I’m currently processing rosin for a small business that holds a cultivation and solventless manufacturing license just outside Albuquerque in New Mexico.
The business is owned and the cultivation side is run by a couple that have been very good to me and a pleasure to work with. I can tell their hearts are in the right place and they have put their life into their farm.
They had 2 beautiful greenhouses newly constructed and that were very sturdy at the beginning of today, each with about 200 babies they had planted 5 days ago.
Here’s what they looked like a week ago…
I was stoked to have a full greenhouse of the same pheno of strawberry guava genetics that I’ve been washing over the last 2 days. It was a super loud, greasy dumper for water hash/live rosin…
Then… this happened…
Eveeything is obliterated.
They tried to get it under control but the wind is hitting tropical storm speeds up to 80+ mph still as I write this. It is wimdy enough to uproot small trees and lift large dogs off the ground. They had to just watch from safety as the wind deconstructed everything right before their eyes.
I am less than a mile away but cannot even step outside becuase tree branches, small rocks and other debris is flying through the air right now.
I’m doubtful anything growing in there is salvageable…some of the structure could be.
I will assess damage when it’s safe to do so tonight or tomorrow.
Its obviously a devastating blow to these people and they’ve been very respectable amd kind in my dealings with them as I built out and launched there lab over last 2 months.
I know their budget for plants was depleted after filling both houses.
They have a solid radiant heating system running through the bottoms of the raised beds to climatize the space for out of season crops.
If anyone in the Southwest has good gentics for solventless and clones/teens ready to go please hmu.
They don’t know I’m posting this and I’m not exactly sure what the aftermath will be or how exactly anyone can help. I just think they couod use some community support and also wanted to share the experience with you guys.
Has anyone else in the panhadle/southwest region gotten wiped out today? It’s fucking crazy outside.
Be safe
