    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Bob, maybe I wasn't clear. The price is not the problem...not by a long shot. 20 new HID's would cost me a little under 10K if I didn't have the flip option. I would gladly spend 40k if I could get that same performance from an LED or induction light. Quality wise, myself, and the dispensaries I...

    16000+ watts medigrow: og kush+ 13 x 1kw hps + 3 x t5 badboys + grotek = *HAPPY JOY*

    Damn, Kitty, you outdid yourself. Very nice BAVERB settup. I dig the seemingly random light spacing...seems to be lighting from just every direction. Random Lighting....Hmmmmm....RANLIBAVERB. I have a question, and I don't mean to be critical. The plants look like they have a little claw going...

    STAY AWAY FROM LED's!!!!!

    Maybe someday LED's can compete with HID's...but today is not the day. I'm still waiting to see just one nice sized commercial grow op running LED's to produce HID quality buds. All I hear is about all the great PAR numbers and the like. Nobody wants a new lighting choice more than myself and...

    Need help going all out!!!!!!!

    Infect3d, Check out the build in my sig. It's a 20k grow we built in a warehouse. I layed out everything we did and the costs involved. Most people DRASTICALLY underbudget what it takes to do it right. It's good that you have capitol to do it right. We spent 80k total. I should say this...

    Vending?

    Warrior, you're on the wrong website. Just go to Harborside's website. They have a vendor's page that lays the whole procedure out, including days and hours they accept new vendors. Good luck.

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Pic 5 is our new "D Bubba" mother plant. This is one vigorous Bubbster. Pic 8 is the Tahoe x Chem Dawg test plant. I blasted this one with ALOT of MH light to keep is short. We'll see if I can get some yield from this one. I'm trying to find the best way to grow this stuff. The quality is so...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    As Wolverine says, there are 2 bloom rooms. Each room holds 20 lights, for a total of 40 lights. However, he only has 20 ballasts (actually, 10 Lumatek dual 600 watt ballasts). The ballasts run 24/7 and the flip box sends the juice to one room for 12 hours and then "flips" to the other room for...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I can get some pics next time I'm there. I just have to remember to bring my camera. Pics don't even do it justice, though. It's a series of several rooms in what can only be described as a growing facility. He runs around 40 lights in bloom on a 20/20 flip settup. There are 2 veg rooms., a...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Both of us spent a decade with GH Flora. I think every grower has some GH experience. My good friend and Weed Super Hero Mellow Kitty can take a toke and tell you if GH was used to grow that sample. Cutting edge has the 3 parts and 3 additives. Both Commercial J and myself us the Mag Amp...

    Which city??

    Ventura is not too cool for growers. There are no dispensaries in the entire county. Every delivery service that starts up get set up and busted.

    OMG. I typed the first post...tried to post, bu lost it...and re-typed a shorter version. Then...5 mins later...it shows up posted. Tommyo, Commercial J got 7 from 3Kw. He runs his 1k lights dimmed to 750 watts. The reflectors are Magnum XXXL's. Crazy thing is, this is just his home "hobby"...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Pic 1. These are not my buds! LOL. Commercial J let me take a few pics of his drying room at his home grow. The fucker just pulled 7 Lbs. from 4 - 1000 watt lights dimmed to 750 watts. This sickly little guy is actually a very healthy Tahoe OG x Chem Dawg. I did some mild super-cropping to...

    That's what I'm talking about. Wood, you know I love ya, Bro. I think Wolverines is right and all three of us gave WAY too much weight to a semantics difference. How about none of us waste any more time going down a negative trip that's jusr not necessary. I'll post a couple pics taken...

    Wood, Hey, Bro. I think we're just kind of on different pages, here. You've been around long enough to know that I never add fuel to a brewing fire, especially if one of the old guard (YOU!) is involved. Let me try to put this to bed without any further tension. I am well versed in the...

    Cali hash prices

    I hear ya on the hash brick. As we speak, my machinist is fabricating a die that will allow me to press 25 - 1 gram "pucks" in one press cycle. I'm hoping to walk in my fav club with a cute little wood box full of perfect 1 gram pucks ready for sale. They love that shit.

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I never mix sealed with ventilated. I've found that plants become addicted to high levels of CO2. If a room running at 1000ppm drops to 500ppm, growth STOPS. The only way to maintain the desired CO2 level all day long is to keep the room sealed. Cold outside air does help cool things because the...

    Interesting stuff. If you woulkdn't mind, could you please source your info. I'm aware of the auto restart feature (we will be using the existing exhaust system as the emergency cooling system), but haven't heard about any problems under 65F. Fortunately, I'm near the beach where it's pretty...

    How does cali trim buds there buds?

    Personally, I wouldn't do that. 3x6 lit with 2 x 600 watt HPS's would be better. Or, reduce the canopy area to 4x4. If you do try to light 5x5 move the plants often to give everyone a turn under the bright part. If you set up a 5x5 it will be obvious that the outer plants aren't getting enough...

    CO2 generator is back ordered for a month. I'm hell bent on the one allowing forced air cooling. While waiting for CO2, found a great source for ductless split A/C systems. 24,000BTU, Hitachi compressor, $1,028 tax license and delivery from Texas. It includes a 25' line set. It's only 13 SEER...
