You said you were familiar with grows. How many of the grows you have seen use this kind of equipment? ER: small metal boxes loaded with equipment?

Second, do you realize how much work this could be? Go look at Al B' Fucts setup on how to grow a lb every 2 weeks. He has to work 4-6 days a week 10 hours solid just trimming the final product. You could be looking at 40 hours a month just trimming alone.

Third, do you know what a MSRP is? (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) It is a bullshit number pulled out of thin air to make you think you are getting a great deal when you pay 1/2 of that...

Fourth, find some people (other than the manufacturers testimonials) that actually use the system and rave about it.

Fifth, have you figured out how to unload 50# of product?

Hopefully by this point reality is starting to dawn...

There is no foolproof system, nor one that is easy maintenance in the size you are referring to.

However, if you spend 2 weeks just doing research here on RIU and realize that yes, you actually have to build something and that growing is alot of work then you can easily save yourself $10,000 to $20,000 off the price.

You could have a system that grows a minimum of 25# of product a year for $5,000 or less depending on AC needs.

You have a point, never seen anyone use anything like this, but that is what I am trying to do, find people who have used it or know anything about it.

I have been here for a while and read thousands upon thousands of posts here and dont know anyone who uses a setup like that.

Which makes me skeptical...

I am starting to take you guys/gals word for it. I'm sure most of you know more about growing than I do.
What systems are recommended? Their has to be some sort of guideline or recipe out their that works best. I wanna grow a lot, with a high success rate. I know there are lots of ins and outs to growing and how to grow already. I can get help with that, I have a few friends with successful smaller grow rooms. I wanna know what is the best system to purchase to start up bigger.
I realize a lot of work is involved.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere. What is the size of the room or rooms you plan to grow in? Length, Width, Height (approximately).

I was under the assumption that noone used it because of the price, now obviously it is because it is not worth it.

Well, I pretty much have unlimited space in a conditioned warehouse at my shop. The original plan was to build out an area to fit the big kahuna package in. I am in construction, so that is no problem.

I am just going to ask you some questions to see if we can narrow down your choices.

Are you familiar with the cultivation laws in your state and are they based off plants or pounds?

Ok, so it makes no difference how you grow.

I am going to make some assumptions here. You have 200 Amps or more of power, you have a decent AC system, you have public water service, you have 12' + ceilings.

Are you the type of person that can be on site every day or do you need to leave from time to time on business or vacations?

I visit Texas on the regular, and I design electronic automated control for smaller grow operations (ACTUALLY I design them for internal combustion engines, but lately using the same technology in my grow. It would be great to setup someones large grow to build a prototype on. If controlling your entire grow from a computer sounds interesting to you then we should talk.

Yes. I have all of that. I didn't realize that i needed 12' ceilings, but that is no problem at all.

I will be around every day while i am growing.

Naah, you dont need em but lower than 10' might be a limitation.

Ok, you seem like you are interested in perpetual grows (by the system you were looking at) which means you will be rotating plants into flower regularly, germiating or cloning new plants and harvesting plants on a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly time frame.

What is your biggest concern about growing that made the Big Kahuna so appealing?

The price is ridiculous. You could probably hire some guy from RIU to come live in your house and grow dope for a year for that kind of $$

Anyone close to Texas interested in talking about building me a better system for less?

hell bro, I'm in cali and I'll fly down there and build you a 12x12 shed that matches your house and produces 4 pounds of fire every 3 weeks and let you keep 5 grand as a thank you

Not really a concern that made me like it. i liked the idea of it harvesting every 2-3 weeks, the idea of being able to do 50lbs a year, seemed rather self explanatory, supposed to be rather efficient, fully equipped, company seemed reputable, had 24 hr customer service and it will be already assembled with tons of nutrients and different things.
I guess i liked the sales pitch and wanted to buy it, so i set out on here to find out more.
