HOW TO GET A POUND OFF A 600 w hps

[theone718]

Im usually 1.4 to 2 pounds off my 600, organic botanicare nutes and a decent yielding strain usually do the trick.

And veg time definitely and directly effects yield. Whoever said contrary in one of these comments was wrong.

Just added an led this round. Cut down one plant and it pulled 10 oz. Have another 1 to chop next week thats bigger than the first. And blue dream this go.

i get a pound per 600w... almost exactly one pound, sometimes a little over. I do four plants in 10 gallons per light and top/tie them down hard... I usually veg for around six weeks topping about 5x... I think the key is to never let them root bind... if the plants know they were in a 1gallon pot they slow down.... but i dont really notice a huge yield diff between my 600s and the single 1000w i use... I just get more penetration with the 1000w.. In your setup i agree with booms, six plants in 5 gallon pots trained... you can even scrOg out a tent really easily. Tents are all about training to get any yield... since you cant let your plants get tall at all

Good advice..

hang the bulb vertical, and surround the plants with it.
put your exhaust directly over the bulb and a small fan blowing upwards and you're good to go

That's a good idea nigga.. my hps isn't in a cool tube no way why not try ya digg

If ya don't like veg time I would run a sog. No veg times. Just rooted 6-8" clones straight to 12/12. Between 32-36 plants in 2l bottles hempy style. But of course you would need a mother plant to take the clones from.

I have one 600 watt hps light and I use 5 gallon bucket in a 4x4x6. How many you think I could fit in there and could I yield a lb. I'm running northern lights and an indica dom thai. I do a perpetual ATM but if I could get an lb from one 9 week run then I wouldn't have to do perpetual any more.i smoke about 1/8 a day sometimes more( depending on pain) so I need to have enough to last through the grow and the cure.

I just go to the hydro store and buy the bottle with the best cartoon on it, is that not the right way?

It always seems like I have a few weeks to wait. I used to do 3 gall poly bags so I have no idea what I would yield of a 5 gallon girl. I'm hopping 3 zip from each. If that's the case then I could do 6 in there but it seems like it would be a squeeze!

Perpetual is just a pain mixing up different nute everyday (cause I use coco coir.)for each set of plants. PAIN IN MY ASS!

I run a 1000w, perpetual flowering tent in a 38inch by 38 inch, and a 24inch x 3 foot cloning/vegging tent, normally 4 plants in DWC/2.5 gallon pots, with with hydroton rock, I clone using a Ez-Cloner...

What I do: Before I put a clone into flower, I take clones from it, and wait 7-10 days, while the clone I just took, roots, once roots show, into flowering the original clone goes. This way if the clones I cut die, I can take more before I start the original clone flowering. This way I ensure survival.....

So into flowering the original clones go....

I then take the clones that are showing roots; and put them in 5 gallon buckets, set their nutrients at "general purpose".. according to "General Hydro", which is the only nutes I use.. I will let them sit in those 5 gallon buckets for 2 weeks, sometimes more...

So then once they get branches going, I will trim them back... and keep trimming them back until I see that the plants in the flowering tent are almost done... When I see I am about a week away from harvest, I take more clones, reset my nutes from "general purpose feeding" on the clones to full strength vegging, (I then harvest) and then put the clones into the flowering tent. I run vegging nutes for the first 2-3 weeks of flowering, and then convert over to "transition to bloom and then full bloom.

(PS. I use shorter 2.5 gallon buckets in flowering, it keeps my plants shorter than 5 gallon buckets... so they fit just perfect under the 1000W, as I don't have a lot of head room, JUST enough, sometimes one or two tips will get a little bleached, no big deal.)

I work in my grow room, about every 3rd day. give or take a day.

I can get a bit over a 1lb in about 90 -110days, but with perpetual I am getting a 1/2 lb every month... however, I don't nearly smoke that much, so I have to keep hitting the brakes on my perpetuity every few months... LOL!

In other words, sometimes I am only budding one plant under a 1000w. and am only getting like 2 zips from that plant, while I wait for my next set to get done. Just about when I am scraping the bottom of the barrel on my 2 zips, the 1/2 lb will come in. Put it this way, I am never without, and haven't been without in over a decade. I smoke everyday....

Hope this helps a little..

Is coco better than soil? I been using soil but my yields been shit

No

 

[Maine Buds]

I used to use soil and I like coco better. I'm gonna be mixing half roots organic and half coco. Coco holds no nute at all. You even have to feed seedlings( I just found out)
