20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

so wheres the pics? sounds like a good garden.

And thanks for you're interest, I have just got the ball rolling after summer hit me hard with root rot, so installed air cons,and have got both sides vegging, half in dwc half in coco to compare growth and ofcourse harvest,most of my refelctors I built myself, so they're 4x lights per 2.5 metre hood and have 6 of them between 2 rooms in my 3x4m section,I run a pre filter and ro system too,will be switching over to flower in about 2 or 3 weeks only, sorry I don't have previous crop pics but the paranoia got to me being why I've resorted to trading knowledge online rather. Will keep updates of my grow on here from now. Any pointers on any subject would be appreciated as I've just learnt as I go along, when I started I had a 400 watt shower grow, moved it to my garage, and there after to 3 houses before I bought my own home where I now live peacefully with my girls,so ive still got some finishing touches to get to on the space ship

Yes it has been. I'm still on the no pics kick, paranoia has a way of consuming portions of my existence. So while I don't have pics, the new op is seriously nice. Not quite as nice (or large) as yours, but nice nonetheless. I'm still running most of my staple strains, and have added several new varieties that are showing lots of promise. The laws out here are still being clarified, there's a lot of grey areas, so I still try to be very careful. On the plus side, I just got a box of Cali Connection gear (the whole lineup) for free, so I'll be testing out some new strains shortly.

Hope all continues to go well for you, stay safe.

GOOD LUCK WITH THE CALI CONNECTION SEEDS. I recently had 39 out of 40 seeds develop the Hermi trait at approx 7 weeks from when they cracked. They could care less; already got my money. This was the result that 3 different growers experienced so it was not something I did or an isolated case of stress induced Hermi... They were also 4 different strains (10 each X 4) BUT ALL LOOKED THE SAME in terms of leaf size/shape, number of nodes at a certain time in development and color of the leaflets individually..

youll notice a big dif with air con in the room, dries it out a bit also.cant beat those RO systems.very ns place and plenty of room,my future gro room,lol.....wen i first started posting i was kinda nervous first yr.been 4 yrs now,so i believe yure cool as far as riu goes.keep it comin.

And there's a few more, found an old budding pic of mine, how ever there will be more greenery soon, look forward to trying the air con, wouldve saved things in summer,but none the less I'm open to new methods being why I'm going to compare my coco+hydroton to straight dwc.

And now for the last few.would love to see some more pics cg!

I have lots of experience w/ CC gear. I don't have any major complaints, a hermie here and there, but there are absolute beast pheno's to be found for those w the patience to do so.

thats all i do is fems.if a hermie comes up i jus pick it .,my las crop must have gotten a light leak and about 12 plants had them.i picked them and the crop of 40 plants had only a a few seeds couple plants or 98% seed free.i'll never thro away a plant less its a male.....did u do all thay work yureself or did u have to bring a electrician in?i jus switched from multi 2 gallon sqare containers to these 3 gallon sqare airation bags,i think i'm gonna be overwhelmed....looks great my man.

Thanks, yes I did it by myself with the instructions from my old sparky(thank goodness for him)I've come a long way since my soldered extension leads with the trip fuses removed.
I've actually noticed today that my coco plants are over taking my dwc,so that's really appealing, and all my dwc irrigation works so well with coco pots,wish we had the products to combat root rot in dwc here but were kinda limited so hoping my coco grows will show an improved harvest. Ill be following your grow too, look forward to seeing more.

looks sweet bro with all that room,i'd build me an empire thats for sure, with all this obama care goin around things gettin tough.rdr.

For the love of Fuck, tidy up all those red wires in pic 2.

IMHO anything over about 80 watts/sq ft is overkill. If you have the space, spread out and use more room. I bet your yield would go up if you expanded to around 60 watts/sq ft.

WTF does Obama Care have to do with anything? Nevermind. Don't answer. I'm not going to engage in a political discussion. Wrong thread.

I would clean all these post up cg but its not my area! If you want il ask another mod to?

Thanks will do, as I said I had finishing touches to do on my op still aswell as that I'd expand to a 3rd room.

CG, did you consider using a trailer as a grow room? Something like what GrowOp offers? While a setup like that would likely require a higher ceiling, the mobility factor looks appealing to me.

Thanks for the offer, Brother. I'm not too worried about it. I'm letting this thing wind down. I really wanted to share the construction and first year. After all that's the exiting part. Now we're just chuggin along with very few changes. I think I've said everything I wanted to say about growing and trying to be a good and responsable grow op manager. I'll still hang around and answer questions not already answered, but not with the regular pic and big entry posts. Now I'm reading other posts and just enjoying my other friend's grows here.

Cg now you should try a bit of breeding

The thought of having viable pollen anywhere near my op is acary as fuck.

So hire a buddy to do your crosses for you.

You could easily redefine Bubba Kush.
