16 plants in 3 gallon pots of coco per 4x8 table, 2 tables, 4 de lights, 24k btu mini split and I was pulling anywhere from 8-10lbs. Could have pulled more if my room wasn't so small I barely fit the tables in there and the de lights could have covered a bit more space. Also had no C02 in that room.
5 Pound Setup?

I think you would get more weight overall by having two 4.5x4.5ft footprints rather than 4x4.
Would make it easier to hit the higher numbers since your lights can light that space up.

Is that a measuring tape on the wall between the sets of plants? Fantastic if it is. Setup looks sweet, well done.
Also, does anyone think the OP hit his 5 lb mark with no experience?
He disappeared in 2013, wish I knew now lol.sf_frankie

Yeah. It’s one of those tapes they put on the doors of convenience stores so they can get a rough height estimate of a criminal when they run out the door LOL. Some of the plants in there are pushing 6’ when not tied down.

The manufacturer said the flowering footprint of their 600w light was 4x4. I upgraded mine to 720w so I’m hoping my actual flowering footprint is closer to 4.5x4.5 with the wattage bump. The tables and trellis frame are 5x5 and as you can see they’re pretty much filled. Dunno what will happen with the stuff on the edge but I’ve got most of the colas outside of that tied down and directed under the light as much as possible. Trying any trick I can to get max yield.

Hygro hybrid youtube channel, follow his instructions on his extremely long videos. For all the new people coming to this thread thats the way to go but to sum up the thread and his videos here is what I'll give you.
For x number of pounds buy x of the following:
1)Pick a medium(ex. Paint bucket Dwc)
2)Pick some nutrients(ex.botanicare PBP)
3)Pick a light (ex.1000 w $150 kit)
4) pick a grow tent (ex.$120 5by5)
5)Pick out some good seeds(ex.exotic genetics)
6)buy a $80 R/O filter and some ph up down
7)almost forgot about mammouth P and Wallace magic wonder microryza but great white is also good and what I use rn.
follow instructions on nutrients and ph to 6.3
9) Flower for 4 weeks longer then the grower says.
Im high and typed this so dont hate me

I have the ability to hit 10-14 pounds a harvest but I too have $20000 into my set up. If you have enough MONEY, space, electricity available, TIME and willing to go OCD researching, it’s not that difficult. It’s literally a part time job and takes A SHIT LOAD of time training, feeding and caring for your girls. WAY more time and energy then you’d ever imagine. For me, 80 gallon feeds, mixing 9 products, and 200 gallon flushes are very time consuming. Not to mention time it takes to Schwazze. It took me about 24-26 hours to all of my girls and I have to do it twice a flower.

I was going to say the same thing about Renfro but you beat me to it. However, he’s also running over 20000 watts. I did the math, after reading his journal and he’s doing a touch less then 1.1g/watt, which isn’t very good by today’s LED stardards, when looking at it in those terms. I’m not knocking him because he’s obviously the freakin man, but that’s A LOT of power to produce those yields. That has to be factored in, but definitely massively impressive. He inspired me to eventually put in side lighting and make the sides footprints too. I’m waiting to get more power from the PUD cause my current service is maxed out. Then will probably use the Chinese knock off’s from Alibaba, for sides, but buy a few extra as back ups. Would need to triple my split AC size too.

g/w isnt all exactly an accurate measurement..... he is probably not including fluffy bottom shit in that final weigh in. Yeah he is running crazy watts but he also has a lot of 5 pound plants. 2,000w should get a single plant to 5 pounds pretty easily.

I donno, w the right clones and lights you can pull 4ounces per sq ft x about 3ft tall. Thats 4lbs per 4x4ft.

Only 6# out of 10 1k lights? Setting the bar real low arent we?Give me a 10 x 10 area. Four 1k hps lights. Some Promix and 36 five gallon pots. I'll give you 6 plus pounds in 14 weeks maximum.
If I can start from rooted clone take 2 weeks off the 14
I think he said 6 lbs off 4K hps, which is better than most can get. 1.5 per 1k HPS is solid. You really gotta have great strain and zero issues to get more. I tell newbies 1 per 1k and your doing going ok. Just don’t buy into the nutrient snake oil hustle.
Switching to AN and dropping loads of cash ain’t gonna get you to 2 lbs per 1k. Next is to confirm the strain will yield big and then look at the environment and your pruning methods. The latter plays a much bigger role than many realize.

Thats not even a gram per watt. Everyone with half a brain should be able to pull a gram per watt.
Gram per HPS watt? Not including larf? That’s over 2lbs of solid top grade nugs per 1k. Yeah not many can do that, especially if scaled up. Maybe 1 light on an ebb and flow with a couple dozen or more plants.
2 lbs per 1k hps makes you a boss. Yeah I can and have but not every run. Guess me and the many growers I know suck.

Pizza, don't even reply to this asshole.
1) He can't read. He's a fucking dumbass
2) Even when he knows he's wrong he's still a dumbass
3) Put him on ignore like I did. I mistakenly took it off a few days ago but he's back on it now

Why do you need so much space, besides using HPS light? I can quite easily get more then that with 1/4 less space!Give me a 10 x 10 area. Four 1k hps lights. Some Promix and 36 five gallon pots. I'll give you 6 plus pounds in 14 weeks maximum.
