well as far as the money goes either way i have to buy the soil, guano, crystals, etc.... so that'll be the same...all the indoor equipment would just be an investment that i am ready to make.. 5-6k on equipment is not going to hurt. i will however be able to skip the manual labor of digging 25 2'sft holes which is a HUGE plus, like i said i have been growing outdoor for quite some time, but times are changing....

what i am thinking about is what budsmoker said about drawing too much power in a 2br trailer..i do not plan on living there so it will only be a grow house... what kind of places do you guys recommend to do these grows?? commercial? say maybe rent out a garage or something? but then i would think 4000W consumption at 3AM would stand out..

My goal is to set something up away from my house. Have it be completely automated. i would only want to have to visit once a week or so. people say hydro is better for this..i personally would rather grow in soil but i would try organic hydro alternatives...

so let's say instead of using 2 1000W in the flower room say 4x8 (? sounds like enough going by the comments) i use 3 600W 12/12 would that be good enough ?? in the veg/clone room say 2 400W 18/6 plus the clones would have their same setup i have now shelf system with grow tubes and humidity boxes.. these are just me thinking outloud
