I guess that all depends on how much you spend on irrigation, how dedicated you are, etc. I did 1k outdoor plants last year with NO irrigation and it was a huge challenge..
looking for like square footage.
Could you elaborate on what you mean with quality? I had a hard time understanding. I am looking to produce high quality bud.
read the end of my post
I think he means the more time you have to give to each plant, the better the bud will be. What kind of grows have you done successfully?
There's an active retail market in my state. There's dispensaries all over the place but it's hard to find good tasting quality bud. This is why I grow my own. Most commercial growing operations in MIchigan chop their crop strictly by the calendar. Dried but not cured and without much taste, often harsh and although prices have dropped some it's still more expensive than it should be.
How many plants can you give individual attention to? This to me means watered and fed individually based on its needs. This is why "commercially grown" and "connoisseur quality" are usually not found together.
very organized, planning to be my only job, no kids and potentially live at the site amongst the plants as their leaves as my bed... XD jk about the using the leaves as my bed but i'm fully committed to this with no other obligations and believe have the necessary finances. I want to start the biggest I can manage myself before I expand to where I need others there.
Just to clarify, you say you've done zero grows and you plan on starting a commercial operation, alone, is that correct?
If you control the environment properly you shouldn't have too much to worry about. I know how to do it, germinate, seedling, veg, flower, dry, cure, store, different par spectrums and level of ppfd for different stages, different nutes and concentrations, different humidities. I plan on doing grodan cubes with a drip irrigation system. I think I got this just need to figure out the things i'm unsure about like how much square footage or plants one could handle with a irrigation/fertigation system. I'm trying to not let fear hold me back.
There’s multiple pictures of commercial grow rooms online. None are set up as you are picturing.Let fear hold you back. Powdery mildew. Better be spray preventative. Same for bugs. Need to defoliate or strip the lowers? I’ll be starting out with 55-60 plants. I’ve actually already started with seeds in cubes and on the mats.
Ohhh okay, I see!! Is that all it is?? Pfff, cake walk. Yeah, just the small things, gotcha
Jungle Boys grow, Stiizy, many smaller grows and grows that don't grow cannabis use grodan rock wool with drip emitters so I don't know what part you're saying they aren't set up like that unless you mean smaller grows or something.
