Don’t Be Afraid to Network. Brandon Caffrey, assistant general manager and director of marketing at Creekside Cannabis in Beaver Creek, Wash., admits that even as an experienced cultivator or grower, you won’t always have the answer to a problem—or even to a simple question. That’s why his team relies on networking with others in the cannabis industry to discover the best methods for producing top-quality cannabis. Growing the perfect cannabis plant, Caffrey says, “is part trial and error, but the other part is networking. We have definitely networked as much as we can,” adding that the team has reached out to others in Washington as well as “in Denver and other markets.”
