Their solution? GROW MORE WEED NEXT YEAR!
NUGS isn’t planning to add just a little bit of capacity; the facilities represent a major expansion. For the L.A. facility, management foresees up to 1,200 grow lights, projected to produce two to three pounds of premium exotic cannabis flower per light per harvest across an estimated 5.75 harvests per year, suggesting an upside potential for total production capacity of more than 15,000 pounds of premium exotic cannabis flower per year.
With the addition of approximately 15,000 square feet and an estimated 500 grow lights, the Sacramento facility will have capacity for 7,000 pounds of premium cannabis flower annually; 22,000 pounds even at a further price depreciation to $1,500 for indoor flow equates to $33 million.
Grow all you want, morons. GOOD LUCK SELLING IT!
