The limiting factors are not available space and power consumption my friend. The limiting factor is your ability to grow. You can have all the room in the world and the best light but until you understand the plant at a less empirical level it won't matter. The proof of that is on Craigslist where many a great lights reside because the owner thought he could flip on the light and drop a seed in some dirt. The science is secondary to the art. Best of luck with your grow and remember to have fun.

Your "limiting factors" are not really limiting factors or what normal people would call limiting factors.

Limiting factors are among things that directly impact plant growth. or more specifically the things that are limiting the plant growth. things like light, nutrients aND atmospheric conditions.

If light is your limiting factor for instance, you could try to optimize nutrients and air (co2) so you're not wasting those resources because light is limiting the uptake of the other resources.

Electricity and space I feel are unlimited. can always obtain more space if it's cost effective...

Yes, you are probably right. Not sure about terminology. But nothing is unlimited in the real world. For me, power is the most obvious constraint. Especially in a planning stage.

No, money would be your limiting factor in that case. Power company will sell you as much power as you can buy. You should probably just stop using the term "limiting factor" because you have a different definition for it than anyone else.

Also, have you ever grown before? It really sounds as though you should be soaking up info from the beginners forum...

The limit for electricity where I live is 10.56 kw. Let us say I can roughly use 50 % for a grow Room as 1. I need electricity for living. 2. I dont want the Power Company to alarm the police.

I have a free area of 50 m2 = much less then 100 watt / m2 If use all area. That is not optimal light intensity I guess. Thus, space is not the limit.I have more then I need.

You know, you come across as a pretty big dick in this thread, no offense.

How are we supposed to have any idea how much electricity you need to live? Also, the power company will almost certainly not question you if you pay your bills.

Considering how hard it seems for you to even formulate your questions, youre going to have a hell of a time finding out and comprehending what you really seem to be looking for. Which if I had to guess would be " optimal PPFD in Xspace with Xwatts available". Maybe you can find someone to feed you the info though, if you know how to properly ask.

How do you know If I am rich or not? But true, Money is for sure another limit for me.
