I'm going to be shopping for a bare minimum of 7000 sqft. Probably 3500 - 4000 sqft in total canopy. This assumes facility is only for production. I would ideally be looking at a 7500+ sqft location that I can subdivide to my liking for grow rooms, mechanical, showers, manicure and drying...
In Colorado mature would be anything thats not a clone... your thinking makes too much sense from a growers POV so I wouldn't expect them to come to this conclusion, in fact I bet the final decision will be quite contrary. Probably trying to abide by federal 99 count limitations.
Dehydrating only evaporates the lighter terpenes.
Trust me, do a run w/o the fast dry and your flavor will be greatly improved.
Note: garbage in, garbage out. If it doesn't smell good to start with the material won't make tasty extracts.
SOG grows are best suited to operations regulated by canopy square footage limitations. With your count limits one should be growing trees. A hundred plants in a noveg sog would be something like 3 lbs when harvested (plus or minus).
Wholesale up here is around $2000/lb between licensed...
The glass does block some light transmission. Thus the high performance of DE lamps. Does the glass block all spectrum equally? Probably not. In a sealed AC room with bare vertical bulbs or hoods sans lens you will have more lumens thus more growth potential.
I really wish I had something positive to tell you. I've worked with one good arm, that's pretty tough. The inability to see is something I couldn't imagine working around as the use of sight is so very critical for the performance of many daily tasks. Simply inspecting for general health...
Perhaps the OP would consider a QWISO technique prior to trying BHO. Smaller investment in equipment and a little safer for sure provided the evaporation process isn't performed on a gas stove. Lol
The claw is often caused by too much nitrogen or overwatering. If the vegetation is very dark green I would lean towards too much nitrogen.
Back off fertilizers, your flush will have likely helped to decrease nitrogen levels.
