Stunning. I feel like I'm on a field trip in elementary school when I look at your pics. I'll never grow up!

Start it indoors now (well, a year ago would've been better), with 24/7 lighting. Bare root DWC, for the quickest growth. In the summer, put her out in her own greenhouse with a 1 or 2 hundred gallon res (or a hot tub, etc) buried down into the ground.. after you graft like 5-6 more lower halves of some large extra plants, so it has like 7 root balls feeding it the rest of the season. Keep it trained to be really wide instead of tall. Basically, use a 16' diameter steel trampoline frame as your scrog net frame..

I did do an RDWC run in my green house a few years back, with big totes and and a huge res + big mosnter cropped clones. It got so full I didn't even know there was a momma cat with a litter of kittens living under the pallet floors for a for awhile, because I couldn't even crawl inside to do anything... What a pain in the ass trying to string up heavy branches everywhere in a jungled up mess. The large pvc scrogs I had ended up being worthless.. and thats when I realized I should make one massive sized scrog next time..

You need a two level effect with a little path down the middle. NI.
Free kittens though!

I assume you're growing clones.
Growing from seed would be an unnecessary risk for an operation this large.

What do you guys have in place for ipm?
My biggest question is how do manage to sell several tons of crop each year. Like you got to be supplying all of Cali damn near by yourself

That's above my pay grade. One of our crew has an Ag degree from UC Davis, & that's his main function. However I start the process by providing pest free healthy clones. Had to start everything over from scratch last year due to possible HLVd viroid contamination. Threw everything out and sterilized the room and started completely over...

We supply mostly to wholesalers...they send buyers out to the farms
