I can help with organic soil based growing and room set-up. I've set up.... let's just say plenty of spaces. My setups are currently yielding 2.9 lb/1000W or about .75 lb/plant. If I was to optimize production per plant I could probably double that (edit: yield per plant, NOT per light ). I feel there is still room for improvement too. Top quality is possible, but depends on the grower to a large extent. How "in-tune" you are, or how well you can communicate with the plant combined with your motivation/intent for growing them determines quality, as long as the system is adequate to meet the plant's needs. Motivation is not a factor that directly affects the plant, but it influences your decisions on how you treat them on a day-to-day basis, which in turn directly affects the plants quality.

I've definitely thought about doing a class, but I know a guy who didn't even cover costs for putting on a class, even with support of a local mag and such. There would be no way most people would pre-register, so attendance is a complete guess until people start showing up. I've tried advertising a little bit but even though all I do is legal and lawyer-approved people still don't trust others they don't know, so it is largely ineffective. I completely understand that, but as a few happy customers tell others, biz starts to grow slowly and sporadically. I thought it would grow fast because most of the product at dispensaries is crap. Even in decent dispensaries, they usually only have a few strains that stand out as good. There's got to be a ton of people out there that have invested 1000's in equipment that are growing grade B buds... some of them will never grow good bud, but others can be helped.
