I am gathering information for a future startup and I have a question about how much space and power do I need to keep a 10 light, 10k watt garden with clones.
Lights will be top of the line, each covering a 5x5 tray with 16 plants per tray. This means I will be growing 160 plants at a time. I want to be able to veg these 160 plants while I flower another 160 plants at the same time.

How much space and how much light would I need to be able to do this? I just need a ball park estimate.
As of now I am thinking two 1k lights covering 8 4x4 trays. I might also do 8 small lights over 8 4x4 trays, It costs more, but not that much more.

All lights will be modern LED
