how do you do that exactly?

On the back of your meter is 4 prongs. 2 are "line" sides and 2 are "load" sides. Where those prongs connect to the panel is where you "jump the phase". You would use wire between the line and load lugs. Your wires would jump vertically in 99% of panels. This is not only a big deal if you get caught, but can be deadly if you dont know what your doing. I dont suggest it.

if you dont have any idea, its probably not a good place to start lol.. Thats a lot of know how, a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of plants, and a big investment.. At least 15k

consider a beginner can get .5 gpw..that comes out to 1 lb per 1k watt so lets just start there.. And for ease of maintnence lets just say hydro.. Soil will be cheaper but more work and veg time involved

you will need

10 1000 watt ballasts and bulbs
a master controller to run them.. You can build em or buy em
10 air cooled hoods
ducting for said hoods
at least 2 8 inch fans to cool the hoods
all the mounts/hangers to hang the lights
5 4x8 tables (2kw per table)
5 115 gallon resies
5 pumps to run tables
5 timers (or 1 master controller)
5 sets of table fittings
nice ro filtration system
you will need a massive carbon filter and fan.. 12 or 14 inches for exhaust
you will need another 12 or 14 inch fan for your intake
ducting for lights, intake, and exhaust
a big ass dehumidifier
a big ass a/c
gallons and gallons of nutrients
bags of hydroton, or tons of rockwool blocks depending on grow media
plus tons of misc items such as meters, testers, netting, measuring cups, oscilating fans, pots, stakes, yoyos,

then assuming you do 16 plants per 1k, or 32 plants per 4x8 table you will need 160 plants.. You could do well over 100 plants per 4x8 table which would mean at least 500 plants

and this is the bare minimum for a hydroponic flowering cycle..

Then you have to maintain mothers which is more lights, more nutrients, more fans, more plants..

Again this is the bare minimum.. You can easily drop 20-30k on a nice system of this size

not only that then you have to have a secure place to run this kind of wattage, with this kind of space, expect to pay 1500-2000 dollars a month in electricity, plus water etc.etc.

Then plan on spending at least 2 hours on average per day, per table doing the pruning, moving, feeding, res changes and tests

then plan on probably 4-7 hours of trimming per pound depending on leaf/bud ratio and experience.

You might want to think about this kind of undertaking a tad bit more before you drop that kind of change without having a lot of experience..
good show!

I think anyone who told this guy what he needs is an idiot. People like that and threads like this are the reason these sites get shut down and investigated. You make this site look bad, like we're in it for the money and are big time drug dealers. If this idiot wants to post "how do i get 10lbs of pot every 8 weeks" let him, that makes him look bad and all eyes on him. Great, keeps eyes off me and the rest of us who are in this for fun, experimenting, medicine, or just little personal use. Who cares what other people do, because it's on them not you. I wouldnt of told him anything. If the man can type the man can READ. so go do some research. By the way he posted I can tell he is just ignorant. For all you know he is a narc trying to see if dumbasses on this site will encourage him and guide him into illegal activity. Just stupid. enough said. later!

Yes, let's see the USA raid THE NETHERLANDS for a server to a website that effectively serves 1/4 of the USA, by way of states that allow medical marijuana.

Go back and read the Constitution again, and then go read EVERY RELEVANT TREATY we signed for the past 200 years. Come back when you're done.

Honestly I could give a shit about the Netherlands. Im in the United Sates. So your rules I could care less about. Im not turning this into a flame war lmao. But Yea, states here have medical marijuana. But federally no matter what it's still not legal. Hopefully one day it will be, but until then here in the US it's not legal in any way according to our federal government. And im sure this thread starter lives in the US. /

:peace:

Umm, I'm in the USA, thank you. I also apparently know more about certain treaties that pretty much guarantee this server's safety. But then again Info. Tech. is my job field so I do have to know these things in order to stay useful in the GLOBAL market.

