I am new to growing but plan on begining very shortly and I figure if im goning to do it I will do it big. I was wondering what kind of space and how many 1,000 W HPS will i need to pull 10 pounds a month. Also if you could give me a rough estimate of the total cost for a set up like this that would be greatly apperciated.

I'm in the same boat here. My space is about 14x30. Trying to put 15-20 plants into flowering every 4 weeks with around 9 or 10 1000 watt'ers will hopefully hit 10 lbs per month. Doing it all legally, too - so not worried about anything but not killing my plants! So scared to hurt them
We average about 10-15 lbs every 2 - 2.5 months in a 20 x 40 area with 8000w hps. (Not all space is used, about 2/3s) at our collective grow. sour diesel yeild almost 2 lbs per 1k watts.
Pulling a pound per light every month is doable but not easy. Your gonna have to get your set up dialed in first. Defietly wouldn't start that big if u haven't grown before unless u have someone experienced to help u the whole way thru. Unless u wanna waste a lot of money.

You are talking one hell of an operation. 8 4'x8' flowering tables in one or more rooms with 3 1K lights per table, a big veg area with lots of plants vegging and at least 16 400w lights, and a big assed clone area with a shitload of clones and several T5 fixtures. Everything on a continuous cycle clone, veg, flower. I very seriously doubt you can do all that by yourself. The easiest way would be soil, then you need a cement mixer for mixing soils, reservoirs for water, and thats not even considering nutes!!!
Thats a pretty tall order for a newbie!! This aint rocket science, but it aint baking a cake either.

youre gonna have to do it as big or bigger than this guy. Honestly, you need probably 30-50k, depending on what you have to work with and where and all that. You are talking about an extreme operation that would take a few full time gardeners to operate. Good luck man.

Good luck with that. If I were you, I would also buy some soap-on-the-rope, so you wont have to bend over too much in the shower when you get busted.
Again, thanks for the post and the laughter it caused.
