personally that unit is way to much money for what it produces. This unit will grow small shrub like plants, which will be very hard to maintain in a unit like this, if you willing to spend out 5 grand u might as well by a very nice aeroponic sytems that will grow 10-20 plants and you will get about 10 times the yeild just because the plants will grow bigger with less maintance. this unit alows plants to get about 1 1/2 feet tall, when we know the average size of a plant is 3 feet, u will be flowering much earlier producing less yeilds, and potency may be effected. I belive the max amount of flowering females you are allowed to have by law under a medicinal license is somewhere around 3, so 99 plants would get you arrested, but its not like many people even have the license for 3 and in some states ur not allowed to have any, so either way ur looking for trouble, in most states its not the amount of plants but the wieght of the plants. If its illegal to start with, you might want to keep it low on numbers just because its alot easier to convince someone its for yourself when 3 plants is allowed in other states, but if you growing over 5 plants its going to be hard to convince anyone your not selling it for profit. And if done right 3 plants can yeild you about a 1/2lb which is plenty. If you want to grow alot of plants illegally to make a profit, this system will be you worst bet just because of its high price and unefficiency, 2000wtts to 100 plants(small, forced flowered plants) imo ur better off with a system that allows you to grow way less plants, way bigger plants, cheaper, more yeilding, grown to full maturation.
