Hello Farm family. Ive been looking into ideas for when my state goes medical and after seeing a video posted on here of Tweed's grow facility I began to wonder why more large scale indoor grows didnt use these benches. I know these can be a little pricey around 1200 bucks for a 6 x 40 ft bench. In my opinion the added grow space you get and still have the room to walk in to work when needed seems worth the money. wood benches warp and wont last and this just seems smart to me to get the most space out of your rooms. Thats a whole row added for plants that otherwise would just be dedicated work aisles.
Heres a few pics if your not familiar with what Im talking about.
Now let me give a quick thought on how I'm thinking of using them. My goal is for a 10ooo sqf facility. I'm not sure of the exact size of the flower rooms yet but im thinking 40 something x 25 each. Now before I was looking into using 21 e paps over 3 rows. with these benches I could go 4 rows with 28 e paps a room. granted the size of the width of the rolling bench used would change but either way you look at it i am gaining more space for plants.
one of the issues I see is having to make custom trays for drainage to cover the width used. Plan is to go coco dtw so that shouldn't be so bad. Id like to have the option to run a top drip feed at some point but I think all that can be managed. .
I guess my question is for any large scale growers. any draw backs to using something like this? any problems or concerns Im not seeing? Im open to all feed back. as of right now im just in the planning phase waiting to pull the trigger when the vote goes down. But as with all my 20 plus years growing this plant I like to put a lot of thought into my plans and bounce the ideas of like minded people. Im not a know it all but I did stay at a Holiday inn express last night , lol. This is a discussion about design ideas or maybe concerns. Not a debate if I can pull this off.
