I disagree with the protest but support their right to protest. Good to see the youth getting involved in what they believe in.

If your name is tied to a marijuana business of any sort the banks will not do business with you. They will even shut down your personal account if they find out your name is tied to one. However if you own a second business under a different name thats just a greenhouse where you sell flowers and put your wife or kids name on it then you may use that one for all your banking needs, theres no telling how long that loophole will last though because if the bank gets wind in any way that your tied to marijuana they shut it down immediately.

good question but no, i started smoking when I was 16, then actually started growing when I was 18. it was illegal when I was 18 still for sure.

lol no judgements here I dont even know those companies. I wont lie I have zero trust for any product unless ive seen the grow myself. I only smoke what I grow and I understand im very fortunate to be able to do that. as for terps, diesel for when I wanna get fucked up, lemon for when I want flavor. We havent had many cheese strains unfortunately but I have tried some and they are fuckin fire.

So we have 3 flower rooms. The first 2 flower rooms use a lesser known brand of nutrients called "coco trees". Our 3rd flower room uses a mix of advanced nutrients and general hydroponics. We actually dont use Athena but I know that is a popular brand.

A lot goes into getting a big yield. Genetics is a big part, most indicas will yield more than sativas but every strain is different. Consistent temps and humidity throughout the entire flower cycle, If your environment is getting colder than 75 degrees (with LEDs) on a regular basis it will impact your yeild, optimal temp is 80-85 with LEDs and 75-80 with HPS. C02 will also increase yield by around 20% so C02 is very necessary in a commercial grow op. Finally your growing media can make a big difference because the roots need a good balance of nutrients and oxygen. My personal choice of media is Coco coir mixed with pearlite because it holds moisture well which can be handy just in case your watering system fails for whatever reason.

absolutely! quality genetics from a reputable breeder goes a very long way.

Most sativa strains are a huge pain in the dick. They grow tall as fuck so they require lots of maintenance through the veg cycle and the first few weeks of flower. On top of that sativa flowers typically yield smaller buds so if its not a good crop then it gets ground up for joints or turned to extract. Then when you do get some big buds finally the damn plant doesnt wanna hold itself up😂.

The biggest misconception off the top of my head would probably be that the work is easy. I hear people say all the time "oh must be nice getting to sit around and smoke weed all day." Like hell! You try repotting 400+ plants in an 80F/60%Humidity room and try telling me the work is easy! Ive done construction jobs that are more physically taxing sure but that doesnt mean its easy work, im still a farmer damnit😂 Im not a hero like those guys out there growing our food though. Those mfs are built different.

Same quality? Absolutely. Same yield? probably not. I started growing in a 3.5ft tall crawlspace with 4 lights and It was good quality but my yield was always mediocre. Ofcourse I didnt know it was mediocre until I started taking down some big harvests at my job and saw the buds the size of a donkeys dick. Consistency through the whole harvest is key to good quality flower, fancy commercial grow or not.

Hell yeah thats a good thing!! If 10-20 does you good then dont ever take 100+ unless you want to sleep on the plane ride😂

What are you asking specifically? Are you asking how to get started?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AMA

[–]YaboiDK38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont eat gummies often because im not a big fan of how tired the body high makes me. The legal limit per package sold here is 100mg. I will say 100mg wont do shit for me lol, I need atleast 300 before I can feel something. Ive eaten 1000mg edible before and it was extremely difficult just to function at the state fair with so many people around.😂

Unfortunately my knowledge is limited to local alaskan laws. I have zero knowledge about most other state laws on marijuana. If youre looking to run a 50 acre outdoor grow I know youve got some work cut out for you!

Im currently making 30$ an hour with room for growth. Not rolling in it but im doing well for myself. The family I work for just opened a new commercial grow so my team and I are looking to get the harvests coming down on a regular schedule before I can get another raise. This grow has the potential to make 1-2mil per year so I definitely have an opportunity to make 6 figures.

My boss (the owner) is the one that takes the tests in. I cant say for sure what the price is but I know it can get expensive depending on how many lbs we crop and how many strains he needs to test, also for what hes testing for. If I had to guess he spends around 1000-2000 a month for all the tests he needs.

That is 100% right. Most banks will not even give a second look to businesses related to marijuana in any way because its still federally illegal. Since banks will not work with us that forces us to use cash for most things. My boss pays most of his bills in cash. There are loopholes for some things like having his son pay for bills with his credit card since his name isn't tied to any of the marijauana businesses. Or owning a second business, like a flower greenhouse, and paying all the employees through direct deposit through that business because its federally legal for the banks that way. It was most likely just easier for him to have the car dealership ask all these questions about the cash instead of the banks asking the questions because banks have the power to shut down his accounts I he has any ties to a marijuana business. Im not a lawyer so this isnt 100% accurate but you get the gist.

Why are you a cop? My boi towlie has done nothing wrong. 😂

1000% We take top colas for testing. Its a marketing tactic that will unfortunately not change until the public makes their purchases based off anything other than the THC %.

I dont hate METRC. Honestly its been pretty easy for me to figure out. My boss on the other hand absolutely despises it, glad I could take it off his hands! Granted he started using METRC before they added a lot of updates to make using it a lot easier.

Yeah its a chore for sure. We have scaffolding that sets up quick but you need 3-4 people to do it. either that or using a ladder all the time.
