Grow room for indoor vegetables

I'm in a non-friendly state, so I'm changing gears to growing vegetables indoors. I have a spider farmer sf4000 and two sf1000s. I grew organic and had good success, but the risk is too high. I was planning on growing tomatoes and if it's feasible, corn year round. I grow corn outdoors but I'm greedy and want to stagger it so I have it all the time. The room I built is climate controlled 9x6 with 10 foot ceilings and solar, so it'll be cheap to run. I figure I can have plenty of plants in there.

My question is, can a larger light like the sf4000 (450 watts) handle an entire room of tomatoes and corn (if feasible) from above? I was hoping I could just hang the big boy and use the smaller 1000s for supplemental light as needed.

It'd come down to cost. If it takes $3 to grow a single tomato. It's a sci-fi movie scene.

Growing food. Stuff that keeps you alive. It's a separate world from cannabis. From fertilizer to the light. Weed is incredibly expensive to grow.

I'd enjoy trying tomatoes. The sister plant to cannabis is okra.


Herbs? Spices? Now we're talking. But enough food to feed yourself. No.

Tomatoes are a lot like weed in their needs but to grow a short and tall plant in the same space. That doesn’t seem like a great plan but you might figure it out with a little research. I think maturing time key ..... canopy height can be manipulated.
