So I have a MAX budget of $5000 for my new place, I will be using the master bath for a veg room, so that is taken care of, I have about 5k to spend on my flowering room.

It MUST be stealth, cant have any major odor leaks.

Trying to be power effiecient, but I am considering up to 5000w

Trying to MAX yield in the space.

Not wasting money on a hydro setup, no offense to you hydro guys but Im not building hydro so dont bother.


My first idea was to buy a 10fx10f secret jardin growroom, 4x1000w or 6x600w HPS, dual carbon filter. I would then grow to 18inches, lollipop and flower.

Thats about 4k right there with the new lights and cooltubes


My other Ideas have been growing vertical, I have no experience with this but I have seen some nice pics of full flowering vert rooms, but they are still only pics.

Im quite interested in a 3-4 shelf stadium style grow with 2-3 1000w HPS.

My biggest question is what kind of yields are people getting in vert grows, yield/wattage?


My newest idea has been a pair of Volksgarden, 2 of them would be just over 4k after taxes, and they seem like an incredibly efficient use of light/space, my only issue with this is what if my plants grow too big in the system, Anyone have experience with these?

Any other tips would be great.

Im basically looking for any new ideas on how to maximize yield with minimal wattage.

how many grows have you done so far?

I havent really counted, I have been growing my 2 strains for a few years now so I know how they grow.

I would first use a spare bedroom, i not build one in the basement for sure. With all material costs a 10x10 room should cost abou $3000 to get going. I would definately go with 4X600's, just to keep the power down.

No way around it.... even with cool tubes you are going to need a 10,000 btu a/c to cool that space with that much light.

Thanks but not really what Im asking. I wouldnt use a basement. I have 3 available bedrooms, Im not worried about that.

Im more worried about yield/wattage, and maxing efficiency of the lights.

4 x 600 would be a waste of time and money growin flat, unless I got some ridiculous yields in a vertical setup I wouldnt bother.

I never said I was worried about heat. I can get an AC...

this is fucking retarded

if you really knew what you were doing and were willing to spend that much money, you wouldn't have to ask the kinds of questions you are asking.
