you could do a SOG, but then again you could also do a massive ScrOG, which IMHO would work out better. SOG is a little more involved, and your growing more plants with less yield per plant. You could alternatively do a ScrOG, and get a higher yield with less plants. Lets say you typically get 1.5-2 oz off of a plant, which is on the high end. What you wanna do is, get yourself 8 feminized plants of a high yielding strain, and top them bitches as soon as they hit 4 nodes, and again when they recover and grow another 2 nodes. Once they get to about 12-18" tall, throw a screen in above the plants (preferably chicken wire, but any screen will work that has about 3" holes in it) about 4-5 inches above the plant tops, and throw it into flowering. Once into flower, all you have to do is make sure that there is only one budsite per hole in the screen, and throughout flowering just keep adjusting the canopy and the budsites to where theyre all growing uniformly. Youll get your LB if you do it right -- OR you could do the same thing, only without the screen --
Do the same thing, but no screen, and when you throw the plant into flowering, take your CFLs and fix them along the walls down towards the middle and the bottom of the plants, while keeping your HPS glowing up top. This will make sure that you maximize the potential of every single budsite, rather than getting fully developed topbuds, but sorry ass undergrown nuggets underneath the canopy. As long as your growing your plants right, i dont see why a pound isnt phesable without having to grow 32 plants man. I got an 8 plant grow goin right now, n even though i dont expect an lb from the grow, i do hope for at least a Z off each plant, which is a reasonable expectation. As long as your not expecting to get an lb from one or two plants, your golden man, just grow within reason, and your good. (although ive seen people get 10+ oz from one plant by doing a ScrOG grow, and it was fuckin awesome, lol)
good luck man,
