Quality Control
Denver’s new requirements have resulted in closure of numerous indoor cultivation facilities in Colorado. In these cases, poor choices 5 to 10 years ago have left chemical residue that can’t be cleaned. This is foreshadowing of what is soon to come in all states. Because of our reputation in Colorado, we have participated in product trials for the cutting edge organic pest control solutions. We have a fully vetted IPM system that includes biological and OMRI-rated controls. Budo Bud takes pride in their ethical grow techniques and bringing a clean, high quality cannabis product to our users.
Growing to scale
Scalability is an area where most groups not only struggle, but fail. It is in this area that Budo Bud sets themselves apart from other cultivation management companies. Cultivating cannabis since 2010 our S.O.P. was developed utilizing Six Sigma Principles and has proven success in facilities as small as 5,000 sf and as large as 100,000 sf with sites in Colorado, California, Arizona and Oklahoma.
Profitability
Product and yield consistency is achieved by following our proven methods and nutrient schedules. Since we treat cultivation as a science and not an art, the results are quantifiable and the procedures are replicable. A lower cost of goods can be achieved through 1 of 2 ways, reducing the budget or increasing the yield. We attack this issue at both ends. Using lean manufacturing, we can reduce labor and consumables. But more importantly, our process will increase yield. In our experience, a double digit percentage increase in yield can result in a triple digit percentage increase in profitability.
