New setup looking for large yields

And for those of us with ruptured disks, PVC is oooh sooo much lighter.

I'm thinking about going with "Arjans Ultra Haze #1" from greenhouse seeds. It is a sativa and grows pretty tall, im going to need to build a pretty big box if i want to grow a couple of these. I have a whole room to work with and money is not an issue, how big should i be looking at making this box?

I'm thinking at least 6 feet tall, 8 or 10 would be better. You can always keep it smaller if you use a screen to keep them down. You can also go a little less tall if you use fluorescent lighting instead of HID (not recommended). Don't forget to plan on spending as much on venting as you do on lighting if you do HID. If you are only doing 2 plants 3x3' wide and deep should be plenty, or even 2x2'. If space and money were not an issue, I would build it bigger rather than smaller. I would also have a separate veg and bud area so I could harvest twice as often. 2 plants ever 4 months will not keep you supplied, especially if you are generous. (search sog and scrog) Don't forget a mother area and a cloning area so you can clone after your first harvest. Way easier and faster than seeds.

I sure wish money were not an issue in my life. Sigh...

You're going to want to make it as tall as possible, in my opinion. Sativas get really tall.... and making a high box gives you lots of wiggle room for you light heights. 6 feet is not enough as 2-3ft can be taken up by your hydro setup and the lights. And don't forget you need a space between the lights and the plants. 8 is great, in anything less than 7 I'd consider scrogging. Hell, the taller the better.

As far as your room size and money not being an issue.. I need specifics... How big is the room and how much are you really ready to spend? 3, 5, 10?

If you have a room, you don't need a box at all, unless you will be using the room for stuff that interferes with the light schedules. If you build a cabinet or box, like bud luv says, taller is better. I don't know if you have 10' ceilings, but I would make it that tall if so, or however tall your ceiling is. And if money were really not an issue, I would probably spend about 50 thousand on one room.
