12 lbs per month

I'm going to have to go inside to be more secure and was wondering what kind of set ups any of you guys run that allows you to get on average 10-12 lbs per month?

I know strain is a pre determined variable but what I'm thinking of doing is having 4 strains and and using the mothers to clone enough to run 4 different stadium set ups. All on hydro and have bare bulbs on light movers to cover a little more space than a stationary bulb.
I already have 3 1000 watt solistek ballast and a 600 watt over some mothers. I'm thinking I need at least 8 -1000 ballast and all the necessary hardware to accompany it. Prob have 11,000 watts to produce that many lbs start to finish by the time you are in all the little things like pumps, t-5's etc
I need to be as low key as I can due to a rat in the woodpile. So I was thinking of using one of those quite generators hooked up to my propane system I have.
I'm not in town but their are nosey neighbors a mile up the road who like to stop by and gossip about everybody.

What kind of set ups for any of you all who pull in that amount per month? Any ideas or things that you have tried and didn't work?

6000-8000 watts should be more than enough to do 12 pounds. 3-4 5x10 or 4x8 beds would be the space you're looking at.

Thanks, I don't really run too much inside. If I'm inside it's usually keeping up mothers for my greenhouse and outside gorilla spots. When I do flip one it's usually just a plant or 2. So I'm not familiar on just how much space is needed. I've already got one stadium built that's 6.5' wide x 8' long with the end of it as part of the stadium as well. The way I figure it I could cram well over 150 plants in it on 6" centers. I guess I need to flower some little guys at 6" tall to see how many grams each strain could hit normally. And how much stretch at 6" tall.
I do know with my present skills starting with 2' ft plants in 10 gal pots of soil would be much easier but don't think I could hit my yield mark that I need to have.

So you think just going with 3 rooms of 5x10 at 2000 watts a piece would hit my mark pretty easily?
If so I'd think I'd like to do that instead so I can cut down on expense and headache. I might get by on being on direct current as well if I flip each room at 12's so it's a steady constant current.

12 lbs a month? I'd say you need a 12, 1000 watt d,e light flower room.. 6 lights should hit 12 lbs each month , possibly more but maybe less.. it just depends.
I was talking per cycle so 2 months, would definitely need to double up for monthly output. I agree.

I'm in the final stages of creating a system that will push a pound a day from 100A in 1000 sq ft. I'm including everything, too; aisles, veg, finish rack, trim and curing areas.
~10k watts or on 240v so closer to 20k?

6 kilo amonth is 20,000w in 3 flower rooms or 1 big flower room and 1 room fot veg /cloning

Each room of flower is 6000w

Each 3 weeks a patch will go out from the veg room to one of the flower rooms.

Or just have one big flower room and divide it to 3 parts.

Each 3 weeks you chop chop and dry for 1 week

So here you have your 6 klio exactly each 4 weeks.
