The best system for a large commercial grow

Hey im debating on a new system to build.. I have a whole spare bedroom to use for a fresh new grow-op and i want to do it BIG. The room is about 12x11 with 8 ft ceilings.

Money is not an issue but economical is always good. I want to use roughly 5k worth of light to get huge buds.

What is the best producing, most efficient, system to build?
Lets make a JUNGLE!

got the same situation here for myself... did a first run drip hydro just to make sure I would even be able to grow. Ive read that aeroponics is the fastest way to grow... Dont really have any personal experience to go by so I will be scribed this one watching for answers with you.

Awesome. I want to get to the bottom of this and figure out what the pros are using!

I've seen big drip systems made out of gutters filled with hydroton and clones put in rooted in rwool. Some larger aeroponic stuff but im not convinced yet. Like i said im goin all out!! Lets see some pics of huge systems, details about yield, and how to build info.

Hi,
Just found the site and forum.
This forum looks like it could lift the heritage after overgrow.com, nice
I have a suggestion for a grow system/setup, that I find has huge advantages.
-= DWC (Deep Water Culture)=-
It might be slightly less efficient than aeroponics, but there are at least several advantages.
1. Less expensive to establish (though it's no issue here)
2. Less noisy
3. More reliable
4. Easyer to move around
5. Easyer to expand
6. More flexible
The 3. point gives you more freedom. You don't have to check on your garden every day to assure that the water jet pump is running. A malfunctioning jet pump could mean dissastor for a grow.
I had a defect airpump in my DWC once, and the whole garden went a week without air (I use a big centralized airpump for the whole garden), and it was no big problem. You can even go away for several days without worrying.
Also, you don't have to worry about leaky water hoses, cause alle the water is in the containers.
I have been down for a year now because we just have moved, but I'm starting up my garden again now. I'll take some pictures over the weekend to show how it works. I have just started a few weeks ago, so I don't even have a full scale flowering going on yet. Infact, the place we lived before, where I had the system setup the first time, I only went through one flowering cycle before we had to move . Even thoug I'm not an experinced grower, only used commercial organics liquid fertilizer (with som B'cuzz bloom added) and, as mentioned, the airpump went dead on me, I harvested 250g of beautiful stach from an old 400W HPS. I use ScROG cause I think it's the only sencibell way to grow. You can control alle the vegetation, and all of your budsites gets full light exposure.

One big advantage of aeroponics is that chainging water is easyer, witch gets an even bigger advantage when you have a huge grow going on. I use a submergable pump to empty my DWC (70 liters) containers, so thats not such big a hazzle.

vertical WOG (wall of green) is the way to go if your going for yield

Have you guys seen this?










The next is commercial's grow back at the start of the year












And a big soil grow




Pretty good set-ups take your pic. Anybody got anymore!

ya thats your typical aero grow... check this out its from another forum but a brilliant setup... Cannabis and Marijuana seeds :: HomeGrown420 - Heath gets the Vertical bug again! 1.5gpw from seed. i believe 80 site and 1200w from . Its probably capable of about 1.8 gpw from clones id imagine. its built by Heath Robinson the same guy who created black rose which is an amazing looking bud. I am in the process of building a replica that will support 99 sites and 2400w. I had started a thread bout it but took it down cuz i had to wait a few weeks before continuing.. ill be starting the thread again in the next few days

damn..i wish i had a whole room to grow in..im only growin in a cab..

Flojo that is flat out amazing. I love the way that system is built... Brilliant !

On second thought.... no... well ok I have a 2 car oversized garage that I could clean out to build something like this..
I'm all about light efficiency and vertical grows are very intriguing to me.

Whoa, those pics are cool. Good ideas. I really wanna see what you end up doing. You should try the WOG with all that space.

Yeah I know.. is that Wall Of Green

I sure would like to have a house where that walls were made out of Green!!

ill be starting up my thread again soon, i had to delay it due to some family issues but it will be up by next week. it is just like the one in that thread but im making it 2 feet longer and a little more dense with 90-99 sites instead of 80, starting with clones instead of seed, and will double the light to 4x600w hps. I will be also shooting for about 1.5 gpw as written in the thread.

if you look in the vertical grow section of that site another user built a 1200w version in a 4x4 area which hit about 1 gpw. also his nute schedule was not optomized. if he would have fed them correctly he easily could have achieved 1.3- 1.5 gpw

Sounds good. I'll be watching this thread to check on your progress.
Best of luck

you should look into rotational growing...this is a gi gro....

i have seen that machine before.. How many plants car you put in that thing and how many watts of light?

How much for one of those units too?

Igrowhydro you can check OmegaGarden.com - Omega Gardens™: Industry Leading Hydroponics Designs for Indoor Gardening for more information about their Volksgarden version - the one showen in the image posted by naturalhigh.

Have my self thought about it, seems really nice. Am just not sure that it actualy have the space for the plants, since some get rather big just b4 you harvest them...
and the price is kinda not nice either :S

Here's another interesting site to check if you want to go largerscale: pi-rack.nl

Click to expand...

stay away from omegas..there eb and flow and bulky..that in in the pic is a gi grow 240 with only 150 plants... The gi grow is a drip run to waste ( set it and forget it) wheel un like the omegas that have huge 70 gallon rezs and you have to check every 5 hours...
i have a 17 gallon res and that last 6 days befor i have to do anything...very simple...\

and as for price..you can find a 360 wheel for under 4 k...with lights and fans...that will pay for it self 7 fold...those can get 7 to 9 lbs a wheel... good luck..

Yeah thats a pretty good point with the price vs. the outcome.

For how long a period of time do you normaly have your plants in the "wheel" from the point where you put them there until you can harvest them?

Have you read Al B. Fuct thread on sea of green, harvest every two weeks https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/6592-get-harvest-every-2-weeks.html , Great info, and you could double the size of his setup, also add your own ideas, like light movers, as you have the room.
