Looks good man. You should pull home some dense weight with that much wattage in that room. I'm working on stacking more lights all the time. lol.

With 4k watt in lighting!? So what went wrong?

I had 15 plants in the room but 5 of them fell and I didn’tsee them till it was too late. So only 10 produced well. The saving grace wasthe 1 lb 11 oz plant that I had up front that I could really nurture the most. Was5 ft tall and abt 4.5 ft wide. Had really tight buds. I focused allot of lighton that one.
I know its hard to believe that indoor will produce that but it will and Ihave. This to date is the largest yielding plant I have ever had so im lookingforward to the next cycle because I have the mother to this one and cut 15clones from her a few days ago.
I am also doing some pyramid seeds called tutankomun, they are supposed to bevery high in THC. Around 25% or better tested in Barcelona. I know that is inideal conditions with like scientist growing them but who knows might be a goodproducer. Also they are a little shorter and will work well in my system.

I don't know why others have a hard time believing you, it's not like you are getting great results. 3rd cycle with 4k watt in lighting... you should get double the yield you actually got. There are a lot of people here (NL) who use a Gavita 1000watt lamp and they call it roughly translated the "kilo-boomer" - regardless of the amount of plants (some guy trying with just 1 plant in cement bucket, scrogged). I suggest replacing the lighting with something more efficient as you can pull the same yield with 2k less power. Clearly adding the different types of light hasn't worked, not for yield and frankly some of the photos show lots of popcorn/fluffy buds.

Been trying some different light set ups, this time I’mgoing to use more side lighting with HO floros. Also I'm going to reconfigurethe led side of the light situation. I also found that the organic nutes I wasusing clogged half my jets going into the grow chambers. So won’t be using themthis cycle.
Its a learning experience with hydro so im up for the challenge. Does take moretime and effort but the quality and taste is allot better then soil.
The fluffy buds were near the clogged side of the chamber so I think thedensity was affected in that manner.
Also I really am trying to keep the plants at a shorter height but seems myclones are more sativa dominant. So going with a new strand also.

Yeah keep them smaller (perfectly doable with sativas as well, top/fim/lst/sog/scrog/bend/pinch/etc) and use only HPS with a good reflector (we call'm depth-beamers, no idea of the english word for it, sorry) from the top. Some good reflective foil or mirrors even from the sides and you can have dense buds from top to bottom.
I.o.w. if I were you I would focus on growing more efficient and put quality over quantity, rather than going for more yield by adding more lights (it's not a race, I don't even get why you want to prove anything to others in a forum). You got less than 0.5 gr/w, I have no problem believing that. And it leads me to thinking that much of the wattage you are using has zero effect. I would try to get my hands on a light meter, pretty sure it would pay for itself.
Anyway, good luck with your next cycle.

Well, that's a matter of taste and opinion and a whole other discussion by itself. I'm pretty sure your hydro yield doesn't taste nearly as good as my 100% organic soil grow, but I also switched to hydro recently and taste was not on my list of motivations for doing so (hydro = more control = faster vegging + bigger yields).
Anyway, good luck with your next cycle.
