20,000 Watt Medical Grow Op Construction

Here in Cali we have to be very careful about just growing anything. Right now, it's a Kush market. I can list 20 killer strains that would out yield my Bubbas 2 to1, but I could also find myself stacking up meds with nowhere to go. Any new strains preferably come from a grower I know and can test the finished product. Any new strains coming from seed must be grown and highgraded, and maybe I get one that will be good enough. That takes up plants numbers. Numbers I don't have. I may work in a new strain, but it's a long precess. I have big hopes for the Laughgani since we have a dispensary begging for it.

I am interested in the Ultimate, but haven't actually had some in my hand. I can't use plant numbers for any bud not top 1%. I may just order up some Ultimate, though. Thanks for reminding me it's out there.
I dont like most Kushes Yields. Original Bubba yields are terrible, great smoke but terrible yields. Master Kush is pretty good yielder but hard to clone prone to PM. I have a Banana Kush that has HUGE colas and smells very dank. I am finishing some up as we speak. Look into Cheese. Would be great for SCROG or LST. Also Green Crack. Most mine are shorter high yielding plants but both of those can give you 2 lbs per light easy and have great smell/bag appeal. I'll try to think of some others.

So, Helper D and I took a drive down to a dispensary to check out their Bubba and Og. Helper D picked up a gram of each one for $28 per gram! I bought Helper D an 1/8th of Super Silver Haze cause he's never tried a Haze. First off, the Bubba is about 5 steps below ours. I was thrilled. This was a fact finding mission and the fact is we were very VERY lucky to have generous commercial growing friends willing to donate their best strains to our collective. Then...this is great...Helper D fires up a bowl of the OG and there's 2 big fuckin ants in the bud! We dig through all the stash and find a dog hair, 3 more ants, and a dash of PM I confirmed with the 60X scope. And, no readily visable crystals. So, this is the competition. I was going to bring them a sample of our Bubba, but now don't even want our stash associated with the place. BTW, this is no Ghetto pot shop...this was in Malibu! $28/gram!
Thats insane... I get $28 an eighth on the stuff attached, 8 dollars a gram on an oz.

I get this stuff from probably your area :lol:


*tisk tisk* dispensaries!

Any pics of this $28 a gram?


ps: helper d is a fortunate fellow to be learning in person from you, i feel lucky to have stumbled upon the thread in the beginning!

*$28/gram* and the REST of the dispensaries haven't laughed them out of existence yet??
what the hell is going on in the states??
maybe that's why dispensaries haven't taken off here. there is a prevailing idea that cannabis should be *more accessible to the people who use it medicinally, not less. with all the competent growers about, i don't know a single medicard holder (and i know dozens) that would be rather pay triple the street price than give the same amount of $$ to a friend to grow it for them. the only people i know that go to disps don't have the space or wherewithal to start their own show, but they live right downtown where space and privacy are hot, unavailable commodities. (not that that stopped me, back in the day ;)) shit, you could start yourself a swank 2banger for the price of a couple ounces. tbh i don't know what they're charging at either of our disps here now but i bet it ain't *that.

Yeah, I've seen your yields a few times. Pretty impressive. I like your Casey Jones. Is this right? Or am I thinking of someone else?
I just hate starting from seeds. We need one or 2 different plants that are bigger yielders, but hate the high grading poreocess. Also, I have to produce X amount of Bubba and Lav for commitments on that end. I'd love to hear more about your genetics source. Maybe via PM.
 
Kitty,

Some people dont know how or want to grow. Do you pay retail for food from your supermarket or do you grow/farm you own food? Same difference.

Nice grow, bro. I have a very similar setup in Cali in a warehouse. Thanks for the info on this grow it has helped me a lot.
 
Ive had problems growing bubbas too. Low yields and prone to PM as well.

But love to smoke it and its hybrids.

On another note plan to post a thread for my commercial grow too CG, really appreciate people like you spreading the knowledge around.

Be sure to post the link to your thread right here. We have plenty of warehouse grow fans hanging around these parts. There's also some real talent hanging around here.

no doubt i'm a spoiled bc-ite; i've made a mental note to check out what the local disps are charging but the last time 'dispensary' prices hit the 20s here they got laughed out of existence. we have entire townships here where 1 in 3 rentals has a grow in it; "supply" isn't often an issue, whereas "greed" quite often is.
personally, especially considering the quality of product is probably the same here, you wouldn't catch me paying $30/lb for broccoli at the grocery store when i could buy it off the street for $10, either.

Have you got an electric bill yet? I love this thread. +reps dude

What's the deal with all the buzz kill questions:

"worried about DEA"..."what's the electrical bill"...wtf?

Of course I'm worried.

If you're that interested in my electrical bill, you can easily figure it out. I pay .15/KWH. That's 15 cents per kilowatt hr. All the information you need is on the thread to calulate my electrical bill.

Just ignore the silly questions ;)

I'm going to check my plants CG, they are popping out pistils on day 9 flower here ;)

YO collective.. your grow is looking good man. I thought your plants looked great for having to be around all of the work going down in the shop! I know what you mean when you say it's hard to build/work around them when they're bigger. Feels like you're constantly looking for a child running around that you're going to hurt, even though it's a stationary plant.. hahaha!

Now iffin' ya get a good sized warehouse grow going, completely legitimate (with the Fire Department, everything), all permits, etc. You need to outfit THAT warehouse with a SUNROOF!!!

So you get that donated lighting yet??? Really eager to see the results!!!!
The lights are sitting here in a box. I just need to get some time together to set up a little table to conduct the test on. I don't want to just slap something together. It should be a good test do that we can all make a sound decision. I'll say this: After getting the lights I started really checking out the inductive lighting thing. I believe we may finally have a replacement for HID. If I were running Sog or Scrog settup I would be getting a couple big lights right now. I'm just not quite sold on the penetration yet.
