8x40 build out Reefer Madness.
Posted: Thu Jul 12, 2018 7:28 pm
Good afternoon everyone!
I am working with several growers in North and South Carolina under the industrial hemp umbrella. We are running greenhouses and several traditional indoor grows to start our clones for out planting. I just received a old reefer (53ft tractor trailer) with working AC unit (not road worthy, but how cool would a mobile grow unit be!). The first 13 feet will be a double tier veg area, small propagation shelf, work space and misc gear area (co2 pump, grow monitor units). The rest will be a flower room. This is more of a fun adventure so I am down to experiment (instead of just copying out a 4x4 or a 4x6 build out to fill the trailer).
Note: Since we are only growing CBD dominant strains (Cherry, Boax, Auto II etc) I have noticed they never tend to get as large as a THC heavy sister.
I am looking at running QB288 stacked at 1x per 4x4 grow space or 20 for the flower room with a single line of vertically hanging back to back strips down the center line and 1 line of vertical strips down each side wall (I love supplemental side lighting). Would like to grow out 20-40 girls per cycle. I have never tried this before so well see how it goes!
I am really happy with the current QB288 and QB132's we are running now in the clone finishing room but I have never attempted to build out an area this big!
Any suggestions, comments and critiques would be much appreciated! Hit me with everything you got.
Best,
jay
