OP, I hate to tell you this, but the gold rush is over. With your background, you can make tons more money selling soil mixes to 18 year old kids growing for the first time. Keep a few plants as a hobby, but get into pots, soil and ferts in a big way. The guys selling picks and pans were who came away from the gold fields with their pockets full.
 
There's no way you'll get 150lbs from a 30'x60' greenhouse. For a 1lb plant you're going to realistically need at least 8'x8'. 8 x 8 x 150 = 9600 sq ft
IF you an amazing grower and can maximize plant yield per sq ft you can cut it down to 4' x 4' x 150 = 2,400 sq ft. Which is still larger the size of your proposed greenhouse.

In my opinion, and of course it just my opinion.
You're better of growing in huge grow bags/pots.
If you truly are expecting 100+ pounds. Better to grade it.
Use the trim, kiff and shake, to make the hash.
Grade your buds. Sell cheap ounces / pounds of tips and popcorn. Then mid grade, all the way up to your prized colas.
If you're selling pounds of primo, outdoor. It should fetch a decent price.
Believe it or not, you'll probably make better money, by selling your product, in grades of quality.
Just my 2 cents
I want take less than 200oz for high quality refs but my promo is 400 oz and that's outdoors

I have gotten a pound and a half off a square yard.3x3 or 3ft squared. Off a saliva from bag seed.On August 1st it was 18 inches tall with no side limbs and 3 tops and when I harvested it 2 people could hide behind it. It was tied down and still 6 and 1/2 feel tall,9 for wide one way and 7 wide other way.I also got 1 and 3/4 oz off 2 clones from it and they were only 4 weeks flowering because cold killed them which made them purple and harsh but all it was very potent,I usually take 50-100 clones off a single plant early as they outgrow the mother plant.

Ever heard of an air draft clone?Cloning plant in mid air without cutting it until it has a strong root system.

Yes. If it were me I would go with less plants and bigger than 15 gallon pots. I'm not opposed to growing in the ground either. I just have not seen previously farmed soil that needs no amending at all. It's not surprising NPK and micronutrients are present in sufficient amounts but I would expect to be able to improve drainage. I'm actually doing half in the ground and half in smart pots this year because I'm in a fertile river valley and expect to be able to improve the soil enough with compost, rice hulls and peat. I'm in slightly alkaline soil so dragging down PH is not a concern.

I'm not familiar with what kind of season MN has other than likely shorter than most of the U.S.. Here in CO, if given the chance to do that space I would go with 18 plants per house. To meet the OP expectation you would need about 4 lbs per plant. That's not to say it can't be done a dozen other ways.
But I don't think realistically you will get 4 lbs each plant without cloning it

Mini, this thread may be worth a perusal.
https://www.rollitup.org/t/doublejjs-2018-experience.962508/
he should be able to answer a few of your questions. Also if you can search for his other threads and grows- he grows large and big. Heres an earlier one for ya https://www.rollitup.org/t/doublejjs-next-big-adventure-lone-oak-farms-2016.892910/ and a pic stolen from that thread.

OP doublejj is hands down the best person on here to answer your questions. You would be hard pressed to find anyone with as much experience as him doing what you are asking about.
Cheers :)

want your thread to pop? title a huge number with a lbs at the end and watch all the people flood to tell you that it wont happen
Sir I don't see 4 lbs per plant happening. Im not saying impossible but I haven't ever saw or heardof a single plant producing that much. I wan

You should really look around the web a little more if you truly believe 4 lbs per plant is not possible.

Check out MendoDopeBoys........ they have a tutorial on how they grow trees.

No need for lime. PH levels are are about perfect. The ground will be worked with a moldboard plow. Like I said, it’s as black of dirt as you will fine. Growing in a pot is counter productive. 3-18-18-1 in furrow then foliar feeding the same analysis with a micro package. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better crop nutrition program.
Nitrogen deficiency here we come!!!
