Hello All,
I am new to the forums, but not to gardening. I am planning on moving locations and building out a larger facility and am looking to throw ideas back and forth from people who have set up larger Commercial warehouse Grows.
Now I will be doing this in Oregon where it is legal and safe to grow for patients and will be putting together a grow site for multiple growers under the OMMP (much like a collective).
But because Oregon has some plant number restrictions per patient, instead of massive numbers to produce yields, I will be producing massive plants to get huge yields. (1 plant to achieve over a lb. indoors)
How it works in Oregon:
1 Grower
4 patients
1 Patient
6 Mature plants (any thing above 12" or has flowers)
18 immature plants (smaller than 12" tall & wide)
1 Grower potentially
24 mature plants and 72 immature plants
(4 patients x amount of plants allotted)
Growing approach and plan
Split the allotted amount of mature plants per grower by half for each stage.
12 plants in veg and 12 plants in flower (this example is for only one grower, multiply how many growers in site)
• Veg time 8 weeks
• Flower time 8 weeks
• Perpetual cycle: Harvest every 2 months (yield over 1lb plants)
This doesn't include the immature plants.
Plan for the immature plants
Cutting clones and developing immature plants monthly
training them once they start rooting and using SCROG
Keeping them short and fat, developing a big root system before transplant into mature veg plant stage.
using methods like mainlining and topping to keep immature plants within regulations.
Grow set up and equipment
• 1 plant/1 light (in flower)(first weeks in mature veg there will be 4 per light then moving them into 2 per light and 1 per light near week 6)
• 1 plant in flower – 4x4 (16sqft)
• Scrog method
• Large containers (working way up from small to transplanting in to 10+ gallons)
• Drip top feed or ebb n flow set up (I love ebb n flow, but wanted to hear thoughts)
• Each room sealed for c02 supplementation and environmental controls (HVAC)
• 1000w dimmable Epapillon (12 each room)
• Combo with T5 and Epapillon (starter room immature plants)
for 24 lights i will need 24L x 16sqft = 384 canopy sqft (mature)
Not including working space like walking.
1 ton ac = 3-4 1000w lights i will need about 8 ton AC
thinking something like this as a blue print:
My plan is to be able to achieve Monster yields perpetually due to the constraints. I have done this before but in much smaller set up. We will be looking at 4 or 5 growers at this site so our plant numbers will be 96-120 mature.
I have a good amount of experience and many crops under my belt. I do not however have much experience with a grow of this caliber, so if anyone reading this does, feel free to impart any wisdom and advice you have upon myself. Tell me what you think and your thoughts. and ill answer any questions you have, this is very short and to the point.
