They come preassembled too. This is $1000 and covers a 4.5x4.5 to 5x5.

Timber cob kits are good too. I prefer strips and qb's but you arent going to go wrong with COBs. If you go with the timber route make sure they're preassembled I'm not sure that they are.

You can get a brand new 1000 wst mh/hps for 250-300 on Ebay and Amazon. Leavi g plenty of money to get other things you will need.

Have you put any real thought into hps mh? Or CMH? cmh's are a step above hps setups in my opinion but a double ended hps may run cooler I'm not sure. Others could probably help you more.

Another option is to cover a 3x3 and add as you go. Or a 4x2 ect

I ran 1kw in my 9x6x8 and got 2# but my training was fim and no defol. So i got a buuunch of undershit that wasn't in the 2# And my sour d's didnt do dwc justice. No co2. 3000k, And 2 month veg from seed. I did have foxtailing from lots of light, but i have mirror walls and I got dense under nugs. The spread would penetrate your canopy no prob

So probably 6kw of qb should definitely get you started. Make sure your room is warm enough in winter tho. My garage is sitting at like 55 degrees rn with a colder floor. Gotta throw a hps in there now and take some qbs out.

so, scaling up my quantum pucks I spent 1400 on 800w so you are looking at over 10k if you are buying from rapid/hlg/ for your stuff. people are picking up qb's and f strips off alibaba for CHEAP tho and they are the same thing, might just require more wiring but you can save yourself a lot of money piecing it together

if you are running sealed go with the qbs, if you are intaking and scrubbing to out and constantly drawing air I'd leave 2 gavitas or 4 dimmed to the low low in the 20x20 and fill the rest with qb so you dont have to heat that much. dehumidi is gonna bite you in the butt tho in flower i learned lol.
