This is actually an idea I was running through my head, but being as I have 0 duct working experience I fear I may just mess things up worse for the house lol.
Yes you heard right, its actually roughly 6.4k per room, we are still working on the layouts so we have maneuver rooms to inspect the plants and do hand work. I am leaning towards home made smart pots with either subs SS mix or Revs TLO mix (Ive run the TLO before with good results) with blumats for daily water maintenance and hand watering for the innoculant teas and ferting.
As far as destroying the house I do not know what you mean other than the basic construction which he wants done, it was the investors idea that my partner and I use HIS personal house that he and his family just moved out of since its still 1/2 of its value and he also doesn't want it just sitting as this town is notorious for squatters. He wants to upgrade the house before he sells it, so our ultimate goal as a team is going to be use this house for 2 yrs, fix it up with him and sell it. He said he will even give us a cut of the sales price for helping him fix it up to sell quality, I am a licensed custom marble & granite company owner, my partner is a co-owner of a glass company and owner of a cleaning/porter service, the investor owns a drywall and painting company, only thing we are missing is a licensed electrician.
I missed at first that it was an investor/partners house. Thought maybe it was a rental. What I meant about destroying it was mainly the moisture. There will be a metric shit-ton of water inside that house. Suppose that could be managed if you're doing sealed rooms and dehuey's, but it doesn't sound like that's the plan.
Take my comments with a grain of salt because I've never run anything close to that large. But 24k is going to generate a lot of heat. You'll have to move a lot of hot, moist air out of the house and I don't see how. Underground is the only thing that comes to mind and that's not usually an option in a populated area (assuming that since you have to keep up appearances to neighbors), as others have said trying to go into the sewer is problematic.
I don't know, but I hope you come up with something I'd be interested to hear how the other house got shut down. Investor get spooked or did it get caught?
They'll still be able to see the signature of that 1000 degree lamp itself...even if the room is kept 70.
I guess if you're running sealed environments your best bet would be to use IR block reflectix on the ceilings/walls... and use those IR blocker material "covers" for your reflectors.
This investor must have one massive budget in mind.
No, I'm sorry, but that's flat out wrong. You cannot see a heat spot through a wall. Plenty of vids of IR cams, particularly on police choppers, that will back that up. Lots of threads here on it.
I have heard of others venting the lights into their furnace/AC return duct so it defuses it into the hole house.
Do not do this. 2400 sq ft, you could get away with 2-3kw flower diffusing through the house before you have moisture problems. 6kw much less 20kw waaayyy too much moisture it needs to be removed from the structure.
EDIT: If you're talking just the lights you'll get further, but nowhere near 20kw the whole house will be glowing (on IR) hot.
Also, Sir_Syzurp, getting (I'd say buy but rent works) a hand-held IR camera will be well worth it, although I think you're nowhere near a workable idea to manage 20+kw of heat, yet.
