We had maybe 50 plants at a time at Skunk Pharm Research with about half in the flower room. A tremendous amount of work, even without end product trimming. We avoided that trimming by extracting the leaves and buds together.
I've made two attempts to grow at home since we shut down our SPR gardens, using NL seeds from Uni for the first. That first year our cat Melissa kept eating the seedlings, so I had to finish the two surviving plants at a friends home, one of which turned out to be male.
This year I only grew two Train Wrecks, but started from clones to avoid males and grew them in the cage I built to grow cat free herbs, until they were large enough to take care of themselves.
I grew them in 5 gallon buckets instead of our usual 25 gallon smart pots to keep their height below the rear courtyard wall, which has worked out, but we are getting close to the rainy season and their trichomes are still mostly clear.
Fortunately the 5-gallon buckets kept them compact enough that I should be able to cover them with plastic during the early rains, which may avoid botrytis but still leave me vulnerable to Powdery Mildew if the rains last very long. In our indoor gardens we used fans and dehumidifiers to avoid PM, but that is impractical where they are outside.
