It will strictly be an indoor operation, because it is illegal where I live.

A man with a plan it seems.I'm planning a little cabinet just for this operation, around 440 sq ft, 40 sq m for Europeans
And around 20 kW of PV panels, maybe 15-20 kW of batteries... Also, a 5-10 kW gas generator for lean times... It should be enough for a medium-scale operation. I would be happy to talk about the subject, of course. How is life off-grid?
Well, I've been living my dream for 30+ years. Just a jaded pagan here. All this freedom to be myself, to figure it out, to survive on my own has opened me to my real strengths.
Hell of a lot of work but the rewards tower above the pain

Do you have a well for your water supply? And if you have, I want to know more about how wells work, are they always constant-flow?

Being off grid removes the easiest way of being found, timed use of large amounts of electricity. My areas are set that when one turns off another turns on, my usage stays fairly constant.
In some cases, with other evidence this gets a search warrant.

The cabin is 400' from an overflow channel of the rvr. Late spring, summer and fall I pump water to cabin. Solar works perfect for this. Pumps I use are small and use little juice. As freeze-up begins I haul buckets with sled and 4x4.After the overflow channel freezes and drifts over with deep snow I start filling buckets of snow from the huge drifts in front of cabin. I mine where dogs haven't trashed the snow by digging and peeing, lol. Just an 80' walk with buckets that aren't very heavy compared to a water bucket.Work maintains youth in humans.

@Son of Hobbes, I think people forget that plants evolved with much much higher CO2 ppm than now, although we're catching up fast. In the nineties I measure my ppm at 330, it's insane to think it's already 30% higher since I've been growing weed!
I find that if I try to go over 50, I end up dialing it back just by eyeballing the leaves.
That's probably mostly because either you give it less CO2 than it needs, or some other stressor. The plant easily surpasses and can get up to 100 DLI in some of the cutting-edge study papers I've read, with increases in dry mass up until that point as well! If you want, I can share the papers with you. It is by Bruce Bugbee and another Ph.D. student.
Most here are probably talking about autoflowers, which can’t handle as high dli…
