First indoor grow - Tips? (2 years outside grow exp)

Hey everyone
I am a caregiver/ patient w/ 1 patient, and up till now Ive only done outside grows. First one was not great, I didnt know anything, didnt groom, didnt train, got like 1.5 lbs for maybe 8 plants? This year I did an outdoor Scrog with 24 plants in a 10x20 greenhouse (pretty crowded lol) (pics attached) I did lose 2 guys to phytoplasma but such as life..
I have been given an opportunity to take on max patients and access to an indoor grow area. Ive been doing a lot of research into techniques, cloning, light needed, etc and was looking for any opinions on whats the BEST way to get the most from whats available.

1st Room is about 10x12ft
4x1000w HPS bulbs

2nd Room is about the same size
4 hoods with 1000w MH
Ventilation throughout

My question is, I have a benchmark I'm trying to hit - about 50lbs a year.
Is this possible with 72 plants?

I want to do a SOG system for fast turn around and less training needed. And also get a perpetual harvest going
Thinking of doing either 36/36 veg/flower
or
24/24/24 root/veg/flower
Will monster cropping flowering clones work with such short veg times? Ive read it greatly increases yield, but at the cost of time.
Would it be possible to just keep monster cropping each time, essentially making my mother harvest my lowest yield-all further plants from flowered clones?
What is the difference in yield compared to veg clones?

I am also looking into hydro systems and Co2 systems - Really ANYTHING that will max yields

What do you guys recommend? Should I SOG, should I try and take up more room with topping/LST? Does it matter/ (From what Ive read its all about surface area and usable light, number of plants doesnt really matter to an extent)
How true is the 1g/watt expectation? I know its not like you can stick 1 plant under 4 lights and get 9lbs off of it lol

Any tips would be appreciated, Thanks All

I don't recommend care giving at all unless your making good money from them. Especially if you don't have indoor experience. If you are just giving them weed for free in exchange for plant count then I advise against it. Fuck them and fuck the law, just grow however many plants you need to and don't show anyone. If your crop goes under, they will still expect to be paid for no input. Seen it happen way too many times.

Your outdoor plants look great. Why not do a 72 every year and tell them they get 3 plants in exchange? I honestly don't think they even deserve that unless investing. 1/g a watt is possible and usually takes longer veg with a scrog or high plant counts with SOG.

Lets just say if I can hit those numbers with whats available it would be worth it to me. So i guess just from a objective/growing standpoint and not a business standpoint is what im looking for. Is it possible and what should be done to achieve that.

You want some one to figure out a 1/g a watt grow for you so you can cash out from some one else's experience when you don't even know its possible or where to start. Good luck with everything and welcome to RIU.

I was just looking for advice, but thanks

Of course it's possible your running 8 lights what does Berner stay rapping about getting 2 paks a light all day

Ive read SOG can yield about 500g/m2 is that accurate? Does Monster cropping work with such a short veg time? Ill have to figure out the best way to cycle the root/veg/flower periods

Yah you have to find this renfro guy on here his thread is something like 12 plants 40 lbs lol he's set up is a trip

Hello everyone. I'm new and have started my first grow.
Indoors, basement.
I might have overreached when I got 6 seeds and they gave me 3 free ones.
Well, I now have 8 plants. 3 autos, 5 photo.
This led to building grow rooms, more lights, ventilation etc etc.
I purchased 400 W full spectrum LED from California Lightworks. Can anyone tell me if it's enough light to flower them all?

You learn to grow by growing. Enjoy the journey, answer your questions and best of luck.
PS why would 2 people (you and your 'patient') need 50lb/year?
