I wouldn’t run a green house ,
And wouldn’t have it setup the way they have it.

I only run big plants because I have a count
If I had a micro lic , SOG/vert .
Growing stock isn’t a good business plain.

Good luck
These aren’t your typical greenhouses. Think of a sealed indoor grow room with a glass roof. Energy efficient and insulated, with a type of geothermal heat and cool.(climate batt.). There’s no getting away from HID in our climate, lights aren’t going anywhere. But if I can use the sun on top of my DE,s for a full spectrum.....look out.

What about the 12/12
I know for the most part , I don’t have 12/12
All summer it’s like 16hours , all they want to do is veg n veg . Would need black outs
Things start getting more complex....

I also see a big problem with $1600 a p
I have grown some plants that the yeild is crazy , but it’s not that good.
When I pheno hunt , the best yeilding pheno has never once been the best smoke.
Where is the incentive to grow AAA when I can get 30% more yeild with a less appealing bud?
Just another thing to think of .

What Quest model is that?
I beam drain is a bit heavy duty

"enough" leds can suffice for heat in northern climates especially with the "stacking" method you mentioned..

drver heat can be sent anywhere

but like in this photo..HID is ok ..wha?

here is the big plant method..thats 1/3 of a plant of chemd..

My veg room would look similar, tiered with LED. Not a fan of the blurple lights,or the $50+ sqft for the racking. Was quoted $40k to do 1 room with similar rolling racking.
Nice setup thou.

until an employee falls off the ladder tending to the upper tier...good idea to save space but not practical IMO.

now theres some math I can handle right now...lol
No argument a vertical arrangement would increase growing space but it brings a lot of complications with it...securing the plant and watering are the first two that pop in my mind. Might work for small leafy greens but toss cannabis in there and its a different story.

LOL have you see the cost of those vertical systems. Way cheaper to just get some PVC round or square and some filter media. Besides you gonna spend lots of money cooling the water as when the water goes through the tubes I'll heat up from the ambient temps.

Yikes!.....my inbox is flooded. Just to reiterate, this project is in its infancy, don’t go quilting your day job just yet. This project will take months and months to get off the ground. Currently way more questions than I have answers, I appreciate the input. Like I said previously, we are looking for experts in their craft, if your an LED guy or greenhouse guy or traditional indoor guy, there will be a model for you to excell in. As far as compensation that’s yet to be determined, I do not have a crystal ball. To me $1600 is a fair price and makes everybody a profit. STOP trying to negotiate for more. To be clear! I’m not the investor, my take in this would be the same as yours, I’m just facilitating a plan for the investors. I am happy to discuss and try to answer any question, but some question are impossible to answer at this time. All questions are valid and with the brain power here maybe we can come to some conclusions on how this plan can be successful. I’m outie for the weekend, will try and get through my inbox early next week. Cheers.

Itsme.
