    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Right now it's all over the place. We're still recovering from the mites and going to small plants. I'm slowly working the crop schedule to a 20 day program. Since the bloom room basically holds 3 - 8x8 trays, I figured on harvesting one tray every 20 days. I'll run this perpetual for a while...

    Help To Design My Grow Room

    You're in way over your head. Slow down. Right off the bat, your limitting factor will be how much power you can draw. You can't draw enough power in a residence to light all those rooms. How much growing experience do you have??? I HIGHLY suggest starting small and adding on as you get...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I paid Helper D $3,000/month salary. He had to be at the grow 7 days/week. In 6 months I covered him about 5 times. There was alot more work in the beginning. Today, a helper would only need to put in about 3 hrs/day + trimming time. I pay trimmers $15 - $20 per hour depending on how fast they...

    Thanks for the kind words. I can't believe my grow is being seen in Iraq! We all look forward to having you guys back home...safe and sound. . Until then, be careful out there. What kind of grow are you thinking about when you get back? If you're in So Cal, give me a shout and I'll get you a...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I really wanted to keep any equipment off of the roof. But, there's just no way to do that. These A/C units just generate way too much heat. They're going on the roof. Commercial J has one on the roof and he's in the same complex as I am. It's where the thing should be installed. I'm getting...

    Marijuana economics

    I agree with DSM and Dan Kone. This really isn't the place to discuss pricing for export. At the same time, I just saw the first early season 50 lbs hit my town today. I'd rather see it hit Chicago. Every year at this time I feel some fear. Yet, so far (knock wood), my indoor keeps moving right...

    8k watt prop215 electricity cost????

    I usually figure $100/month for every 1000 watt light. This covers the lighting, A/C, fans, etc...This figure works pretty good on my current grow. I'm running 18 - 1000 watt lights and my bill is just under $2,000/month. It's a rough number, but will get you close enough for budgeting.

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I started on the new electrical sub panel for the new A/C unit. While doing this I discovered some fuck ups Helper D made while wiring up the existing sub panels. I was very specific on wire sizing, and he somehow got it wrong. I have a massive under voltage at my lighting sub panels. I worked...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Oh shit. It is I who apologize. I didn't see the post where someone was asking questions about where to get the tent. Now I feel like a dick. Very sorry. I thought it was just a random post saying "check this place out".

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Wolverine and Wood, I, too, am all to familiar with CO2 addiction. This is why I am opposed to running CO2 in anything but a totally sealed grow room with state of the art CO2 monnitoring and controls. It's another reason why I wanted to wait until the rest of the grow was totally dialed in...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    This seems to apply to fruit off the vine. Anyone have any good data on cannabis ripening on the vine with CO2 enrichment? Not that it really matters. I'm moving ahead with reckless abandon. I'll find out soon enough if there's a negative effect on the ripening process. I have a feeling that...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Well, that's SOME people's reason for growing the stuff. Actually, their original reason was to have all the weed they could smoke. They were comitted to smoking it all, too. Well, 2 lights became 4, and a garage grow became a warehouse...and a 4 light show became a 15 light show. These guys are...

    Need I list all the things wrong with this post? Wrong place, my man. So, is this your website? A friends? I think I've made my feelings on mail ordering hydro gear quite clear. I have similar feelings for spam posts...which this cleary is, my friend. Please remove it from this thread. It's...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    If the 700ppm becomes a problem ripening, I'll add a ripening room. Since not alot of light is needed for ripening I could just run 4 - 600's in big reflectors. This would also increase my total bloom space. We have plenty of room in the warehouse to do so. Truth be told, I'm not too worried...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Wood, Just got off the phone with Commercial J. He runs 900ppm - 1000ppm, with a 100ppm deadband. As far as reducing CO2 at end of cycle, he just reduces it to 500ppm the last week. He didn't think it would be much a problem with my perpetual running less than 1000 all the way through. I've...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    Wolverine is right. It's not attitude, bud. He just knows what it takes to get a pheno like this one. It's one of those true "clone only" phenos that get either get passed from firend to friend, or sold for prices that would probably make you choke. Even if I wanted to, I couldn't let a live cut...

    20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

    I was going to wait for CO2 until I had the remodel done. After visiting Commercial J's grow op and seeing his example of the same Bubba cut I grow, I've decided to move forward today on the CO2. He just pulled 7 lbs from an 8x8 table lit by 4 1000 watt lights dimmed down to 750 watts. I've...

    How much do you pay for a pound?

    California here. Heavily involved in med trade. Top shelf will go between $2500 and $3500 depending on who you know. There are ALWAYS exceptions. A few collectives will pay $4000 for something truly special, and I know a guy who sells very good SFV Kush for $2000...cause he grows a buttload of...

    what would you guys say

    Every bit of 2 months to go. Given how far it's NOT along right now, I'd say she's a pretty slow finisher. No doubt she's mostly Sativa. Let's all say a little prayer that you can get her done with no mold issues. If she were mine (this is just my opinion), I would spray her with some...
