OK... this 1.2 million lbs., a year BS is what the bashers on IHUB kept using over and over and over and over and over again and it made me CRAZY!!!!!!!!
NEVER ANYWHERE did Bill EVER, EVER, EVER say we would produce 1.3 million lbs. THE FIRST YEAR!!!!
What he said was, the production goal that he hoped to meet "FIVE YEARS OUT," was 1.3 million lbs., BUT, he thought that goal more than likely could be achieved, or he hoped to achieve it, in two years time or MAYBE even less.
With a 30-45 day grow-to-market cycle, in a facility as large as the one we are building, with the technology we are using, 1.3 million lbs. a year, to me is simply a no-brainer....
Think about it folks... @ 4 lbs., a plant, you'd only need 25,000 plants to hit that target. 4 X 25,000 lbs., = 100,000 lbs., X 30 day grow cycle = X 12 months = 1.2 million lbs.... We have 10 acres to use folks... Current construction only covers 1/2 the property, with Bldg. Alpha @ 26,400 sqft and Bldg. Beta @ 53,000 sqft., which I think can easily handle 25,000 plants, especially since it will be multi-storied, doubling or tripling the available grow space.... Crap, we may get 50-75,000 plants just in Beta!!!
The rest is still vacant and yet to be built out with Bldg. Delta planned for 100,000 sqft!!!!! AND MULTI-STORIED ALSO!!! (as far as I know,) We could easily get 150,000 plants or more from Delta!!! ... 150,000 X 4 = 600,000 lbs., X 12 = 7.2 million lbs., a year FROM DELTA ALONE!!!!
Uhhhhhhhhhh, I think we will grow MUCH MORE than 1.2 in the end!!! Bill knew EXACTLY what he was saying, when he said the largest in the world.
