Im not trying to be a dick here but you started asking newbie questions about 1 light and now you want to do a full blown grow op.Seams you are looking for a get rich quick and hey i get it.but drug dealers are what give marijuana a bad name.that and the over inflated price that gets charged for it.I grow cause i like to do it and smoke it and eat it and love to turn my friends on to it.
ok enough of my rant.oh and I went back and read they are going to be organically grown so please disreguard my nutrient statement.i wish you the best of luck

dude i WAS exactly the same way and i found i got very little for my efforts,but i had to learn this on my own the hard way.Now i do smaller grows and ive gotten more out of that then trying to get 20 plants full term.i grow ebb and flow so when something goes wrong all the plants are effected.You are groing in pots which keeps problems localized to that plant and not the rest.But as i said before good luck and happy growing

My grow isn't done yet so I can't comment about yield but what I will comment on is this: I've got 16 under two 600's as stated before.. I have these following strains: Strawberry haze, super silver haze, super skunk, blue widow, northern lights, ak-48.. I rotate them every 2-3 days for optimal light coverage (no movers or anything) Everything seems to be equally producing however it's been an uphill battle. Constantly finding new items to level out my canopy because all the different heights.. My room leaves me about 1 1/2' around the perimeter to work on the ladies.. To be honest i'll be toning it down to 12 as soon as I pull some of these. It's just too hectic, too many variables like everyone else is saying. If I could start over i'd just go with 2-3 strains of about 4 each. WAAAY less headache. Also, maybe my 16 would of been fine had I SCROG'd, Topped or some other training method, as of right now I just let them go and the SSH for instance is just out of control 5'+.. Also, i'm in 3 gal smart pots
 
Yeah man don't worry I'm not one of those Get-rich-Quick kinda guys, and I don't want to start off on the wrong page, this would all either be personal use and shared among friends and family, or taken to the local Co-Op to spread the love. I just REALLY wanted to have my own home grown haha So i can see were I came off as just "How can I get a shit load of plants quick".
Thanks for your input and dealing with a newbie, after getting some sleep and thinking about it I've decided to either do either 9 but people are saying thats kind of much so maybe I'll do 6 or 4 per light, but anyways I should be starting by next weekend now that I finally worked this out.

don't forget your daily greens, peace!

i would definatly agree with 4 plants under 1 600w so 8 plants in total this is how i grow:) i normaly get 4-5 ounce a plant and if u get cought the punishment is next to nothing :) i grow from cuttings and leave them to grow big roughly 3-4 feet then flower
what is the size of the room you growing in for your setup?
