Earlier this week I was on a call about craft licenses.
“You’re a grower, you tell me:
How much weed can you get in a year from 5,000 sq ft of canopy?”
—
Ignoring the rest of a particularly juicy conversation on the bureaucracy and shadiness of the craft licensing processes for now, what is a reasonable expectation?
Ballparking it on the call, I broke it down like this:
Assuming you’re the absolute best grower to ever grace the face of the commercial cannabis industry and you can hit every cycle perfectly, you’re looking at ~100g/sq ft.
Or 500,000 grams per turn.
—
Say you’re running from clones, super dialed in, and you’ve got a 2 week veg, 9 week bloom, and you can turnover a room in a weekish.
That’s 3 months per cycle.
That’s 4 cycles per year.
**Yes, I know the space could be split and you could chop 1000 sq ft every month and be in constant rotation, but we’re keeping it simple here for ease.**
—
3 months = 4 cycles/year = 2,000,000 grams per year.
Or ~4,465 pounds.
