i hear sum say 600 is over kill 4 veg but why ? you have to take into account how many your vegging under a 600 to come to that conclusion i ve just ran 2 600 for 22 babies and could nt of got as tight internodes if i did nt!! anythin under this and your yeild will suffer in the long run trust me i ve done it as soon as i flip a 3rd 600 is added to my babies then a 4th at week 6 of flower on a 9 week strain and still you get popcorn so i take all lower stuff off at week3 of flower and no sooner easier to trim at end and it takes no energy from your plants so it uses all it as at the top of the plant imo see my pictures and you ll see i never get any popcorn guys just nice and plum bud!!
cheddar when you saying anything under this and your yeild will suffer, are you regarding the amount of plants which should be placed under a 600w?

and how many do you think should be under one 600 ..
I say 9, and more and yield will suffer.
i grew 13 and still pulled 2 ounce a plant.

haha, is that an ebay listing or something? I'd fecking love to place the order for that and set up some cheeky cameras to see catch the elevated police presence around my house haha. Would be hard for the popo not to become aware of that kind of shipment :D Wait for the inevitable raid, then sue the pants off them for extreme mental trauama :p

The way i see it it depends on your growing style, i like SOG stick 20 plants under 600w and pull an OZ per plant with very little veg time. Ive seen a vertical setup with 70 plants in it with one 600w and this guy pulled an OZ per plant. Yield doesnt suffer with more plants it all depends on how you grow

yeah sorry ttt i'm with sambo on that. it doesnt make sense, someone else is just gonna make the money any way, might as well be you with ur time and effort put in.

never seen this thread so busy lmao
Yeah cos we're all sick of spending £280 an oz! haha
Seriously tho, the soaring prices (its 10'er a gram round here for the good stuff & thats all the way up to an oz - £280) is the reason i'm on here learning how to grow.

random side question - any uk growers on here use LEDs?

I know what you mean, think all us growers would like more space for our grows but you can achieve monster yields with just one plant and vertical lights. Google heath robinson grows and see what this guy is doing, its up too you whether you believe the numbers this guy pulls because he blows the gram per watt rule right out the water

no way, ill keep saying it because its not viable... who will buy ounces for 250 or 280 when they can only brake it down and make 280 anyway...
and i dont think many people use LED'S .. i hear its really expensive.

Yeah i believe his numbers.. i got 1,3gpw on a similar grow in soil...
i would love to do some of his grows... especially the shelved grow he did, 2 lights pulling 8 plants a week .. would love it. but need a whole room

i grow in sog and to get tight internodes you need good light. using a shit light will make them stretch hence why i use 2 600 s during my weeks of veg a 3rd once i flip as it helps with the stretch as they do during the 1st 2 to 3 weeks of flower and a 4th 600 in week 6 as this is wen they need the energy from our lights to pack on the weight using photosynthesis. a rule i use is 4 to 5 plants at 3 or 4 ft tall to a 600 hps in late flowerin. during veg 10 plants to a 600 max unfortunately my mate cant count and i ended up with 22 instead of 20 but all is good with a little trimming.

would love to get back into a room setup myself to try these grows out but im stuck in grow cabs until i move house. Forgot to say 1.3 gpw is good for soil, never achieved that myself in soil only hydro

stick 20 under 4 600 hps in sog. 2 weeks veg 9 weeks flower and pull 4oz a plant dried and cured not sticky bud or holding moisture you can crumble it into your joints without pulling at the bud as i ve seen done many a time happy days 80 oz off 20 plants. your yield will suffer if your lights dont penatrate your canopy bro trust me its a fact!!

sorry jimmy but 70 oz pulled from 1 600 hps is not happening bro was he weighing it wet because thats the only way your gettin those numbrs mate vertical or not. the most i ve seen pulled from 1 600 is 28 oz and trust me it was dry bro but not cured

your talking 4 600w so ofcourse you will pull more weight more light equals more penetration. My point is yeild doesnt suffer if you have more plants under a light depends on how you grow

Not saying its true fella its up too you to make your own mind up. Google heath robinson vertical grow an have a butchers, this guy got 70 plus oz from one plant in one of his grows but i cant remember how many lights he had. Even so if its true then thats some going.
