Medical Grow Setup advice.

HI, I have been approved to produce medical bud. I can have up to 98 plants. My plan was to veg them longer so I can get HUGE plants. Anything less then 4oz per plant is a waste of time. So if anyone has advice on how long I can expect to veg that would be great so I can start to plan my schedule. I have 25 foot ceilings so height is not an issue. I have a lot of room so I am not limited in what I do. I am going to grow OG Kush. Also if anyone has advice on what size pots I should grow these monsters in. Please only leave advice if you have done this I don't want to do anything that hasn't been proven.

are u going to train these plants? because og kush is not a high yielding strain.
if your still going to try it 10 gallon pots is what you will need.
your over head should be roughly 10 grand a month. good luck.

And I say if you want HUGE plants you will need to veg at least 6 weeks if not more. Best of luck to you in your venture
 
you will need almost 1000w for every 4-6 plants to be able to yield 4 oz or more per plant. you will need almost 18-24 ballast with at least 5 gallon buckets size or larger . this is going to be an industrial operation and a full time job to set up and maintain .what did you buy a warehouse or something. because that is what you will need for this operation, you will need a building with a large power capacity 400 amp or more . this is more than any 200 amp residential drop.either you have lots of money or your a fucking retard with big dreams

Thanks for the advice. I was planning on putting 10 lights in each room. I have lots of space and the whole top floor of my house has 30 foot ceilings so I have about 2000 square feet of wide open area and support beams in which I can easily separate my rooms. I live on 10 acres in the middle of nowhere BC canada so all I have is free time. money is not an issue thats why I will not be cutting costs to make this work. I want this to be done right the first time. The only thing I lack is experience in growing but lucky I have been given a license to perfect the kraft of growing. BTW I am a retard with BIG DREAMS and now it seems like they will become reality!

If you have all this money and are licensed to do a medical grow on such a massive scale, then I would suggest you get someone from a reputable dispensary in the area and have them consult with you on what you would need as far as space per plant, CO2(so many plants inside will eat relative CO2), fans, lights, ballasts, reflectors, air cooling configurations, calculating the BTU output of all the lights for proper cooling implementation, nutrient choice, growing media, and anything else I missed. Once a plan is on paper and gone over many times, get a GOOD electrician in there. All those lights are going to need juice and you may need a more robust drop put in depending on the final plan. With such large plants, I would look at going with as mentioned above, 10gal pots with soil less media and use nutes. Now with everything planned, make a diagram / layout of the design and get the power points put in at the right places.

You are looking at boku bucks here to implement this properly. Putting in the right infrastructure for this kind of op is BIG money and would be a massive waste if you got out of running your indoor botanical forest. I would suggest starting with a single grow room and honing your skills before expanding so enormously with more big dreams than experience. If you do have the cash, surround yourself with people who know what they're doing and hang on their every word and you should somehow come out of this with a good harvest!

good luck.

Lucky for me my neighbour is an electrician but I do not live anywhere close to a dispensary or people for that matter.Most people grow outdoor where I live so their knowledge only goes so far. I am meeting someone tomorrow that I met threw the electrician that has grown for 30 plus years but now is retired. He has more money then you could burn with a can of gasoline so its gonna be hard to motivate him to give me the advice I need. I have 18 hours a day to devote to this project and access to a stupid amount of funds if what I have doesn't cover it. Just need experience and advice from a proven gardener. I am the first person in my circle to test my luck at gardening so thats why I lack the info. I don't want to go to my old supplier and start asking because we are business friends, not show you where my house is friend.Thanks for the tips

I have gotten the person to give me advice that I need and I have also purchased a large business to do this thing in so I will have things underway next month and will post lots of pics.

man i would get a passport and fly to Canada just to help you if this is for real just keep askin for info around and searching google and you will find all the math equations and info you need. find an artist or someone just good at drawing to make a blueprint of your design. as far as electricity and air circulation its all about the diameter if the ducting or wire and the length of circuit(one way). and that really only applies to exhaust air. intake air is pretty simple just a little math to determine size of fan and a timer/sensor for it and put it in a good spot witha dampener on it. the high ceilings will actualy not help 12 ft ceiling would be more ideal 15 foot max

OH its real, and once its all ready I have another person who is going to appoint us to grow for them too! So it will be about 195 medical plants. The future looks exciting.
