Building a Cannabis Grow Facility is no easy task...
Too often we see small hobbyists (even great ones), falsely assume that simply applying what they do in their 800 cubic ft grow in a 2500 cubic foot grow and find out quickly at a certain Sq ft/cubic foot it's a whole new ballgame, same goes for those with a 2500 cu/ft grow scaling to 5 -10k Sq feet...
At scale things get exponentially harder, not only do more moving parts bring obvious challenges, a larger work force, more area in which enviorment must be strictly controlled, employees must be vetted and tasked appropriately...At scale a "floating" set of employees is extremely inefficient...
I could literally write a 20 page paper of the proper systems, management, work flow, logistics, location, pest control, quality control, compliance, license procurement, and more...
As BIG CANNABIS spends millions using all the most state of the art systems, understands the importance of calculating ROI on every single choice made, cost benefit analysis, the necessity of a proper budget, not taking on more than they can handle, understanding the laws, regulations and compliance issues..
This simply means in order to remain competitive you must ensure the same or better building, planning, etc to ensure a competitive quality product at a competitive price, while having the ability to pay the right employees, many of whom have skills and experience in very high demand and require a salary that reflects this...
The battle between the Federal Government and State Gorernment, Interstate commerce of h**p products, the list goes on and on...
And while the Federal Authorities have made a shift in respecting States laws, and even seems to be moving toward AT LEAST the end of medical prohibition of Cannabis, one must recognize the risks associated with this and even new challenges Federal deprohibition brings with it...Back up plans, such as moving to other crops, converting to industrial h**p manufacture, or other continuity plans need to be well though out and ready should a worst case scenario occur
Automation and reducing maintenance costs by making sure you have the right cultivation experts, highly effective and well trained team, and location can be the difference between survival and being a costly and destructive mistake...
In addition, choosing the right method of growing for your individual situation...Soil, cocoa, peat, DWC , ebb and flow, ebb and flood, NFT, drip irrigation, aeroponics, and more...
Then choosing nutrient regime , supplementation, flushing techniques, organic? Chemical? Etc...
Last but not least and there are certainly many other factors from a engineerinng standpoint your average contractor won't even consider, but making sure you have the proper redundancy systems in place.
Sensors, for water/air pumps, knowing what enviormental, light, hydroponic controls are prone to fail and having backups or maintenance on hand to fix the issue..
No matter what type, quality, and cost.. Even the best planning and proper layouts you use, certain equipment failure is inevtable, knowing which systems are most vital and which are the most likely to fail can and will save you tens of thousands of dollars or more in the long run...
One failed hydroponic pump can kill countless plants if you don't have a backup or more importantly a system In place to alert the grower(s) of the failure before its too late..
The most reliable equipment, backup systems available or even built in, pressure sensors for water and / or air pumps, lighting, HVAC, electrical sensors and many other systems which can potentially fail and are not obvious to the ppl in charge is a highly important process in the proper design of a commercial grow...
And this is a few of the main challenges and understanding one must have it certainly isn't all of them ....In fact, this just scratches the surface...
With an owner with 20 years of cultivating experience from closet grows to 10,000sq ft scale, and a team, most of whom grew up together and have different and unique skills and q combined 100+ years of cultivating experience, They ha
Have learned through experience, traveling the country and touring the most advanced indoor and outdoor grows the obvious Dos qnd Don't and the not so obvious ones...
In Addition to having a large amount of knowledge, experience, and passion for the Cannabis plant, it's undeniable and huge list of medical benefits, the founder has well over 15 years as a successful financial consultant, trader, and real estate investor...a degree in physical sciences and almost 8 years as a retail manager at the highest grossing Vitamin Retail Store in NY....
Perhaps most important to mention, and the last thing I will say is the main management are advocates first and business men second...
For example, while no longer a daily user, the founder grew up with two Incredible parents, one of which had severe Chron's disease...9 surgeries and only a few feet of large intestine remaining, Cannabis was a miracle...Stopping the nausea, giving him at appetite, and reducing cramps and pain, Cannabis gets 100% of the credit for allowing his father to lead a productive and fulfilling life...And with a PhD in Physics, no one can ever convince me that Cannabis is harmful or ruins your life and he will fight for that for his entire life...
Other employees have similar experiences...
