My attempt to grow the world's largest plant ever

I currently own a very large warehouse that is not being used at all and have decided to set up a grow with 2 plants. The plants will start off with 400 gallons of worm castings each as well as 250 gallons of perlite. I will start off with fluorescent lights and then gradually add 1000 watt lamps as the plants get bigger, as many as 10 total for each plant. The growing medium will be in a raised bed with plenty of air circulation throughout. I will also have plenty of misters as well as C02 surrounding the plants and plenty of osculating fans.

The plants will be started form seed. Most likely an Arjan's Haze #1 and another strong sativa. Any suggestions are welcome.


I will have a 50 gallon drum for compost tea brewing constantly. And another 50 gallon drum for a second mixture.
My nutrients will consist of the following.
AN Connissuer A&B
AN VooDoo Juice
AN Trantula
AN Piranha
AN Sensizym
AN Rhinoskin
AN CarboLoad
AN Bud Candy
AN Big Bud
AN H-1
AN H-2
AN Final Phase
Maxi Crop
and
Molasses

Legal by prop 215 and sb 420. Any and all suggestions are welcome.

I plan to grow these plants to at least 100 feet, with a yield expectancy of 50-75 pounds off each

largest plant ever grown indoors? Because even with 10,000 watts you are not going to equal the light of the sun.

I look forward to seeing how this works out though ;]

Sorry, didnt read the bottom part... Genetics will not let a pot plant get to 100' tall. Sorry...

100 feet was just a random number. I more want them to yield as much as possible, and getting as large of cola as possible

I like the enthusiasm, but I don't think the numbers are going to work out that well.

I think most growers are satisfied if they consistently pull down 1 gpw with a 1000w. A great grower, using high yielding strains that he/she has perfected, could hit 1.5 to 2.0.

Right now you are estimating:

@50LBs 2.24 gpw
@75 3.36 gpw

I don't think you can hit that.

Logistically I think you'll have problems adequately lighting, feeding, and most importantly, providing adequate air circulation through this monster.

I'm going to love watching you try though. Good luck, man. Fuck the numbers, be a record breaker!

He said he's going to add multiple 1000w lights as needed, not one 1000w light so you're numbers are not accurate. Not bashing, just pointing out an error dude. I'm really interested to see how something like this would go so I'll sub.

Get some pics of the warehouse up, we're all chomping at the bit here...

heck yeah, at the dallas aquaium they have monster tropical plants all over the place under 1000hps. i was thinking of how sweet of a set up that could be. sounds like a dream setup if you can get your hvac dialed in. 2 huge monster plants with 1000hps lamps hitting them from every angle. i'll watch.

Did you check the math, or did you just bash it?

28 grams in an ounce.
16 ounces in a pound.
448 grams in a pound.

So I used 10,000 watts in my calculation.

He also said:

So

448 x 50 = 22,400 grams. Divide that by 10,000 watts, and you get 2.24 grams per watt.
448 x 75 = 33,600 grams. Divide that by 10,000 watts, and you get 3.35 grams per watt.

If my math is wrong anywhere I would like to see it corrected. I don't claim to be a math genius but I can punch buttons on a calculator.
