What's the best lighting for seedlings?

1300w 650 each for flowering area

That’s true wattage^^

Are you trying to figure the cost of the electric bill?

Oh hell. Just scrolled up and read a bit. Guess electric bill is no problem

So if you get extemely lucky on a first grow in new area, not dialed in and do hit 1g/w. At 1300w. You’ll get a whopping 2.9lbs. see how far that is from 10? You’re 7.1 short. You didn’t even get 30% of target.

I can only share with you the numbers, it’s up to you to believe/understand them.

The numbers from your strains breeder. Of one pound per plant. Are outdoor numbers, or heavy indoor training numbers. The outdoors has benefits that are very hard to match indoors. But of course, we can best the outdoors, just not at the hobbyist level

I get you

You’re probably going to need more than that. In order to get a pound per plant indoors your plants are going to need to be pretty big. Scrog would work as long as they are bigger screens, then you’ll probably want to be at something like 1 light per screen.

Just my opinion here, but you may want to go back to square one and rethink your plan. You’re going to jam up a lot of time, space, and money trying to grow 10 plants that big. That’s a lot for a first grow.

Check out Growplanner led from HYPERLITE. Shane from Migro did a segment on them and gave them the thumbs up, so I gave em a go. They’re modular and wifi controlled, which is sweet af, and they’re 100w is 50% off right now ($54)
Attach 4 together for 400 watts at 4ft long at only $220 lol. I love my 600rspec, but this is the best bang for my buck. It’s very well built, like surprisingly well built.
I have several grow spaces of various sizes, so it’s nice to have the modular capability.
Happy growing
