Based on how many 1000 hps lights you have up, how many hours they are on per day, the rate the electric company charges, etc, you should be able to work out what your monthly bill will be. Anybody know how? I'm thinking of about 10 k hps to start and the cost of electricity is going to be a...

I'm already assuming the the first crop will be a failure. That is built in to my calculations. If it isn't a failure, that's just a bonus for me. I don't know how much time it will to to garden. At first, I will have only about 60 plants! Soon after, I will be able to legally grow about double...

So, how easy is it to connect all of these things to some kind of environmental control unit that can automatically turn the AC on at the right times to keep it at the right temp when the lights are ON and then turn of the heater as needed when the lights are off? Is it relatively simple to set...

And I'm going to post pictures and updates of everything on this site. So all you guys will be able to see it all the way from the constructing phase through the first crop. It's 100% legal so I got nothing to hide. I think this place will be an invaluble resource in helping me solve whatever...

Well, I'm pretty confident in my ability to research and learn the basics before I begin. It's going to require an incredible amount of dedicated studying, but that's okay. As for the size, it's simply a matter of "if you're gonna do something, do it right."

phillipchristian is fucking BADASS!

My op is going to be in a decent sized industrial unit. I'm in Toronto. During the winter it is fucking cold, as it is all over the Northeastern United States in places like NY and Boston. Let's say that my lights keep the place warm when they are running (I ASSUME this will be the case.)...

I'm scared of that shit. And I want to be absolutely sure that it is safe. I'm going to hire an electrician to do it all. he said to wire ten lights, hook it up to a environmental control, and secure the pulley system to the cieling so i can raise and lower the lights will cost me about $3,000...

Awesome. I will look into this.

Do you know how I can tell how many amps it is? Or what phase it is? The space is not really a strip mall per se. It is a conglomeration of different industrial units. They are all zoned for industrial, commercial, food, or warehouse use ..... so I would assume they have more amps than a...

What does this mean?

I'm in the process of looking for a space for my medical grow op. I'm considering buying a commercial space in a strip mall type area. Because it is a commercial space it should have more electricity capacity I think. I had an electrician come in and look at the space and he said it should be...

What is a dual hose? The guy i talked to at the AC place said i should be looking at ductless units.

So I called a few places and they said I need a ductless ac unit. I'm guessing this is what you guys were referring to with the "split unit." The compressor will go on the roof and cables will connect it to the unit within my space. The cost including installation will be around $5,000. Damn...

Okay. I guess I will have to buy an AC unit then. Any recommendations? If I get someone to install a massive AC unit in the room will that keep it "sealed" so that I can still run co2? I'm sorry but I have literally zero knowledge of heat control - if you can fill me in or direct me to a better...

From what I gather, the room should be sealed for co2 to be effective. However, I am planning a large room with several 1000 hps lights. It's gonna be HOT in there. How can I keep the temperature from spiralling out of control unless I have massive fans/ducts to cool the lights and vent the hot...

Hey, I'm in the process of planning my first (legal) grow and I'm trying to figure o how to go about it. I know one thing - I want to go all out. I was thinking about 8 1000 watt hps lights. Since I am limited to 25 plants (for now) I was thinking of maximizing my yield per plant by doing a...

50 Gallon pots?? That's huge. Update: i just talked to my landlord today and he is willing to rent me a massive, 1500 square foot loft with super tall 15 foot cielings! Just imagine the monster sized plants I could grow in there. I could do some sativas and let em grow to the size of a big...

Absolutely glorious. Is deep water culture one of the better strategies for maximizing yeild per plant? Also, what strain is that in the picture (if you know.)

I am neither a hobo nor a 16-year-old. The yield is not the most important thing. However, since I have unlimited lights, hydro and space my only limitation is plants. Therefore, it makes sense to focus on a strategy that maximizes yield per plant. It would be stupid to chose a strain that...
