To do 6 pounds every three months under 3-4 k watts, genetics is the key.
Why do I seem to be the only one to think $2500 is plant of money to get this sized grow off the ground?
How much are 4 x's 1000k ballasts and hoods and bulbs? That'll be the biggest chunk of change..
Notes aren't much ime.. 5 gallon buckets are under $5 per..
If you're handy you could easily build some tables and what not..
Idk.. but $2500 sounds like plenty of coin to get this sort of thing off the ground IMO..
To all u guys saying do research. I do and always still will. I have more then 2500$ but 2500 is for lights and food, I have been building walls in the basement I have 3 rooms built. 9x12 mother room. And the other 2 rooms are about the same size. I raised the floor 2 inches to get off the concrete. I was thinking 6 1000w hps for the flower room. Is that to much for a 9x12 room?

And Yup..haha. I had three grand two days prior. Bought my daughter a Jeep so now I have no Grand..![]()
If a space is to big I'll put up another wall and make a storage area to handle supplies and tools. I have a big box animal cage type fan with a hepa filter for my air exchanges after the smell is taken care of.
Just got off the phone with my local hydro store. They will sell me 7 Lumatek 1000w air cooled dimmable ballasts with my coupon for 1500 bucks. My sponsor told me to ask if I needed more money. I think I'm gonna need to get like 2g more.

CHEAP 1kw grow light. 225x4 = $1000

8" inline fan, with 4 1k lights you would probably need at LEAST 2, probably more, but I'll say 2. $200 x 2 = $400 up to $800 possibly.

8" filters for those fans $226x2 = $452

big bud (high yield strain) 10 reg seeds $80x 2 + $160

basic nutes from fox farm $50x2 cause its the small bottles = $100
so maybe you guys are right. I guess I didn't think it would buy it all. the total here is $2297 up to $2697 with a fan per light.
if you ran 1x1k in a veg room and 3x1k in a flower room in 5 gal buckets running perpetual you could maybe get 6lbs every 3 months. I dunno if a noob could, I know I definitely couldn't handle a grow that size yet.
U do not have to lst to get big yields. Some of us r knocking out 4 zips a plant with just 3 weeks of veg from rooted clone. Big pots, light management, over the top conditions, proper plant food. Every one grows different, every one has a style that works for them. This is a never say never adventure were all in here. And u do bring up some very good points. As the old saying goes " styles make fights" so u have to choose your opponents according to u, not what others r saying about their chosen grow space.In my 4x4.5 grow spot I am around 1000$ deep and it seems there are always other things I want but don't need. I started with a budget of 600 and keep adding 50 here and 75 there and that shit adds up quick. I have a friend that runs hydro and he spent over 6k on his set up and I think i am going to yield more than him per harvest but he runs perpetual so he gets more crops per year but experience can turn a noobs 3oz harvest into 8oz. You said you don't want to lst and all of that, if you don't train them you will never get your goal unless you go outside and grow.
