yeah, that's right. So almost 20oz per plant but that was big bud, vegged FOR EVER, scrogged to the absolute balls.. 4.5 x4.5 screen for EACH plant, and Co2 in a sealed room. the 1.4 includes all the tiny little popcorn buds and everything. I was more motivated back then, now I just hang, grind, and hash all that nonsense.

But that was NOT my first grow, I had an unbelievable veg, and I was running Co2 in a sealed room with a a strain known for producing weight. It was the perfect storm so to speak. Is this guy going to achieve that under a single 600 in an open room? I would bet my left nut on it. (but only because my left one is the slightly smaller one. LOL).

i bought HG at first but was told Canna was 10x better, but it is also that much more expensive. so 4 to 8 oz isn't possible but 1.3lb is off one plant... should i have gotten a 1000w but i think that would be way to hot for that little walk in closet.

Whoever told you that is a liar. They are the same nutrient pretty much just rebranded and they cost the same give or take a couple dollars.

Ionic and dynagro are like the cheapest premium nutrients. I pay 15 bucks a bottle. Only reason why im switching is to just try something else out and now I feel I won't be wasting the H&G now that i've had 2 grows under my belt and don't kill plants anymore.

2 600s would work killer in that sized area. Put each reflector 1.5 feet off the wall the 6ft length. 50 watts per square foot. Right now you're doing 25. Which is kind of low. But the bigger problem is that 600w is going to have a hard time spanning 6ft. It can be done, just not optimum lighting.

Save some bucks on nutrients and buy an air cooled hood to deal with the heat. Go big to grow big.

6oz per plant? That's 24oz of dried bud.. ergo 1.5 pounds off a single 600 watt bulb? Cough... Bullshit... cough.

My most banger grow ever was just under 1.3 pounds for each 600. That is with co2, full climate control. the works.

It looked something like this... well, not something like it, this was the run, there are three plants in there under 3 600's

well keep on smoking some more, so u could cough more mr.numbers man. i had a chocolate rain, 1 extrema and 2 shackzillas in my previous run. the choco rain yeilded around 6 1/2oz, extrema was 4oz and the 2 shacks were 5 and 7. shack being my best yeilder. those numbers are pretty fucking close if you ask me. i got 2 shacks right now, by the time they done, i know im gonna have over a pound from the 2.

Sure I'll keep coughing as long as you keep comparing apples to oranges. You pulled 1.4 and change from 1000 watts. That's 40% more light than a single 600. So if you multiply your yield by the difference in light... You got .64 grams a watt. .64 x 600 = .84 pounds.

Now .84 is a far cry from 1.5 pounds is it not?

Not trying to be a dick about it, but it's important to have realistic expectations.

hey , im not being a dick either or trying to argue withe you. if the guy, lets say puts 4 plants under a 600w, grown properly, good enviroment, with the right strain, he can get close to that magic 1lb #. to me those are good #s considering that my ass grows very premitive with my lights, fans, ppm meter, ph meter. thats good for me cuz i grow for myself. i dont have a sealed room ,co2 or anything special, just straight up growingthats all.

No way under a 600 no matter the strains unless you vegged for 2+ months. Even then . . . ..

now that i think back, all that i used was a 600w when i first started and i did pretty good for myself. considering that im the only smoker in my house, what ever i pulled from that 600w was alot for me. legal the #s that you are making more sense to me. ill give it to you bro. if i could post pics of these w shacks that i have in action i would, but i dont live in a happy state yet. what will do is come back to this thread and post a pic of the total amount of bud that i pull off these 2 chicks:)
