damn i misread just a bit.
-yes im using a blend of sunshine and coco mix in 5 gal pots (most of the time, as of now im trying 7 gal vs 10 gal)
-no matter how many plants i have under 600 Watts, i can achieve on average and easy 1lb to 1.5 lbs. like i said above, im liking 6 plants under a 600W.
-I water anywhere from everyday or every other day. i judge the amount of water in my medium upon watering. when i do water, i do not strive for run off. in my pots, i can feel the moisture collection at the bottom. I only strive for run off when i feel there is something wrong with my plants and try to give them a good flush. If using sunshine mix #4 straight, i feel that if you water until you get runoff than you are over watering. just my opinion.
-as far as how long i veg, well that depends. i dont limit my veg to time of days in veg, i usually kick them into my flowering rooms once my other cycle is finished in flower. Im used to having 2 flowering rooms and 1 veg and everything was on rotations of 4 weeks. Which usually gives me 4 - 5 weeks to veg. my clones grow out in dixie cups, then transplant to 2 gal root pots, then transplant into 5, 7, or 10 gal pots one week before flower. and so on. I recently moved an took a break from cultivating... much needed. but now im back at it and currently building my double flower rooms with 4 600ws in each. i strive to get a nice lil 5 pack every month! fun timeZ
hope my rant answered ur q's
much love, smoke, and peace
