Commercial setup advice needed

your room is beautiful, sorry for my scepticism, but i could not see any fish. I can say that if you are running all that using fish as a basic nutrient source for flowering, and recirculating the same feed water back to the fish, then you are very skilled and have achieved what many could never achieve.
Its an older system that I ripped down for an upgrade. I have a complete video of the multi-floor system, but it's with an earlier grow with smaller plants.

Trust me, aquaponics are very sufficient for cannabis growing. Anyone that says different is misinformed.

THAT is awesome! seriously that is great work i am very impressed with it, I never applied anything in aquaponics, but as i was reading a bit, i thought it hard to find fish that generate particularly P-K and other elements other than nitrogen in sufficient amount, and I raise the ppm in flowering up to 1500 and wonder how some fish would survive with that, along other complications. It would be helpful if you start by only naming the fish that you use and what fertiliser they release? thanks :)

I test test for individual nutrients, and add what's needed. I never go above 1000ppm's total, as it's not required.

not going above 1000ppm is a serious limitation imo, especially when one is talking commercial, and a 10-15% decrease in yield is significant. From my experience, it is not sufficient to grow in all phases at 1000ppm. yes you will flower and finish, but finish with less

do you have like a lab to test for calcium, magnesium potassium phosphates etc..?
No lab is needed. But yes, I have test kits. Once upon a time, I used North Eastern Laboratories, but sending off is too expensive, so I just bought the spot checkers.

My intentions weren't to hijack the thread, I just wanted to make it clear that if you have the drive, you can definitely grow and flower cannabis on a large scale using Aquaponics, using many different types of fish. Here are some brook and rainbow trout.

First of two plants in my little setup. HSO's Lemon Garlic OG. Check out those capitate-sessile trichomes! I'm still in veg, even! She's been pushing these trics since she was a 3-day-old seedling! :eyesmoke:
