It does not take a year of residency to get legal.
We are going to DMV tomorrow.
After purchasing all of our equipment, we have enough to live for 6 months.
We're not experienced, but we have studied the fuck out of growing for over 6 months.
Including reading numerous books, participating in numerous forums and watching hours of videos.

With a little luck we'll get there.

Yeah homie, you're fucked. If you're not spending at least 10-15K of that on grow equipment your room is gonna be a joke, and I have no idea how you plan to live for 6 months off of the remaining 5-10K with 4 people.

Also, reading books is NOT the same as actually doing it in real life. Good luck, but don't expect to sell ANY of your first harvest at a reasonable price. You're gonna have to straight give it away at first until the quality catches up.

How big is the space you're growing in? How many lights are you going to run? Clones? perpetual harvest? Sea of Green? straight through from veg to flower in one giant room, or alternating sides? I'm also curious about which state you're going to.

Haters gonna hate.....

I can understand you telling us we have an up hill battle because we do. But telling us we are fucked is wrong. You do not need to spend 10-15K on equipment and I'm going to prove this to you.

I'm making a youtube channel for those who want to follow our progress and see what it's like starting a grow house from scratch with 20k.

We have 4 1000w HPS lights for our first grow room. 9x10. A room dedicated to mothers and veg. All of this will be shown in the video. No perpetual harvest. One big harvest. And we have another room to add 4 more 1000w as soon as we start making money.

No hating gonna hate, reality gonna be real. 4lbs will get you maybe 2lbs on your first harvest. I would love to be wrong on this, but I would be VERY surprised if you are able to pull more than 2-3lbs from those lights your first (or even second or third) harvest. That'll be maybe $3-$6K return depending on where you live. That's going to take you a LONG fucking time to turn a profit at that rate. I'm just saying you need to have a backup plan. You have this fantasy in your head where you can just go grow a shit pile of weed and get rich, but you need to be more realistic about it in my opinion. First off it's a heavily competitive market, so you'll need to be growing quality herb in order to be able to find a buyer, and then you'll need to be able to grow enough to have a consistent supply. The people who make money growing weed are running 20,000W warehouses (at least) and drop off a pound a week to different dispensaries. Consistency and quality is the key, and 4KW is a joke in this game.
