The numbers

Every size, worked out.

Five sizes, one architecture. Pick a size to see what it takes per run, the tank it runs in, and the yield to expect from each kind of input.

Five sizes

Pick a size.

Sized by what you put in per run. Input per run is dry-cured trim or flower.

Yield by input — the same at every size

InputYieldNote
Cured trim~10–14%10% is the conservative floor
Machine trim~15–25%Machine-trimmed, all in
Whole flower~20–25%Dry-cured; 20% is the conservative floor
Fresh-frozenAbout half a dried runHighest grade; less per run because it is mostly water

Ranges run from the conservative floor to the demonstrated top — never the top quoted as a floor. Quality in, quality out: final yield depends on the input.

Operator efficiency

One operator. More than one machine.

Output that grows without the headcount growing with it.
