Hey bro. I'm thinking of use a room that's basically 8x10 foot. Planning to vert around the walls. Do you think 2 or 3 1000w hanging would be enough....

If your only putting plants on the walls 2 1k's should be sufficient and allow comfortable lamp to plant clearances.
Hang the lamps 3 ft in from the "10'" ends and that leaves 4 ft between the lamps.
Can't wait to check it out if you get it up and running

Not enough light.

Maybe I'll build a shelving system to bring it in a bit and do it 10x5 or something and then at least it be able to walk around and work from both sides. You think two 1000w would work ok?

Just do some basic math. How much distance between a 1000W bare lamp and the plant should you have?
Then think about my recommendation of 2 lamps vs want the crispy plant guy is saying

It's coming into winter down here, so I can easily hang a 1000w in a 4x4 tent. So plants get closer than 2 feet throughout the grow. Having said that, do they need to be that close. That's another question lol.

What I'll do build a frame and attached scrog screen to that and maybe have it so the 1k bulbs are about 2.5-3 max feet away. So may end up with 6x10 of usable space to grow on. Ideally I'd like three 1k bulbs min, but just don't think I'll get away with it just yet. Once I've fitting a new 30amp breaker and wiring to go with it, I should be good to go, but need to wait a while before I do that, due to other reasons at play.

I have 3 1k's in a 5x10 but have them on staggered timers. 1 comes on for 6 hours, then the other 2 come on and that one goes out for the remainder of the 12 hour cycle.
You could play around with light timing like that too if breaker load is an issue

My old 'Super Silo' design consisted of four trellis panels, 6' tall by 4' wide, each bent along the tall axis into a vertical quarter round shape.

This made a cylinder 6' tall and about 5' diameter. I hung a 1kW HPS lamp about 18" from the bottom and another one 18" below the top. I ran one plant per trellis and usually got 2-3lbs per run. If I had to do it over again I'd run a lot more plants so as to reduce veg times and maximise the canopy. Might be able to pull 4lb that way, from a 5'x5' footprint.

It was a bitch to train plants inside the silo, time consuming and the lights were hot and dangerous. Shutting them off meant working in relative darkness.

Vertical LED meant no more round silos, more room to work and thus better productivity. Flat trellis panels fit into square rooms better as well.

I've yet to see it in person but a guy down the road used Samsung strips and drivers on extruded aluminum and basically made all 4 walls and the ceiling of a plywood "tent" lit like a circus. To do 2 vertical screens in. He has just enough room to turn each one daily built on furniture dollies. Waiting for him to let us see.

The guy who's helped him says he built two things like ant farms with a plant sandwiched in each one. Plastic netting in a frame.

Absolutely serious.

I'm even in Colorado and have a valid reason for everything they found, including a medical card.

The bottom line is that if they can't get a conviction, they'll just resort to lawfare.

Look it up, it's an excellent term for describing the current situation in the States.

Lawfare is no joke, some legal states are making an entirely new revenue stream from “green dui’s”. I think the threshold in Washington state is 5ng per ml of thc in your bloodstream. Just watched an episode of weediquite that talks about it

Crazy times hey!
They are using tens and tens of millions of dollars (from tax payers no less) to train extra police the nuances of this difficult task.. from various physiological signs (red eyes, cotton mouth), to heart beats, to blood and saliva work.. like you said.. its quite reeeeediculous!
