I know that I can grow what I like and usually put 12 or 9 plants in a square. This obviously may not suit your growing laws.
Check this pic above of a UK grow in NFT. These guys got me into NFT hydro but i switched to all mix last year for the Bl rh. This was their 6th grow btw so hang on in there!
Anyway, this is 4 clones in a 1.5metre tent. 2 weeks veg and 7 weeks flower. They get 750g with those 2 lights. They do a lot of LST for SCROG in the 2 week veg period to get as many colas as possible. We don't believe in wasting veg time or aiming for maximum grams per litre of soil. WE NOT SILLY. Plus 600w only stretches so far. Check the broccoli shape from pruning. That's Max light efficiency. No popcorn at the bottom.
They have 2 tents now and produce 1.5 kg of this strain called 'Family plant' every 9 weeks. Bucks area.
So apart from having full time jobs they get £9K per harvest. That's £4.5K a month extra!! They don't even consider themselves commercial growers. They go on holiday to places like Mexico and take their race car to the tracks in Germany. They could easily afford to pay for their wife's PhD!!
they certainly aren't poorpers because of their grow.
Check how their canopy is full? Not a stupid single cola with lack of pruning in site is there ? Plus all the leaves look great at the end of harvest.
So be aware of making your grow suit you and please experiment with pruning and LST. Just watch Labs and see what he gets up to. Also, watch this girlfriend of mine who's just started. Labs was spot on abt what he said abt PK def, i could even prove his theory to you right now. When you have 12 clones in a sq metre and the bigger ones get purple first and the smaller ones don't, you know the bigger ones are hungry. Observation is key!
Those pics I posted achieved 530g/600w. In hydro I could get 560g with 9 plants but it's inconsistent and I think the soil tastes better and reduces stretch. Hydro is relentless tho. I'll start my NFT again soon. Either way I'm top shelf and I've proved it to you.
I'm here to help anyway. Labs knows I can readily give advice and back off also. In real life they call me La Reina. Lol that's what counts isn't it? RIU aren't paying my wages.
I'd love it if you guys progress to this. Just keep looking. If the HPS light confuses you then take the plant out the room. This was a problem for my blue eyes. Love those glasses. Been chopping tonight with them.
Remember, it's all about grams/watt. NOT grams/ L of soil!
