I do SOG in a 4 x 8 area with 2, 1000 watt lights. About 120 plants using soil.
Only done this twice but produced 2 1/2 lb's.

Now I'm starting hydo. Will see where that takes me.

Yeah, but he doesn't want to do SOG because he's trying to stay under his plant limit.
I agree with Dimo that a ScrOG setup would result in the highest yield per sq ft with a minimum of plants.
4 1000k lights would be great for this setup, and you could eventually boost your yields even more with supplemental CO2 since you'll be providing so much light.

I dont get it...its a medical grow but you care if a CO2 tank will look suspicious? You dont think 10 cu ft of soil (if u go w/ soil), 30 pots and giant bulbs arent suspicious? Most importantly tho, youre not doing anything illegal, si why care?

I'll happily answer this for him.
It's illegal federally, even in med states.

Would two 1000W over each 10 plants be plenty

so you are saying 6000watts total? 1k for 5 plants will be the way to go for sure but why not 6 under each light for symmetry? is 30 your limit?
is funding a big limit?
if not i would recommend that at least half if not all your bulbs are these guys
HORTILUX SUPER BLUE™
for me they have proved to be worth the extra cost.
i would not recommend against 5 gallon buckets but 3 gallons would do fine for a scrog with that many plants with a tun of watering.
