We see your point, but these plants are still outdoor grown, so we are not talking the potency or other quality properties of an indoor grown properly nourished plant (even though the Moroccan climate especially in the Rif Mountains seems to be highly suited for producing quite high yielding plants
).
Not knowing anything about the specifics of yields at various levels of sieving we can still try a hypothetical yield calculation the following way.
From 100 grams of “flower” (being probably a lot less trimmed and “refined” than the buds and even shake that a lot seem to equate it to) you could, following a cascading principle, hypothetically get:
1 gram of tier one product
4-6 grams of tier two product
8-12 grams of tier three product
With maybe a little more of the tier three or a fourth tier that is of very poor quality but possibly still marketable you could, in this hypothetical scenario get anywhere between 13 and 20something grams of product on your 100 grams of pretty low quality “flower” (compared to the quality you would expect for a bud in say a coffeeshop or a dispensary).
Now, as stated, we know nothing about the specifics about the yields, but as stated in the video posted previously the third sieve they have (the “zero”) is cut before it is sold, which of course could also happen to the tier two stuff without it affecting the quality of the tier one product while still improving the overall economy of the entire operation.
Factor in such things as vertical integration of their supply chain, a steady offtake and (as far as that could be possible in this quasi-legal mishmash) long term agreements, along with the improvements to farming and processing that several sources have reported (stemming from many different sources) it is not as farfetched as some adamantly claim it to be that the number quoted is maybe, possibly not the inaccurate. That has been our point for a while, and that may to some make us blind “fanboys” (btw how many of you have actually sampled the product you are dissing, we did so last Sunday and a few days before that?), but at least it is an
argument.
Thanks for your input on the subject Marok, you seem to always have a constructive way of approaching an argument.
