JOHN BUTCHER – FLORAPRO GROWER
Q&A ABOUT THE GROW
How did you start growing?
My friend got me into growing and I fell in love with the plant. Started growing in a closet, then moved to a garage, a warehouse and kept moving up to where I am now.
What made you choose FloraPro?
Aside from the great performance and low cost, the way you can teach people how to use and about FloraPro is unmatched, very teachable. And having a water soluble is most efficient for a commercial cultivation.
What’s the most important part of picking a nutrient?
I use around 2300 gallons a day, so results and ease of use are very important.
What is more important to you? Cost or precision?
Cost is definitely an important factor at a commercial cultivation scale, but with FloraPro you don’t have to sacrifice precision.
