50000 square feet. Colorado Legal rec grow

So dope. How do you get into that kind of thing? There is a warehouse behind my work that grows and i've always wondered how they get away with it. My state is only medical. Rhode Island.

Step one is being in a legal state. Step two is hard work at any wage in the industry and move up!

But like the legal hurdles. I feel like those who have warehouse grows that sell to dispensaries either have politicians or police friends in the state.

Rhode Island is land of corruption. FYI in case that news hasn't made it out west.

I know the dispensary in Providence was funded by an ex state trooper lieutenant. Not sure where he got $1.2 million from...

We are lucky here. There wasn't such a rush in the beginning of medical because no one knew if the feds were coming for us. Kept a lot of big money out of the game. Mom and pop shops started it here, not like the new states where big money can rush in cause they know that the feds ain't coming for them.

So come on then Merlin it's time for some feedback on some of your numbers ,oz per plant,average quality(yes you have showed some lovely bud shots.....but.....I'm more interested in all in quality)eg,with your lights being VERY high it must effect the bud lower down(below the top 24inches)and finally.I can't seem to in any way justify these ballasts you r using the cost is just to MUCH(£600)the 315s do save on power)... but ....apart from that surely a 600 digi, personality I've been using the I Sun pro ballasts with built in timers(no need for autopilots or such things) for 4 years now with £25 sunmaster duel spec bulb(good for at LEAST a year) with a half decent adjustwing reflector for £160 all in would have been ALOT more cost effective......again please don't think I'm disrespecting you i just can't get my head around WHY someone would go to so much expence in such a big way(grow) when the same if not better could have been had for HALF the expense......

Merlin quoted: That was a straight 1000. I'll have some better concrete yield numbers soon. Looks like we're pulling a pound a 315 now with room for improvement as we get this beast of a warehouse dialed in.

Whats the word on the med cards in Colorado? I heard they are going to stop giving them out.

Light distance doesn't affect quality of the lower buds, they're just as dense as the tops, granted, they are smaller. And those buds are 8+ feet from the lights...

One HUGE cost factor you're missing is bulb replacement. You'll change 600s 3 times before I change mine once.

And we're getting close to a pound a light, with a lot of room to improve. I'm looking for 2 grams a watt...

Subbed for sure, can't wait to be back out in CO on the 30th. Was there in 2014 and I had an amazing time. Most beautiful place I have ever been, and not just because of the weed.

One of the most beautiful places on earth, massive ecological diversity across the state. Last week on a drive to our dispensary in Crested Butte I started at 85 degrees in Pueblo and drove through two snowstorms and drove through gorgeous sunlight canyons on the way.
