With all due respect, what do you define as commercial grade. Is that better or worse than connoisseur grade?

He probably means that the equipment and lighting are all set up to neat and out of the way. The heating, cooling, etc are all dialed in perfectly all of the time.. Basically, there are no missing pieces that hobbyists sometimes endure..
That's part of what makes it commercial.. Much the same way as a commercial kitchen is full of badass gear and different surfaces and fixtures than a home kitchen, so too is a commercial grow..

I think the plants in this set up will be connoisseur quality because the outcome of a perfect setup is perfect weed, which is connoisseur quality.
that is my opinion, of course.

Thanks tommy. Like I said, no disrespect, just looking for clarification, and that makes good sense to me.

Im curious what kind of heat your room is getting to with those 4 air cooled 1000's as im doing something very similar.Is the a/c running constantly?what size a/c?I take it your cooling the hoods with outside air,what temps do you usually have in your area?nice setup,im keeping my eye on this one.

I run about 4000 watts without air cooling (the only air icould pull was attic, and that doesn't do much cooling). 3500BTU of cooling per 1000 watt uncooled bulb is the standard.

That is correct, You run 3500 BTU's per 1000W uncooled light. As you can see in the first pictures I put up of my flowering room I ran my ducting from my light to the lowest point of the room, also taking fresh air from outside. the blowing outside my room directly onto my ballasts. makes since to cool all you can with less equipment. Work smarter not harder.

The temp depends on which strain your growing. usally Kush/ Stativa likes to run a little higher like around 85 or so. But Indica likes to be colder around 72-75. Just like a snake or a polor bear. some like it cold some like it hot just depends on who your taking care of.

Looks just great.
Can you come over my house and build me one just like it? JK
But I was wondering if you think one CO2 generator will be enough to bring those PPMs up? Or did u have two?
I'm sorry I didn't read the specs. Is that a Cap generator? I have one. They're grrrrrreeattttt
