Rock on, that seems like a good yield for 388watts. And dude for what's it worth I screwed up in my drying and curing process, it sucks

The point is that you don't need that many watts for one plant, and you shouldn't be proud of .44 gpw.
We've seriously derailed this thread. I think OP's question has been answered.

just giving you shit dude.
but seriously, you need more light for bloom, they look healthy so that's good.

I agree, used HID kit will be best bang for buck to get feet wet.

But if he starts at the top,the hardest part is out the way... Get the 288 and be done with it... Then get autopots!!!

It had turned into a discussion about Way2-high's plant long before I got here. By "we" I was including myself. Now we can include you!

Can't go wrong with an autocob for 120$. They are 65 watt now btw. Qb's, and optic 1's are good choices too. But I think the autocob is the best value. I am getting 2g/watt from mine doing auto flowers. I have them documented in the auto flower section.
They are a hidden little gem not talked about much on RIU, not sure why.

$2 per watt for a cob ufo? Doesn't sound like a good deal to me...

Can you show me a better deal that uses the same quality cob and driver ? I cant seem to find one. The only comparable I have found is Optic 1, Mygro, and Mars cob. And they all are more expensive. I cant even build one myself in Canada using same quality parts for cheaper. Efficiency is paramount, and I am sure you will be hard pressed to link me something better for cheaper.

It's a bit more expensive, but another option is the 75 watt 3590/Meanwell from Rapid for $150. It also offers color temp and dimmable options.

600 watt HPS. Done. Regardless of what all the LED guys say there is nothing wrong with HID. It's a proven lighting technology for growing plants and can be had for $150 instead of an $800 LED.
I'm so sick of everyone slamming HPS because they bought some overpriced LED and have to justify it by slamming a lighting technology that has been growing good weed for decades. Go ahead and spend $800 on a light that produces the same results as a $150 HID. I'm growing weed not playing with technology. I'll continue growing fire with my HPS while others are looking at charts, light spectrum's, and focusing on drivers. Plus the money I save by not spending four to five times as much to get the same light intensity will be well spent on single malt scotch.
Now I have to go plant some tomatoes in the garden. Oh by the way, I feed my vegetables the same nutrients I use to grow pot. I also don't pay for bottles of watered down chemicals in fancy bottles with cool sounding names. It's a damn plant. Not rocket science. And it doesn't need the latest doo dads and overpriced technology to grow.
