Starting a warehouse, Need HELP

[SwissCheese]

Yeah you just posted pictures of where you may have an illegal grow operation. I can tell you from first hand experience that owning a legal business makes way more money than an illegal business and you don't have to worry about going to jail. I make more in a day now than most drug dealers make in a week, obviously some high level dealers make a lot of money but they have to be paranoid all the time and can't trust anyone.

the us economy is failing ive seen a uproar out in my nec of the woods with people spending the last couple 1000 on grow equiptment to grow illegally even if it only brings in 3000 grand a month that pays bills when u cant find a job, but never the less i usually see tons of ads with people selln there grow equipment when they fail and know it will cost thousands more for a efficent grow room that produces weight, dude u better hope no one who lerks on here had a job there at onepoint theyll be back to get there bonus haha and leo will be allover it

Have you a dispensary in cali ??

The picture from the road is the front of it. Like I said its in the middle of nowhere, nothing is really around the warehouse. The second picture is 1 of 3 storage sections that are 5,000 sq.ft. which have a ceiling height of 40 feet. Their are 6 loading stations for tractor trailors, (2 for each section) which are the white doors in the back of the picture. I'd give out the address so you could stop by but, I'm just not that stupid . To be honest I really dont care if you don't believe me, like I said this isn't the only forum I posted this on. If you take something head on without asking for options or ideas then your a fucking idiot. Seriously, that would be stupid. Think about the top fortune 500 companies, do you think they just open up a business and everything works out fine? No, thats why you ask questions. You think, you don't just do it. You look and see what others have done before you and where they made mistakes, you don't. Yeah I have the money to go out and buy the lights and the systems and everything that I need. But im trying to not spend the rest of my life in prison and maybe think of some options. Who else am I going to ask? My friends? People I know? Yeah thats a great idea. Just ask the people who know me about growing pot in my warehouse. Although thank you for everyone who has given me great feedback. Seriously, I have actually changed a vital design on my business plan because of someone on this forum. Which is why I asked the question.

I say borrow againts it, go to Cali and open a legal grow.

wow dude!..i would do a lot of other things with that than grow bud!!!...invest into somthing u like man! "besides pot" lol....start a workshop,garage,storage..anything dude!...do somthing legal where u can be investing $ for the rest of ur life!...u do that then theres no worries about being busted!..u already posted a pic of the road that its on! "horrible idea"...anyways,all im saying is that if u have a bunch of $ to be investing into grow operations in huge warehouses,you should invest into somthing legal..maybe do a small grow somewhere else,back for person use!...u grow buds to sell ur risking growing them...then u gutta sell them too "disturbution" ..im not trying to be a buzzkill cause with all that space u could do some killer shit!..but i dunno man thats just my 2 cents!

 

[LsdgotAholdofMe]

Spending the rest of you life in prison will not be fun, And that looks like the road your going down friend.

 

[stoner1984]

And the only reason why I do put this on a forum is just because I actually do have a college degree and understand that taking ideas is an important thing to do before taking on an endeavor.

Having a collage degree wont mean shit in this business, i'm not from the US but where i'm from the people at the top of the chain are unlikely to have ever been to collage, they tend to have little education but still are astute business men, they will have little interest in the actual grow and probibly wont have anything in their name for example the property, if you seriously have this warehouse you have already made too many mistakes to use i for illigal activities, posting pictures stating you are the owner then saying your gona set up a full time grow op??? seriously, already its a no go.

Think about the top fortune 500 companies, do you think they just open up a business and everything works out fine? No, thats why you ask questions.

I think any sucessfull business is built on its staff, you need experienced staff and finding people who really know what to do with that much weed would be complicated.

If i were gona do smething like this i'd always use cash, create a john doe and i'd never set foot on the property, i'd be looking to paysomeone to manage it and be as alouf as possible. I'd certainly wouldnt consider posting on an internet site. You dont know who's reading.

You've even given information on your past locations and some old contacts and a picture of your grow factorty, shit with a few grand i could probibly find you. (EDIT) you think whoever is growing for business in your area is gona simply let you walk in with cheap product and absorb the market? they will string you up my friend.

Dear OP-

You know that if a warehouse is getting unreasonably high energy costs that yields a search warrent for police? Talking about a warehouse grow operation online is not a smart thing to do; even if starting small, still never a good idea. I would stick with a room or 2, nothing more. Also, to the guy who said to buy several 1,000 watters, you know how much that would cost him a month? Talk about SKETCH energy bills yo.

Have you a dispensary in cali ??

