At worst I air condition one of my shops and loose some money. Is that ideal, No! Is that the risk of any new undertaking, absolutely!

I’m here because of its medical value. My brother was disabled 10 years ago in a work accident (frontal lobe injury, fused spine t5-7, reconstructed face) and after 3 years on pharmaceuticals he began having all kinds of new ailments. Eventually he was told by a local doctor to go find some...

Thanks brother! I’m going to be ok either way. But this is something that I have always Wanted to do. And I’ve always said when they legalize it I’m in. So now it’s time to make it happen.

I understand fully the monumentally hurtles I’m facing. I understand that there is a high probability of failure in the learning process but that’s not going to detour me. I’m sure you are correct in starting with let’s say 10 plants and treating each one slightly different to learn how to...

I’m sorry I haven’t had any grow experience to build from. But form the days reading everything I can find on the subject, I can’t see where I could fail. At worst I toast a few hundred dollars of seeds and start again. I have owned a health food store and owned/operated two service companies...

Thanks for the insight. I completely agree with what you have stated but I’m not wired that way. My wife and I have always went head first into our projects and we have had a successful track record. I know I’m going to make mistakes. I know I’m going to have days that I wonder why the hell I...

Thanks for the overview. Why would I need to buy ballast and reflectors? I have access to complete flood lights. I was planning to retrofit those with quality grow bulbs. As for drainage I was planning to let it run out the doors. I’m in a rural area and own the land for a half mile in any...

I’m thinking 24 lights. That’s 8 per row. I plan to weld up 3 light mounting racks and hoist them with a winch to control my light height. These 1k Odl’s are heavy as hell. Like 75 lbs. I may look at mutilating the housings to reduce the weight. I’m leaning towards 5 gallons buckets and local...

I’m in rural Mississippi. We don’t care what bulbs you have as long as you pay them their tax money. Lol

Mississippi is a hot humid place and if I ever decide to make it a tractor shed again it will be a nice air conditioned work space. lol edit: I missed the double that at the end. lol. I can’t see needing two units to maintain 80 degrees is a insulated 1200 sq ft building!

I have 20+ bulbs in the truck in my yard. lol. I have budgeted 35-40k for this venture so I don’t mind throwing a $100 bulb at a free light. (My company is doing a LED retrograde so we are trashing perfectly functional lights daily.) I know I’ll go LED if I decide to convert the adjacent 30x40...

Thanks for the reply. I have ZERO GROW EXPERIENCE! I would be happy at a half a gram a watt. That would mean that each plant would grow 500 grams based on a 1000 HPS. I’m not much on halfway stepping into something so I can’t see me doing just one. lol.

This is my first post so please excuse me lack of knowledge. With my state passing a medical marijuana law Nov 3rd, I am planning to setup a grow operation in one of my two 30’x40’x12’ metal buildings (assuming I get approved for a license). Here’s my plan please murder it as you see fit. lol...
