We are already scoping out places. The last space was very big but not really perfect, maybe not the most discreet and also with partowners of the proprety jostling for power over the place. Anyways, looking forward to building a new grow from the floor up. We learnt a lot since starting.
Spain is an awesome place period! Unless you want to make your living working a normal 9-7 job. Never enough pay.

Adding the blues helps tremendously. I run 450nm royal blues for the first 6hrs of flower. From a blue light bar I built. Helps stretching as well.

What sort of wattage/sqft or blues/whites ratio do you run?

I made homemade heatsinks. Out of thick walled 2x2 extruded aluminum tubing. Cut three sides. One not. Mounted starboards with the 3up cree royal blue diodes. 10 per bar. I run two bars one on each side of 660w+ of Samsung mid power whites. I run them on an LPV-60 driver. 39w a bar basically.
Like these but with the starboards mounted. Instead of strips.

Honestly just grab ya some throw em on something and mess around with different usages. I've run them with reds and whites for the whole 12hrs. Reds only with whites for 12hrs. Whites n blues both for 12hrs. The best ratio I've found for yield, lowest amount of stretch at onset of flower, and trich production. For me, has been the following setup.
12 hour day cycle
First 10mins reds only
Then the whites kick on with reds and stay on for 11hrs 40mins. Reds go off halfway through.
Then halfway through reds go off. Then blues kick on. With whites. Then the last 10 mins of the day cycle is reds only. No whites or blues. Then night cycle.

I'm undecided on wattage as I could run them up to 360 watts but in all likelyhood I'll run them softly.

As a proud spanish I have to agree...but…
If you grow you have to be cautious cause is still not legal in spite some bad informed people would say.
Lot of crops are being robbed by thieves..specially countryside crops..thieves are usually related to gipsy people which seems to have specialized on that . In my región they have even trained dogs (like pólice) to search for plants in apropiate áreas.
At some point...Holland mafias and Moroocan inmigrants are growing such a big quantity in the country that there is over production in some áreas
Every day big indoor crops are seized by cops. they were destined to European market. People in áreas with high unemployed rates (40% in the south) are growing in such quantity that every day they have power cuts due to the ilegal use of electricity. The city of Granada is famous for this issue. Most of indoor grows are busted for electrical fraud.
Due to bank seeeds genetic politics and massive production quality is going lower and lower, on the contrary hash quality has improved in order to compete with weed.
Every day thousands of foreign Young tourist looking for weed are been tricked by weed mafias that sell bad weed at big prizes in tourism áreas.specially in Barcelona and Madrid cities
There are some smokers clubs that apparently in a semi legal situations sell cannabis..well they are mostly dealers...with very high prizes for Spain...and quality is bad...they paid about 3 $ per grame to the grower (indoor) with this prizes nobody cares about quality..
I have been growing since late eighties...I have seen all situations here...and imho things are going worse…
Regarding the legal aspect...maybe in the future growing Will be allowed...but...the country is in a desintegration process due to stupid little nationalism regions inside Spain. Some regions will allow grow others not the same..and they will only allow it for tax profit and political reasons...not thinking in personal freedoms. Probably at the end only some big Companys will be allowed to grow. Things will not be easy for personal growers.
In spite of all I have said...this is a great country to live in...specially in the north were jobs are better paid and life is more peacefully
