I don't think you will have enough space in the room to get max yield per plant, if you drop down to around 70 plants it'd be better. Each plant with 1.5sqft in 14x14 room, also space to move between the rows for scrog training/clipping et

I used to do complete grows and harvest, growing from seed everytime. Thats what the first harvest I will have this time will be. But I am going to clone them so I reality 100 plants would be a total. After the first harvest it would be
30 in clone, 30 in veg, 30, in flower. So the space issue will only be to start.
Lighting will you mix mh and hps, I discount fluoros except maybe keeping mothers alive. Not good for growing cost vs lumen output vs canopy penetration.
I use floros for clones save on electric and heat. I do mix mh and hps to get complete spectrum. If you know about growing you know one spectrum makes them grow tall and the other makes them grow wide.
With medical license you should be on one the public lists, are you willing to share this info since this a legal grow op. The insurance q was to cover the outs(fire/theft) so there would be lfimacial recourse for the investors.
I am not sure thats a great idea I think the feds crawl this forum and that would make me a target and a example.
The other issue I see is that a lot of the dispensaries pay top dollar for organic product, hydro not so much.
It all depends some just want you to get a lab test on them, its hard to get certified to grow organic. But you can grow organic in aero fyi, and that could be a future option.
Am still trying to work why you need to raise so much money to get this ip and running. You mentioned you spent 2ish k already. Another 3-4k should get you there. Most of aero things have seen are diy, it's not rocket science!

Takes a good trimmer 10 hours or so a pound they work 8 hour days.
Estimated total cost for trim work is 1100. I could buy a machine but the buds are not as pretty.
I am sure I am forgetting a ton of stuff, that just all the stuff off the top of my head with out my list on hand.
And thats about 12000 In expenses alone. Some stuff I can cheap out other stuff you really can not.
Can you do a breakdown on what you need the money for, the material costs etc. medical bills are not project related sorry man.
I pay my own medical bills, but thats why I sold my last set up to pay for a round of treatment.
Edit forgot to add bulbs to recurring expenses, I change bulbs ever 2 cycles so
8/2= 400 per cycle towards bulbs.
I also am going to use HERB IQ grow software from now on, I will do reports and put them up here for investors, pretty cool to see a grow op in a statistical. form.
