I have no trouble with giving away what knowledge I've accumulated with 45 years of growing marijuana or the lifetime I've spent in farming.As am i. I'm not hitting 3 a light, it was more in response to the it's not possible without pics comment, a lot of people with great talent don't like to just give away all the knowledge they've learned the hard way.
I've seen grows that produced 5 lbs per 1,000 watt, but the trick is they spend 3-4 months in veg and another 2 1/2 months in flower. So 6 months to produce that 5 lbs.Anyone who says they are getting 3 pounds a 1000 W light is either lying or weighing wet, stems and all.
Notice how people who are saying this can't produce photo's of such a grow?

About the most you can get under one 1 000 W ligth is a pound of buds, but that is only with a high yielding strain, and the norm is less.
Share the knowledge, thanks brotha!I have no trouble with giving away what knowledge I've accumulated with 45 years of growing marijuana or the lifetime I've spent in farming.
After 4 months in veg the plant wont fill in any more space than say 12 plants vegged for 1 month.
When you are talking length of veg there comes a limit where it is counterproductive to veg anymore.
After all a 1000 W does not cover that big an area effectively, there is only so much plant that you can fit under it.
And you can't fit 5 pounds of plant under a 1 000 W light, you need space and the sun to do that.
About the most you can get under one 1 000 W ligth is a pound of buds, but that is only with a high yielding strain, and the norm is less.
Does not matter how long you veg them for after a certain point, they will just end up too big remember you can only harvest the top 8 inches of so of buds, as the light does not penetrate sufficiently to anything lower than that, so no point in growing 8 foot plants indoors when you can only harvest the top 8 inches effectively.
I've got over 2 pounds of buds out of a 1k. I can piss on my plants and get a pound of light under a 1k. That's child's play and beginner grows
I've got plenty of pics on here if you research some of my threads. You keep pulling a pound a light and be happy with that because that's obviously your capability.As they say, pics or it didn't happen. And I don't think it happened.
Wait a second, I pull 1 1/2 pounds consistently out of 6oo watts of hps.
And a lot of old school growers ran that way with a single 1,000 in a 12 x 12 bedroom with between 12 to 16 plants in 10 gallon buckets.
Just for another reference, here is 12 plants in a 4x4 under a single 600 watt hps. These hit the scale at 30 ounces. 25 day veg from rooted cuttings, 63 days of flower. So almost 2 lbs. from a 600.As they say, pics or it didn't happen. And I don't think it happened.

Hell 25 years ago I was pulling 4 ounce every 2 week from a 400 watt perpetual with a 250mh for a veg lighting.View attachment 664762 View attachment 664763
CO2 enrichment is over rated, but i only spend approximately $30 per pound on CO2 which is 3x more than i spend on full line of AN nutes per pound.I don't run co2 and hit good numbers
Those where grown with just basic 2 part veg and flower formulas only other things added where cal-mag plus at 2 ml a gallon for the first 2 weeks and hydroplex at 2.5 ml weeks 3 and 4 of flower. Never saw an ec over 1.oec or 500 ppm from start to finish.CO2 enrichment is over rated, but i only spend approximately $30 per pound on CO2 which is 3x more than i spend on full line of AN nutes per pound.
I like all the AN bottles it gives me more control.
Ive been looking into the same thing,,,This looks like a good deal...https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00L1Z4TJG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A34ZYRFBMEHIF5I've been wanting to upgrade my lights for a while now, looking for some advice on the subject from u guys with de experience. I'm currently using two 600s, bare bulb hung horizontally. I really need keep the 360° coverage from the bare horizontal bulbs. Are there any options in a de version? Would have to be remote ballasts and gull-wing type hoods I can modify, or something along those lines. Any suggestions?
