I have a 4x8 table with 2 600 hps lights over it and I plan on putting 70 clones on it i havent figured out how much space i would have bit is it possible to harvest at least 4 pounds from that and using co2 with gh nutrients would I need to veg or go straight into flower some body hlp with some rep :-P:-P:weed::?::?:

with 32 to 64 plants depending on veg time.... 32 = 3 or 4 week veg 64 = 1 week or 2 week veg. I do 48 with 3 weeks veg and yield 2 and 1/2 pound with 2 600 watts on 2 4x4's

how many plants are idea for a 4x8 table under 2 600
read what I wrote above. I stated the amounts you can put to grow top quality bud at different sizes. You'd need a god damn miracle to grow 4 lbs with your setup in one run.

to get 4 to 5 pounds you would need to run four to five 1000 watters. maybe three 1000's if you were good. ;)

ok they will be ready in 60 to 70 days so maybe i will go with 40 small plants and hope to get a ounce off each plant
I'm thinking more like 600 grams more or less. 4 lbs is kind of unbelievable. Are you doing an SOG set up? or fruiting all at once. Also how big are your plants going to be? If you're doing anything larger then small plants (1-2 feet finishing hight) you're going to need a lot more lightage than 1200w. You'd need something closer to 2000w. 1200 watts should get you a total of 30-40 small plants under both lights (15-20 under each) or 3-8 large plants under each light (once again depending on size). Realistically if you're working with large plants you need at least 200w of light per plant (i.e. 3 plants a light) to grow top quality. Also the larger the plant the more room you need to space them apart so that effects how many you can have under a light. If you're keeping them small you can stuff quite a bit under one area. I will say 70 sounds like too much, you need to remember that even small plants will grow 1.5 to 3 times their size fruiting. I'd do 30-40 small plants and you should get top quality bud or 3-6 large plants for top quality bud.
For 70-80 plants you should do 2 4x4 areas under each light with 2 1000w bulbs.

Generally when dealing with normal sized plants you get .5 to .75 grams per watt of light. A properly run SOG setups or a setup with lots of little plants like the one you may want to do generally get .5 to .75 oz per little plant. Smaller plants are a bit more productive since light penetration is better.

Even in an SOG setup the most you should put under each a 600w light is 15-20 small plants realistically. Anymore and you're just not maximizing you're use of light and molds can become an issue. The whole point of an SOG set up is use at lot of little plants and just enough of them so you can fully penetrate the canopy to develop each plant into 1 to 2 giant top colas. Thus you have a higher bud to leaf ratio increasing your overall yields since you'll have more smokable product. If you over stuff it you'll get a lot of tiny colas and some lower leafy/buddy mass below.

you can have 100000000000 plants in a certain area but you will not increase yeild. to achive that mass you will need more wattage period .......

you need to get your feet wet with the 600's

with 2 lamps 6-9 plants per light or 16-25 sog would be pushing it.

you can do different things to get more budsites and mass but your wattage can only do so much.

with 9 plants on a 600 you should hit 1.5-2 oz per plant with most genetics. thats about it!

Is this your first grow? Sounds like it. Why do you have a target of 4 pounds? Seems like alot for a first timer

You are on probation but yet you are doing this:dunce:..
I think 3 600 watts will help you reach your goal of 2.5 to 3 pounds.
