How many plants are you running with your 2400 watts to hit those numbers and how long did you have to veg? I have a room with 2400 watts right now :)
Yikes! I wish I didn't just add up what i've spent so far... Shit adds up quick
I spend between $7500-$10,000 every couple of months now and it has gotten worse now that I track all my reciepts, close to 50k on the year so far and we have a few more weeks to go....ouch!!

You think you have an ouch bro......
5 different gardens, 21 - 3 ton a/c's, 168 - 1000 watt lights, 62 600 watt lights. 22 - 1/2 ton chillers..... on and on and on..... 500,000.00$.
bigtime ouch bro.

It sounds like your trying to put a Ferrari motor in a soap box derby car and that usually leads to dissappointment...
IMO these systems are not about compromise at all, especially if your looking for anywhere near the same results/success as others are having......I mean DDS spent $24k on his first trip to the grow store and then another $5-6k after that to get it dialed, they are running 3ton dedicated a/c's, in sealed rooms, and 18,000watts + in each space, definately not trying to just barely make the minimum requirements of the space. These sytems are about optimising every single aspect of the enviroment so that the plant can function at a super healthy excellerated pace, not any room for cutting corners or compromising to get close and still have the same expectations of success.
Although incredibly impressive, these systems are not for everybody IMO...
DDS, just curious, on the 10 plant 42 lb grow, what was the total cost of the setup exactly to your specs? everything down to the kitchen sink..

Once again, TK provides us with valuable words of wisdom :)
I think the appeal of the thread title, "A 42 Pound 10 plant tree grow" has got a lot of people dreaming :)
It's a HUGE freaking investment to do this right and you're so on point about skimping and expecting to be just as successful. It took DDS years just to get to this point! Nutes/additives for a single run could break the bank!
Not trying to throw a wet blanket on anybody or stiffle their enthusiasm, just trying to be realistic...
The planning stages for me would look more like..#1 - 12'x24' dedicated flower room, #2 - $20,000. cash, plus alot more coming quick and #3 - a spare 200amp service ready to go for everything to run off of....then I start planning the grow, but not before I have those three things in place.
IMO and this is totally that "my opinion" these are pretty much all or nothing, I mean you can adapt some of the concepts and techniques to smaller less equipt setups and have success but your just spinning your wheels, stick with something a little smaller scale, alot easier to manage and way way cheaper in the near and long term if your not goin full tilt from jump street.

Either drop in probe style or inline chillers needta be the first on the purchase list and then bigtime A/C action along with a Santa Fe dehuey ....Everything else follows that IME......
Good luck Inuit......DHF......Doubleds.....You`ve got mail at the other place Bro......
yeah, I'm saving my receipts for an accurate cost in the end...if I didn't already have lots of bulbs and ballasts, pumps, fans, etc this would be a ridiculous bill
Well Hell A.......Jump on in the water`s fine.........
As well as you pay attention ta detail you`ll do okies I`m sure........
You`re one of the better "young" growers I`ve seen in a while so after finals and vacation you can design a new "DD`s" setup and let us drool over it.......
Handle it my buddy and keep us posted.......
Happy Holidays Bro.........DHF........
Tex.......Glad you reallocated funds for profit instead of a monkey on da back cuz I love yo shit ....especially the "kiddie pool" grows.....LOL.......Lovin that UC too ......

You aren't understanding how he's getting a high output per plant if you think you can run 6 plants with 7k.
It takes a certain number of plants so that most plants have FOUR 1k lights around them, then you hit big numbers. You may as well stick to two plants and 6k of lights if you are limited to 6k and want them big like this, or to at least prove you can do it before investing a ton of money.
Think about the light/plant layout trying to get 4k or close on ea.
Don't underestimate the difficulty of growing like this either, you're really pushing things and small problems become big fast.
