New Grow Plans

Hi everyone I have been retired from the plant care business for maybe 3 years now due to the harsh laws where I live, but I got the itch again & a pretty sick place to grow again plus I have alot of people who I supply medcine too so decided to grow again instead of dealing with unknowns to supply them. Please feel free to post & questions or comment as they are truly welcomed. This is what I plan on doing.My Best Friend just purchased a duplex about 5 months ago which he is living on onside with his family & he is renting the other 2 bed/1 bath side to me. This place is on about 2 acres of land I wouldnt say country but def not suburs. either. The plan is below.

95 - Nirvana Mango From Seedlings for 1 month in 2 gallon pots hydroton or grow stones which ever is cheaper Under four 1,000 watters light 24hr cycle.

Then I will be flowering them under seven 1,000 watters

I will be using a drip system

My Nuts will be dutchmaster gold line with all their supp. & drip clean.

One 10,000 btu & one 14,000 btu portable a/c's

Ona 5 gallon pail with breeze fan for odor

I have a few questions

Both units run on the same unit do you guys think I will have problems I'm estimating the bill to be around like 700's

I'm shooting for 4oz per plant what do you guys thinkIs anyone using dutchmaster nuts & are they adding anything other nuts.

I going to be running the drip system every 1/2 hour for 15 mins while lights are on does anyone have a cycle they think is better.

Looking forward to chat with all you guys thanks

I use this to calculate my electric bill in advance. I used my bills to get an average of approx what I pay per kwh. Here it is about $0.13/kwh.

I've never run a drip system myself, so can't comment on the timing.

In regard to yield per plant, that is always way harder for me to judge, I always try to shoot for a gram/watt type of scenario. It's a matter of getting the right amount of greenery to best fill the light footprint. I veg whatever number of plants I happen to be running to fit my existing light layout, not the other way around.

In regards to the ONA bucket, I would consider ONA only supplimental. In a 4000w grow, a 750 CFM Activated carbon filter should do the job well, for a 4000w grow to be on the safe side, I would get a 1k+ CFM filter, and either a smaller fan, or an adequate fan with speed control, so I could dial in the amount of odor control needed based on what stage the plants were in to extend the life of the filter. a PhatFilter branded filter 10" 1000+ CFM is about $240, with discounts or online closer to $200. A Phresh branded comparable filter would be twice that. Should last over a year if managed as I described.

Roidrage thanks for the the reply just checked my bill from power company & saw that they charge .10 per kwh after the first 1,000 here in florida