They can't touch the RIU server and get IPs unless they violate some treaties. Treaty violations usually bring about some nasty results.

here is the secret to all your answers with minimum risk and money.. just call me daddy after this.. kiss-ass
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz3yaOPAYCc copy n paste that in url..
check that out.. 12 ounces of one plant after dried n cured with little trim..=) everyone else in here is rooks or just the chrondizzle got them paranoid. Getting caught is the draw of the cards dealt to you.. meant to be is meant to be. you digg. but forealz growing involves a lot of knowledge and few trial n error...just giving u heads up its not just about watering a plant, theres more shitt to it.. youll come across stuff like bugs, pest, plant diseases, hermie plants, stress level of the plant and so on, its just butt loads of lil small stuff adds up to growin some cronic.. so study up.. keep me posted on your grow...






-step your game up!:peace:

wow idk if you cant figure out how to grow 10 lbs every 8 weeks with no budget... then you should rethink your thinking and you probably have no business on this forum.. nor growing in general cus your most likely to get yourself caught...start with a 250 hps and a emilys garden and go from there....going from nill to huge is a baddd idea....start small then work your way up or you will not learn what u need to know

Haha nice post.

I think author of this left a long time ago, maybe to three free meals a day or to one guys sister in a broken down old benz or pushing shit weed to middle schoolers.

At least he can roll a joint where ever he is at, even if he has just learned.

Great Read.

youd literally need a warehouse not a room... comeback and ask me what you need when you have about 20 thousand dollars to spend... if you dont know...... you shouldnt be growing it

Holy shit you guys really ripped this kid a new one! Berating the kid for having big ambitions. Look bud what you want to accomplish is absolutely do-able. Assuming he did have the resources to set up a system such as this, The BARE minimum would be neccessary to accomplish what you want:

1. the MOST important thing is a PROVEN COMMERCIAL STRAIN. Chronic, Heavy Duty Fruity, Power plant. Just a few suggestions.

2. MINIMUM 5 1k lights for flowering
2-5 1k lights for preveg/veg
1-2 1k lights for mothers
& timers and power cords for each.
(Power bill will be atleast $1000, maybe even around $2000)


3. Youll want to do SOG, seeing as you want a quick turn around (8 weeks you said). 100 plants per light or so with a maximum of a week veg time. 3 Liter - 1 gallon pots in soil or big hyrdo tables (which would be the most practical). Enough grow medium to fill whatever system you choose. Remember all the pumps, fittings, grommets that you will need for whichever system you choose.

4. Heavy Duty A/C minimum would be a 28,000 BTU Central. Just so you know it takes roughly 3500BTU to cool 1 1k watt light.

5. Serious ventilation, or a medium to large sized co2 generator, monitor, controller.

6. approx 300 gallon res (give or take depending on particular setup) and good nutrients to fill it. Canna, H&G, Advanced would be my reccomendations. Also a circulation pump or airstone.

7. Obviously a PH/PPM/EC Meter

These are the things you would DEFINETLY need above. Below are some things you will PROBABLY need.

1. Humidifier/Dehumidifier
2. Master controller for the lights (this would require installing new breakers and larger fuses)
3. Mylar & IR Light blocking film (your house will light up like the sun on FLIR)
4. Large Carbon filter and/or Ozone Gen
5. Air/Water cooled hoods
6. About 4 EzCloner 120's =P
7. R/O Machine, 300gal/day

i'm SURE i forgot a couple of things but these are most of the bare neccessities. Remember this setup will require a large grow space, atleast 150 square feet, more realistically 300 sq feet, maybe even upwards of 500. A master grower with the right genetics could theoretically achieve this goal with less than 125 sq feet. Also, a system of this magnitude would probably carry somewhere around $5000/month in overhead at the bare minimum, and around $25k start up. Thats the conservative estimate :-|.

If i was you, i'd go 5 5x5 flood tables under 5 1k lights, 4 plants/square foot. 3 weeks to root clones, 1 week veg, then straight to flower. 1 month into flowering, take 500 cuttings and use your veg room to prep them for the flowering room. 1 month later you'll be harvesting and moving in the fresh clones that are already vegged ready to go!

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRR... Get yourself 3 colliseums and your in the game. Use a little less electricity.

BTW, your looking to harvest every 8 weeks so i would reccomend a plant with atleast 50% Indica genes in order to keep the flowering time down. Good luck buddy. Lemme know if your actually serious about setting this up i'd love to help seeing as i cant grow anything myself right now :cry:. I guess helping others is the next best thing :hump:

you guys are acting like 10 pounds every 8 weeks is impossible, its hella possible....


It all depends on which system you use, and how much time you put in.
