10000 square foot Grow!

**K11ng** · 06-01-2011, 08:14 PM

Ok well I'm sure the title has got your attention and i just had a few questions on the best way to fulfill a 10000 sq/ft facility?

Basically I'm gonna keep it short and simple and hope all of you knowledgeable ppl can give me some great ideas.

I have set up some investors to do a facility in Colorado and my job is to give them a blue print of the grow setup. I have ideas of where I'm gonna go with it and have a few mentors in as well , but i would love to hear some of your guys ideas.

I have 6 rooms of a total of 10000 sq/ft.
I have 230+ lights

obviously I'm looking to get maximum yield so with this in mind what would you consider the best scenario for this facility scenario?

questions for best possible way to run this size facility:
how many plants per light?
how big should the pots be?
should i use coco/perlite? soil?
best way to feed this big of a grow?
should i consider a custom hydro system? ( leaning towards this way )

I am just looking for your guys opinions on how you would do it if you had this space?
any info is highly appreciated.

230+ is not a typo? I was thinking 23 was a lot lol. That is way to large scale for me O.o like a multimillion dollar project with such a high chance of being caught it's crazy. Again, I will give you any advice I can because this is intense!

How many hands do you have? If you have a small group of dedicated people, you can pull off a soil grow. and if you are up to the work, you can mix a few thousand gallons of subcools super soil :P As far as how many plants per light, I have no idea but the more light they have the faster they will grow. You also have to think about keeping everything cool and at the perfect humidity. and generating co2 for the whole grow. Have you done a small grow first? I would recommend this greatly

Our concerns are not being caught , its making the facility run efficiently. We have a team of lawyers to deal with law enforcment. The state of colorado allows us to do so and as far as the other guyes well they have to go thru obama first and by that time ill have jonny cokran on speeddial

Yes i have a experience with my personal grow. Im running a perpetual grow ebb and flow. The thing is i am running leds and all my experience and knowledge is based on my specific grow which is not to common, for example i use glass marbles as my medium!
So im actually looking for advice from you guyes who know hids, soil, and more commercial grow knowledge. I was thinking a soil grow with a custom hydroponic feed system? I need some advice lot of ideas floating around.
