way to invest early and enjoy yourself SHINE ON BROTHER

 

[DaGambler]

don't look like anyone will be using water to supply electric to grow weed anytime soon. geo-thermal, dams, ocean wave energy... too expensive.

it would seem Jack is a very busy boy. Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water...

j - a - a - a - c - k ..... J- a - a - a - a - a - c - k .......

must be higher 'n shit.

[GypsyBush]

expensive is relative...

how much in electricity bills will you pay, for the rest of your life?

I am not saying it's perfect... just one of the many options...

as for high... you know it bro...

And just to illustrate my point even further...

this unit produces 400 KW...

a smaller unit would be.. well.. smaller...

 

[DaGambler]

first you'd have to buy the land. or just happen to have a hot spring in your backyard. solar can be anywhere (except the long alaskan night?) and wind can be anywhere, i would guess.
.

 

[GypsyBush]

Sure...

But IF you have access to it... it's producing at 100% capacity 24/7...

no calm days.. no cloudy days...

Just saying IF.. bro...

I really don't imagine many of us are willing to spend what it ACTUALLY take to power an op without "plugging in"...

Hell... I'm on a generator.. paying $14 bucks a gallon to feed 24/7... multiply that by the last OR the next 20 years...

holy hell, dude. i've heard you say something about a generator before... your house has no electricity?! or just not enough?

i've done the math on running an Op 'off the grid' via a diesel generator or such.... you'd be giving 1/3 of ur profit right to the gas company.

[GypsyBush]

holy hell, dude....

I live 400 miles from the nearest Electrical pole... or the nearest road... bank... hydro shop...

It's not the end of the world... but we can see it from here...

Thanks every one DEGAMBLER I plead the fifth on if I know the owner of that set up ..As far as power goes almost every one that is growing for a large amount of patience and Med clubs do not grow at home, These set ups are grown in large industrial buildings where power is not in issue. On the city side there is 4,160 volts that is dropped down to a three phase panel 480 v /277and a transformer splits the 120v /208 v to sub panels having over 10,000amps available.There was a place on the news in Cali that was over 500,000 sq feet burning 1,000x 1,000 watts caught fire. It takes an amazing amount of Medical marijuana to supply the medical community where I live We are not even a fly on the wall or a grain of sand when you look at the over all picture .

 

[JACKMAYOFFER]

looks like (6) 4'x6' trays and (4) 3'x3' trays.... maybe a 100 gal. and a 200 gal. rez... feed lines but no individual drip emmiters... 14 or so 600w lamps?

do you know the person running this or is this just the dream room of the future ?
.

There is 20 x 1000 w and the trays are 4x8 there is 250 gallon rez and a 150 gallon rez in the room. And a 500 gallon rez out side the room that holds the RO water . The set up you see was not complete at the time of the picture it is drain to waist. You can see the drain line in the pic.This is 1 of 4 rooms this room is growing Blue Dream.

Nice set up DAMN!! with all those strains what would you say was the best one or even your best three? Not sleepy bud ,don't like sleepy bud, Peace out Headband707

I smoke Sativa's most of the time I really like JACK the Ripper and Deep Chunck X Strawberry cough.. Thanks for the cooking tip I made suckers with the BUBBA KUSH X MASTER KUSH Lower buds and they are amazing for pain way better then any pain killer I have ever taken for my neck and back pain...

 

[GypsyBush]

It really seems I should be moving out of BFE and going to Cali...

 

[theloadeddragon]

all I see is steel plastic rubber etc. etc. I love to build and design things, ..... water..... fuck the man......

Cost is very little in comparision ($ wise) when you build the unit ...... but will take a bunch of work and time ......... but I could design to my own specifications and circumstances .........

 

[tahoe58]

I just went looking at microhydro and microturbines .... looks like generally up to 100kW .... 100-150kW NG portable generation is like $20k? but these small home backup units of up to 10kW are around $2k?

 

[theloadeddragon]

think I could build it at 1/4 of the cost???

 

[tahoe58]

I imagine so .... site and purpose designed and built ... I expect it won't be long before I am off the grid ... I like the peace quiet and solitude.

think I could build it at 1/4 of the cost???

 

[partyreefer]

Absolutely insane. I envy you with every fiber of my moral being. Obviously subscribed =]

i'm sure there's a lot (or a few) warehouses/factories burning that many HID's... was that place actually growing mary-ju-wanna?

it's all a matter of scale... the rez's get bigger... the lamps get bigger... the trays get bigger... i was close with the guess of 16 lamps at least

Makes me wanna go greenhouse... 'cuz i'll never be able to compete with that kind of electrical usage... indoor space... etc. But i guess i don't wanna do this forever... still hoping to hit it and quit it. My jealousy knows no limits.

[theloadeddragon]

Im building a greenhouse!! wanna help me?? I will even run some electricity out there just to make you happy

my ideal job would be tending to a greenhouse in the middle of nowhere. (as long as its not in Alaska, brrrrrrrr, save that for GypsyBush )

[simpsonsampson420]

i'd be happy with just a house of green.. even if its not in a green house... a huge as commercial op, that didnt feel so commercialized, would be sick...
