Like the title says I begin my career in the legal marijuana industry Tuesday. I am working with kuda cannabis farms at the moment. I have a big interview however coming up in December with Humboldt county's own as apprentice to master grower.
Thanks man. This farm is just a stepping stone and getting my foot into the legal cannabis industry. I'll be honest guys I get more beneficial grow advice off of here than out here. Well except for Humboldt county's own they have taught me much.
I wish you all the luck in the world!!! Just a heads up... It's a brutal industry. Make sure you are paid your worth. I've seen head growers make as little as $35,000 a year and as high as $90,000 a year. Make sure you hit your numbers as far as weight, plant counts, clone counts, etc go. One bad grow can mean your livelihood. Owners, for whatever reason, don't seem to want to listen to their growers, especially if it involves spending money. Be leary of anyone looking for a "master grower". It's a made up phrase that only applies to the cannabis industry. What it really means is you are going to be over worked because the owner doesn't want to hire enough educated staff. A true master grower, in my opinion, consists of an entomologist, agronomist, botanist, breeder, horticulturalist, all with 10 years experience or more. Getting away from the grow, taking a vacation, a death in the family, are all difficult things to deal with. No matter what, the plants/clones need attention regardless of the day of the week or what you have going on in your personal life. Last tidbit of advice...bring your "A" game brother. Plain and simple. It's not only a brutal industry, it can be cutthroat too. There is always someone who can "do it better", or so they say.. Today's Forcast... Partly Cloudy With A Chance Of Amber.
Thanks man. Main reason joining legal industry is having everything in paperwork. I couldn't be more fucked over than the sawmill. Only $18 hourly there for 3 years. Lost tip of my finger and torch burn on right hand. Company was bought out by gap and all they see is numbers. Humboldt county's own is a reputable company in this community. I mentioned the apprentice to master grower job to them but yea believe you are right it is more evolved around degrees now in soil science and botany. HCO is the company I am very excited to work for.
One more thing... Dont let the job kill your passion for the plant. I know it sounds crazy but I have witnessed a few people fall out of love with growing. Today's Forcast... Partly Cloudy With A Chance Of Amber.
My ADHD wont allow it lol. Sucks though because if I am not interested goes in one ear and out the other. Also I always like to be that get it done guy that works in multiple departments. This way things are always changing and happy.
Congrats on your opportunity! I’ve always had this question and I think you’re the man to answer it . Everyone says temps need to be 70-75*F and pretty low RH. My grow room was 85-90*F and around 60RH. As a result, my flowers fox tailed and were fluffy. I also had bud rot issues. I can’t fathom that a greenhouse stays 70-75*F with low humidity. How do professional growers have success in warm and humid environments like a greenhouse? Thanks in advance.
Those Plagiarizing Dummies Chapter 15: Finding Work in the Cannabis Industry.... just got updated myself tho this is a noobies book Lowenfel's: DIY Autoflowering Cannabis ..is more for us? good luck Sade (click the link/ then HERE )
I am still no expert at all dude haha. I am learning from very knowledgeable people who have been doing it for many years. Growing on a large scale is a lot of work. Anyways to help answer your question. You could hang a towel in bucket of water of water. Also the more plants or the bigger they get will cause more transpiration. If it is more humid outside then set up an intake fan. Humidity isn't usually too much of a problem out here luckily. Last 2 months were really bad.
It's ok for now just jumping from farm to farm. Like someone who was in the exact company I'm in now" keep up the hard work man. Not that hard to shine above others with proper work ethic. Current cannabis farm bought his co tract and it's all year round light deposition
