so, back to the original post...of course no one is going to grow 100k plants a week, but what do you think is the practical upper limit for a small crew? maybe ten people, 1 master grower, 2 mid level guys to keep an eye on day to day operations, 6 or 8 laborers, hauling water, hoeing rows, doing the day to day shit that needs to be done?
lets say they're inside, in a decent facility, running a perpetual, starting 1/4 of their crop every other week....and the only limitation is the number of people you have......i think i'd stick to around 800-1000 plants total. once you consider all the stages, from seedling to harvest, then add in manicuring and drying...that's a good bit of work for 10 people.
