You can hire a consultant or find out where the retail stores are buying their supplies. One way is to contact a manufacturer and ask for the names of some local wholesalers. Tell the manufacturers you are interested in case and pallet quantities.

I contract a fertilizer manufacturer in Los Angeles to make them for me. Of the dozen I have requested so far, it turns out they were making all but 2 of them already for other customers, just not publicizing it.

i sprouted some seeds and have em in a top-drip hydro bucket. they are growing pretty good so far. the seed bag said they take about 80 days. thanks.

peace
It was closer to 65 days. My guess is the constant supply of water helped it mature faster. It was still small about 5.5 or 5.7lbs.

I think the lights you have is not enough for the grow and you need to have more lights here.the wattage and the intensity is quite right you just need to increase the number o flights.

Looks like spam for LED lights.
Stick with HID lighting.
