Theoretical question. How much space?

[yum114]

I figure if an individual wanted to flower 20LB dried 1 gram per watt would be a cool way to look at, right?
If so, 10,000 Watts for flowering.
What would be the best way to achieve this goal. How many plants if grown well, and what would be a comfortable amount of space to work with to achieve this?
I'm sure the individual does NOT want to work with 100s of plants less plants, bigger in size.
Something like an ebb and flow perpetual
Veg would be in seperate space. All I'm concerned with is flowering details

Lights: 10,000W good?
Space: ???
Setup: Ebb and grow setup. How many plants would be ideal? Something like girl scout cookies

to get the most out of it

u want DWC .........look at the undercurrent systems
1 plant 26 oz 22 grams in 110 days it took up a whole 4x4x6 tent used just 600w light once i cut it down some i put in a 1000w

that was a natural untrained plant

pics of the buds next to a lighter for size ref

so to make 20lbs .u will need to do a SCRoG using RDWC .........the size 22 x 22 x 8
4x4 for the plant that is 5 plants in a 20x4 range so u can get 25 plants in there like that with 2 foot to use for walk paths.......i would make it 6 feet extra

You believe that a RDWC would be better than going an ebb and grow type setup?
I also want this to be perpetual. That 3 months, was from seed/clone to finish? or did you actually flower for 3 months?

i do auto flowering plants the light leaking and all that is something i need a major grow room to control correctly

yes i 100% know a RDWC will do better then ebb and flow
just change the air stone to micro pores and the air pump to be over kill......that plant had both of those things and i showed u the root ball it had actually grown under it and pulled into the root ball i had to cut it out


ebb and flow is nice but dwc keeps the roots in the water and the feed letting them go full bore all the time aslong as u keep the water just right ......the larger system and having a mix cell will make it alot easier ..............u just have to worry about PHing it during heavy flowering i would get one of the automatic systems other wise u check 4 to 6 times a day and add ph up

i do autos so that was 110 days from seed to cutting it down ..........it allows me to run mutli strains a year most of them are shorter then 110 days 76 is my avg

Whats a good pre made RDWC setup?
I really don't want to have to deal with drilling and everything involved with making one myself.

I figure 2 plant scrog screens under each 1k Watt light for a total of 20 plants in flower
Each 2x plant setup in a 4x4 space(each plant getting about 2x4 ft of space)?

Your 20lb dream room will never come true with this mentality.

If you want to be in the 99 percentile of indoor growers you have to do whatever it takes.

Which I can completely understand. BUT if there is a prebuilt system that works, why not make use of it, unless.... there aren't any available that work well. By your logic, should I also make my own nutes, build my own lights, and wire my own electricity if I know how to do so safely(instead of paying an electrician to do it for me). The point that I am making is. If I am willing to pay for a system, and there is one that works well, who is to say that me building this system would do any good for me other than saving some money?
I am willing to do what it takes to get this going and do so correctly, but why put MORE effort into something, than need be, if the outcome does not depend on the extra effort?

Maybe. I do, except build lights, not sure what you mean.

You make valid points, but like I said the mentality of I "don't want to."
