We are in Mississippi. At 90-100% humidity year round the damn dehumidifiers are going to cost as much as the damn lights. lol

You need to invest in a Aden or Quest 225 or something. Thats alot of RH to overcome. Even sealed up, I still prob need another 3 ton mini split, or Quest. Im just hanging on to VPD at this point, and Im sealed up tight, running CO2 and an AirROS.
Yes!, they have. I just posted an 8 week update. I'm liking the little video tours, it's much easier for me than typing it out, and you can see what's going on alot better. How's that Compound Custom Cane working out for you brother?

Well I haven't put it to work yet. But as soon as the dogwoods' bloom its going to help me down the fishing trail. After the spring spawning runs Im taking her on a hiking tour. Pictures to come! Until then its in my bedroom. Matter of fact its the last thing I see every night before the lights go out.

Depending on the plant load and medium used you'll need something like a 335 pint or more to handle enough humidity bigger is better in this situation.

I’m planning on a pair of quest 506’s per room. 150 plants per room x max feed rate of 1 gal per plant =1200 pints a day minus runoff recovery minus 10% from the ac and it’s at the top of the 506’s capacity.
edit: what I don’t know how to sizeis the drying room. 240 sqft

Well, since the market is shit.. the Trim Teams have gotten cheaper too. I've pre-hired a 15 man crew to come do this crop for ~$2000, and a 2 day est turn around time. That roughly $80 a lb hand trimmed, no GreenBroz. Back in the day, it was closer to $400 a lb hand trimmed. All's im gonna do is chop and hang, they'll do the rest. I've seen thier finished work, and it's pretty amazing.

That would work well. I've got a 506 per room at the big place but 15 tons of ac per room. The 506 is a beast.

As always your op is top notch. Hopefully some of your flower will make it to my town so I can give it a try. Will definitely be on the look out for it.

Hey @DoubleAtotheRON I noticed in another thread tonight how much you spend each run on nutes. Would organic beds be cheaper to run overall?
The initial cost might be high to get started but if you can just keep running the same soil for years just top dressing/ cover crops or what not.
I started running organic soil a few years ago but I run mine in pots and let a batch sit and cook in totes while I run a different batch and have been using the same soil re amending at half so far and top dressing in flower every few weeks.
You should check out Gold Leaf Gardens, I heard them on some podcasts and they do organic no till beds commercial.
Here's the podcasts I listened to.

Just thought I'd throw that out there
Thought maybe it might be cheaper. At least worth investigating.
Amazing grow as always by the way!!!!!

Now, this week’s podcast was a fun one. Some of my podcasts can get more technical or science-focused, however for this podcast, I wanted to talk directly with a grower to get some hands-on experience and knowledge from someone in the industry. I had the honor of sitting down with my good friend...

Thanks!.. i've tossed the idea around, but like you said, the initial cost is pretty high. The way our market is right now, it's a tough decision on how much to spend on the next run. You could break even, or not make much at all. I am cutting back on some nutes/addititives like CalMag, Mammoth, etc, so that should bring us down closer to $600 a run. We're just gonna wait and see what the market does through 2022. If it continues it's race to the bottom, we'll prob bounce out, and just do a home grow. We can still have 24 plants as a patient, and that's plenty of weed for us to consume, barter with, or consume with friends that don't grow. We have a group of friends that just don't have time to do it, and they own businesses, so we trade services at times. Appreciate the link tho!... Im gonna strap on my Bose headphones and listen to that podcast as I feed today. Don't know how many I'll have today.. had 44 to feed yesterday. Gonna make about 150 clones tonight, and get ready for the next run.Hey @DoubleAtotheRON I noticed in another thread tonight how much you spend each run on nutes.

Edit: I've never noticed a difference using Mammoth anyways. Shit is expensive! Haven't used it the past 2 grows.

You should try 1 4x4 bed to see what the cost and the yeild/ quality is like.
All you would need essentially is some pro mix and a bag of 444 all purpose dry veg nutes mine cost me $50-60 Canadian and it lasts me over a year with my 5x5 I get the 10 kg bag
Plus I get a small tub of power bloom which lasts me about a year probably longer(2 kg)
I might start getting the 10 kg bag of the power bloom as well as it's much cheaper to buy the 10 kg bags than a 2 kg jug.
But that's pretty much all you need.
I add extra dolomite lime ($20/50lb )and crushed oyster shells($20/50lb) to help buffer ph so I don't even have to ph my water.
Also add neem meal as I battled gnats for awhile and purchased a 10 or 20 lb bag about 2 years ago that I'm not even half done yet.
Alot of dry amendments they sell dirt cheap at farm feed stores and what not. I have just been using giaia green dry amendments, probably cheaper options out there.
A 4x4 bed wouldn't cost much to set up and test out and i would think it would cost alot less than half the initial cost to keep running it year over year.
Hopefully the price picks up around your area and you can keep your op up and running. It's always a pleasure to look in on your sweet op and see that thing chugging along. You got one of if not the best set up on rollitup that I've seen.
Keep up the great work.

That's what we're hoping too!.. and thanks!, appreciate the kind words!, we work hard at it. But, like I said, we've kinda got a groove going right now, so I don't want to change anything up till we see how the next few months go. We did have around 1400 growers drop out as of Jan 1st, so maybe we're on the upswing of things.... only time will tell.
