I call this grow Shakedown street, that phrase reminds me of my experience in life. We are here for a good time not a long time as my cousin would say....
After much hard work and a few harvests later I have decided to post pics of our current grow. I think that it is possible to do this solo but it is nice to have a grow partner, someone you can really trust.
The grow space is a converted barn with 10,600 watts of HID power.There are 6 1000 watt lamps over 2 and 1/2 trays and then there are 8 600 watters including 2 stealth tubes for a bit of a middle aisle action and 2 other trays.There are 3 100 gallon resovoirs with two pumps in each, one to flood the tray and one to move the water inside the rez for better air flow.The vegetation room is powered with a 1000 watt lamp and an old school 400 watt hanger both over two 4 by 8 tray. The Electric cable was routed underground from a neighbors house with their permission. The barn is surrounded by winery's and cows and is a nice area. I would call this current grow unethical and experimental. I know that I have learned a lot just working the room. For example I knew that we would be starting with well water at 360 ppm and I freaked and bought the RO filter. Come to find out marijuana plants love the well water. Perhaps because of all the calcium, never have had it checked.
All the plants are 4 weeks into flower and harvest is 4/18/09. The nutes that we use right now are advanced nutrients micro and bloom along with Open Sesame, Cha Ching and Liquid Kool Bloom. The Strawberry cough x Deep Chunk has stayed at 1400 ppm or more the whole flower time. As a matter of fact all the plants have and it is virtually impossible to burn them with the well water. The plants are just way healthy!!
Strains that are in this room include Purple Kush, Superglue, Strawberry Cough X Deep Chunk , Black Domina , Hindu Kush , Trainwreck, Durban Diesel, and a few others. The reason for so many strains is that we are in Norcal and we run into new genetics everyday from friends and the clubs.
We would like to evolve this room into a sealed C02 situation with the Sentinel Controller and all. I bet this room could harvest 14 Pd's or more if we put in 120 of the same plant and had co2. Ive gotta say that fact alone is really exciting for us to see what this could be made into with creative thinking and good karma!
Right now we expect a 10 pd harvest. We are both working professionals and dont have a lot of time to spend on the room as we would like.

The Grow , notice the two cooltubes set in the middle between the trays, we hand water those plants.
