Few questions before I get started

That's a good point. 20k is amateur time. 40,000 watts, now THAT is growing weed! I agree that soil is super complicated, plus it's all buffered and shit and has all kinds of micro nutes in it. And you have to water it, like every 2-3 days. If you want something even easier, I would go with an aeroponic set up. They are virtually fool proof and nothing every goes wrong with them.

Save some cash for your electric bill though. I'm pushing around 5k of juice total, we have some of the lowest power rates in the country, and my bill is around $550/month. Pushing 40k of lights, and another 5 for AC, fans, pumps etc your looking at 45kvh per hour. So your bill would be around $4,500 a month. The good thing is that you can totally wire a 250 amp circuit breaker yourself. When you go to the store to buy the wire, look for the stuff that is the size of three garden hoses wound together.

Hes being sarcastic too^

You would need some heavy wiring... and a really good electrician that you can trust if your not an electrician yourself. Dont want that warehouse burning to the ground.

Ya I am considering a airstone + pump for each 5 gallon bucket.
That's DWC. Airpump for the airstone. No water pump needed, unless you are going to do recirculating dwc. I did a grow with 2 - 5 gallon buckets, one plant each. I used THIS airpump for both buckets and it was definitely enough for them (in my opinion). The roots came out almost filling the buckets.

I think we have pretty much got it nailed down. The only thing left is going to be a pair of scissors to do the trimming. I would splurge and get 2 pair!

I like following legals post,, they always lead to some funny shit... FYI, my first grow was 2000watts in hydro ebb&gro (30 plants) and I had my hands full, and way too much fucking reading.. if you want to do that many plants on your first grow and want to have a half ass success , outdoor would have been the way to go... little late now... if you do it anyways, I want to follow along,, even the setup... 20 lights,, too funny..

Oh come on guys. Which light bulb should I use has to be THE most common question that guys growing 70 plants with 20,000 watts ask.

I would just like to thank the idiots and responding smartasses of the world(more specifically this thread) for giving me a laugh. btw, i would have put that shit in my sig too if senior legally didn't do it already. This is like a super example of what i see everyday, people wanting to make a fortune with no clue how to do it or how much work growing PROPERLY takes.......not so much on this site....most the people are here because they're proactive and honestly trying to learn. I've never really bashed anyone on here before but holyshit.....you're dumb askonja and you should thank me and everyone else that told ya so if we're the ones who persueded you not to blow all your money on something that wouldn't turn out well. What good is a big room full of shitty(that's too hopeful, I meant dead) plants. 20 grand, 30 grand..........try 50-60 at least to get you to the end of your first harvest on a grow that size. how could it cost that much you ask............not gonna explain, but i have a few friends with grows around that size and they put 6 figures into it right off the bat. growing is EXPENSIVE and TIME CONSUMING, how many employees ya plan on having..............enough, thanks for the laugh

I should probably smoke a little before posting next time. Dumb was a little harsh, so I'm sorry, ignorant and naive would have been more appropriate. Sometimes ya gotta be a little cruel to be kind. Would you want someone to blow smoke up your ass when it comes to your dreams? You can have a grow that size eventually if you're willing to do it right. Doing it right definitely doesn't mean going big right away....you'll fall on your face. Imagine running a marathon will little to no training, you won't even finish the race, let alone finish big. Knowledge and experience will be your best tools in making your goals happen here. Forum Tip : don't ask questions that are easily figured out with a little research. We all pick up on that very quick and it pisses us off. Growing large amounts of sellable bud is a lot of work and when someone posts "lazy" questions and outlandish ideas, it gives the impression that you don't have the commitment to grow a closets worth of bud let alone a warehouse full. Now I'm gonna go Good Will Hunting a few books and jump into doing some brain surgery..........wait....anyone know what a scalpel is?​

Agreed with everything you said, but the part in red really gets to me! I feel like reading and teaching myself has made me the grower I am. My first post on a forum was here less than two years ago and Iv been growing on and off for 8 years now, all Iv done is read books and stuff on the net and personal exp. Now Im not saying Im a pro, I want to be at a much higher level. I just cant wait to see what Im doing 5-10 years from now :-)
