so your doing aprox 32 lights total for a building (based on electric cost)... that's about 4 lights coming down each week for aprox 10lbs (very heavy yield per light even if I believe you)... you do not need 2 employee's for 4 lights..., 10lbs should take you 2-3 days to trim yourself...

Transplant, clones, Cleanup and everything else can be done with 1 person...

32 lights does not take 3 people... especially when they are overlapped to come down weekly... tha's a loss of 114K a year...

This guy doesn't have a clue. 10 pounds in 2 days - 3 days. Get the fuck out of here.

jeez bra,
go back and READ

now I know your full of shit... 60k of lights runs around 7-8k a month... especially if your running AC... Like I said "based on your electric bill at 4K in summer... Even at AG rates...

also you would be pulling down 7-8 lights a week for about 1.3lbs per light (much more reasonable in large productions)

2 people can manage a 30 light flip (60 lights)

Probably already been said but ebb flow in rockwool is probably the most common commercial setup I've seen.

Igothydrotoneverywhere, funny id because it really is a pain like that :)

Anyway, I do want to get away from dw and hydroton so I'm thinking coco/drip. I've heard coco absorbs magnesium, what's your secret sauce for it?

hesi nutes, lucas was the cheapeast best solution i feel like until i ran hesi at home. i have had great results, their stuff is fortified with calcium and nitrogen, after running a few trials we are switching to the hesi coco line, after this pallet of gh runs out ;-)

Powerbox's and Flipboxes are nice to have. A commercial trimmer is a must as well.

i have used those before and implored a 10 light flip box. It saves if you dont have the power capacity in your warehouse or the money to buy double the ballasts. but honestly you should.
they sure do make it a pain to schedule regular work hours and there is problems with "hot starting your bubls/ballasts" so you have to turn off all the lights in your grow for 15 minutes in between flips just so you dont burn up your bulbs ballasts.
imo these devices are helpful for rare circumstances

as a full time commercial grower i prefer to not work in the middle of the night. even tho the electricity is cheaper and the grow runs better. a lot of grow warehouses can ONLY run there power at night in order to avoid maxing out the transformer. even if we flipped mid day, for management purposes it seems more of a headache, more to manage. if the square footage is already maxed out and the building can electricly support all of those square feet, fuck a flip box. ive seen those things almost blow up too,alot going on in that little box . beware of non ul listed equipment.

Geesh, Hesi's formula schedule is one of the hardest to understand I've seen. Do you use all that or just their grow and bloom?

ahh i devised a clever method for cleaning and seperating hydroton, just dump it in a light bleach solution in a 55 gallon trashcan with about 40 gallons of the light bleach solution, the hydroton should float and be easily skimmable.

the problems we are having with coco are cleanliness(we are analy clean here and the stuff gets everywhere) and clogging of 1/2" drain tube, build your joint out with 1" tubing for drains.

at home i have used straight hesi coco with pk13/14 and ph down only with amazing results.... you dont need the tnt complex(veg) with scrog or sog. there is enough nitrogen in the bloom solution for growth.
