What do you think I could set up for $1500?
It really depends on the size of the room, what you want to do, are you doing vertical lighting or overhead air cooled, etc etc? With 2 vertical 1000 watts, you could do 6 plants like I did. The overhead lighting is not necessary it just can help. With the vertical lighting, stretch is far more controlled as well since the light isnt above. If the lights are overhead and aircooled, I would do 8 plants but I would suggest topping them because to maximize your overhead light you need to spread the canopy out. With vertical lights, its better to have a taller plant that can take more of the light.
