    im getting 6 600 watt electronic ballasts and reflectors with all new bulbs etc. Ill be using 2 centrifigul fans, one for fresh air to come in, and the other connecting all enclosed reflectors to help draw hott air out of the room.

    70 plants in an 8x9 area. Blueberry + White widow

    50 lb carbon filter as well...

    my question is, should i get the round reflectors that arent enclosed or should i use the square reflectors that are?

    My budget is $5000 for the setup.

    Enclosed reflectors are better, you can put the lights a couple inches closer to the plants, but they weigh a lot more so make sure they're hung by something strong.

    imma unplug every other device in my apartment such as my fridge, stove, etc and not have anything tied to my electric bill other than the 6 600 watt lamps and the 2 centrifigul fans and an oscillating fan. Its about 4kwh for 12 hours a day. I wont have all the lights on from the beginning until the plants get big. Ill only have them all on for about 2 weeks for 18 hours a day.

    The electric bill shouldnt exceed 250 a month.
    Its currently 200 and i dont have anything illegal going on.

    are u sure its a life sentence if i get caught? I dont have any criminal record related to drugs so it would be a first offense....


    ---- i looked it up and each plant is considered 100grams regardless of growth stage. So That means that they would say that i had 15 pounds of grass growing which has no mandatory sentence according to the norml website... sounds like fun!

    How do you intend on living without electricity is right? I'd say to leave the 4,000w+ grows to the pros, unless you want to spend some time behind bars. Be careful tenacity, wouldn't want to see any of the City members getting into trouble. The last person on the board to plot, and speak of a large scale grow, dissapeared real fast. He's either high as hell on 50lbs of reefer, or in prison......

    I you go through with this, if you own any firearms AT ALL, get them out of the apartment. They would nail you really hard if you were caught with both. Good Luck.

    Aye, careful buddy. I know in my state, getting caught with less than 10 plants can put you in jail for 15 years. I imagine 70 plants would be something like 50 years at least. In my old criminal justice book, they told about a guy who got arrested selling 9 ounces to a cop. He got the maximum 20 years for possession of 9 ounces and then got the maximum 20 years for selling. 40 years in jail for 9 ounces of weed. He appealled his case on the grounds of cruel and unusual punishment and lost at the supreme court level. He probably had priors.

    Without priors with 70 plants, 20 years would be my guess but that is a completely wild guess. I have no realistic idea of what the sentence would be. That would depend on your jury and your judge.

    Please be careful, that is a big risk. With a budget and operation that large, I would take it somewhere off-site, somewhere in the middle of nowhere... 70 plants will give you a lot of cashflow if all goes well.
    But if you get caught, all you will be saying is "What the fuck was I thinking?"

    Best of luck to you friend. Seems like you are doing SOG with that setup so at least it won't be a 5 month grow.
    I'm really pulling for you to make it through ok, you big ballin OG you. You, sir, will be one rich motherfucker if you pull it off.

    ya thats a huge, and IMO a stupid risk. but hey, thats up to you. Id love to see some pics of this if you do get it up and going

    thanks for your input everyone.
    First off, my electric bill currently is at 200 a month. When all this is going on, I am NOT living on site so i dont need a fridge. I plan on making trips once every 2 weeks since i plan to have an automated watering system.

    My bill is going to linger between 170 and 250 and maybe only one month will actually hit 250 since i dont plan on having 6 600 watts illuminating when they are seedlings or even 1 ft tall. When they really start bushing out, ill have all 6 on for maybe a week or two max. From there i bring it down to 12/12.

    IF my bill right now is 200+, they should already be suspciious and they havent come knoickin on heavens door... so fuck the risk. there is no risk. 200 a month with me here or 200 a month with illegal shit, why would i think their interpretation would change in 3 months?

    You should be checking your plants daily or every other day at the least, not every other week. Even if you use a drip system and a timer, what if the timer fails, and your plants get no food or water. That's something you need to adress within a day. If 2 weeks passes it could be too late and all your plants and money would be wasted....

    70 plants is gonna stiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiink and your doing this in an apartment?! scrubber or not you got balls if your really gonna do this.. i personally think its a horrible idea. but good lcuk man and may 'god' have mercy on your life.

    mayne u guyz are pussies... Life is nothing without taking risks. If you dont jump off that plane, you can never say u went skydiving. Sure you can die, but if you take multiple emergency parachutes, what can go wrong?

    Imma make the jump, imma conquer the horizon, and imma str8 up succeed because i know my ingenuity when it comes to stuff like this always prevails.

    Im not drawing attention nor am i being suspicious. My neighbors are all potheads and my apartment is a smokehouse for all my friends and I. I highly doubt my neighbors will be able to distinguish growing green from a fatty blunt. AFterall, ive grown 8 plants already in this very same apartment.

    Yah its an apartment... its sketch. theres definelty alot of gray area to worry bout, but with the proper tools, anythings possilbe. Most people have this fear that plagues them from doing things like this for their entire life. Lets just say, im fearless, because I know that every perspective will be analyzed and maticulously constructed to optimize stealth. No light leaks, no smelly odors causing suspicion, etc... Electricity is going to remain at a constant consumption and with the onset of summer, everyone's gunna get a/c s in their windows. I will too but i just wont have it on! My mommy always told me i was a smarty pants for my own good ;)

    Sounds like you got it all figured out. Only problem is, every single person sitting in jail right now for cultivation also thought they had it figured out, not one of them went ahead with their grow thinking there were going to get busted. Are you really, really that sure you are so much smarter than all those folks who also had it all figured out and got busted anyway?

    Smarts doesn't always win the day, sometimes blind luck deals a bum hand. In an apartment you are not secure. I don't care what you think your lease says, your landlord can enter without your permission if he thinks life or property is in peril. All it takes is a pipe to burst behind a wall, a stupid neighbor to leave a lit cigarette, someone to spot a mouse, and you can have maintenance people or subcontractors coming into your apartment. Your lease might even have some obscure language in it by which you have already granted permission for the utility companies and such to have access.

    Seventy plants -- so how will you get all the supplies in there unnoticed? Odor will be an issue, it can seep through walls and reek up the apartment next door.

    And you're worried about how to order a lot of seeds?

    As for what could go wrong with multiple parachutes -- you could die, it happens all the time.

    If you don't get busted then you will get ripped off. Have you noticed that not one person has posted on here in support of your plan, but about a dozen have warned you against it? There is wisdom in the masses please listen.

    why dont you just buy the seeds you wanna grow and use moms for clones, even tho 70 is a lot of plants, getting that many clones is easy with just a couple moms.
