in growing quality cannabis, maximizing yields, indoor and outdoor, and in cloning and transplanting. I am very knowledgeable about pests, diseases, and treatments for these conditions.
