I have one very good advice for you: Find a setup that you think is best and stick to it. Because often listening to different people will make you be unsure of yourself and change your mind every day and loose time.
Well simply because ive never done a grow of this size and obviously am not sure what methods work best. I never faked experience, if i did i wouldnt be asking these questions. If you dont have any helpful info then go waste your time somewhere else. Oh and this isnt a basement grow, its a warehouse which is ALOT different. So if anyone with expierience in commercial grows has any info, i would love to hear it. I just love hearing other peoples ideas and setups they created.
Nothing has happened yet, its a waiting game right now to get the right spot. I will let you know when i find out more details.@SCorganictroth831 So? what did you end up doing?
@Marijuannoisseur How do you fill/drain all those reservoirs?Independently, one a time? Or you just have one HUGE reservoir for mixing and then just fill them up? And is there a 2nd pump in each just for the drain ? :(unlikely)
You and me both my friend
You're right, and re-reading I see my tone was more aggressive than intended. I apologize. I just down want to see any other enthusiasts get burned, in this case likely financially, by jumping scale without a rock-solid gameplan. But I guess that's why you're asking. So my bad.
please let me know of your decision, to be honest I have never dealt with grows this size as well. I did see half the size. 2 rooms, coco, AC, hand watered. Not really much to tell. Would love to find out what you think and the pros/cons of a setup this size. Hope it works out for you.
Room layout idea...
can you elaborate on that one? I just don't get where would it go
Each tray will need a tank under it...all tanks would connect to each other and drain into a final holding tank where the water would be sucked out of and back into the supply tank.
I see now. This could really work
Good idea to filter the return water
trying to figure out a way to connect the tanks so they all drain in the final holding tank
4x4=36? Filling a 4x4 tray gives each plant a potential 8cubic/foot root volume. Separate pots is much, much less. Two lights over a 4x8 will work, might want to use 600's instead of 1000's.
PVC pipe with tee'strying to figure out a way to connect the tanks so they all drain in the final holding tank
would using heat pumps have a specific advantage compared to using AC unit?
Great info fandango, do you think 2 gallon pots will be big enough? I was thinking about 3 gallons? Also thought of using two reservoirs one for supplementing with fresh ro water to keep the mixing tank full at all times. Dicided to go with DTW so i wont need to circulate the water back to the res.
Did you see bluelab? they have a wide variety of products and have good reviews
I recommend using controllers from Link4Corp, the iGrow controllers are very reliable, I've installed over 20 of them and not one issue, programming is a bit tricky, but not that bad.
