1. As many lights as possible (maybe 5 or 6 1000W sealed hoods)
2. Hydro, NFT
3. CO2 injection (1800 ppm)
4. A/C unit for cooling
5. Music for the plants
6. good air circulation
7. Mylared everything
8. custom built aerocloners
9. "cycle" growing, like Zandor says... say, harvest every 30 days
10. Networked camera so it snaps pictures every 1 hour... will make nice movie at the end.
11. Computer controlled pH up/down system
12. RO + DI water filters

And...
13. Gas turbine generator... using propane to generate my power needs.

If you want links to my dream equipment, let me know... I've got them bookmarked.

Dude don't forget
Cap Extreme 1 controller you will need one for veg room and one for flower room. You will also need dehumidifier and good fogger to raise the humidity. CO² generator propane version, Tank CO² for your automatic Ph control

Large air movers to cool the lights and large exhaust fans to exchange the air in the sealed room for CO² cycling.

That stuff is about 1/3 or more of your budget.

That's pretty much it. The other stuff you can find in your typical store (for growing, not on Walgreens).

I'm planning on growing my current plants, then, if possible, for my next cycle, I'd like to install a 5,000 BTU a/c unit to my box, plus the CAP controller Zandor and me like a lot. That should make it nice.

The great thing about that controller is it controls everything!!!!!

The only thing it does not control is the Ph and Nutrients. You can get some PH control from Milwaukee instruments. They make a Ph controller for fish that uses tank CO². The cost is not bad either you can get the whole setup for around 250.00 bucks or so.

[Garden Knowm]

there are automatic PH and automatic nutrient machines.. they are called dosers..

American Hydroponics and others make them.. They are freaking awesome

A pump constantly brings Resivoir water past sensors which constanly check the PH and PPM.. when it gets off a bit, the doser drops a little Nutrients or some PH down..

They are NICE!!!!!!!!

Turtle, even you could grow succesfully if you had one of these!

i love you

(don't know if the link will connect directly to the product...)
Your Price: $1,449.95 per Each

As to even me being able to grow, yes... the doser will enable that. In the mean time, Garden, you better keep an eye out for my thread... and you better post suggestions/comments. If not, I'll blame any and all of my problems on the lack of your input.
