I'm not sure if the mods here would like me posting which forum I used to post on so if you'd like pm me and I can tell you that but so you know I removed all of my pics from that forum because of security issues at that time but i believe my grow threads are still there but with no pics.

What do you mean by "5 scale meter"? I take my og up to 1800 ppm for consective feeds with no ill effects at all. I find them to be nute hoggs. I'll get some pics up of my current og they are the best I've done yet I think; super tight, big, frosty, and colorful. Very happy with the tweeking I did on my feed schedule with this current grow.
Thanks man. I don't think you would hit 2 per by doing only 16 per light and only vegged 1 to 2 weeks. For only 16 per light you would have to veg 4 weeks IMO to hit 2 per. If you did 32 per light and vegged 2 to 3 weeks you could hit 2 per and maybe even up to 2.3 per if vegged 3 weeks. I have done 40 per and vegged 2 weeks with clones and hit 2.3 before. I like yielding 2.5 to 3 per and I don't care about plant numbers so I go with 70 to 75 plants per light and only veg 2 weeks with clones. I also lollipop the bottom few branches off of each plant and prune all the big leaves off of each plant after I flip to flower. In a tight sog if you want all of the mid to lower buds to get hard and sugary you have to get light penetration and air circulation to them.Northwest, do you have any grow diaries or anything? I'm thinking i might be brave and do a mass SoG in the future one day like yours but really would need alot of learning before i attempt to setup such a thing. I'd love to learn from you as it is, you look like you know all the ins and outs with sog soil growing. I'm thinking maybe doing 3 4'x8' beds with 32 plants in each (to keep the count under 100), so that's 16 plants per 4x4. With two 1k's over each bed. Do you think i could effectively yield 2lb per 1k light with 16 plants under each 1k? That's only 2oz per plant, would i have to veg for 1-2 weeks before flowering also?
Any information you can contribute to help me learn, i will really really really appreciate XD. Thanks alot for your already inspiring pictures.

Ya my mistake and I was thinking they were suggesting horiontal bulbs in reflectors, not verticle. I was mixed up there. Yes verticle bulbs with big trees or stadiums and no shades is suited for other types of growing but not sog'ing. I won't be changing my grow system at all except for maybe trying feeding hydroponically instead of the soil.We were talking about vertical bulbs no shades with the vertical bulb hanging in between the plants, best done with large plants because you have to make up alot of height in order to maximize the light though some do sog octagons and stadiums with levels but its just a pain in the ass on a large scale going with the small plants in a setup like that.

How many plants did you do on the 9'x9' bed with the 4k? If you did 70 to 75 vegged 2 weeks you could no problem get 2.4 to 3 per with the right food schedule and right grow room set up temps, co2 etc..i ran 4 1k on a 9x9 bed using magnum reflectors. at the time i was happy with my results since it was my first time growing ever. but since i barely did that much better on the next 2 tries it just wasn't worth the risk sogging anymore for me if i couldn't hit 2+ plus a light. now i'm close to hitting that 2 per mark with og with 18 per light vegged 3 weeks. i take them up to 1450 on a 5 scale meter. i will definetly let you know my buddies results in 3 to 4 weeks. keep it safe bro.
