Not only is the equipment you use in your cannabis grow facility vital to the productivity of your plants, but so are the systems in place and people you have working at your facility:
Hire experienced workers
Having an experienced and skilled staff that understands the smallest details about grow systems will result in a higher quality and more productive operation. Cultivators should understand the design and build out of cultivation facilities as well as how to maintain a proper environment optimized for growing. Implementing clean protocols and workflow management is also crucial.
Develop a list of solid procedures
The larger the operation becomes the more important processes and procedures become in the facility. Keeping track of variables such as dates, times, sales and consumer preferences will help keep your business moving. Make sure you have these processes and procedure documented and relayed to all of your employees to maximize productivity in your operation. The key is to reduce all unnecessary inefficiencies happening in the workplace due to a lack of understanding by employees.
Though prices of cannabis are dropping, it remains a growing industry that’s here to stay. By maximizing the space in your facility, using more efficient equipment and ensuring you have an educated staff, your business can stay on top of fluctuating trends.
