Have you ever grown weed before? If not, I would consider starting a LOT smaller.

So many variables, style of grow, strain, etc.

To run a 1000 plants successfully is a big job.

I guess I wouldn't take on a task that size without knowing what I was doing.

Good luck though

1 month veg you're probably looking at 12-16 sqft per plant, plus walkways and space around each plant. You're probably looking at 250 plants, maybe a gavita over every four plants, so probably 70ish lights.

I'd start small and build your way up.

Good luck
