I guess it's time to Grow my own Dope

[80sMeltDown]

So here's the deal. First off i have read every thread in this forum, and
i still have no idea how this shoud be set up. I will admit that im not
the smartest person on earth. I droped out of school to follow the Dead in
1979. Psyodelics are my speciality, not growing Grass. Ok, i will have
a partner involved in this. He was a Vietnam Vet that knows how to, umm
i think he said run a Sub Panal or something like that, to power every thing.
I think ive gathered up all the stuff i need. Ill list it below. Me and the
he old fart have already came up with a plan, just need some other opinions.

Here's my List

2-1000 watt HPS- Air cooled
1-1000 watt MH- Air Cooled
1-400 Watt
1-6ft. Light rail
1- Grow brite 6in High Velocity in line Fan
1- Grow brite 4in High Velocity in line Fan
1- green air Co2 gen (propaine) CD3
Enought Balck and White palastic to cover the 12 by 12 room 9ft sealing
1- 7000 BTU AC.
Still need to get Co2 monitor and Thermastat ( looking for each for a good price.)

Any help would be appreated, also do i need any more equipment?
Also, would that be too much power for a 2 bedroom house?

Thanks,

Where will this be taking place? A garage? Basement? Shed? It's going to be loud and stinky, so keep that in mind if there are neighbors neer by.

With a CO2 generator and a a/c unit, you won't need to exhaust the air as much, so maybe just go with one inline fan for the air cooled lights.

Also, you'll need to figure out how your going to grow. I mean are you going to go soil? Hydro? Organic? Sense this is your first time, I recommend using coco and general hydroponic nutrients (6mL/g micro and 9mL/g bloom) and just water by hand - it's pretty much noob proof.

You must smoke a lot of dope if that is what you need to "Grow your own" - LOL Just bustin your balls, I wish you well in your new profession.


As to your power question, will you be living there, or is the only power going to be from the op?

Don't skimp on wiring and electrical.

Well, it's gona be Organic at first. Ive collected 40 5g. Buckets. This is gona run of my local CO OP @12cent per Kw hr. Is there another way to get power Like tap hot taping before the meter? that would mean certain death for me. It' a unused bedroom in my house. Not concerned about noise, people around here are pay me no attention, just a naberhood Werd-O. Long hair and long beard, im sure you get the point. My patener seems to have a fasonation with firearms, being a Vet and shit, I will no allow any guns in my house, Cops shoud not even have guns. Last thing i need is him freak out and start shoothing at Charley, if you get my point, althougth he acts ok on Shrooms, shoud be no problem. So how would go about this set-up? please ask any more questions if needed. Yes ill be living in the home and concerving all the power i can, such as switching off the hot water heater and such.

Thanks ,

You can certainly steal power before the meter, but if you do, you might as well send a note with your address and a pic of your plants to the DEA. You will get raided.

Power companies don't like people stealing and they very actively pursue that. They have meters that show what the whole neighborhood is using, and compare that to the totals that the house meters are showing. It's not hard for them to see power is stolen, and then it takes a guy about a day to figure out where.

You are talking about running about 5k, once you add lights, and AC, etc up. Your bill will increase a couple hundred dollars at your 12 cent rate.

Many will say not to be scared, but I would call your electric company, tell them you are looking at buying a house in your neighborhood, and ask them to tell you what the average cost for that area is, so you can get an idea if you can afford it.

Then take that number, and see how much over it you go to get an idea of how much you will stand out.

Stealing power is crazy, talk abuot getting busted ! i need to have some way to seperate the room for a clone and veg area. My hopes were to have the other bedroom be a dark room once the operation gets going. That way ill need to run the 3-1000 24-7 and manualy move the plants to the dark room. and vise versa.

If you growing for personal use, you don't need that many watts. I grow with 800w and have way more that I can smoke.
Start small and then work your way up. That way there is room for error, wich you will have.
Good growing

[Mr.Jones]

wow 3000w for a beginner is pretty big - if you got your system all dialed in you look at yields of at least 1 1/2 pound each month - thats like 10g per day per person!? - and if you do it right the stuff you grow is pretty potent ...

i mean are you sure you need this big of a operation? - if you are busted you are busted for commercial growing for sure ...

 

[80sMeltDown]

Ive already got my equipmant, and i have many friends that i smoke with,
and it seems they the never have any grass. So, yea i need alot of dope....
It will not be sold, im not a dealer, althought ive sold my shair of acid. That was a long time ago, Shit man at one time i had enought Acid to make the hole word trip. Ive never been one to start small. The way i see it if your gona get busted with 10 it's no different then well 99 in my state.

 

[Littleleaf]

Are going to split the room?
Veg and flower

 

[little wing]

Don't skimp on the electrical hookups.

 

[80sMeltDown]

Yea my Vet friend is doing the the Elecerical work. He is going to add a sub panel, and use 20amp fuses. Yea the room has to be split for the veg and clone area. I think i can save enough power around the house to make up for it, hippie out, use as less power as possable. Im wondering if the 6ft. light mover is going to move the 400 watt or do some type of rigging to move thr 3 1000 watt'ers. 12cent per kw/hr is quite expensive. I think they add some sort of fuel charge it last month normaly it's around 8 to 9 cent per hr.

Almost forgot to mention, Space Cheeze will be grown.

How is this Set-Up

How is this Set-Up

The room is 12' by'12 ft 8 foot to the cealing.
May plan is to run 1k hps 1K MH on eack mover,
and the exact same for the lights and rail.
Im going to build a platform for the plants out
of 1in and 2 in. It will be supported by 4 cables,
one at each end and can be ajusted as needed.
It will hangin the center of the room. Im just
lost on Fan size. I would like to have i fan for
each 2k of light. and an intake fan. With co2 it wont
be runing alot. I just a iittle paranoid adout the
power use, what the most watts that run off thr co-op'

Thanks,
