While most businesses in any industry try to keep startup costs as low as possible, that isn’t necessarily the best way to proceed when opening a grow. Creating a cost-efficient cultivation site often involves investing in technology and processes that may result in a big near-term hit. Optimally, our goal is to be able to produce quality cannabis for $1 a gram.