I wish. My business is related to America's favorite pass time, television, something that 87% of Americans pay for.

calls bullshit...

he's looking at a < than 15k investment just to get lights, nevermind set them up and make them burn.
and thats not enough to fill one bay of that building... then trays, piping, pumps, r/o softners, meters, controllers, timers, a massive amount of nutes, hydroton, a plc, thermostats, venting, a/c and someone that knows how to put it all together and program the plc... and then you get to do it again for the flower room!

nevermind the security your going to need.... and a fire protection system.... and a shitload of personal time
so i figure a 25-30k investment with a 9-12 month wait before product is ready. i figure 30-60 days working bugs out, 6 mon grow, since you will have to start from seed, you could, in theory, get some mothers and get enough clones to do a decent sog in 6 mon, but on the scale he is attempting this is simply not likely, there isnt enough hours in the day for one man to do it all. then another 30 for a minimum dry/cure.
then you have to distribute the shit in a secure manner.

sounds easy till you try it. you cant do it out of the warehouse, unless your absolutly insane and just want to gt robbed and or then busted.
so now you need another safe spot... cant do it out of your house (see above statement)
so now you need another building... enter more overhead here for rent, power, etc etc
so now were in even more, time to drive from production to distribution....
oh, you really dont want to use your personal vehicle for that, lest you be spotted by a nosy someyou know or that knows you...whichs leads to more robbing getting busted
sso now u gotta buy another vehicle... time for more overhead! and it needs to be legit!
so after you secure all that shit, now you drive across town with hundreds of lbs of weed, from production to distribution; prob have to make multiple trips, increasing the odds of something randomly bad happening exponentially with each trip (accident, traffic stop, break down, earthquake whatever, shit happens. plan for it)

lol and after all that, putting out 50k, waiting almost a year, and still no ROI, now you get to sell the shit.

your out of your damn mind

Dude is full of BS and/or really stupid. Like others say...posting pics of your future warehouse grow is BIG mistake #1, and asking advice from an online grow forum where most dudes are growing it in a effin' speaker box is mistake #2.

There's lots of books on how to start a grow and what combinations (lights,etc) work best. Research the shit out first and then make a plan.

If that warehouse is the real deal...I would construct a MUCH smaller room within the warehouse for your grow. Make sure it's well vented, wired properly and a few deadbolts on a hidden door. Make it real stealth like..and then fill the warehouse with a legit storage business or whatever u might be into. You don't need a huge space to have a nice size crop for extra coin.

 

[jimmy130380]

yeah yeah yeah grow the fucker out ,fuck paying for power ,jump the whole lot ,rent it out to some one made up and grow as much as you can ,fuck jail
in for a penny in for a pound

 

[jimmy130380]

yeah also that stealth inside a legit bizzo is a good idea ,grow like 200 to start with in a drip system to waste ,big rez and shit loads of intake and out going fans and co2 so you can run hot

 

[Miss MeanWeed]

I don't care if you are buulshit or not, it's still good to bounce ideas round just in case someone finds themselves in your situation, but for real.

If you were going to do a massive grow all by yourself you'd most likely need to do it in soil. The slightly slower growth would help you with more time to tend to the plants, be more forgiving to fuck-ups, and soil is far easier, cheaper, and faster to set up IMHO.

You could do multiple stadium-type light setups for maximum efficiency and less fuss, apparently 600 watt bulbs are the most cost-efficient, giving you the most bang for your buck, or better yet add skylights and sun-tubes into the mix.

OR just go for gold and try to mimic what Heath Robinson done with his Aeroflo system, https://www.rollitup.org/grow-journals/101347-critical-mass-tree-grow-x-6.html
but on a humongous warehouse scale.

That'd be unreal.

 

[seasmoke]

One of the things i'd do is get my own power supply, be it solar, windmill or a small hydro. A generator for back-up. Getting off the grid would be key, and you could run any hydrophonic system with-out the risk of power failure.

You must have your own water supply. Don't be buying it from the city.

You need storage. Buy in bulk to cut down on traffic and you will have things on hand....not to mention it'll be cheaper. You'll need xtra lights, ballasts, timers, bulbs, fert etc...

DO NOT INCLUDE ANYONE if at all possible.

Install a heavy security system all around the property.

 

[kevin]

most stoners with the kind of money you have tend to change plans. and a 15,000 square foot grow is a lot of work. i would have a kick ass 4x4 closet for my own grow. good luck with your plans.

 

[Fred Fergisond]

Sir, all you need is the High Times Grow Guide 2009, that is all. Oh the people outside are frightful, but the lights are soo delightful, and since we've no place to go...let it grow! let it grow! let it grow!!!

 

[Wohjew]

lol . i still call b.s ...... and if not ? lmao dont post a pic of the building and the the entrance driveway ... all you are doing is incriminating yourself ... if you dont know what lights to use or what system best suits your needs , then your in for a hell of a ride .

 

[Wohjew]

you can have lots of money and all the growing toys and space . but you need hours and practice to make a quality product with profit

LOL!!!!

You have any clue how much dirt that would entail??

Holy shit........
