I have been growing for around 25 years and I use to maintain several grow houses around 15 years ago until one of them got robbed and I lost about $150,000 from it and with a kid on the way I decided to give up on the large scale stuff. I usually do one crop a year for friends and the wifey. I keep it as organic as possible. I start with promix and add about 150lbs of worm castings,then I mix in a compost I make then add several types of bat guano and kelp meal. I add perlite until it's how i want it plus several cups of lime both fine and granulated. After I fill my beds I let it sit for about a month while I veg. During veg i have them in small pots under a 1000 watt super hps. I use pots at first to keep the electric bill and heat down since I can get them all under a 1000 watt raised up. Depending on the strain i usually don't have to add to much during flowering unless it's needed in which i use teas i make. This go around I'm doing king banner,wedding cake,Fraco's cheese,and gelat.og. For years I've been using my own strains from the many crosses I've made in the past but decided on some newer strains to breathe some fresh life into my old stuff.
I only grow in the winter that way I can control temp better and it helps warm my house that way my electric bill doesn't spike.
