I have limited funds but done want to completely cheap out on the LEDs. Could I pull off a 6 plant scrog with about $1000 of led and still get 1 lb per plant on a 6 plant scrog, or more plants on a sog?

try 1 to 1.5 grams per watt (if you dont screw it up somehow) and you use quality LEDs

3000 watts of LED and an 8x8 x 8-10 high space by my calculations... And that's with a very high yielding strain like cash crop.. Veg 2-3 months +..

looking at probably $4000 to $6000 in lights plus cooling.

Maybe a vertical scrog would get you closer to your goals using HID... $1000 in LED will light a 4x4 scrog... maybe get 1/2 - 1 pound if you're good.

What is the floor space you are working with?

Last package arrived today. I have some assembling to do but now I have all 18 cobs, 130mm passive pin fin heatsinks, 18 bjb holders, 6 MW hlg-185h-48a drivers and 12 wago 5 terminal blocks.

Yeehaw I'm off to the races!
