the amount of time depends on when you flower and the strain. for lighting you want to use HID lighting for large yields and aim for 10,000 lumens per mature plant and als be aware of the size area the light you buy is meant for covering cause you can only grow as many plants that fit in that space. There isnt a math formula for achieving a certain yield (I wish there was IM a physics guy) but 10 plants should get you a pound for sure. A 1000W light system would probably do a good job for that amount of plants, of course if the plants take up too much space you will have problems. Also you want to rotate the plants around so they dont all hang on the edges all the time. If you dont care too much about sacrificing potency topping is a good method that will increase yield on many strains, however I have read it can decrease potency. I only topped my bagseed clone. I dont know what you plan to grow but I recommend ordering seeds because youu know what you're getting, how bigh the plant will get, what type of yield and high and how long to flower. good luck
