I know of a 2bedroom trailer available for $450 a month up in the country..i would like to rent this place out and start a decent sized grow op..The problem is I really don't know how much to expect per plant under how much light indoors...outdoors i could get anywhere from a 1/2 lb to 1lb per plant i know that is not true of indoors.
i'd like to get around 2lbs per month give or take.
basically, how do i accomplish this indoors?
thanks

in order to seriously achieve 2lbs/month, you're going to need atleast 2 1000watt HPS (preferably switchable) and 2 light movers. you can set up 2 huge patches of herb and have the light movers do their job on 30 second intervals. my buddy did 1 1000watt HPS + light mover and got about a pound off roughly 20 plants. in all honesty, you might be setting your sights too high for a first indoor grow - especially considering how much you're going to have to spend; two 1000watts are gonna be around $600 and then you have to factor in soil and nutrients for 50 plants. yikes, id get a single 1000watt hps + light mover and try to do about 20 plants. the thing is, with a light mover the buds might be fluffier and less dense. so youll average 1-2oz per plant. this is all subject to vary though, i agree with the above poster on his recommendation of 4 1000watts if you dont use the light mover.
