I advise you to build the grow space before you acquire the clones.

And to get 45lbs from 9 plants you would have to grow out door...you would need like 55,000 watts to get that much indoor, a gram a watt is hard to get

And you would have to veg for like 3-4 months atleast

I've been growing for a good 5 years now and I just recently last year got to the ounce per gallon soil mark. It can obviously be done, I am not saying that. You're just gonna have to keep everything well groomed, well tended, and know how to keep your canopy even to get 5 ounces+ per plant. I would go for 5-7 gallon felt pots. I vegg my clones for 20-25 days or from seed plants for about 40-45 days to get 5 ounces. Did not mean to offend, it's just most people come to this forum as a newbie not knowing even where to begin, and they want to pull 10 ounces per plant and it';s just not gonna happen lol. Good luck to you bud.

Well how many plants are you trying to grow? and correction to my earlier post 25,000 watts would be enough

You do realize you are going to need a warehouse sized place....and 400watt lights are out of the question obviously that would be retarded expensive compared to 1000watters. 4foot x 4 foot can be illuminated by 1 1000watt. I am still obviously very skeptical and can guarantee you are not gonna pull 45 pounds from just one harvest lol. Because if you are asking what you need, you obviously don';t have that much experience.

If you got an ounce per gallon using between 5-7...you would need 102-144 plants with this method, put em in 25 gallon pots and you should need 29

hahaha but a 25gallon pot inside? You would have to have a 10 foot roof lol. Or else your plant would be taking up a 10 foot diameter or more..... I think this guy just doesn't know what he is getting into. You'd need a greenhouse or just grow outside for this kind of yield obviously.

But even then you will need 25 1,000 watt hps with 30 gallon pots roughly 25 plants...they will have to veg for 3-4 months...so each harvest would take 7-8 months dried an cured

Ya, so good luck. unless you live on a 40 acre parcel & have 100,000 dollars laying around. O, and your solar panels aint driving no 25,000 watts, unless you have two or three acres of panels.
Buy 9 clones each 18 total veg them for 2 or 3 months in 10 gallon pots and you can easily take 200 to 300 clones off 18 plants if you keep your mothers happy healthy and productive

Hahaha me too bro i have seen an indoor setup where guy had 8 foot tall plants in a multiple screen SCROG. one screen was close to the top and the other in the middle to support the plants and there were 2 levels of 1000watt lights....crazy shit. That's what this guy needs to do in order to get 45 pounds LOL
