Hey there wheezer. I am considering a grow of this size come next season. Was wonderinf what the approx running costs where if u don't mind sharing. 260 yards ammended soil is a lot with the 20 truck looads of ammendments(what where they?) And such. Just trying to get an rough idea on what I am getting myself into. Thanks

then propert owner bought it all, but it was 35 bucks a yard for the soil, so 35 x 260=almost 10 grand and I went through at least $2000.00 in ammendments. wire for the bottm of the rows was 75 bucks a roll and we had 20 rolls so it was 13 grand or so to just get started. Not to mention tractor work, fencing, hoses, barrels, irrigation parts.....it was a job!

I have my ammendment list in one of my other threads somewhere, it's been changing a little but not much. I think I have it in my indoor thread, you'll have to find it in indoor section, it's not in my sig. I do reuse my soil, I re-compost it first, but I use it under my grow bags, which I've been using the last couple years now. I'm not growing in this spot anymore. The 150 gallon bags you are using will get your plants this big, if they get enough light and water...they'll grow the roots right through to the ground if you have good soil under em'. check my big 6 grow in my sig....it's in 200 gallon bags and I think my list is there too.

This is the soil i can get in cu yards coco pumic peat base with organic compost worm castings organic fertilizer and micro nutrients, does that sound good and should i use some amendments in that. I was thinking of putting around 5 cups of diff amendments per 50 gallon trash can of dirt it takes 3 trash cans to fill one pot. How much water should i be useing a day in these pots too. Thanks for the feedback i will so search your ratio and amendments thread

It liosts on one web site for 1499.00, but I have heard from a couple grow shops that shipping was getting tough. They were having a hard time getting them, so I don't know, but I got this one for 16+ tax. I bought 2 the same day, it was 3600.oo and some change. They are listed retail at 2200.00
that's alot of money and space it uses...we rigged up a contraption to the hamsters wheel..it's kinda reliable and funny as hell ...lol
