Advice to start my big dream

Hello guys, recently a business opportunity came to all of us...me, like most of us, dream to have a small farm where you produce your super quality buds, right? I live in Spain, and I'm thinking of starting a start-up Weed Farm. First of all, I want to produce 60 big plants outdoors, each in an 80-gallon smart pot, but to be honest I don't have enough experience has a grower to start something like this!

Is anyone here who had done it before? Please help me out.

So my plan is to grow 60 big cannabis plants, but my company can't grow just any strain we would like, cause we want it for medical proposes. So we thought of growing only strains with 2% or less THC and high in CBD's, like Charlotte's Web. We would buy the expensive seeds, make 60 clones, make those clones big and transplant them to big 80-gallon smart pots outside. But then some issues came to my head, 60 pots with 80-gallon each it is a lot of soil for the plants. I'm starting a start-up and being the only investor I need to plan ahead all the materials and possible cost for everything. I have loads of questions, and the more I dive in this project, more questions come to me.

1- I want my ladies to grow in super soil with no nutrients, make it as cheap as possible with decent quality as well, how can i do it?

2- I can't find to much information about charlotte's web strain online. What type of issues this strain can make? don't forget we are talking about 80-gallon smart pot outside.

3- As a newbie in growing big outdoor plant, what issues can i expect?

4- As a newbie in running a cannabis business what issues can i expect?

Help me make my dream come true. Peace!

I would think 80 gallons are probably enough for your first time growing, I would strongly advise you to ditch the CBD idea and go with a regular strain. CBD strains can be really iffy

Guess I'll be the first to say to use that search bar lol... Most of this stuff will easily pop up, if not, through it in a google search with a tag after, like RIU, cannabis, etc.

All I gotta say is don't go over your head, don't try and pay for this with rent money or go counting your eggs before they hatch and finance a new car.

With the little amount of experience you have in growing outdoors and running a business, I'm sure you can expect every issue to arise this up coming year lol.. Good luck, hope it all works out!

Thx for the reply. I have to say that i already had that in mind, but here the situation is diferent from the US, we are not legal. I have to plan everything, make a good project, send the project to the regulatory entities and pray to be approved! The intension behind Charlotte's Web and the medicinal side is to get into regulatory entities heart's. But i not gonna discard that option CA MTN MAN, thx for the advice bro. Peace

I like your honesty. The exploration will only start next year so I will have plenty of time to plan and make everything right. I forgot to say that i have one brother who is helping me. It's not my intension to make a huge investment on this, but I'm gonna spend at least 10 000€ on this project on the first year. For 2 men 10000€ its not a huge investment, it is something we can afford to loose if something goes wrong. Thx bro peace.

I have no clue what strains are best for commercial but I've ran a CBD strain before and it was pointless they don't grow great in my experience

I have never heard or seen anyone get 4 lbs. per plant, that's not gonna happen. Good luck
It's possible check mendo dope full grow season on YouTube they do very well per plant
