my question to everyone here is- how big is too big? where do you draw the line on watts with your grow and why?

i've seen a couple people disappear off of these boards directly after discussing their upcoming new-and-improved expanded 3000+ watts grow. i'm posting this thread in hopes of starting a dialog on the subject, so that growers that take the time to read the discussion can leave with a better idea of where to stop when those ideas of grandeur start taking hold, and thus maybe save some people from a premature 'retirement'.

This doesnt take much experience to figure out but I would have to say if you want to do something on a large scale get a generator. aside the fact that running diesel is cheaper anyways (this I know because out summer house runs on generators) and also that way you dont have an electric bill . yes obviously generators have an up front cost which canbe a rather lareg one depending on the kind you want but you can als o buy used as well. and aside the fact that if you are truely setting up something that large you should have the money to buy a generator anyways. hoep this is helpful, I think this is a restriction free way to grow
