I was thinking about renting a warehouse in San Diego to expand my grow. Does anyone know what to look for or have any experience with this sort of thing?

These are some things that I think I should look for:
  • sufficient power (not sure of how many amps I need)
  • low key location
  • roll up garage door to bring SUV into warehouse to load and unload cargo
  • good water supply/drainage

Thanks in advance for your help and I know a lot of this isn't San Diego specific but I thought I would ask anyway.

I've searched for them, leased them, and set up grow ops in them. You should get to know me. :lol:

There are many rentals like you want all around San Diego, but to keep the heat issues to a minimum, I prefer to stay as close to the coast as possible. The farther inland you are, the more air conditioning you will need.

Yes it does sound like I should get to know you. I am with you on staying close to coast but what else should I be looking for?

I am still in the infancy of planning this out but I would definitely have multiple rooms in order to have a semi-perpetual harvest. I would like to get a harvest a month and I can do this with either 3 equal sized rooms or 1 medium veg room and 1 big flower room. I am open to suggestions, especially if you have experience.

Yea me and my buddy were planning on 4 lights with 9 plants in soil each 2 weeks ahead of flower so hopefully 9 ounces every 2 weeks then have a 8 x 8 tent vegging stuff in the corner I just find 2 weeks is about the perfect time between harvest

2 weeks would be cool if I didn't have a full time job. I think once a month will be the right interval for me now but maybe a 2 week interval in the future.

Yeah forshur, I saw that you did those dwc buckets I had one inside a cab the drip recirculating one and I put two air stones in there too and it outgrew my light also haha so I put it outside had like 5 more weeks to flower, would you do hydro in the warehouse.? I would much rather do that like 4 x 8 flood tabeles harvest a table every 2 weeks ha

I am so impressed with the power of the undercurrent DWC setup that I am planning on using that in the warehouse and everywhere else that yield is important. For my experiments I may go with flood and drain but it doesn't seem to match up with undercurrent DWC.

I would like to have multiple DWC setups so I can custom tailor each to the strain's nutrient needs.

I do 4 plants under a 1000 watt light and last time I yielded 22 ounces, this time I expect around 32 ounces.

Yup, CO2 and House an Garden nutrients. I haven't even gotten it dialed in yet. This is my second grow in this setup so I have some more fine tuning to do, like get a bigger hood to provide a wider light footprint. I am pretty happy with the results so far but know I can do better.

Thinking about doing the same thing and the first thing I thought of was the fire department inspections Anyone know if they only check businesses don't see why they would check storage warehouses ?
