It's not too bad they're quoting me $100,000 to convert 1000 square-foot basement turn key with everything which has 240 towers and each tower can do 10 plants
Would a Zip tower farm work with canabis?

i misread /had an aphasiac moment, somehow 28 grams became a pound and not an ounce. so this would basically be a vertical sea of green. interesting. not trying to be critical but it just seems a very expensive alternative to the traditional method. i'll be watching, good luck. sincerely.

I'm already running vertical Screen of Green, not a big difference. The $100K price seems a bit excessive.
@cool2burn What all do you get for that investment?

you aren't stacking your plants on top of each other, which seems like it could be an advantage or a dis-advantage, different things keep coming to mind....

240 of them in 1000 square feet??? Is that correct? Sounds like you might have to lower that number of units.

I hand built lots of these except I used hydrocorn in it. Trust me when I say they are high maintenance. If I were you I'd buy one and make one run with it to see if you should go big or not. My guess is you will go with something else.

I guess mine was full on with fish and all so it was a big learning curve and it was home built and i i only had a full season with it so i didn't rely get a chance to make to many tweaks... Damn this has me wanting to try it again. I may be off to lumberyard store to buy supplies. Im skipping fish this time. lol

think he was confused and thought you meant aquaculture.
i'm wondering what kind of backup generator system comes with this, if any? if you're growing in film hydro and the power goes out for more than an hour or two, you're done.

no i didnt think you were going to use fish with it lol. It would be hard to feed a heavy feeder like weed with fish. sorry if i gave you that impression.

I've looked at the fish thing and I might try it if there were more plants involved than just cannabis.

The greens I ran did great. Tomatoes stayed small and very small harvest on them. Like a couple tomatoes each plant. It's a fun thing to get into...
