How many plants would I need to grow about 2lbs. of dried herb with a organic aeroponics system under 1,000 watts maybe two?

this question cannot be answered with the exact number. The crop size will depend greatly on the strain of the seeds, room conditions and other environmental aspects. Sounds like you are growing the first time...you need to do this at least once all the way through to see the figures and the outcome. If you put decent efforts and use good strain you should be abe to achieve about 4 oz's per plant on avarage. But if you are using a single light you will need a Lightmover (Intellidrive makes good ones), lots of Maylar. One light may not be enough. If we do the math: with 4oz's per plant you will need about 10 plants to produce 2 lbs so that means you need to start about 20 to 25 plants since the male to female ratio is about 50% on avarage. When you start 25 plants you will need at least 2 lights (both on lightmovers). Concidering you are doing this for the first time you will probably have a smaller crop so the answer would be around 30 plants.
