Where to start?

Well, I haven't grown for probably about 15 years.. But my father has asked me I could help him grow considering he smokes about 6oz a month (we call him Chong) anyways.
I'm wanting to know which lights I should go with...anyone use any of these:




I'm looking at trying to get about 8-16oz a month in a 8x10 room if possible.

I'm aiming for trying this out(I have alot of time on me hands so needing to baby sit constantly isn't a problem):


(don't really need a pound every 3 weeks..half a pound would do (I'm assuming I'd be lucky to get that first go around with this method)

Any advice would be appreciated.

You will need a lot more light, 30-40 watts/square foot is common with LED.

Ended up going with this :


There's a $30 promotion going on right now applied to 1 per order at checkout, then you add this promo code in the billing section: RIU15PRO (got this from https://www.rollitup.org/t/2023-viparspectra-xs1500-pro.1088222/post-17282241)
$75 right now with promo codes! I made two different orders and got the $38 off both times XD so I got two of these bad boys for like $151 and 1 day shipping with prime XD

I would split up that space in to 3 grow spaces 2 5x5 and a3x3 The large grow spaces can each have 500 to 600 (wall watts not the adds bs) watts for flowering and you can stagger the time so the light is on in one grow space and off in the other to keep the amps down and better manage the heat. It takes 9 to 10 weeks to flower out most plants and drying takes a week or two. You can harvest every 6 weeks with a mom and clones in the 3x3. Window? AC, 5 or 6 fans, Carbon filter? Dehumid?
