Invest Or Not To Invest..Need Help!!

Hello fellow stoners from all corners off the world, I salute you :lol: . I have been thinking recently to grow my own Medical supply an understand what it takes to grow healthy crops. (Intesive research) That being sed, I recently understood the yield 500 gr/ M2 but also hear that it's very common for a crop to produce 1 or 2 oz :-( which is terrible. My question to you is am I better off growing two plants that would produce near enough 500gr each giving them plenty room for growth or growing 9 plants an hope they produce 100gr each?? All comments an answers are welcomed, thanks

I think if you get a good light ( 1000watts ) or a couple 600's
And good fans, you don't really have to worry about 1oz harvests.
Otherwise you could just do staggered grow. Germ every few weeks,
Etc... If you have room to grow a few in your back yard, even better.
Indoor grow during the winter, and have some moms ready
To throw outside in June.
 
Growing outdoors is not an option for me unfortunately, I am currently thinking about buying a 600w LED grow light but just not sure if I should grow 12 (which would be the extreme limit) or growing 6 leaving them with plenty of room?? Any suggestions

You arent going to grow 12 under 1 600w LED.. Forget the LED and get a 600w HPS/MH combo. You can easily pull 12+oz per cycle unless you just totally suck at growing shit, which some people do.

You can get a 600 hps with digital ballast, bulb and hood for $200 and a 6" inline fan for $75 from HTG.

That should net you at least 200 grams and as much as 500 if you get a monster yielder (do not count on the 500 lol)

Yeah I tried led but only a 100 watt procyon.
Great for veg. I have to agree with the others,
I recommend getting hid lighting, and a good fan.
BUT.. I have seen some very nice harvests on here with led's.
And If I recall correctly they were using like no less than 1000
Watts. IDK, how much does the led cost? If it's more than double
A hid setup, I'd go hid. Good luck.
