i have recently accuired a concrete partially under ground building that is 3 room of open space, one is 30 feet x 30 feet with a 16 foot high celing, and the other two are 28 feet x 30 feet with 12 foot celings. my questions are how many plants can fit comfrotabley in there and how many lights will i need? i was going to use the 30x30 for flowering, 1 28x30 for vegging, and the other 28x30 for clones, work space, and storage. and other ideas would be great
well....so this will just be for your personal use right. Lets see, general rule of thumb, figure one sqft/plant so your 30 by 30 room will fit about 900. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say you have no idea what your are talking about at this point, that is perfectly alright, you came top the right place to get answers.
The best production method doesn't need a vegging room, plants taken as clones done properly can go right into flowering light. I recommend you read AL B Fucts journal, Get A Harvest Every Two Weeks, first. this will give you a good idea of what can be done. Then I would probably recommend a trip to Amsterdam or maybe California if you establish some good contacs in a forum like this one to see some commercial operations and what things you may want to be aware of. Garden Knowm may be able to help with that once we have assured ourselves you are not Leo. It would probably be a good idea to try and visit some Hydro vegetable growing operation in Canada as well. For an operation that size, if you are not a hvac man you will want to have one you trust to set up an air handling system for a special Agricultural Building, an electrician and a plumber. For an operation that size you may want to establish someone in a Hydro Shop, the mark-up is probably 100% from wholesale to retail. The saving you would receive would pay for the business, I do not live in New York.
You may also want to investigate growing Oyster Mushrooms in that space. The mushrooms will produce the co2 you need and give youa secondary saleble crop. Boost Buckets use mushrooms as the medium if you want to investigate that.
Now I have a question, what is your budget in round six figure numbers to the left of the decimal point?? VV
