Need tips and help to increase yeild

Hello Everyone,

First off thanks for reading my post,


******************************%INFO%***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
FFOF soil
FF Nutes
temps 79-82
I run my lights at night to save on cooling costs


60in x48in x 24in reflective tent 250w HPS cooltube+ reflector


60in x 24in x 24in custom wood box. 150W MH


Harvest #1
1 king kush(seed) 1 month veg
great density

Harvest #2
1 king kush(seed) 2 month veg (over grown a bit)
Better yield but big density drop off

harvest #3
4 king kush(clones of #2) 1 month veg
pretty much same yield and density as #2


Harvest #4

1 Super Lemon Haze, 3 king kush

Harvest #5

Super Lemon haze

Harvest #6

SLH mother now so ive got 7 clones going when they root in the next week or so i will be putting them in shortly.

since the KKs ive been cloning have been so poor i didn't clone the last one and am now using LSD as my indica. Barneys LSD mother is still vegging


******************************%QUESTION%***************************************************************************************************************************************************************************
As you can guess the tent is for flowering, and i Veg in the Custom box i made. On my 5th grow right now and ive been lucky enough to not have too many issues. (thanks to this forum) But i want more yield and density!


The first grow i didnt have my tent so i used my box and bud density was great! From my understanding it was because i had a 250w in 24x24 instead of 48x24. (more area = less light) and the i think the pheno type was far superior compared to my other KKs


all my other KKs since then have been very low yeilders very airy buds. i started trimming the bottom of the plants starting in #3 but i haven't seen mush benefit


OK so now my question, how would you increase yield and bud density. Add a 2nd 250w in my tent? Keep in mind heat and power consumption cant be too high. I've got a portable AC now (hot climate and don't want too much energy drain so im not being suspicious)


two 250's should have more light and since it will be more spread out i should get better yield/density right? well thats my thinking anyway if you have any questions comments or anything really please reply!


one other thing my first KK yield was good but i dont know if it was due to a better pheno type or more concentrated light. the Super lemons hazes have been decent but there not know for there yield.


thanks!

thanks!

i'm in a hot state and have heat concerns too but if you really want more yeild, you should get a 400 or better a 600 watt HPS. the tiny increase in your electric bill is nothing.

it will increase your yeilds. i have a 4 foot by 9 inch square tent with a 600 watt. i just weighed up my yeild, it was a bit more than 17 OZ dry, this time. i've been averaging 12 OZ per grow but sometimes the gods smile on me.


i'd also recommend tying them down a bit. better yeild than just letting them grow naturally.
i crowd the hell out of my tent and my yeilds are usually good and sometimes, real good. i'm always trying crosses i made so i need more plants per grow or i'll never get to try them all.
