I don't think they have the tier system fully purchased, yet.
If they have to raise the existing greenhouse to fit in the two-tier system, then maybe that's not a good use of funds considering they just planted almost 2000 plants in Bay 1.
Also, there are extra costs and risks with the two-tiers:
* Bottom tier LED lights. Looks like they would need hundreds of new LED lights
* Electrical risk of upper level feed system leakage down on the lower-level LED lights
If the yields on 3-4-5 are increasing and Bay 1 gets us substantially more yield then Bay 5, then maybe in the long run its better to put all the plants on the ground. I don't think they can put a middle tier up the middle with their current grow setup (tarps covering bays for flower time). The tarp system has a central beam that goes down the middle of the bay. So would not be able to put a tier down the middle. With no tier, there is a lot of wasted space down the middle.
Time it takes for planting, caring and harvesting for two-tiers will be higher than if each tier were on the floor.
