Can it happen? Design question

I've got an old record player, yes I know you're worried about me destroying it, but low and behold, it was done long before I laid my hands on it.

The question:
The dimensions of the record player are
24"wide
27"tall
17 3/4"deep

I'd like to do a hydro setup as soil is going to be difficult to acquire where I'll be located. Preferably 150W HPS (if possible) just so that yeilds are decent. I'd like to eventually have a perpetual harvest for around an O per month. This will be the flowering cabinet, or I could always put in a MH light for vegging instead and have a larger flowering cabinet.

What I'm asking for:
opinions :pointlaug

but hey, lightup, i'm already there :joint:

I'd say a 150HPS and 2 mini scrogs would get ya there. Use DWC/SWC for the hydro. But the larger the rez, the less fluctuations you'll have in the PH/EC of your nutes

What if i want to have three sections, (three different crops) harvest every 20 days on average. What should i expect yeild to be using a 150W HPS? Is this even possible or would i need to upgrade boxes?

I'm going for 20 g's every 20 days. Es possible?

A 150 can do it, for sure. There are just so many other variables, but if somthing stops you, its not the light. Good luck I'll be checkin out what you get into.

^^^^ He's got it, you can't forget to check nutes/temps etc. ALSO strain plays a great role in how much a cutting will produce. But say you divided the cab into 1/3rds, should give you @ 8" x 17" screen. If you allow your screen to fill properly I don't see a problem, I ran a SOG and had cuts that would produce upwards of an ounce each, single cola
