Thanks!!
Not to minimize what you just graciously advised but I know the basics listed in your brief help list. I went to Oaksterdam and took the basic and advance courses- Ed rosenthal was one of the instructors. (I know that doesn't make me a grower-but taught the list above and then some). I will not get 'hands on' til I have the room set up-not legal in the state so can't go find a job someplace either. I know I need lights, air flow, CO2, soil, fert... I was looking to shorten the work load needed to add up the cost of each light fixture, each linear foot of plumbing,... but i guess this may not be readily available. I have found the details on the avg yeild sq/ft so i thought this may be available as well.
Anyway, I guess because I am working p/t in a very large (acres)greenhouse (not MM) i have a visual of all the piping to irrigate, the temp and humidity controls systems, the carts and rail systems... I was using that to fuel my thoughts. I am looking for what it would cost to set that up on a much smaller scale-indoor with soil. I guess I'll have to find a way to ask the owners w/o letting them know my intent-very religious and may not be fond of the idea. I also understand some of the differences and importance for example-they don't have a dark control flowering room or CO2.
I don't know what finite details are and realize obsticles exist every step of the way but was hoping that these numbers exist somewhere in a condensed form where i could get a solid ball park to work off of. An example of what I was looking for; lets say there was a 10,000 sq ft grower out there-he may know that his build out cost him when he first set up-$100,000 for example. I would then know that when i was ready and say I was going 1,000 sq/ft I would budget for $10,000 plus a % more for economies of scale. This would include all the mat'l for lights, CO2, tables, plumbing, temp control... Plants, seed, soil, fert... raw mat'l would all be extra-just the build out i was looking for.
Well thanks for the help-glad i found this place and I'm sure i will learn a lot here. Hope to be able to return the favor someday also.
