Hi, i am a newbie grower who has read a lot of info and been amongst people growing before but has never actually done it myself, im looking to grow a big personal yearly crop between 50 - 100 plants using the wilma system, i have looked at 2 wilma systems that interest me the 20 (6.5L pot) wilma system and the 16 (11L pot) wilma system, both are 1m2 and both are the same price but i am curious as whether the 6.5L pots will be big enough to grow a large plant with big yield? would i be better of with the 11L pots for a bigger yield? also they are 1m2 as i said so is a 600w light over each 1 enough or would i be needing a 1000w light over each system for the result i am looking for? i have looked at various feminised seeds which say get a 450g - 550g yield from each plant? is this possible using these system and which system would be best to achieve this? looking to get this under way asap so early comments would be appreciated, cheers guys!

i think your making a big mistake dropping that much money in to a grow op and under taking a grow that big for never having grown yourself.. you are setting yourself up for failure.. you should spend WAY less money and grow 10 plants a few times to get things down before dropping what your about to drop on equipment with all likely hood of some sort of large scale catastrophic failure... it would be a sad thing to have you spend all that money and time and lose a bunch because you have no idea going in to a grow that big as to how much work, time, and the actual grow knowledge you will need for it.. book knowledge is one thing.. but just cause you've read how to grow doesnt mean you know how to grow.. do your self a favor and start with a small scale of what you want and get the techniques down.. you can always add onto your grow as you want.. but you'll lose WAY more money if the grow fails and you have to try to sell off some of your stuff.. or it just ends up setting around anways.. sorry to sound like such an ass.. but its the best advice i can give you

no i ucompletley understand what your saying and honest advice is the best advice! i have grown before with a friend with it all done at his house and i would pop round each day so im not a complete novice i have just never used wilma system before but i thought that they would be easier as they run themselves, however i am going to take on board what you have said and only do a qtr of the amount i palnned
