Tips for warehouse renting/growing

I can't guarantee every case, but the prompting for inspections comes as a result of getting the business license. No license, no inspections, in most cases anyway.

even if its for business, it depends on the state. the 2 states i have experience with, ONLY came in to inspect when we first moved in. never saw them again in the years there

If your in a medical state be up front with the landlord.
I have a friend that subleases space in a building. He had someone wanting to rent space from him for a hydroponic grow and he turned them down thinking what the landlord would say about it.
When he told the landlord that he turned them down the reply from the landlord was.
You should have rented it to them! Grows have the money to pay the rent and they make no trouble.

Most people I know that do warehouses do it in car trailers. Usually two 20 footers or so and about 6 lights in each.

My plan is to get a small warehouse $1600 lease to own (no landlord worries) and stick a 16" cube van (5 lights) Plug it into a 40 amp stove plug and if you have to move the van just unplug it and go especially with yearly fire safety inspections

Regardless, if your going big you don't wanna be in dirt. Not sure why you posted this in the dirt section.


hydro in a remote grow? whuh happa if a pump breaks or the power goes out for a day and it takes too long to get there mang? crop failure. that won't happen in soil.

to each his own i guess.

actually the building itself will get inspected yearly in addition to if you start a business. they check the fire extinguishers etc.

Personally I've tried soil, pro-mix, and hydro on large scale and the easiest to maintain was the hydro. You knew exactly what was going into all the plants by simply monitoring the rez. Granted I only ran two strains at most at any given time in my flower rooms.

If you plan on doing like 10+ different strains at the same time I would go with a dirt setup. Instead of running a bunch of different rez's.

When it comes to hydro/soil its a regional thing. Here most guys will use ProMix hp/Sunshine#4. There are hydro growers but id' say 80% of hydro growers use rockwool/flood and drain. Abput 8 years or earlier people locally use to grow with 5gal buckets or lots of hydroton/drip systems.

I know several people with 20-250 light shows that only use dirt/coco with zero problems especially if you are in beds. You can also do auto drip systems with dirt, just need to hook up lines with drippers that a pressure sensitive.

You're right, I just meant that getting the business license was what started that whole chain. No license and they have no reason to start coming, woot!
