Best possible way to achieve 1lb/mo perpetual, how can I maximize -two 600W-

[treesforme]

Hello everyone, I have been doing lots of reading/research but I still keep questioning which route I should take, my goal is 1lb/month at least.

I currently have 9 Dinafem auto white widows under a 600w HPS, and 10 Diesel Ryder autos under the other 600w. I also have a fem Ultra sour by TH seeds that is about 1 month old from seed.

What is the best way for me to get the most yield perpetually with my current setup, which includes:

-4'x8' tent w/ mylar
-two 600W HPS
-FFOF soil/nutes

I have an entire bedroom that I am using as the "grow room", which is where the 4x8 tent is.

PICS:

How often are you adding plants? It looks like you are already full. I add and remove plants every 2 weeks. So my plants have an uphill slope to the finish line, which I have more light output at. You could put one light on a mover (6" to 12" of movement) and the other light fixed. That way 60% to 70% is covered by one 600 (week 1 thru 6) and 30% to 40% is covered by the other 600 to finish.

man you got mad room. let everything finish out and get a perpetual going.
autos are fast but less yeild go regular photo period plants and LST/top em bush
em out start like 4 every 2 weeks for 2 months thats 16 plants. and bush em out.
so down the line youll have a harvest every 2 weeks of 4 plants. and lst and bush
em so theyre capable of a 4 oz harvest. may wanna do from clone so no possibility of males

Unless you plan on constantly buying seeds or have a way to perpetually acquire rooted cuttings you have to chose and est a choice mother. Some growers take their next set of clones right from their mini-vegging set, but with some strains genetic drift can become an issue later on. Depending on how long your strain takes to finish (I always plan on 10 weeks, even for those that list at just 8 or slightly more) you've gotta break that down into 5, 2-week stages that will fit your 4x8 tent. A truly fast blooming strain that lists around 45-50 days will work better for your high production goals, needing only 4 stages to finish. SOG will give you the highest top end yields w/the quickest turn around times.

I would go with shooting for 8 newly rooted plants every 2 weeks in at least 1 gal pots or larger. When dialed in you should be able to average a zip plus off each SOG spear. That's a half elbow every 2 weeks or about a lb per mo.

Trouble is LSTing, more so pinching or bushing takes too long as the plants take time to recover b4 resuming full speed growth. Double the number and go SOG-style. Less fussing around and more high quality bang out the back end. SOG gardens yield far less duffy half potent mid/bottom branch nugs per yield and those top cola spears produce the phatest, most potent buds on any plant.

Posted these on another thread but my new perp grow is in a 5x11 space w/twin 1000 HPS lights. Just getting started off a new pheno I could only take a few clones from at first. I veg for 2 weeks and they're almost too big by the time they respond to 12/12 and will have to make adjustments. Due to light plant count I've been LSTing 'em to boost yield. The first set of just 3 should fetch almost 2 zips apiece. They still have over 3 weeks to go. The next set of 4 are crazy big already though only about a 1/3 of the way home.
