Hello Everyone,
My family and I are from Wellington KS and will be growing smokeable hemp inside a 30'x108' greenhouse during 2020. We have family from Oregon who have been growing industrial hemp for a few years, but this is our first time growing. We are planning to grow year-round. We are using drip line to each pot with 2 fertilizer injectors and 1 injector for Ph. We are planning on having roughly 216 plants in 10-gallon smart pots. We've been trying to surround ourselves with knowledgeable people and are constantly reading up on how to grow/train. Below I've listed more information about our greenhouse/setup.

Any advice you guys could give would be greatly appreciated. Also, based on your experience would it be hard for us to reach a 1+ pound dry weight per plant?

30'x108' greenhouse
triple panel Polycarbonate side walls and roof
side wall height = 10'
2 LP heaters
6 20" HAF circulation fans
96' side wall vent on both side walls
Co2 generator
Gabel Fan/shutters
Light Deprivation curtain
30 double ended 1000Watt HPS lights (Supplemental lighting)
2 Quest 225 dehumidifiers (Drying in greenhouse due to lack of dry space)
VersiSTEP Wadsworth Control system

You must be friends with Rob who posted this morning

Good luck, that's a huge undertaking

Well most folks here grow to avoid buying from commerical ops like yours so most have no idea how to help with anything your size.

I'd suggest hiring a local Cannabis consultant if you need help.

Welcome! Will you have a backup generator?

 

[JBryan06]

Definitely something worth looking into. Good call!

While I have plenty of experience consuming that much pot, I have no idea how to scale it up to grow that much.

But, with the right genetics, I would assume it wouldn't be much different than your hemp op, give or take.

I'm with @TurboBucket . Local consultant is probably the best money you'll spend. People on the internet will say the craziest things!

@JBryan06 , where do you buy your hemp seeds if you don't mind me asking? I am looking to go the opposite direction as you. Been growing since 2013, and would like to do 10 - 12 hemp plants outside.

We got our seeds from Sunnly Land KS.

Oh man I just stumbled on this JBryan06 hows the progress that frame looks awesome, I used to work for a commercial awning company I wish I could weld like that! I'd love to have a commercial grow here in MI so I could sell great weed instead of the stereotype commercial stuff. My county doesn't allow it though and I don't got the scratch! Maybe someday... CHeers mate, gl!

Hey! Yes the build is finish and looking great. We jumped into this with both feet for sure. Here’s some updated photos.
