Twelve 1000 watt lights in a 15 x 20 ft room flowering 150 or so 3 foot plants.

Your electric will cost about $1000 a month

Good luck

i have quite a bit of space to do something with if i had the right assistance but i dont know much about growing and dont think i could learn enuff to pull it off just by reading up on here.

You wouldn't need anywhere near 12 lights - 6 lights to start would get you there easily (assuming you have a triple digit IQ), and once you're dialed in you could do it with 5 lights, if you've got any talent.

12000 watts... 150 plants wtf why would you be doing all that.

4000 watts 4-5 plants 2 month veg vertical lighting for flowering and hydroponics. 6-8 foot plants. If you want so see how easy it is to do look up M Blaze he grows trees indoors which is imo the best way to do it. A perpetual grow really puts you over the top timewise with the trees.

30 plants. Four 3 gallon pots, two 5 gallon pots. Outdoors (cold, wet, rainy july). 2 lbs cured. Could have been 5+ if all plants were in 5 galons and were LST.

seems like if youre gonna invest that much in growing you could just rent a little place in the country, build a privacy fence and not use any unnatural lighting at all
