I have attempted a 2 light grow that was prematurely shut down due to reasons beyond my control. I was well into the flower stage when that happened. Sucked pretty bad. I then started another grow learning from a friend. Got the clones from him and he gave me alot of base knowledge. Soil grow. He eventually moved away and I completed the 4000w grow on my own it netted about a little under 2 pounds of good bud. Never attempted anything of this magnitude though. It's amazing how just the size of the grow alone changes everything.
Understood. I know that it is about the pitfalls and short comings of residential space. I was laying out what I was asked to do by my friend and because I had never done anything this large I wanted to ask the pros what they thought of the parameters and what they would do as a alternative to this or if this was possible what are some of the things they would do. I wasn't setting out to give the industry a bad name or anything of that nature. I'm glad everyone is responding now with some options because that's what I'm looking for input and some options. I would hate to have to tell my bud "Hey man this can't be done" without at least having some options of what CAN be done. I do have some experience though so I wouldn't be uncomfortable expending a bit. I understand that growing is a labor of love and gets enough negative attention without people doing stupid things and burning down property when all they had to do is educate themselves and do things the smart way. I do understand your passion and appreciate the input.
Yes Hiboy trimming is a bitch. I did it myself then but my partner will be help out this time. So I'm thinking of taking Motherlodes advice here and stagering the rooms starting one then 2 or 3 weeks later starting the other. Hiboy will this still require an upgrade to my service if I run from 10 to 12 lights instead as Motherlode suggested. I also need to find out what the amperage the space is. Newer residential is 200A older houses are 100A?? I know the house had some recent upgrades from the old wiring so we might be looking at 200A. So whatever is usable after whatever is being used for daily living.
I can PM you the apartment electrical specs if you don't mind.
Ok Ill get back to you soon with that info. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Electric seems to be my biggest hurdle to get this done even on a smaller level.
