I agree. Its tough to teach people. Really you have to figure out the best way to teach individual since we are all different. Also the person has to want to learn. It can be difficult at times. I don't hire anyone because every one is a wussy. Or maybe I'm not good at training some types of people.

I'm a hardcore son of a b****

it is working . he is learning fast . i can always improve myself too. the teacher has to always learn

You'll be way ahead of some other folks who are getting a late start. Better to learn on a small scale before making a big investment. Also the infrastructure investment takes time and money, so best to do in bite sizes.

Thats sweet you have a good helper. Just have to work as a team.

Did you say you are getting into Ornamental houseplant production? Thats cool There are a lot of really cool houseplants.

Which ones are you looking at propagating and selling? Will you do seed propagation based production, clones, or bare root seedlings?

Thats sweet! Going to be a killer haze project. Pioneering, breaking barriers, in the attic. }With hazes, you have plenty of time to pollinate. I guess its still only about 35-45 days to mature seed after pollination as usual.

house plants and hobby plants . seeds clones , plants of all sizes for the house or hobby . monstera , passion flowers etc . get stock and a production line of what we enjoy growing . some for seed , some for cloning. sterile lab rooms with underfloor heating and sky lights , back up leds , and have greenhouse pollytunnel , grounds for other stock . start small and expand as we expand

Everybody can mow grass, doing a production nursery takes experience and talent. Going to be sweet. What do you need sterile lab rooms for? I guess thats for clonal propagation?

Are heat mats going to be used because they are cost effective?

Man I got rained on twice today. Got poured on as I was cleaning out the trailer burning brush, then i ran out of gas. Thankfully I had brought my 2.5 gallon gas can in case, and I had to stand outside in the light rain to fill the tank and get myself to the gas station.

Get used to it, spring time. Don't look at the radar too much just get to work. Need to get rained on every once in a while, God says. Helps keep you on schedule.

master plants clones and seeds zones. wipeable zones. easy to isolate plants . we will buy cheap plastic greenhouses for each variety to keep isolated with the rooms. we have some cool ideas

Are you going to need a water truck to get the water to everything or are you able to irrigate with your setup?

Could install an irrigation system with risers and hose attachment points for hand watering.

As it gets bigger you will have to do automated irrigation and hire folks to help hand water.

we will be using autopot systems and hand watering. the young house plants will be grown in coco and perlite and mineral feeds . stock plants indoor will go in lachuza pon . as pest free as possible. we wont be smoking these plants

 

[pipeline]

Cool! Auto pots? Why not just do spaghetti hoses with emitters?

Hand watering will still be required with autopot containers, I guess. The autopot system just helps to keep them from getting too dry underneath but the top can dry out.

Would be better for house plants than fruit or medicine plants.

Prepping the mower. Here we go again.
