Starting a 4 plant 5000 watt grow

[earthwormcastings]

Hey everyone, ive been on this site for a few years now and have been expanding so much during that time. I am now going to be starting a 5000watt flower room (10x10x room that will be holding 4 plants, there will be 4 different rooms with 5000 watts and 4 plants to equal out to harvesting every other week or atleast once a month. EVERYTHING IS WITHIN THE ARIZONA LAW FOR GROWING MEDICAL MARIJUANA. One big question everyone may ask is why do only 4 plants under 5000 watts? Well everything has to stay within the Arizona guidelines for growing, me and 4 paitents equals out to over 50 plants to grow (I will only be needing around 40). So anyway now about the room, so I will be bumping 2 rooms together so I will have two rooms with 8 plants 10,000 watts per a room. Everything will be sealed (no ventilation) with a co2 burner in each room, the co2 burners will be water cooled with a standing reservoir. I will have a 12,000 btu portable ac unit in each room as well to cool the vertical lights. I will post pictures and hopefully vids once everything gets going but I am curious to see if anyone has done this method? I am having a very good friend help me out and set everything up with me, he has done this growing method before and has gotten 2 pounds per a plant. The strains are White Widow, Pineapple Express, Alaskan Thunderfuck, and Headband. If anyone is curious right now I am growing with general hydro nutes under 1 1000watt hps for flowering and am averageing 100g per a plant. *ALSO I forgot to mention HOW I would be growing them haha so ill be using a drip system using coco and general hydro nutes, it will be recirculating if the plants have any drain off, they will be in 45 gallon smart pots (fabric pots). I have heard the Lucas Formula was good for this style of growing but am unsure about a good regimen for getting 4ft tall plants in veg and then starting a flowering for a larger plant.

holy shit,

who cares if its legal in AZ, its still illegal federally so you can still get fucked in the end, might as well go balls out.

how much money did all that cost anyways, sounds like an incredible set up... dats a lot of juice man. lol

 

[earthwormcastings]

its in a house out in butt fuck Egypt haha but the equipment costs around $3000 and the electric bill will be about $600 a month, I will be getting roughly about $3000 a pound out here for it give or take a few hundred, and with that method itll be 8 pounds a harvest (twice a month)

 

[TheSnake]

Well its defiantly worth your while to flip for that kind of coin. Just be careful, moving more weight = more attention of people would would rather rob you than pay you. Congrats on getting all the stuff, most people start in a box with a effing cfl lol.

 

[earthwormcastings]

I have an in with dispensaries here so theres no worries about being robbed and if I am then I have the state of Arizona backing me with an investigation, also ive been doing this for 8 years man, 3 years ago I starting going bigger, 2 years ago I just went offline cuz I expanded, im harvesting 16 plants a month right now and am getting about a quarter per a plant, its good but id like this for a career, its amazing money and is legal on a state level and since I wont be overgrowing my limit I should have absolutely no issue with dea or any other federal agency. I remember doing cfl grows and even just an hps for veg and flower lol but ive grown and definitely learned more about this business. if you have any questions about this man feel free to ask, im not sure how your growing or if your as big as what im doing but I definitely am open to helping anyone with this

dude , you dont even know what yur doing. 5,000 watts for four plants, 1 plant per 100 watts. up the plant count, why the fuck did the rest of you not say anything. noobs need responsible teachers!

 

[earthwormcastings]

apparently you have no idea what your talking about dude, itll work out to about 3,000 watts per a plant, and that will make the plant produce about 2-3 pounds per a plant

 

[silasraven]

i think i do, strains at most, depending on genetics, will yeild 900, but thats a good plant. some 120, there are very few strains that are capable of that wieght. you need top notch genetics not to mention ive seen it once ,but this was without door and a strain thats heavey in afganistan. 1 plant 3 pounds, not happening unless you have the right DNA in the seeds. its very rare. im tired of all these new patients thinking their hot shots.

Def not big, still tech on my first successful grow, like a week or two from chop on those. 1k watt hps. Wish i had the money for 10,000 watt set up or so, and i would be happy. would love to have enough to chop at least 4 pounds a month. probably more like a 4 stage sativa grow (cause i like giggles lol) with 4 1k's each to make sure i get at least a pound from each, so that would be 16,000 watts i guess... haha, but in order for that, ill need to take many steps, in one of those states that's kinda harsh. actually now that i did the math that set up would probably hit like 8 pounds and not 4, brain fart. I'm thinking underground tunnels, with enough solar power to power everything, completely off grid.

would be nice, i dream big.

if you work out the way you said I would do 50 plants underneath 5000 watts, which would only on average produce about 2 oz per plant, so 100 oz is only 6 1/4 lbs per harvest which is 1 3/4 pounds less than what I will harvest with 46 less plants

dude I am learning this method and have seen if first had from someone who has been growing longer than ive been alive, you've been on this site for as long as I have and you have posted more than 3 posts a day and you seem to boast some big growers attitude yet all you show you do is spend all your time on this website smashing on peoples grows saying your the best and you've been in this longer than anyone else, well get a fucking life dude and get the fuck out of my post I was asking for help if anyone else has done this method, I didn't ask people like you to come in here and piss all over an idea you have no clue how to even conceive. I will say this once, IF YOU DONT HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY DO NOT SAY ANYTHING AT ALL!!!!!!!!!

nice man well if you keep up a perpetual harvest you can save money for it lol that's what I did!

 

[silasraven]

dude get a grip. your wasting the money, up your plant count. 3,000 for one plant is going to kill your one plant. dont post to your own post it makes it seem like your just trying to up your post counts.

 

[earthwormcastings]

ok well first off even if what your saying is correct and I only get say 900g per a plant that's still almost 2lbs per a plant, and if im getting about 3g a lb how am I wasting my money? the monthly overhead will be maybe $1500 and ill be harvesting 4 plants every 2 weeks, so how am I wasting my money at all? it pays for itself with a half a lb per a month so im left with about 6-7 lbs per a month that's money in my pocket. So again I ask you how am I wasting money? ive tried one plant with 4,000 watts and it produced 3lbs (granted I only did one plant) but either way I still got way more per light/plant than your method

4 rooms x 5000 watts = 20,000 watts which I think is 200 amps. You must have AC too. You must have a kick ass electrical service in that house. I hope you show us some pics someday.
