Well, wondering what you think about the idea of vegging and flowering in the same room and therefore having many divided up rooms vs having a large vegging room and a few flowering room. BTW this will be a hydroponic top feed operation.

Salary of a master grower really depends on how much of a "master" they are. Do they have proven success and knowledge? Have they won awards? Do they have a degree as well as experience? Their is a lot of differences from grower to grower. I would think that they spread can be anywhere between approx. 40k-100k per year

my take on drip feed systems is that they are a pita. Due to drippers getting clogged up and stuff.

do you have plant count restrictions for your op?

Well expect they will end up being lazy unless you add in some profit sharing incentives.

exactly what I was thinking!

on casters for ease of maintenance. It's what I do anyway and works for me. Nice too since I don't have to bend over except to unhook the drains

Run tables? Do you mean ebb and flow or nft?

Myself, I would rock that with ebb & flow tables. No veg. Rooted clones go into flower tables directly.

Nice veg room with mothers and clones. Setup to harvest two or three tables each day.

Cuttings dept is one person striking 300 cuts. Should take 4-5 hours a day.

Me neither but if you have money you lack incentive.

Really I could run that veg/clone dept with three employees and that's with ability to loose one.

I could run the trimming dept with three people and a trimpro.

I could run 300 flowering tables with a crew of 5 or 6.

I would have a harvest / cleanup / reload crew of three.
