I'll save the 600s for my house and test them out I was just curious if anyone was producing weight with 600s. I have one friend who hits 2# per light with his but he wants to be paid to share. He's a good friend and I understand where hes coming from but yeah it sucks he won't share his secret. I might not be gusnanteed a job but this will get me another step closer. We have two years in Ca left to make big moves. I'm making mine and doing it right. Two peeps 10 hours a day should be no prob. If I need more I can get them I just don't want to yet. We will see how it rides and I will hire as I need. My evolution will continue. From 40 will come 100 then 250 and then you will all be smoking my shit. Hope you love it. I do.
Best of luck to ya, it can be done! All it takes is a lot of hard work and dedication.
48 lights is def manageable with 2 people, unless you don't have your system dialed in....
Off the top of my head I can recommend....
Soil/coco beds for better root growth and more even watering...
Only 1 layer of trellis netting.....it takes too long to chop rows of 3 deep layer trellis on 6 foot plants on this level. One layer for the initial scrog, then stakes and yoyos.
Growing is easy it's all the maintenance, trash, and cleaning that takes me forever at my lab.
lol you guys are funny. I got plenty of skills Im just a scientist who always experimenting. Im running a 10 light and a 26 light op now and have been on the rise since 2002. This shits a joke my system will be dope. 4 12 light flower rooms one mother room a trim room and a dry room. Its going to be just me and my buddy that grows to. The best part is Ill never have to trim a single nug again. It gets done off site by my co-ops members. Its true 48 lights is a different beast then 10 or 26 lights but we will have it under control with the 4 separate rooms. We will harvest one room every 24 days. 12 lights over 6 4x8 coco beds per room, fertigation system and almost 20 tons of AC. Waiting on a few peeps and we should start the search for the warehouse. My buddy already has a few spots in mind with no fire inspection. So now we just need the investors to check the numbers and write the check. In the future only people with warehouse size experience will get jobs in the MJ industry. Im just planning for the future.
Why on earth would you trim off site, but still opt for a "trim room"?
I would highly suggest conforming to prop "d" regulations and California law that limits the radius you can be from a school, church, daycare, AA/NA treatment, park, etc..
Make sure you bring your electrician to the site you plan on renting so he can check the panel so you know if you will need an expensive, permitted upgrade.
Good luck.
@Capulator we will be trimming fans and hanging to dry. the unfinished nugs will be put into buckets and taken elsewhere. We still need a smell proof area with climate control to do this. Good advice on the city/panel and pro D. I really want to do a 600 watt grow instead of 1000s but maybe a 48 light grow is not the place to do that. It turns into an 80 light grow. Same wattage just a better spread. Damn I wish I had tried this out in the last few years now I dont have time to set up a new experiment room.
The old co-op of 5 growers that I ran; four of us had a seperate location for post harvest activities, myself included. But we had a private gated alley and roll up door so it was easy loading up. But it was a dangerous drive. Trash bags was my method. Chop and dump into the bag, the entire tree. If it was to big, cut it in half. The odor lingered for a few car lengths. Dressed in a suit and tie so I didn't look the part.
Most important room at my place... Dry and cure room. Has it's own AC, dehu, and humidifier. Hard wood panels walls. Ozone and charcoal. Why grow it for 4 months if you can't finish it right.
Anybody have any numbers on total cost to build at their warehouse grow? How many lights? Ive never hired a contractor to build a room Ive always done it myself. What do you think an electrician would charge for the whole project? Framer? AC guy? I have my parts list I just do know how much to allocate for doing the actual build just the materials. Any previous numbers would be a big help. Im just looking for a realistic ballpark. We are already up to 50k in materials and thats just lights, trays, and AC. Thanks guys!
