To each his own man but... hydro will sink you if your not careful. I ran it for a year an it was great. Second yr i chase root issues. I read everythng online about clearing it up. I had chillers an the whole 9 yards.
Best thing i did was switch to promix. Small words of wisdom - do what you know if your trying to make money...
The time of growing at home an making money is getting smaller. The risk will be higher as legalization starts coming around with black market shit. Before you know it youll be buying plates from dispensaries on every corner for 1400 like in colorado, so wont your customers...
If your expanding then i would do exactly what you did now. You know it works. You know your numbers. Get a calendar out and do some real math of net profits amongst how many places are running and how many cutdowns you can get from them within next 2 years. Its not a life changing amount. Its phenomenal amount but lets be real here. Its not enough to never work again off of (aka investing profit).
Hydro is great but youll hate yourself IF you lose even 1 crop.

Have you ever re-used your promix, or do you throw it out and replace it new for every run?

Use new I find that its not worth the work to rinse to reuse.

you can buy a plate for 1400 in CO from a dispensary? dispensarys in my state grow terrible product and charge 55 an eighth for their highest quality flowers, with a limit of 2oz purchased within a 2 week period.

So I've been following since about a month after you started. Been awesome watching. Your wife must be awesome. Also fyi you are my hero atm.
Wanted to ask about cost though. Material lights, equipment, to run electric... electric bill cost. 46k is awesome. Especially, what, 6 or 7 months. But what was the cost for set up. What would be the cost each run. & what is the profit.
I don't work for the IRS
just curious.I buy new every run

Reuse it outdoors in the garden.
Have you ever used coco? I reuse it and it gets better each run.
Ive always wanted to try coco
... i get clones in dixie cups with coco and stems are always thick compared to when i do clones in promix

I like Canna coco. It's been leached and precharged with CalMag. If you get any other brand you should leach it just like you would do, reusing your promix, and give a CalMag supplement with each feeding.

Thanks brother, your kind words are highly appreciated.So I've been following since about a month after you started. Been awesome watching. Your wife must be awesome. Also fyi you are my hero atm.

But frankly this took too long and mostly because of my own fault, I had a lot of other stuff going on while I was supposed to be solely dedicated to building this project to its completion first.
If you dedicate yourself everyday from the moment you wake up until you go to sleep, it shouldn't take you more than a week to build this same exact setup.
I took months to finish this project because I was back and forth doing other shit that would come up on a daily basis, plus I was moving, and I even had to go to another state for about a month and a half due to a family emergency, and so time would simply just get away from me.
But the truth is that this should've already been at least the 2nd, if not the 3rd, crop coming out of this particular setup.
So off the top of my head, a setup like this one would consist of the following:
16 HPS lights: $2,000 (+/-)
(60,000 BTU) / (5 ton) A/C unit: $1,000 - $2,000
(16) 20 gallon Smart Pots: $100 (+/-)
Substrate: $250 (+/-)
Nutrients: $1,000 - $3,000 (Depending on what you get.)
Miscellaneous stuff: $1,000 - $2,000
Electricity cost: ($0.00)
So if you're quite handy, resourceful, do all the work yourself, and look for bargains / good deals, and try to keep things on the low side, then you should be able to pull this off with around $5,000 - $6,000 (+/-).
Now on the high side, you can end up spending around $10,000 (+/-).
Remember that's all assuming that you have already acquired the space needed for this project, if not then you would have to factor in that cost as well, (First & Last + Deposit + 3 Months Rent).
