Suggestions for how to set up 30 plantss??

I am wondering what anyone thinks is the best way for me to do a 30 plant set up. I would like to be able to crop out some plants every month. So what do you guys think is the best way to set up that will give me really big yields but still great quality. Act as if you had an unlimited budget as well. thanks and one love

I would hire a consultant from one of the med friendly states, hand them the checkbook, and let someone else deal with the building :)

really though, there are too many ways to go... could do a 1k per plant, grow some giant trees... or a 30 plant sog under 1-2 1k's... Either way it sounds like you want perpetual, which means veg and flower lights (half wattage for veg is usually sufficient), and two rooms.

Beyond that, great quality and big yields (g/w?), are subjects that can fill books (and do :D). Anyway, no grow op really has unlimited budget, or no constraints of any kind, and those budgets and constraints are really what define how you build your op, so your question itself makes it difficult to guess at answers which might be useful :)

What exactly do you want to do?
Do you want to do this one grow and call it quits for awhile?
Or is this gonna be your job from now on?

Growing weed takes more knowledge than money.
Mostly everyone I've met that has tried to grow weed has fucked it up severely their first go around.
My advice, get some bagseed and grow a small shitty plant and go from there.
After that first plant, you'll know more than most and you'll know exactly what to do with your 30 plants.

o ive grown before i was jw what people thought was best. its not a job its medical. and im no genius but i have quite a bit of knowledge. I wanted to start out doin hydro bc i know i could get some bigger yields but i was contemplating flavor (which is much better with organic), and big yields. I wanted to be able to have a good strain that can produce big yields organic if possible

This is What is called a stadium grow..

It is an excellent way to maximize the space and to be able to get a perpetual harvest.

One Row per side is harvested weekly.

wow that looks really nice. so i see that you could just rotate each row out each time ur ready to harvest. is there another room for the plants that are veg?

Yes there is a second room to veg.
You only have to veg enough plants to fit one row per side every week.
I would recommend building a duplicate room and using this to veg.

1k a plant? I've never have seen or heard of anyone running a single 1000 watt light per plant. That would be insanity.

The only reason I can imagine someone even thinking of doing that is if they had a huge growing area such as a warehouse. Even then I can't imagine any sized plant would ever need a full 1k light to itself. Not to mention to electricity bill would be astronomical.

I know the medical operations large enough to ever contemplate doing that make boatloads of money, but the bill for lighting like that would be flat out rediculous and possibly jeopardize the entire operation.

ya i just ignored what that guy said about that. im thinking about doing 2 different hydro tables. 15 each. use a 600w for each table.

I grew hydro for awhile before I switched back to soil when I used to grow.
Hydro is a pain in the ass.
Unless your a connoisseur, then I'd completely understand.
When I grew hydro I didn't do it for flavor or taste or big yields. I grew hydro
for the fact that I was able to shave off 3-6 weeks from clone to harvest.

Once you really know what you're doing, you'll know what works best for your setup.

I really like this setup marijuananation, just out of curiousity, how much wattage and what size room is that. I think I would like to try something like that for myself..

I run about 1000 watts on one plant. its pretty freaking huge and I'm expecting at least a LB off of her. Using cheap nutes and cheap soil. 11 gallons + for pot size.

LIGHTS:
4 X 600 watt hps

ROOM SIZE:
5 foot x 8 foot


YIELD:
close to half pound per row roughly 1 lbs per week.
Could easily grow close to 8lbs with 4 x 600 hps in this setup if not doing perpetual harvest.
You could always build 5 rooms like this in a basement easily and then harvest and set up one room per week.
$$$$$$ OR MEDICINE.. whatever way you wanna look at it..
