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.
for myself in my situation I would offer free labor to someone who would let me work besides them in thier daily tending of the plants...I am retired and very bored and would love to be able to learn the right way to grow my own...I am not interested in growing for commercial gain at this point in time and would just love to be able to take care of myself properly with some quality strains.
respectfully...
