So if those measurements you stated are in feet you have 780 square feet and want 35 watts per square foot of good led so 27300 watts of light. That's if you are using whole space and going to grow enough pot to supply a small state. How many plants do you want to grow? Also 1lb per plant is a pretty lofty goal, where did you come up with that number? I fully agree with BobThe420 builder, there is much more information needed.

If you are in the US and are looking at HP/MH for that size space, you will likely require 220V wiring. In other words I would look at the wiring and work backwards from there.

if all he cares about is getting 1 lb per plant i guess he just needs one. put it right in the middle of the space and just grow one plant under it. /thread.
He is talking about a 780 square foot space and won't answer how many plants so it is impossible to say how many lights he needs. As for 1lb per plant, that is a pretty lofty goal which will take a ton of work. Right medium, right lights, right pot size, proper temps, right plant genetics, dialed in nutes and most importantly the right set of skills. Is it possible, of course it is, but with such little information there is no good way to answer. That is why I sent him to the grow light size page to do his calculations.

Jayvelo have you ever grown cannabis before?

I get about 1/2 pound per plant in a 2x2 area, you'd need a 2x4 for 1 lb.

4 sq feet per pound of bud, cipher the plants per area and you have A answer.
