Well aware of the arduous labor. My friend *rented* out his basement to another friend for his hydro operation. They had 80 plants per grow and himself and 3 others longest trim session was 36 hours. It was quite the set up. They divided his basement into 3 rooms clone, veg, and flower. My friend works construction/HVAC so he did all the lights, fans, and vents.
For furnishing the space for the grow he was paid 1lb or cash value of 1lb. He generally took 1/2 and 1/2. Cash for the water/electric bill and the rest to sell and smoke. I was a successful operation for a little over a year until my friends landlord decided to sell the house and gave him 48 hours notice of a real estate agent coming to view the property!!
. Nearly 80% was ruined during the midnight guerrilla operation move.
