Read, and or find someone you really trust and well trust someone.....otherwise you can always start small and experiment. Get an LEd and an HPS , a bag of soil and some coco.....maybe a waterfarm or some other off the shelf item and compare for yourself. You are diving into a world with many variables and well opinions are like assholes....

I am definitely seeing a lot of that... the hard thing is theres alot of pressure you know what I mean and so much to learn I would just hate to lose to much while learning but I guess that's what the hired more experienced help will come in ....im just trying to minimize the gamble of it all as I'm learning id prefer the first harvest not to be a disastrous learning lesson

Starting small is good advice for anything you plan on making a business. If you invest a bunch of money into something you don`t understand you are raising the risk.
As a welder first and a glass blower second....having tried to run businesses doing both I know now that you should be adept at what you do before trying to make a business out of it. Otherwise once again you need to hire someone that can fill that role and even then you are still gambling. If you really want to to make a business you need to learn it yourself and learning takes experience.

your first harvest wont be a disaster, if someone else grows it for you,, not meaning to sound funny ,,,,,,,why don't you go into a hydroponics grow shop and ask anyone if thell come to look at your space and help set it up, and offer them a bit of money,,,? For there time

You guys forgot one variable: capital expenditure To get a LED that puts out less heat and more light than HPS you have to spend a lot more money. You can get a bare bones 1000W hps for $150! Unless you have a special requirements like a stealth cab, you're off the grid, or you want the best buds regardless of price then go with HPS because it is still king for bang/buck.

If you're asking this question, you need to hire a master grower / competent consultant or better to just dump your startup capital through the paper shredder and save yourself some headaches.
