the perfect 10x10 grow room

[wanna be stanky]

wondering what the perfect setup would be for a 10 x 10 grow room keeping the electric cost down while being able to harvest every 60 days . using soil.....any thoughts ??????

if you want to grow in a 10 by 10 space its not gonna be cheap, and your electrical bill will be through the roof

I grow in a 12 by 12 space. I have 4 1000w hps in 6x6 squares with 4 400w hps between them and a 600w hps in the middle. This is considered "adequet lighting" lol. My electric bill between my lights and venting system went up almost 600 a month. Our electric company just increased there rates 50% as well (great news! lmao). Theres no cheap way to do it. If you dont have the money to do it right off the bat do what I did. Get your ventalation good to go. Start with a 1000w hps. Then buy another 1000w hps every week (i get paid everyweek thats how it worked out for mem I already had the rest of my supplies from a previous grow) Buy the time your plants make it into the last rotation phase you will be set to harvest for your first time! Worked for me.. By the way I do SOG.

how do you get away whith having 6200wats of lights???

 

[tm21thc]

Yes! That kind of interesting!
Anyway If u using the ledgrowlights NOT the ebay ledgrowlights!
Getting like 30 RED light each 10W and 20 BLUE what is 5W each the overall lightsource gona be 400W!!!! Of course this setup is cost more in the first!
But you dont have to buy each year a new bulb or a ballast....

You pay your electric bill. I also have a big shop that I work on my trucks in. Noone really cares where I live. I live in a pretty country area with a lot of hicks (im pretty close to them but not quite there lol) The only things to do up here are play videogames, have sex with your girlfried or wife, play with the kids, or go offroading. Its fun though cause you can do a lot of fun things you dont get to do in other places. Let me put it this way... The closest real mall is an hour and a half drive lmao. Its really funny actually.

Word on the street is LEDS suck, I got proved this in another forum.... Oh and my post above was to you Prime, Not being mean I just forgot to put the quote thingy in.

Keep it lit baby

 

[tm21thc]

Led sucks??? Yes some of them!!!
But not this one!!!

IDK man looks a little in efficent for a commercial grow like this guy is talking about. Or even for what I do. Seems a little farfetched for me right now. But maybe in the futre when prices come down some!

split the room in half one bud room one veg room. two 400w HPS FOR FLOWERING. two 250w blue spectrum bulbs for veg (save electricity) 4 16in ocilating fans . 3 gallon pots. perlite . muti purpose compost for lightness and cheapness . paint the room white . ventalate the room as well as possable without letting any light in. that is the most basic and economicly viable method possable. if done right you should still get world class buds. BEST OF LUCK!!!!!!!

 

[wanna be stanky]

dude " thats alot of fire power " for one room isnt it ? with all those lights do your plants grow faster with larger yields to compensate for 1200.00 electric bill for 60 day grow ???? thanks 420

two 250w metal halides they've got the blue spectrum for VEG growth. and you'd be saving 300w of power during the veg process.

I would like to add my two sence. If you can aford it I would sugest going with 600w hps for flowering. Also I no i read some were on here how you can buy this device and hook it up between the ballast and light that will change the power to another socket. If you devide the flower rooms then you could essentialy run one 600w hps ballast and have two grows. This will work for your 400 if you go that route. I belive this was in one of KPs threads. Let me take a look real quick and see if i can find it.
Side note: If you are looking for the perfect setup then you will deffinately need CO2 supplemented.
