Why does he need 1200 and you only need 700? Is it because mars sucks? imo 300w for my 2x4 is perfect. Idk if mars is any good, but 600w of good led.
600 true watts is plenty no reason for 1200! Not even with a Mars
The amount of light needed depends on room size not number of plants.
More plants wont help if the space was already full. Theres a limit to how much will fit in a sqft. You can grow one plant or 20 to fill the tent. Any way you want will work. Good light and environment plus good genetics is whats needed if you want 2oz/sqft not the number of plants. Number of plants does get you there faster.
One 150w light over one plant in a 2 x 2 makes 1/2lb. Its very doable.
Yeah Id say 600 w per lb, 300 each plant. You could do 900 if they were close and dispersed perfectly and your canopy really flat, you could do it with strict training. You would need fiming, topping, bending, scroging, all from early on.
What kind of light do you have?
Wow! Have you gotten that? Thats about 1.5 g per watt. I was curious to know how much over 1g could be done. I bet your environment and training were on point!
Only if your lights suck. 600w of good led will work. Half pound with 150w is done all the time.
Wow! Good to know!!
Honestly, genetics is 90% of it. If you don't have heavy buds, you ain't gettin 2oz/sqft no matter how well your environment is.Temps and humidity can vary a bit.
I have 560 true w on my vegging plant now, so I was already over kill for a lb at 1g/w and Im gonna add more when I grow into the bigger flower screen. I may be able to reach closer to 2lbs with 144 tops and the 800w Ill probably have hovering about a foot over the flower screen!
