Proof their envy is as green as your weed. Forgot the price, you did it right the first time, which was made obvious in the replies . I like your combo of HPS and LED.
Now to increased yield, the basis of the thread.
My advice is to hang lights vertically without a reflector, coliseum style. Get a great mother and use the same phenyo thruout. I would also suggest hydro.Single flow top feed drip ring coir in veg for 3 months in 10 gal smartpots is what I'm trying now. Just turn them a little everytime you water or feed.
This is similar to Heath Robinson. If you are starting a club then number of plants is limited, so take some time and veg some beasts. LST the hell out of them and they will grow toward the light sideways with even light coverage. The g/w efficiency will make you a pervert, prefer vertical. Remember the reflector makes most the heat. You can put plants
like ten inches from a 1000.
Pick a high yielding strains
I made an even g/w ratio first time and i F'D up just about everything in soil with all different strains.
Good luck to you and to your collective, and in Mich youll clean up more than 5000 a lb if its quality but the prices are slipping fast.
I also wish I had a lot of your equipment but I have to chip away. I am also starting a club and I understand the price of overhead expenditures. Literrally everything will get paid off in less than six months.
I could break this down simply like this
There are growers who own clubs, professionals who spend money to make the best cannabis and wages.
Then there are cfl ff bagseeders who are jealous enough to say they say you on youtube.
