10,000 Watt Grow.........

riznob10000 · #1 08-20-2009, 12:02 PM

What up everyone!!!

Okay, so I started a thread related to this in the Growroom Design & Setup, but since it's all starting to come together, I figured I'd start a new thread here in the Indoor forum to document the whole thing.

Thank's to everyone that visited my other thread!!

So, we're gonna be runnin 10,000 watts of HPS, Co2, A/C, probably goin with Canna products now instead of A.N.

We're doin around 30 plants, 3 plants per 3x3 tray, 10 gallon Smart Pots, Roots Organic soil mix.

We're runnin water through a Stealth R/O filter into two 50 gallon drums. We'll probably use a pump and wand and water by hand initially. I don't really have the time, resources, or inclination to go fully automated at this point, but that will probably be the plan for future crops.

The growing space has been framed in at 13.5'W x 28'L x 12'H. OSB outer walls, sheetrock inner walls covered with panda paper.

The room will essentially be sealed. No fresh air in, just venting the hoods. Temps will ( hopefully ) be maintained by two 14,000 BTU portable dual-hose A/C units.

Co2 will be supplied by a Hydrogen 2nd generation water-cooled generator. There's a ppm monitor that is made for the Hydrogen, so it will either be that, or a CAPS ppm monitor maintaining levels.

All the lights will be running off 220 volt, everything else 110 volt. We put in a new service panel with one 50 amp breaker and one 30 amp breaker, both @ 220 volt, and two more 20 amp breakers @ 110 volt, to go with the 3 existing 20 amp 110 volt breakers already in place. So I think we'll be fine on power!!

Odor will be controlled by a Can-filter 150 runnin with a 12" Max-fan.

We'll be runnin a local dank strain to start out with, then we'll probably pop up to Van., B.C. to pick up some select strains for future runs.

Any suggestions on a good indoor high-yield, but also high quality strain?

I know everything isn't gonna be perfect, and there are gonna be numerous upgrades and tweakin this and that, but over time I hope to have this shit runnin like clockwork. Whoop!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My goal is to have some shit like Mblaze, and hopefully pull an elbow + per plant. So that means probably a 4 month cycle. 6-8 weeks of veg to get 'em nice and big, and about the same for flowering.

So, this will be my humble attempt to supply myself and a few others with top quality meds.

Wish me luck my friends!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yeah, i just gotta warn ya, I love takin pictures, so there will be a shitload of them as this project moves along!!!!

Also, just in case someone catches it, yeah, I know the sheetrock isn't hung " properly ". My friend got a little over-zealous and started hangin and bangin while my back was turned!!! Whatever, it'll be fine, especially since we're just coverin it with panda paper.

Just tryin to forestall any of the people that just like to criticize and pick out little shit!! You know the people I'm talkin about!!!! I respect their opinions, as long as they're kept to themselves!!!! Hahaha

That is some nice stuff.I personally use Lumatek,and you wont be disappointed.As for the strains,to each their own.It's really up to you,but White Rhino puts up a ggod yield,and is some strong shit,but again,it's all personal when it comes to strains.I like the White strains the best,then the blue/purples.

Looks like this room is going to be TITTIES! +rep and good luck!

BTW - Drywall looks fine! Except obviously what hasn't been taped yet. Boy do I NOT miss doing that everyday...

Few questions why are you going to run so much extra light for this particular grow? Each tray being a 3x3 tray with 3 plants means plant size wont be huge like Mblaze but larger then usualy but can easily be covered by a 600 watt light on each with very similar results with good reflectors and that would cut down almost 4000 watts of light usage. or you could line these tables up in rows of 2 edge to edge in 5rows and run 5 light movers holding 2 600 watt lights in tandem so each set gets 1200 watts of light meaning only 6000 watts used or better yet 2 light rails for each row of 2 tables moving in oppsoite directions with 600 watters still using only 6000 total watts with 1200 watts per double table setup? Id also not use the RO water unless you plain on ading extra ph buffers to the solution as the ph will flux alot more with the ro water then non ro or distilled water. I would also suggest more then one scrubber for this size area.

Thank's LG. It was either Next Gen ballasts or the Lumateks, but I'm glad now to hear that they work fine for you!! I like the 3 year across the board warranty, + 2 years prorated after that.

And I'll definately consider some White's; I've always liked 'em too! We'll probably keep a number of strains on tap, and just do whole runs of one strain, for continuity.

Thank's bro!!

On the drywall, i just meant that it wasn't hung horizontally, with staggered seams. That's all!!!
