You must not sell much I thing you meant to say hobby grow in the title not commercial
Maximising yield in a commercial grow
- Thread starter SamWE19
- Start date
I have been selling 120-150 oz every 8 weeks easily enough so far

Commercial is more like at least 50 pounds a deal.
Well it pays the bills for now lol. I will eventually have to expand when big companies start churning out tonnes of bud.

In your position I would focus on quality and rare genetics and the like, not yields. Competing against commercial grows, your niche is to provide superior quality at a smaller scale. Changing your focus to yields in order to compete with the big boys is going to hurt in the long run as your prices will fall dramatically.

Im sorry but for 8yrs of growing & with a high plant # the questions you're asking & contemplating are very amateur hour. Sorry dude. No offense
But you can kill it just starting fresh. The more i learned the harder it got. Lol! Great threads here doing that type if growing. Check out The Kix Way @Kix for one.
Individual support is caging for dirt cheap.
Not for your intented goals of many plants in a 1x1 though. I'd recommend 3.5" Trellis netting. X2 rows.
5x30' is like $20 , i dont pay attention but buy it every grow.
Ferring strip on wall, screw every 6" . Hang net. Although i wish i made mine adjustable up n down rather then fixed.
Commercial growers don't sell oz they sell lbs soon it will probably be by the ton

Definitely a small business, profession.

They produce higher yields because they are mature plants and are easier to grow because u have grown them time and time again.
Oh, I like that!!! Gonna set up a place just for photos to do it!!!
Could use your help on my new pheno Hunt post that I’ll start in a week or two. Will need the advice to find the quality phenos

You cut clones off each plant. Then flower the plants. Keep the clones (now plants) that correspond to the winners of the flowering run.

I'm all over this!!!
Would you not flower the rooted clones to see how they react as a clone not a seed, take clones of all the clones and compare the flowered seed to the flowered clones and pick the winner from the 2nd generation of clones?

You can do that too, I like to cull obvious losers the first run and keep anything that has potential, then sort the true winner over the next few runs running batches of clones from each. You may find that two plants that have the same quality and yield will vary on something else like rooting time.
