Let me re-ask the question for you.
Everyone else answer this question instead.:
"How long would I need to veg 4 plants in a 4x4 tent using 1000 watts of HID to get a full canopy?"

Depends on how good a grower you are, but since you're asking I assume an inherent lack of experience.

2 months veg and my plants each do a 5x5 area...

Same. Scrog and you could pull a bit more.

just curious as I have never gone for a yield that big before with such few plants. If i was going for a LB I would grow out multiple plants more than 4 but this time I am limited.
My last grow was a white widow in DWC and I'm shooting for about 10 oz off of her but it was a single plant and I figure I vegged for a little under 3 months.
Was wondering how quickly I could do it with 4 instead of 1.

4x4 canopy area, 1kW hid, should be worth 1.5 pounds easy, 2+ being very possible. With 4 plants I would be vegging a about month from clone, probably at least 6weeks from a bean.just curious as I have never gone for a yield that big before with such few plants.

that is what I was looking for thank ya that seems reasonable
Hate to be "that guy" , well not really im cool with it, but the best question is with what strain? Grinspoon or Critical Kush? Blueberry or SLH? AK or Holy grail? Id guess it would take a yr with grinspoon, 13 weeks with critical kush. But yeah, an elbow per 1k is pretty basic, an elbow per 600 is slightly more difficult but not too much with the right strain

I dunno, probably 4 weeks veg depending on strain. Bubble buckets are awesome. I vegged 6 plants for 3 weeks in a ebb and flow and I think I'll get over a lb. Would have been more because I started with 8 and had to toss 2 off them. So it shouldn't be that hard really. My last run I used bubble buckets but only a 400 Watt hps, I had 5 plants in 2x4 tent and I got 19.3 oz which was also a 3 week veg

Not 19.3, I dunno where that number came from, 11.5 oz, damn auto correct

I'm confused lol. I pulled 410ish grams from 6 White Russian plants and thought it was a miracle lol. That was a 25 day veg and a 400 w and 4 T5 HO's. It was my first hydro grow and still the biggest.

Damn 400g is awesome and very impressive, especially for your first hydro grow!! I've only hit 1 gpw a few times, but I usually avg 24oz on a 1000w, give or take 4 oz for different strains. The op was just wondering if it's easy to get a lb with a 1000w, which should be pretty easy with a 4 week veg. I only got 11. 5 last time with my 400 Watt hps because it wasn't air cooled and I got a very tall sativa pheno that screwed the grow up, the plants were growing on top of the light lol, epic fail
Here's a couple pics of it pre flower, the indica pheno produced much more flowers, but the sativa was 10x better tasting smelling and the high was great

If you're in a 4x4 space, you have to consider your height. If you're going to grow four plants for a full 8 weeks of veg, they might be too tall for your space. So then top and scrog. And make sure you're dealing with the heavy yielding strain.
I get a modest 3 ounces dry weight per plant with 400W, vegging for 5 weeks and topping for four main colas. You have more light, you can veg longer with scrog -- you should be able to hit a pound with four plants pretty easily.

Like I said I was spoiled and have yet to hit that again! But yes my grows are fast and furious as I'm about to run out so don't have a lot if time to do much training. Never tried scrog due to extended veg times but have seen some pretty impressive grows. Also only 2 years doing hydro so I know crap lol.
