How I'd do it

Just found out about it when I got home tonight. So, no I didnt get any of it yet.
and Im pretty sure the owner prob. wouldnt want to drop our prices to 15 an 1/8th for a strain so there is that also....maybe I can grab some for a home grow.

Figured I'd mention, am looking at the salve power that could be created from it - topicals should be quite solid to say the very least.

OK or ask BadAndy. I never even know if you are around, you lurk even worse than i do....
Hows it going man? Been too long. How is work?

The shop is doing well..finally got the permits and such going and building out the expansion. SHould have another 100 1k's within a month hopefully. which means meds come out by june/july.

Thanks for the update BadAndy. I'm gonna come by y'all's place, just heard too much good stuff to not I read the discussion on the R4. I picked some up today and left a post in Kramers CBD thread.

its a little funny to me how we turned one of finshaggy's shitty ass threads into something useful

Ironic even. Who says you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear...

Yea we got like an additional 4400 sq feet of grow space...we will have 2 new veg rooms and 6 new flowering rooms. We were hoping to get into one side of the shop as soon as it was built out but the MMED wont let that happen so we have to wait for the entire damn thing is built to move in. When the job is finished we should have approx. 150 lights total for flower (including the ones in the current shop) We actually started to stock our veg room in anticipation of the new grow which is straining our one little veg room right now =P

Oh and that doesnt even cover the veg in the new shop....one room will stack T5's and shelves for small plants the other will be full of 600's (10 or so I think) to help veg them out into larger pots (I think we may wind up with either ten gallon smart pots or 15 gallon hard sided pots.)

Andy, what kind of stretch can i expect from the Delahaze and Emerald Jack? I am just about to toss a 4' tall dela and 3.5' tall jack into flower and would like to know if i am going to be picking things out of the ceiling.

Speaking of pot size, u kno my set up... do you think ten gal smart pots is to big for my bloom tent? Tru that em jack is dank as fuck!

@trueno- The dela haze will stretch much more then the emerald jack. Expect it to almost double in size where the jack will not stretch too greatly. depending on how much space you have you might to do some bending. the jack we grew was much more bushy and had little stretch.

@chef- yes ten gallons should be plenty big for your tent.

Thank you sir, 6' ceilings, 5 1/2 foot light height, so i will probably have to tie her up a bit. I got both of these cuts from dispo, so i figured you would have a good idea of what i am dealing with here.

I've always used fives but I'm now in ten so, do you think I'll yeild more, or that the pot could just support larger plants? That would yeild more? How long would u veg a plant going into a 10?

With the super soil we use we generally veg 2 weeks in the largest sized pots just so they have nutes for the whole cycle. we transplant from 7 gal into 20's or 3-5 into tens. I recently have started putting "layers" of some really hot soil at the bottom of the pots so the plants get a boost about half way through flower. and they seem to be responding very well to it. Maybe I can get a pic up of the flower at the shop.

Tens will undoubtedly support a bigger plant and therefore you should get better yields. I would just bush out the girls that your putting in flower a tad.

So you guys have a power demand of a couple hundred kilowatts - damn, that is significant. CO Springs Utilities is gonna love you guys. I'm not sure how much red tape and permit stuff you would have to wade through to install a small gas turbine cogeneration unit instead of being prisoner to CSU power rates. Over time the energy savings might make a difference if things get more competitive, natural gas is cheap and gonna stay cheap. Just saying.... And I'm sure you could get some free national press about how you're using "green" energy.... Ought to get some mileage out of that.

btw , I don't sell cogens or anything, just work around the power industry and giving my 2cents. Your price of power is going to go up whether CSU shuts down the Drake station or not. If they shut it down then the rate payers will have to bear the cost to build large scale natural gas generation facilities to replace it. If it stays open, it will need serious pollution control equipment... rate payers bear the cost for that too. Anyways, I'll hush up now.

to be fair we run whats basically a better built flip box so we arent pulling that much at once...paired rooms only on for 12 hrs at a time.
