I have an area in an old shop that I have been messing with for a few years now. I'm almost completed to actually start using it to what I intended.
Here are the room sizes that I made and intended uses.

Room 1. 5' wide x16' long use for vegging out clones

Room 2. 4' wide X 6' long use this area for cloning Or have a 55 gallon drum of nutes to water the flower room

Room 3. 11'4" long x 6'8" wide. going to be my flower room. Going with verticle bare bulbs and a stadium design with 5 levels.

12' x 18' big veg room where I keep mother plants and vegging out additional plants for outdoor use in my greenhouse. Been using this room for a while now doing just this and cloning in homemade clone machines.



I already have around 40 ready to go into the stadium right now as I don't want them very tall with another 50 or so that will be ready to go in around 3 weeks. I'm going to provide a pretty steady supply of clones to my flower room to have a perpetual garden. I'm going to cover the walls in double bubble in the 3 smaller rooms as I like how it reflects much better than flat white paint.
Would much rather have concrete floors but I have white 6 mil plastic down to cover the bare dirt to keep moisture out and weeds from growing. Lol
Going to run 3 1000 watt solis tek eletronic ballast with bare bulbs on a light mover. Hoping to pull around .6 grams per watt starting out and build up to respectable numbers when I start getting everything dialed in.
I veg with several 600 watt bulbs but looking to get more led and see how that goes. I've flowered some and didn't like it but was good with veg in a small space.

Looking to have something more stable than just relying on mother nature. She's been angry and has taken a good amount of plants this spring season from me.

IMO: First and formost you need to secure the building

using Sudense carpet(soil) for a floor don't work

cement that sucker down

but first install several shower like drains, to drain out your excess

you will also need to treat it like a lab, meaning being to hose /water blast the floor, roof and all walls is a big plus

depending on your grow method and experience, you need to expect the plants will 3x-4x the size come mid bud

the big room is for that

the medium for the vegging

the other for whatever

lighting is the same, expect lighting costs in the bud room to exceed 60% of your light budget

30% on the vegging lights 10% on clones and moms

a commercial heater and cooler along with similar venting is a must

you need to keep a good eye on costs

above all

'how many plants do you need to sell/grow' to break even?

never underesitmate the space required to dry and store

an office is good, a toking lounge with one door is a must

good luck

With that much btu's being thrown around I would look into a ground source geo-thermal,energy recovery system.:idea:

In recent years residential technology has seen a jump in growth, with more manufacturers and massive incentive programs being available all the time.
These systems ratio of output to input efficiency is incredible and relatively maintenance free. The system recovers heat and turns it directly into usable electrical energy:shock:. As well as free cooling from ground source glycol closed loop systems. There are a variety of designs and options to meet most geological requirements for system installation.
Just a thought:peace:
