you already know im there funk!

and the total cost with everything was probably around 4 or 5 grand.. my electric bill is probably about 250-300 extra with the room but keep in mind where i live it is probably the most expensive electricity in the country. it uses about 1000 kwh a month i think

what did you spend five grand on? I couldnt imagine spending that much at all.

Could you tell me how you spent that much.

lumber, electric (ballasts, bulbs & timers), plumbing (hoses, pumps, & res'), hardware (screws & brackets), 80 containers, hydroton, fans, huge carbon filter, ducting, nutes, CO2

ive seen 1200W 9'x6' tented flat gardens holding 40 plants take 3k-3.5k to get going properly...5k for a 2400W vertical garden holding 80 plants is well worth it IMO..either way, if you do it right youre getting that money back & seeing returns on the first harvest

Ok, i get it. I just assumed that you converted from a dif 3k setup. I guess your right. I spent 4k getting my first 2k watt setup going. I bet that carbon filter was like $500 by itself. God damn grow shops. lol

yes they do get dirty after a while, i clean them between each cycle... first rub em down with bleach, then run clearex through the whole system, then rub em all down with a wet rag

Ive always found financing new grows to be a bitch. I spend most part of my new grow financing on just rent.

I'm a big fan of the Vert. Growing. The pic showing the Outdoor Vert. set-up is awesome, also. Old Hollow Logs, maybe 12' PVC pipe, modified, etc."One of these days. A Vine covered brush pile, with a couple "Pipe Grows" laying in it is the best idea I've been able to come up with. The Pic is one of many seen at POT FARM search. Got any updated pics of your Grow, it's been awhile.

You should read the Story. They really should make a movie about it. I won't say how they got busted. I don't want to spoil the fun. See Underground growing, pot farm, etc. It was in Tenn.

The STUPID FUCKS started stealing elec, by passing the meter.... The Big A-Frame House, just a front, no curtains (mistake), think of all the millions spent up-front to do the set-up. They maxed out on the elect. to start, was scared to request for more. (Cool). Besides the money, a lot of growing exper. was involved. The Dude knew his shit. For additional valid electrical needs, a 2 car sized garage filled with BS wood woking machines,.. Table saws, planers, compressors, etc. They don't have to actually work. Cut up a bunch of shit, throw sawdust around. Or a Tennis Court with 8 BS HPS lights, tht would have done the trick. Elect. Guy, jumped the fence, found the by-pass.
