Keep up with demand?

Hello! Since I became a caregiver fulltime, I have had a rough time trying to keep up with the demand of how much herb people can take in at a given time. With about 2 weeks to a month veg and about two to three months of flower, how do you grow out enough bud so that you can keep up with it?
On a limited plant count, how do dispensaries grow out a single crop that will last them untill their next? Perpetual? I do that but maybe I am doing it wrong because I still run out sometimes.
Makes me wonder what I can do to improve!

Don't they get it from multiple sources?

Why should that mean it isn't real?

Some dispensaries do. 30% of it, anyway, here in Colorado.

I was wondering about that fairly new law you speak of goes in Colorado. I think it was on the NORML site I read how all of the dispensaries had to start producing minimum 70 percent of what they sell. And I was wondering how places that were buying all or most of their inventory are now switching to growing. I bet this opens up a bunch of job opportunities for experienced cultivators.

Look into perpetual harvesting, where ya put new plants into your flower room every two weeks so you have a harvest two weeks apart from eachother. Other than that you could look into tossing autoflowers in your veg room while your other plants are vegging.
Just my 2 cents

I run a perpetual right now. With such a limited plant count, it's hard to do that and make any real quantity. I was just wondering if there were tricks growers use to do it.
And I have been looking for a job as a cultivator. None such luck.
