TGT said:I think the best way of growing commercially with the least risk is to grow at multiple locations and keep them under a certain kw. I know someone (very well) that has three grows going consisting of 4 to 5 thousand watters at each. He only has no more than 25 plants at each location and pulls in $35,000.00 profit from all three every two months. 2 pounds per 1000 is very common. The veg location is somewhere other than the three grow locations so this allows each grow to only need lights on for 12 hours each day. The amount of time it takes to tend each garden is about 2 hours a day on average. 6 hours a day isn't too bad for the income. Some days is less, some more. Just depends on what has to be done that day. Usually the most work is in the beginning and end of the crop, with the middle being the least effort.
The main things I can suggest to be successful is:
- Pay your hydro bill on time every time.
- Never steal power.
- Do the grow properly or don't do it at all.
- Don't tell anyone anything - it is a need to know basis.
- Take care of the property outside and look like you live there.
- Never put anything grow related into the garbage. Not even hydro bills.
- Get a lock on your mail box.
- Take care of smell 100%, even with the front door wide open you shouldn't smell anything.
- Use a dehumidifier in the grow room and in the living areas of the home. Fogged up windows in winter is a dead give away.
- Replace all incandecent lights in the home with spiral flourecents to save power.
- Wash and dry all clothing at another location.
- Eat out so that the electric stove does not have to be used.
- Secure your property with gates and locks, but not to the point of being suspicious. If the post man can go there so can the police! If locked it is trespassing. This is especially good for when cops try to do a perimeter search.
- If police come to the door it is probably for a 'knock and talk'. Do not open the door and act as though you are not home. When they leave call the number on the card they most likely left behind.
- Try to not have any exhaust exiting the home at ground level.
- Do odd favours such as cutting the neibours grass when away on vacation or shovelling snow ect.
- Be friendly to your neibours, but not overly. The less chance you give them to questrion you the better.
- Always make sure your electrical is up to par especially in older homes.
- Don't opt for any special offers your hydro company makes you. It will only flag your name and then human eyes will have to see your bill. Just better to be a number in the system.
- Do not dispose of old soil in your garden. The perlite stands out as indoor soil and looks very sucpicious.
- Don't have frends and visitors at the grow location.
- Never sell from the same location as the grow (obvious!)
That's all I can think of at the moment. If done correctly it can be very easy and not as stressful on the nerves. Even 1 grow that takes 2 hours a day on average to care for can bring in 15,000.00 profit every 2 months minus all expense.
Just what I have learned over the past fifteen years.

all mediums have some form of rootball to toss.... RW u throw away the medium, rootball and all. my SOIL rootballs arnt bad, i re-use all my FFOF...BlindDate said:You have obviously never grown with coco. Most of us reuse it for at least 3-4 runs. That will drastically eliminate the amount of root ball to dump.
ACTUALY, NOT. the whole fucking IP range is in AMSTERDAM.ARTofMAKINGfire said:Actually, Surrey, UK.
ARTofMAKINGfire said:That's wierd. My anti-virus/firewall has a website identifier that tells me the location of any server.
I think maybe something is being routed through the UK. Otherwise, why would it come up?
ARTofMAKINGfire said:It may be, I was asking a legitimate question. Man.

Out of curiousity, for those working 10k and up, what sorta gm/w are competent folks averaging? High grade. and how frequently?
1.37gm/watt on a 56 day cycle seems to be damn near maxxed out as far as average production goes. or rather,
or rather 3lb/1000w
