Hello all,
I didn't know which thread to post this in, but I have been thinking a lot about trying to stick my leg into the legal cannabis industry in the US which is really starting to boom. But I'm trying to think outside the box a little bit bc everybody is jumping on growing the stuff, why not hit another area of the market? I have a Chemistry degree and have done a fair amount of work with formulating fertilizers (in ag industry). Given the right ingredients I could easily formulate my own fertilizers that are meant specifically for growing legal, hydroponic cannabis just based off of the ingredients list of other nutrient lines and what concentrations are used at different times for growing cannabis. I've also been around and seen bulk fertilizer manufacturing processes quite a bit, so this would be very doable. My hope would be that my line would stand out to new growers as being a very simple, clearly instructed process for people that want to start out growing cannabis (and give good quality as well). Trying to figure out how to work your nutrients when you first start growing can get very complicated especially with instructions that are meant for growing tomatoes, etc, and not necessarily cannabis. And I guess the goal would be to really simplify the whole nute making process for people that are just starting and have clear instructions on exactly how much of each fert per gallon to put in to your nute water and at what time during growth. Making that very clear and laid out for people could prove to be very convenient and new growers would save a lot of time trying to get nutes right when they first start. And knowing exactly what to put in for specifically cannabis and giving that to customers in as simple a manner as possible could prove worthwhile I feel.
I'm asking for feedback on the plausibility of the success of this idea. Would you buy it? Would you have bought a nute line like this when you first started out growing for ease of simplicity? And Id also be very curious to hear about any competition from other companies that have already attempted at my idea, or have made cannabis specific fertilizer lines. Just tying to get a gauge of competition in the industry. I'm well aware of fox farms, general hydroponics, etc that are very popular but with it being legalized and all wouldn't it make sense to go a little but more specific towards cannabis for your nutrients rather than working generalized nutrients to work for it? Any suggestions or feedback on the idea or notes about the current market are greatly appreciated.
