    Planning on setting up a 30x40 building

    Also you havent even gotten genetics. Finding a keeper isnt that simple. Not sure the competition or the degree of standard Mississippi has for cannabis. I wouldnt just start 200 seeds and expect them to all appear and perform the same even with the same strain with the laziness of some...

    Planning on setting up a 30x40 building

    Naw I agree totally. He either needs to factor hiring a growing or going in on this venture with a grower. But any grower that has experience doing this much volume has money of their own to invest and doesnt need someone who just has money.

    Planning on setting up a 30x40 building

    Ok subtract $70 per from the $150 for ballast and reflector which leaves $80 for a quality bulb. I do HVAC and Plumbing for a living. You are going to want drainage. Im 100% on the cooling needs. Id use dehumidifiers for lights off.

    Planning on setting up a 30x40 building

    As far as yields figure 35# harvests 32kw at 0.5 gpw with 3.5 harvests per year. 105# a year. Trimmers make $150-$200 per lb. So thats $18k in labor a year.

    Planning on setting up a 30x40 building

    You want 6 4x32 growing surface. 768 sq. ft at 45 watts per sq. ft. X 3.41 btuh per watt is 118k btuh or 10 tons. I would put a 1 ton mini split on the each end of the 32ft. rows between the rows for a total of 10. 10 ton condenser will run you $4k each. (2) branch controllers (reduces amount...

    First time SCROG. WOW!

    I like individual nets. Those get bolted (nylon bolts and nuts) to the netpot lids. Makes moving plants real simple. I also have elbows going up so I can put a vertical and run a horizontal to tie branches to

    Is DWC appropriate for hot weather? Will F & D be better

    Was wondering the same thing. I could never get my plants to look right with F&D Even if they arent the same you could use the electricity used for the chiller on more lights and plants to get the same yield

    Ph Crashing Overnight

    I dont know how they do it then...Maybe its as simple as lowering the amount of calcium containing salts vs phosphorus containing salts? Fact is they do it. Any decent fertilizer manufacturer will warn you not to make stock solutions because of this very reason. Im not doubting that calcium...

    Ph Crashing Overnight

    Well they make Iron chelated for this very reason as it binds with other ions easily. Look at any nutrient label and the iron is going to be chelated. If they chelate the calcium how will it bind to the phosphorous? I didnt say you didnt need calcium if you chelate. Obviously its possible to...

    HSO Green Crack RDWC

    Its an 8 site meant for 8'x4' area. The other 2 werent ready for the system so I only have 6 plants in and put the biggest ones at the end to have room to train them where the 2 unused sites are. Which I definitely needed that extra wiggle room. Hoping for around 1.5gpw

    Germinating with aeroponics

    No u put the stem between. Look at the picture. It hasnt lost the shell yet. I have forgotten to move them from paper towels once and they had the cotyledons out already. They were yellow from lack of light but they greened up. The hardest part is when the roots twist. It takes a gentle hand for...
