Need a grow manager for a 30 light perpetual spot, NorCal - Page 5 - Cannabis Jobs - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

That's maybe $ 20-24 an hour not bad but not great for six days a week

sweet pictures, looks fun

400 lights should make you about 15 million plus per year. what do ya do with all that money? besides pay the power bill and the trimmers

just seems kinda excessive i guess. but then weeds big business now so 400 lights wont seem like much soon

I just helped for a bit about a year in after start up.... the guy was trying to create a company to take public and in the end was a total dirt bag in so many ways the excitement wore off quick....I learned a lot...

prices here where way lower at the time, but yeah they will do good if he can keep staff...

just saying seems a bit much to limit one guy to 30 lights... if he is good, he should be able to organize and fully care take quite a few more imo and would probably need more time for other ventures or personal grows.

Jesus, you suckers really went nuts on this thread.

We usually have two people working at a time, watering alone takes about 2 hours a night because everything is hand watered. Three separate flowering Gardens, (Perpetual) a veg room, two big cloning machines, two big tents of moms, it takes time.

Foliar sprays, defoliation, transplanting, cloning, staking / taping, transplanting, dumping pots, washing smartpots, chopping plants down, scheduling 6 trimmers, managing the part time guys, takes time.Keeping track of foliar sprays, nutes, inventories, clones, 6 crops and making sure the place stays safe and tidy takes time and effort, I'm baffled by the people that think it all would take just a few hours a week.

Perpetual gardening means every 3 weeks everything rotates, except moms. 160 plants x 6 crops need love every day of the year. We have to do quick turnarounds, so we chop it, dump pots, refill it and refill veg in 48 hours. Then dry it, trim it, package the trim, dispose of green waste, and repeat.

He gets 30 an hour, PTO, flexible hours, and a gated bonus structure based on yield. Usually works out to around $1500 a month in bonuses, sometimes more.

Sheesh.

You're still underpaying the guy considering the kind of revenue generated from the work he is doing.

How exactly does your 'yield bonus' work?

Lazyman, props for offering this job to one of the icmag fam.

I'd be all over it, but kind of tied to this part of AZ
