Frequently asked questions

2 flowering plants would harvest approximately 10 ounces every two-and-a-half to three months.

Or 1 plant can harvest about 5 ounces every month and a half regularly if the rotation works correctly, by moving one flowering plant at a time.

A setup with 6 plants, 2 plants flowering all the time in two 10 gallon containers with super-soil under our LEDS should produce approximately 2 grams per true watt and should theoretically be approximately 5 ounces dry weight per plant given super-cropping techniques and proper training methods, but is very strain dependent and depending on the rotation it can vary.

These are personal use systems designed for one consumer under the regulations of mass law. For a 2 or more adult households, a larger set up is available, for 12 plants which doubles the previous amount and half’s the time once more between crops. Custom set ups and whole rooms can be designed by Jay for optimum quality and production.

(about $90-140 a month)

Our superior design boasts weatherproof, surge-protected inputs for up to 2,400 joules of energy, the LEDs we hand pick are high-powered and run cool with minimal power draw for a prototype of its stature. Thus, we rely less on heat control and concentrate our energy into more reliable environmental controls to keep the plants at their happiest.

For exact currency readings, to put it in perspective, running a 1500 watt indoor space heater or window AC unit consistently costs about 90$ a month in electric bills, the rotating system is approximately 20kilo-watt system running at its peak it is going to be approximately 140$ a month to operate in electric costs. At first, this seems like a lot more than an AC unit or a space heater(Central air is 3500watts!), but the products we chose to grow with are much more eco-friendly operating on timers and controllers that auto switch them on-and-off depending on environmental factors.

To put it deeper into perspective on a consumer level, 140$ is a little less than how much a half of an ounce is worth after taxes in the Massachusetts cannabis market. That means after the first three months and the first crop is finished, you will have spent about 420 dollars in electric and have yourself 10 ounces of dried professionally home-grown cannabis flower. The average cannabis dispensary in mass is estimated at paying 1533.33 for a half pound of 'medium' quality cannabis. You can produce yourself something greater than medium for less than half of the price, right at home. (Source:budzu)

Jay has over 5 years of Fine Gardening expertise for one of Cambridge’s highest rated garden services, and over a decade of cannabis growing and breeding knowledge developed during prohibition in the middle of one of Americas busiest cities while pursuing a solid career in botany.   

some mock gardeners offer similar services, but there is usually an outcome with a certain lack of clearness of how you get there and should be treated with skepticism. 

Greater Design Growers offers a trusted agreement signed by both parties, that protect us legally.  

This system can generate at LEAST 8 ounces of high-quality cannabis every two months and means 22.5 grams per week of connoisseur’s cannabis, starting at 250 a week and after your 10th week, goes drastically down to 92 dollars a week for 22.5 grams of cannabis. 14 grams of high-quality cannabis is about 200 dollars in store while 28 grams can go for about 350 at a great deal (after taxes). All our prices are within the competitor range with superior components.

Besides obviously having a space that fits the growing system requirements and being present at some point for the initial install, You will need to check on them periodically about once every four days (think of it as a low maintenance pet!) and look after their overall well-being if possible, and water them if they are thirsty. The frequency of watering isn't as crucial as some believe but depends on the size of the cannabis plant and container, and other factors like humidity. there will be a schedule for watering to follow that is easy with no worries of mixing complicated solutions if your using jays’ signature living organic super soil. if you’re on a maintenance plan there won’t be very much expected of you on your part except to have someone present to allow Jay the scheduled maintenance time with the plants your growing. You must sign an agreement that protects grower’s anonymity and recognizing having read and understood Mass laws rule and regulations regarding growing your own cannabis. 

The plants are semi-sealed in a highly stable quality-air environment but are susceptible to a few issues that most home growers face. If you do notice any problems with the plants, it’s encouraged to call our emergency help line and we will connect you to GDG assistance in walking through and supporting you with any problems that may arise. Every set up includes 2 free hours of on-call emergency help, as well as every crop cycle maintenance plan.

Everyone wants designer flowers when it comes to cannabis.

All strains are not the same, but GDG respect’s people’s individual taste and look to link growers with amazing local Grower Developed Genetics. We also acknowledge that people want to grow what they want and sometimes get mislabeled seeds or clones. For this reason, we cannot guarantee our quality protection on strains outside our personal catalog/grow method. If you join our annual GDG collective community membership, you may crop split and trade buds with another Greater Design Grower. If you decide to crop split, Jay must personally inspect quality and contain the produce in 7-gram increments, including a 2-gram specimen for sampling aroma, that will be returned to you upon completion. The trade may not be immediate as it’s a mutual decision and must be agreed upon by both parties anonymously before being completed by Jay, whom will let you inspect the reciprocating specimen up for trade before completion. All held cannabis for trade will be kept in a cool air-sealed area to preserve quality and be returned upon request at the next scheduled visit. For any worries or even simply questionable effects from the flower, Jay can set up a test with a local laboratory to check for overall quality and contaminants.

Nope.

If you decide to grow a classic gassy and pungent strain of cannabis, there are system operations that help minimize the smell, no inline fans mean there isn't a carbon filter scrubbing the air, but with less heat, we use other methods of odor control such as negative ions which slightly increase yields, adding to a duo functionality with the added benefits of cleaner air and steadily-quiet run times. More Specific odor control can be implemented for specialized strains recognized for their undeniably identifying odors such as Chemdog, GG, Roadkill Skunk, Sour Diesel and some OGs.
