Growing takes experience, don't matter what the internet says it's all about your choices.
Anyone doing over 3lb / 4x4 using LED's?

Yup. DE1000 n Phillips builb.

That's clearly bigger than a 4x4...
That's not a 4x4 he's full of shit
Holy shit we agree on something again! I won't believe anything over 2lb from a true 4x4 best I've done is 1.8 same situation wall to wall buds at least 5 foot tall plants I don't use co2 so maybe that could help get over 2lb.

There is 4 sections , it’s very easy to see the 2 different strains that are in the pics.
Well a door is 32in wide that canopy clearly takes up 2 doors worth of space based on that pic so I would say that's a 5.5x5.5 space. That a big difference from a walled in 4x4 space and extra 10 square feet is where the extra weight is. Wonderful looking grow but not a 4x4 I promise you that
What tent? One of my tents labeled 4x8 is actually 4.5x9 I've just seen too many 4x4 that are actually bigger. Or someone uses a 4x4 tray an claims it's a 4x4 but buds are sticking a foot over every side. Most times if it sounds too good to be true it is

This is my old 4'x4' (6' tall) box. These plants were all 8-12oz dry and I'd have 6 of them at a time in the box. 1200W at 1.4g per watt. If you do the maths, it's easy to do 3+lb per 4x4. I'm doing an easy 24oz (1.5lb) per 4'x2' at the moment under 400W of LED over here: https://www.rollitup.org/t/samsung-strips-still-going.977206/#post-14509906

Biggest limiting factor for many is square footage, it's the main reason breeders give yield estimates in m2 .

a pic is worth a thousand words
everyones talking about 4x4 space
watts per sq ft,
type of lighting,
cO2,
proper enviroment
proper nutrition
pest free
why not 3 units per 4x4 provided you got enough light, lots of guys are bumping yields with strategic supplemental or lower lighting
id refer to watts per sq ft vs grams per sq ft
and remember that LED should produce a min of 25% more up to 33% using equal watts compared to HPS
having said all that id say its impractical to think your going to get these yields every harvest and with every strain.
setting the average goal at 2lbs yield per run in a 4x4 tray using 1000 watt hps seems reasonable

He said he got 4lb per 4x4 just can't wrap my head around a qp per square foot

are we talking about the thread starter or someone commenting
ah ok
ya that's hard to believe with a single lamp and no overlapping light in a true 4x4 canopy

600 watt HPS 4x4 grow, 30 O's no CO2.
And I could of fit 3 more plants in there.
750 DE covering a 4x8, yielded 2.2 pounds.
To me 3 lbs would be pushing it in a 4x4 enclosed space . It definitely would be wall to wall buds with little room for airflow through the canopy.

The over lapping light does give an advantage,

beautiful! and that's using hps and no Co2

I cant say I always get over 2 units but id say im averaging 2 units using 750 watts of LED ..no co2
(@boilingoil is beating me using HPS which is awesome)
some times I get slightly more (2.25) some times a little less (1.75) strain dependent and environmental considerations
