" Both Ted and Neema have built large brands while maintaining a reputation for consistently developing the kinds of heat strains that turn connoisseurs’ heads. That’s only possible because they continually engage in intensive research and discovery efforts in search of the elite varieties among their breeding stock. For both of these busy executives, that means keeping up a vigorous Cannabis testing schedule. Neema described smoking a couple of grams of flower a day for the last 24 years (minus a few tolerance breaks). While Ted confirmed it can be a struggle to keep up on all his “homework,” as Alien Labs tests 5,000 seeds a year, representing 2,500 phenotypes. Fortunately, the outdoor speaker stage at Hall of Flowers Santa Rosa was located right next to the onsite consumption area, so after their session wrapped up, both entrepreneurs could get right back to work. " https://lnkd.in/e4vu2xuX John McCooe

"The labor market is actually in solid condition — and our intention with our policy move today is to keep it there," Fed chair Jerome Powell told reporters at a press conference on Wednesday. "The U.S. economy is in good shape. It's growing at a solid pace," Powell added. "We want to keep it there." Zoom in: The rate cut reflects the U.S. entering a new phase where the softening job market is the predominant economic risk — rather than elevated inflation. By going with an aggressive half-point cut instead of its more traditional quarter-point adjustment, the Fed moved to get ahead of some evident faltering in the job market. However, new projections imply the Fed will shift toward smaller quarter-point rate cuts from here” https://lnkd.in/eKKzBSQB
