Under 1200 watts, what could my yield be?

OK sorry about the caps. In your experience, what is the best way to yield the most (ak47), under 2 600w, air cooled, MH/HPS lamps? No light movers used, and in soil. All your help is greatly appreciated and I would love to see everyone get in on this question. When a consensus is reached I will execute this plan and make a sweet grow journal. This will be the rollitup.org 2008 grow operation, with support by the RIU community. Thanks all who contribute.

Pics of the lamps to come tomorrow just for a better view of what were working with. :joint::joint::joint::joint::joint:

To yield the most in soil under 2 lamps i would just fimm the hell out of every plant and then once you've got a shit load of tops that are 12" minimum height each put them into 12/12.
You can easily get 50 tops on each plant.
You will need to do a lot of tying off and trimming of excess leaf so that each stem gets well lit.

If that sounds like a nightmare just use sog or scrog obviously though you need a lot of seeds or a lot of clones for this method.
I prefer to get the equivalent of several plants from each seed by fimming though and it also allows me to harvest stems early if i want to and seed other stems if want to.

Im also of the thinking that fimmed plants are possibly a bit stronger and seem to grow fatter and stouter from fimming as the growth hormone is apparently shot back down the stem each time you fimm.
I have no evidence of whether this is true or not though:blsmoke:

it wasnt meant to deceive, the title, its just a method to get you guys thinking in the right direction. under 1200 watts, what could my yield be? you were hoping to open up and see, soil grow under 2 600wers, or 3 400wers, or in hydro, a SOG or SCROG grow, or a regular grow. what would it be? exactly, so this is the time to really add everything up. all the research and experience you have, put it together and lets come up with the best way to grow indoors. the best yield, since most of us dont have an entire grow room, in a moderate space, with moderate lighting. simple concept but we can really get a lot of info out there with this one thread. personally im thinking perpetual SOG. two sections for flowering with 32 plants in each section getting two pounds each month (theoretically.) if you build a platform in the grow room you can place the vegg chambe underneath and since the SOG doesnt grow too tall, still have enough vertical height. anyone got one better?

btw, thanks for the post natmoon.

shit ill answer this one, under perfect conditions WITH co2 AND killer genes you could pull 1200 grams, but count on a pound or a little over for the average grower, i would guess that with a nice enviroment, no pests and without a sog 700-800 grams is totally possible
