SOG

The t5 fixture is a great veg light. I don't know about your garden but as I was running my SOG for the last ten years I found it was essential to keep the plants a manageable size to keep my flower room from getting over crowded and turning into a jungle. I wasn't trying to veg big plants, I was vegging many small plants. So the T5 let me do that well. I could keep the light close to the plants and they just rooted nicely without stretching a ton into big plants. I only let them get 7-8 inches tall.

use the higher K value bulbs in the T5 if you already have it. more blues, less reds for veg

It is not a silly question, but it is a question that on one can answer.
SOG by itself does not promise a better yield.
So anywhere between 0.3 and 3 grams per Watt

I have grown, vertical, multi plant horizontal, SOG and a pseudo SCrog in my 4 x 4 and with each it is about 24 to 26 zips.
Maybe it is my grow method but I think have max out my tent.

Not sure how to get more from a 4x4.

Nice grows man! I feel like packing low veg plants under a light is one of the best ways. Very strain dependent I've averaged about 20ish grams per plant with 45ish plants in a 4x4 flood and drain tray under a 1k HPS in a XL air cooled hood, working out to about 32 ounces on average. But I ran a White Widow plant for about 4 years that I was pulling 25ish grams per plant average.....

My previous rooms only had mediocure climate control to say the least. I'm looking forward to building out my next room right now. The plan is to have full climate controls this time. I've tried to make sure each of my room builds puts me another step forward.
