Your talking crazy.Nutrients are converted to plant matter and plants eat light.I have 6 plants in DWC eating 3 gallons a day and 2 plants eating a gallon.You can talk till the cows come home but more plants spread out will get you there quicker.Unless you wanna veg a plant for 3 months and flower another 2 to get some cool pics and say you grew a tree indoors.All in all by time you do that ill be drying a pound and some change working on my second grow..Now if the electric bill was not an option i would have vertical and overhead and grow big plants but im trying to get the most out of the electric bill..Heres a 26 day old 60x45 inch screen already in flower.Be done in 40 days.If you can get that much growth in 26 days from sprout on 1 plant i will mail you the deed to my house.plant count?
If somebody is aloud 6 plants then what?
Are you still gonna grow your 6 puny plants.
Kwhs is for babies man.
SGgrowdum said up to 4 lights. What would you do here in lets say a 5 x 8 x 7.5' tent to get the most z per sqft and you only had 6 plants.
pics or didn't happen.show me a 12 lb plant you grew.better yet show me a 30 day old plant of yours.LOL that is a 6 plant screen and 1 of my plants would take up half that screen in 30 days. You get your lb off your 6 plants and ill get my 12 lbs off my 6. ;)
Besides man 2 600w mh would be an extra $100 to veg for another month. And another thing. I have friends running buckets like you putting 12"clones in the buckets for 1 day and flipping them and they are getting 7 z a piece. The friend that tried it first was using super closets. I got the idea of 1 day veg from a thread doubled did about the chemdog plant that he put in a 100gal rez. Roots outgrow the bucket. In soil i transplant from 2gal pots @ 30 days into 10gal for 30 days then flip.
12 lb plant in airpots?I've heard it all.Used to grow in an 8x5 and 2 ac/de and 1000cfm presh fan and 6 air pots.
2 or 12 pic or didn't happenYou need to read posts better my friend.
thats not your average grow tent style of setup.Thats a commercial setup with high ceilings,professional cooling and a shit load of lights per overhead square feet.And like i said if operating cost is not an option than yeah a longer veg is better.No matter how you slice it you can only grow the amount of watts you have.Your not gonna get over a set amount no matter how long you veg without the proper lightingHere is the problem with these forums. Everybody on them say bs to every single thing they havnt seen or done themselves
so way more time is spent bull shitting around than learning and teaching. Its a shame really. I feel bad for most ppl because they never dare to do anything out of the box.
These pics produced 1.29 z per sqft of green area. Most lights were on 600 a few on 750 and a few on 1000 for a short time and then down to 750. When i clone I am topping while the clone is making roots. By the time the clone gets into a solo cup it has 4-8 main trunks. It goes from solo cup to a 2 gal pot and at 5 weeks from cloner it is put into 10 gal smart pots. at 5 weeks they are 2.5-3.5' tall. At 5 weeks they are put into flower room for 3 weeks and then flowered. Yield is roughly 5-10 z per main trunk. Heavy weight is made from side branching. In my second pic there are 4 different strains. Those has too be lsted slightly because of height restriction but lst makes them too wide so i lst enough to open them and then let the weight of the flower take over. A well thought out vertical will win every time whether in a tent or a room.
