Hey mate thanks for your reply, tbh i was thinking that. For a 5x5 space all i have to offer is only 645w! Which compared to some other grow tents is as much as half the power!!!My first suggestion would be more light. I'm willing to bet if you've used that setup already, you were a little disappointed with your yield.
Standard formula for led lighting is 30 to 35 watts per square foot.
5x5=25x35=875 means your over 200 watts short of the standard minimum. You may notice less dense flowers and dramatic lack of growth especially in the corners and edges.
Putting an additional 200w in the tent will definitely help. With 1 fixture in the center, you will most likely use led bars. Try to put them in the corners and edges to even the light canopy out.
Any yield numbers you get from the breeder will be unobtainable without sufficient light and nutrients. Take them as a guideline only. Definitely not as a goal, you will only be disappointed.
Most I have ever seen or achieved without CO2 is 1.5 to 1.7g per watt of led light. Meaning with the light you have, 900 to 1000g is the most you can hope for. And unless you address the lack of light that product you do get will be fluffier than what we expect from bud.
Hope this helps man, good luck
That should put her right. I use similar light to fill in my main fixture.Hey mate thanks for your reply, tbh i was thinking that. For a 5x5 space all i have to offer is only 645w! Which compared to some other grow tents is as much as half the power!!!
I was thinking of getring some of these and putting one in every corner on the tent poles and with the extra 180w plus the far red light to boost flower...what you think?

Nonsense mate .im in a 5x5 using 5x4 area and consistently yielding 2p ea grow using 600 watt led vegging 6 plants 5 weeks..the gavita is perfect for that space..My first suggestion would be more light.

I was told by my hydro store that the gavita has a coverage area for a 4x4 OR 5x5 but tbh im not seeing the results that i probably should be using the gavita and for what i paid for the light im quite disappointed. Maybe theres other issues in the tent which could be contributing to the low yeild. Ive been toying with adding extra light but im confused as im sill within range as of gavitas recommendations.Nonsense mate .im in a 5x5 using 5x4 rea and consistently yielding 2p ea grow using 600 watt led vegging 6 plants 5 weeks..the gavita is perfet for that space..

Awesome mate thank you very much for your input and adviceWhatever you think matei go 11 weeks with 7-9 week strains .
Yes thats correct what you have been told 4x4 or 5x5 .i have a mate getting over 3 a light in a 4x4 so 2lb is easily obtainable..
Maybe your enviroment isnt quite dialed n bud..these guys can help you as they are running this light @Anthem @saddlesores
Gravitas is in the buisness of selling grow lights. You can use it in a 5x5 but, your results wont be as good.I was told by my hydro store that the gavita has a coverage area for a 4x4 OR 5x5 but tbh im not seeing the results that i probably should be using the gavita and for what i paid for the light im quite disappointed.

Hey man thanks so much for spending the time and posting such a detailed description for me! Yeah thats what i would like and im aiming for, wether or not it works out that good is another story as its my first time "scrogging" so like everything it normally takes a few mistakes to get in nailed! I will keep you posted throughout the grow, Cheers mateNow that I'm home and have more time I can address your other questions
That is exactly what I and most people do. Repot before you scrog. In fact I don't put the net in for about a week after reporting to larger pots. As you did imagine, repotting after it has been scrogging is a nightmare. But can be done before flower.
What I do is start my clones/seedlings in solo cups. Then when the roots start comming out the bottom holes I make, I repot them in to their 3gal pots that I flower them in. Then I dont put the net I untill the plants are 4 to 6 inches above the room I leave for watering.
Obviously you cant put the net all the way down to the pots cause you need room to water. In my 3x3 the net is 8 to 10 inches above the pots. This may change for your watering needs.
So once the plant is say 14 inches above the pots I put the net in at 10 inches above the pot, and weave in the 4 inches of the tops of the plant.
Depending on how long you are willing to wait vrs how many plants you are willing to grow at one time. Veg could be week to a month.
If you're going with a SOG scrog method (scrog but also with many plants) then your veg time could be as low as 1 week after the net is in. If you do what I do and scrog 1 plant out in to a 3x3, it takes over a month.
Whatever you choose, you veg until the net is filled. Try to keep it all the same level under the net. Then when the net is full, flip to flower. The plants will double in size all above the net. 2 or 3 weeks in to flower, do yourself a favor and literally strip anything that is not a branch supporting a bud above the net. This will give you good airflow and help prevent mould and bud rott. Also anything below the net gets such little light it is popcorn and not worth the plants energy to produce when it could put that energy into your nice buds
Then you basically just watch for it to be ready. Depending on your nutrient regiment, you may need to add another net to stop the dongs from falling over.
Cheers for the info mateWhatever you think matei go 11 weeks with 7-9 week strains .

Cheers for the info mate,
Best ive gotten is 14oz from 2 plants in 18L pots in 70/30....7oz each,
And
12.5oz from 4 plants in 11L pots 70/30 around 3oz each.
My strain was mimosa evo x orange punch (supposed to be a heavy yeilder) And i was pretty impressed with nug density and crystal, the total overall yeild suffered compared to some grow diaries. My RH was 78% in veg with temps of 85-80 and week 3 of flower i kept temps the same but dropped my RH to 50-55% until the last 2 weeks when i dropped it further to around 40-45% right before harvest. I feel my climate is pretty controlled and consistent.
Plants seem healthy etc, and i also ran clones so all where of the same pheno and genetics. I honestly dont know why im getting such poor resultsso i feel if im going to be averaging 3oz per plant then i need to put in more plants to be hitting the 2lb mark. Seems logical to me but im learning as im going and things that seem to make sense dosnt really apply through several factors. Im stumped lol
Yeah mate my last grow was 4 cloned plants, in 11L standard square pots, in 70/30, vegged for 5 weeks and total yeild was 12.5oz.You can easily hit 2lb in there after you get her dialed in. I get 1lb out of a 3x3 on 400w (240@3k 100@4k 60@550nm/ir) regularly.
You have over twice the room. (9sf vrs 25sf) mind if I ask what your total yield was last grow?
Im definitely using SCROG this time with 2x nets, and with all other factors discussed staying the same,
Which would probably yeild more?...
5x plants in 20L airpots
OR
9x plants in 11L airpots?
Tbh im trying my hardest and spending all my free time researching and watching youtube vids but my grows just wont replicate what i read and watch.
