Well I have been "flat growing" for a few years with 2x600W but with a move coming up I really want to step it up a level. Reason being the house we decide to rent will be rented with this size and style of grow in mind.
The Plan
3x1000W Vert (Probably Octagon Style) flip flop
For now no sealed room don't want the extra electrical usage as I'm already a little worried about how much we will be using with 3k+ 24/7
Medium willl be Sunshine Mix #4. it is what I have always used and don't really want to change. Plants will be in growbags.
Ferts I am undecided but am thinking about Humboldt or H&G.
Going for large amount of small plants. No idea how many yet until I know the ideal size room for these 3k setups. Thinking 150 or so a room?
Strains will be BC God Bud in 1 room and Strawberry Cough in the other. The God bud I am familiar with and I love it and think it will do well with this style grow. The Strawberry Cough I had a chance to try and really liked it so thought would try it out in a room.
Questions to start-
I have been spending alot of time reading about vert growss but still haven't figured out what the Ideal size for the rooms would be. Your thoughts?
I plan on using the 3 lights 1 above the other and in cool tubes. Don't know too much about those tubes yet or diameters they come in. But to cool 3x1000W HPS the inline fan is going to need to be a minimum 6 Inch.
Also I see alot of people running around the same amount of Watts as me but I see nothing on how they have set it up electrical wise. Considering a 1000W pretty much maxes a normal 15amp circuit. So are you guys running your own lines from the breaker box or running cords from other rooms that have seperate circuits?
Also plan on having a small veg room using HO T5s a clone area and a spot for mothers. Not sure how many mothers I am going to need for that money cuttings. I always grew from seed before.
If anybody on here knows anything about Hydro Quebec and if they flag over a certain amount of KWH would be appreciated. I know in BC when I lived there you were fine as long as you paid your bill on time and did not exceed 93kwh a month.
All in all this should be pretty fun to setup and run. Just need to get the room sizes figured out so I know what to look for when we start looking at houses.
