I am a licensed medical grower for a legal medical state in the northeast.
My Goal: To grow as much tree as possible by the end of the year. Efficiency is of equal priority (space, electricity, and time), as well as some variety of medicine. I plan on harvesting every 2 months after initial 2 month veg.
I have a 850SF 8 foot tall detatched garage that is uninsulated on walls and ceiling. I have a subpanel here.
a 1300 SF 7 foot attic where the floor is insulated but the roofdeck and walls are uninsulated - no circuits
a 1500 SF 6 foot basement with no circuits or insulation
a 1400 SF 8 foot two story shed (700 each floor) no circuits, no insulation
Old electrical in house (112 year old large farm house with electrical updates done here and there)
I will get the electrical where it needs to be. Im just looking for opinions on usage of space (keeping in mind my 72 plant limit and SF i have) and also lighting, equipment, co2, exhaust, temperature and humidity, nutes, water, soil, strains.
Im in search of an experienced patient professional consultant that will work with me on the phone. I desire someone that will answer my questions. I had a recent somewhat productive consult with someone. I learned alot but he ran the conversation and its hard for me to retain everything when a conversation is not give and take. I also will be asking more questions on this forum til I get my full plan together.
First real questions i want answered is:
what should my veg lights be and how many plants should i veg if I want to flower 72 plants? i can have up to 142 plants in veg. I can veg in the basement. in winter the heat from the boiler should keep it warmer down there.
ive heard MH lights are better for veg because there is more light in the blue spectrum. MH vs T5's?
Do i veg in solo cups initially from clones?
how many clones should i buy?
clones are 5 times cost of seeds but is it worth it given germination rates?
can you tell if clones are male or female?
