I'm wondering if I can cut back to (1) 1000W HPS light for the last week or two of bud?
Absolutely, go to one light.
If you've got dimmable e-ballasts you can also crank 'em down to 600W (or 60%) painlessly.

Ok Mass. I need some opinions .
A place called heka health is opening in my town.
They will be cultivating for all the recreational places that they open once all the red tape is cleared up.
I bartend and through that I actually KNOW the guy that's going to be hard cultivator , but he's also a doctor .
I feel like this is what I'm passionate about and want to be a part of it all .
How would you approach the situation without sounding like an idiot .
Should I mail a resume in with pics?
Drop one off ?
If I can actually pull this off I think it may be what I was meant to do .
Let me know what you guys think it's not open yet but they are popping seeds I know for sure .

Running a tent or three, or a few HIDs, is NOT the same as running a +60kw flower room. Not even close. Obviously. The scaling is ridiculous, and the work load is phenomenal. It's not "fun" it's a very, very serious industrial farming business.
Let's look at a simple breakdown.
10 strains, minimum, in constant rotation.
At 4ppl (plants per light) a 60kw grow is always rotating about 240 plants in flower alone, and another 240+ in earlier stages. So, probably 600 plants at any given time, always.
Also responsible for; Individual cloning schedules, veg times, pre-flowers.
Environmental controls, inc. A/C, CO2, heat/(de)humidity.
Pest controls.
Nutrient regimens, varying by each individual strain & flower times. Automated feeding tables utilizing multiple reservoirs.

Keeping every.single.fucking.point. at peak efficiency or you'll literally lose $1000's per DAY.
You know what happens when amateur growers with bedroom grow experience try to run ops like this? They crash & burn. I saw one of these ops recently. A million bucks in investor money tied up, an amateur running shit, and piles of un-smokable, utter fucking garbage being produced. Because anyone can build a "million dollar grow room" but there are very few people that can run them right. Fuck doctors & dentists trying to cash in on the green rush shitflooding the market, I hope they all go broke & lose their Mercedes & Botox'd mistresses. .
If you really want to get involved with a big fuckin' grow, be smart: Avoid management positions. And greedy doctor assholes. Go work for someone who has run at this scale before, in CO or CA, and spend a year or three learning the ropes. Then if you're not burntthefuckout, industrial indoor farming just might be your thing. .
