Life cycle in the greenhouse.
Life cycle in the greenhouse.
There was a question about staggering growing the plants a while ago. I found an article that states the growth cycle takes up to 18 weeks before packaging.

It's interesting that there is a short time after drying for testing and packaging but no mention of curing in the article. I guess transportation and sitting in a warehouse are supposed to take care of that.
The greenhouse is for the veg and flower stages then would be cleared out and a new plant would go in for the next cycle. Probably 11 weeks or so per growing cycle. To plant 780k sq. ft. they probably do sections to control light (weed is a photoperiod crop). That means 1/11th of 780k or about 65k sq. ft.per week in full production being planted, same being harvested, same being trimmed. Light control, nutrients, pruning etc. for 780k feet - one weeks growth which is getting cut on a regular basis.
I've seen the greenhouse on the investors footage but not the drying rooms, packaging, warehouse for packaging and where they hold stock ready for sale. Like the green house this would be big.
Those roofs that open are an invitation to letting water/ humidity in especially as they age. It will be interesting to see how that works out.
