Help me maximize my sog yield

After a shitty first grow that gave me less than an ounce for 3 planrs flowered under 600 watts led im looking forward to a new approach. My set is a grow tent thats 60 inch tall 19.5 deep and 63 in wide. My lights are 600 watts led and i have fan and carbon filter in thier. My new grow i am planning on cutting my tent in half so it will be 60 inch tall 19.5 deep and 32.5 wide so the led will have maximing coverage and penatration. I can fit 12-14 1 gallon buckets in thier. Since i have hieght advange ill probably veg for 2-3 weeks and flip to flower. Ima use earth juice as nutes and the strain will be probably og kush or master kush i really made alot of mistakes on my first grow like putting it out door to vegg when it actually flowered. Also i had the lights on high like 2-3 feet away so all sides of the tent get light. And i have the plants repotted in 5 gallon buckets whiched stopped growing and just budded. So any suggestions i can do to increase my yields? Im happy with a few ounces but shit half oz is not worth the electricity abd labor.

well if you are looking for more weight and og and master are the two you are looking at my weight was more with my master then my og so i would go for master. 1 gallon pots for a sog is perfect. and maybe its the lighting i have not gone that way but i hear alot of mixed results when it comes to led..(but this is me)go with a hps you will be happy you did

I thought LED grow lights were still terrible for flowering? I've only ever heard that they are decent for veg

I think that you may want to switch your lighting. LED lights are not quite up to par yet. The technology "sounds" promising, but as you have learned from your last grow, the yield was not there. I bet that if you switch to a 600W HPS light to flower under, your yield will increase AT LEAST 2x. Maybe even more... The technology for LED usage during flowering is just not there yet... I've read that they do ok during VEG, but I've also read many people citing the same complaint you had: Small yield... I hope that you'll give a 600W HPS light a chance. I use 400W HPS lights for flowering, and they do really well... Good luck to you with your next grow! Keep us posted on how it goes, no matter what you decide.
