You should build the rooms and consult from there.
Thats a really good idea. Then all your grows will be uniform and you know them from the start.

Also, getting a DBA and getting in with HLG, Nextlight, or some other light rep that sells good quality lighting. You can sign up to be a rep and get lights at a discount. The more you sell during the year, the cheaper they get. One of my trim clients is a Nextlight rep, he gets ~1500$ lights for 900$, leaves a lot of room for profit.

You could have said;

  • Have you checked the roots
  • What is the pH
  • How close are the lights
  • What strength of nutrients are you using
  • How often do you change the res
...and many more questions.

I left the question fairly open so you had a decent chance.

And I don't actually do hydro but I've done a lot of research on soil and hydro. I def don't know everything and I'm sure I'll be learning more every day that I grow. But I am willing to learn what I don't know.

You need to grow, often.

The reasoning behind this is you will learn alot more with each grow than you will from research.

I have an insane amount of book smarts and post secondary education and alot of it is directly related to Cannabis but none of it prepared me for growing actual plants.

I have found new issues with every grow, seen fantastic phenotypes and absolute trash phenotypes from the same batch of seeds.

This year alone I have had nub issues and advanced issue. I've expanded into pollen chucking and even tried hydroponics (and failed miserably).

I have a decade of growing and 7 years of advanced education and I feel that I know nothing when I come up to a new plant. You really are walking into mine field and I hope you don't blow your ass off.

Tough crowd some people just hate on people for no reason. Just trying something man. People don't have to shoot shit down just because.
No hate. Brutal honesty. I'm a 30 year veteran. I get the taste slapped out of my mouth and crawl away with my tail between legs all too often. Confidence and facts decimate arrogance every time. Peace ,love and success.

You need to learn how to interrogate/question your clients. They have the answers to their problems you just have to work it out of them.
^Like I said before^

That is the main skill you should develop. As Kalebaiden did, you need to have multiple questions related to the environment that you can start brainstorming with the client over. Your client or you will have an 'aha' moment when the gears turn into place. Then its up to you to offer them a solution once you find the cause, that's where your experience and knowledge comes in (the part you will get paid for).

You are a greenhorn, but you have determination, its going to take a lot of learning from your mistakes to get to the top. You are going to lose clients and every job isn't going to go well, roll with the punches and keep learning. Just as in RIU, it helps tons when the client with the problems gives as much info as possible about their grow environment, so work this info out of them. Immerse yourself in what you want to do, study grow rooms like crazy, watch grow room videos, haunt forums.

I think I will start a business to fix all the misinformation that will get caused by TS business.

We are being hard on you because there is already so much misinformation out there already.

No need to continue the trend.

Not looking to put out misinformation if I don't know something I will say that and research it until I know. I agree about misinfo related especially to growing cannabis.
