So in wa state i am a caregiver i can legaly have 30 plants whats the best light setup for maximum emptiness space and also yeild. Im thinking 600s or 1000s. 7 1000? 4 plants a light? any suggestions
exactly the same question as yesterday. were the answers you recieved yesterday not good enough? yesterday it was 6 1000w lights and 10 600w today that has changed. are you fishing , or full of shit. I am not sure. as a supposed care giver , does your state not require you to know what you are doing? p/s at 10 amps per light you will draw more than 1/3rd of the max amperage the house is wired for just running the lights. you still have fans and other assorted growing devices to plug in. with that draw on a standard 200 amp service, running things like the stove and the dryer with the lights could be a fire hazard. houses were not designed to be grow factories and oh yea be prepaired for a 500 dollar a month power bill.
yeah yesterday i felt like the question was wrong so i re wrote it... Running a 400 amp box so no worries. This is all planing not in action just planing.
why would you need to grow 30 at a time when you could grow assembly line and use a lot less light and power. 2 1000 watt lights. 1 mh 1 hps. divide your area in half. vegging and bud. keep 8-10 plants in each. as the plant is harvested another takes its place. you will also need to setup a seperate rooting area as i assume most will start as clones. i use this setup and grow 3 plants in each box. i get between 6 and 8 ounces of fresh bud every 8 weeks. with ten plants you could easily reach 20-30 ounces per harvest.
i gotta look into a light mover. i would like to fill my cabinet. it has room for 4 full sized plants. but that would mean more lighting and i am not sure i want to do that yet.
This guy i know made his own with some 2 by 4s and a pulley system, super easy and much cheaper than adding light
