20 pounds a month

hi guy im new to riu been looking around for a few weeks. I been growing for about a year i do SOG style about harvest every month about 1pound out of 35 plants. I want to know what the best way to harvest 20 pounds every month would be. Probably not SOG. I have a whole empy house with 4 rooms. I was thinking 2 for veg 2 for flower so i can harvest every month. Any advice would be great like how many plants, what size pots, how much wattage per sq ft. how long to veg? Any ideas would be great Thank You all.

Please do not post any criticism just ideas and advice. Thank you

20 pounds a month is crazy ,good luck and i hope to see some creative ideas.

2 trays in each of the 4 rooms. each room should have CO2, and 1 1000W HPS above each tray, probably best to put them on light movers. 32 plants per tray * 8 = 256 plants use a bathroom or two for vegging and clones You're going to want to not do soil. Use 1 gallon pots in the trays filled with hydroton or growcubes. To achieve your 20 pounds you'll also need to utilize the space in the back yard, producing a large harvest once per year... if you can veg out 40 or 50 plants early enough, and then flower them outdoors you will have a massive harvest which divided by 12 would definitely help to meet your 20 pounds per month goal.

Will be pretty hard to just pull 20 pounds per month out of a house. I figure 1-2 lbs per month per tray... that's no more than 16 pounds per month... and that's given perfect conditions as well.

I really dont think you need 20lbs a month, its just asking for trouble. Hopefully you have a fixed electricity bill. Just take your time, 5lbs a month would be nice ;]

Well hey if you pull it off lemme know

we can be best freinds lol

Well i think first ull need a high yeild strain theres alot to choose from so thats smthing u will need to do on your own

You should have one room for strictly mothers 1 for veg 2 for flower im srry but i dnt thnk u cn get do this in a house buh u can get dam near close

You can prolly stay with SOG just every once and a while flower a couple mothers and just remember to replace them

for 20 lbs a month u can be my besttest friend and life long pal. lmao. Dude Id be happy with a pound a month, course I wouldnt be sellin it much just smokin it heeee. Well I dont knowor care where ya live but if its in the USA id be watchin the electricity useage ,u must be runnin at least a k watt light.

This is going to depend heavily upon how you do your grow, and the length of time you veg and under what power lights. You could do maybe 10 pounds per month easier than 20.

Best idea I have, is square foot growing. 18" tall, 12"x12" buckets. For each 15 have a 1000w bulb. Starting from clone and using each room as a staging area (veg, flower wk 1-3, flower wk 4-6, flower wk 7-9+harvest) you could have maybe 10 pounds a month without much sweat (and as GrowTech suggests, use the bathroom, too, maybe for a mother closet or something.)

i get 20 lbs a month growing 1 plant in my fireplace with a flashlight and a picture of the sun.

i know a guy gets 8 kilos every 2 months .. with 260 clones.... or so... peace

sorry he has 2 of these systems... 4 kilos per system... anyway... still allot

thanks for the suggestions. If i veg for about a month or about 20in. tall i should be getting about 3ounces per plant. and to get 20 pounds i would need about 110 plants ( which isent THAT much, you all seen the news with people that have thousands in a house). I'll use 2 rooms to flower, each for 1 month of flower so i will have a harvest every month. 2 other rooms for vegging and maybe the kitchen or bathroom for moms and clones. How does that sound?

I just wanted some advice on what size trays to use how many wattage per sqft. how many trays for each room and what size pots to use? little bit more detailed stuff. Thanks guys

ya but you also have to take into consideration the light and space issue.

sure you can have 110 plants but will each plant have enough space to fully spread out and reach its full harvesting potential?

once you have that figured out you have to figure do i have enough light to each plant to reach that full harvest potential?

if you are trying to squeeze 3 oz out of each plant, you will not be able to do it trying to squeeze 50 plants under each light you know? they will be too cramped and not only will you be cutting down the harvest each could potentially produce but you are inviting mold and mildew with that compact of a canopy..

now I am not saying that it cannot he done, heath did a critical mass tree grow where he got like 4.5 lbs off of 2 plants vegged for 6 weeks and flowered under 1800w. he could have probably added 2 more plants and tweaked the light and got close to 7 or 8 i would imagine.. just gotta be creative, put a plan together and put it into action

good luck

Yep sure have, but thats why they are on the news............

Not being critical, but good results for a 600W is a pound per light, 1000W pound and a half... So, you'll need 15-20 ballasts, bulbs, and vented hoods... At approx. 500 bucks each for quality digital ballasts and decent hoods/bulbs, we're talking up to a 10k dollar startup for equipment, not to mention all the money for fertilizer, pots, media, electric bill...

The area covered would be 4 square feet per light, so you'll need about a small warehouse or three car garage.

And you'll definately need a partner, because you'll never be able to do all that work youself.

My biggest grow was with 12 1000W lights, and that was a all day full time job, I got 15 pounds per harvest every 50 days.

I noticed you said each room flower for a month, the shortest strains are 45 days, long sativas take up to 80...


If you have 20-30k dollars, it's do-able, but with little experience, and not much know how, I'd say it's impossible.


Sorry to speak the truth, but I'm not as sarcastic as bonghits...

although a couple Ps would pay that off real quick

I don't know man. Seems like your askin for trouble.

good morning mr marks...i was wondering ..i was thinking on how a guy could pull this off..if you have a high producing strain..say chronic....and you lolli poped those in two gallon bags and squeeze them tight together..so you have high density..and you planted in a rotational garden..how many of those bags could you fit in a ten bye 5 area?...im thinking at least 120 plants...each one could pull maybe a half ounce ..maybe more off of the top..that would mean 60 oz of dry 3.75 lbs per and four of these sections would keep that harvest comming off every 2 weeks...it would be pushing 16 lbs a month in a 20 by 20 garage? what do you think?if you could get more yield than the half ounce ..per plant..then it might be a done deal..

high hopes for you bro, but you are going to need to be running at least 16,000 watts to pull that off. that puts your elec bill around 2500 bucks (at least here in cali) i know of an medi op that gets 18 lbs or so every 2 months and that is with 8000 watts, just in the flower room. this is done with plants vegged for 6 weeks or so. also, you will have a lot of heat to worry about. good luck and be careful. late

some people get 20 pounds a month from the british goverment.But no one gets 20 pounds a month growing weed.

Hahaha 20£, yeah, I think you get more than that from Parliment if you're unemployed...


These plant numbers per light I'm hearing are ridiculous.

I do 9 plants per light, giving them 1 and 1/3 square feet to grow in, I have a full canopy, and veg for only 3-4 weeks. They fight for light and are as close as I see possible to each other.

I only have 54 plants under 6 600W lights, and average 6 pounds at harvest. The grow area is 14 x 10, and the room is 17 x 20, leaving room around the sides to access the plants.

I don't think you're getting the area a plant needs to grow. Cramming 50 under a light is impossible by my math. That's 7 plants x 7 plants square to get 49. Which gives each plant around 6 inches square to grow, fan leaves are bigger than 6 inches, so, it basically won't work...

You get yields based on square feet and lumen output, my guess is 16,000W - 2,400,000 lumens, and around 20 x 20 of growing space. Not to mention the proper environment, and good fertilizer and technique.

Start off with two lights and learn what you're doing, and invest whatever profit into more equipment.
