yield?

[truecannabliss]

i am on my third grow using canna coco, canna a+b under a 400w mh/hps.
After some mixed results i am wondering what sort of yield should i be hoping to attain? i know it is said 0.5 gram per 30 days per watt so i should be achieving 400 grams after 60 days flowering but this seems a hell of a lot to me and i am achieving less than half that (although i am awaiting results of 3rd grow).
i think i may have been letting plants veg too long (6 to 8 weeks) and growing too many (6) in a small space (3x3).
if i want to obtain maximum yield, what number and strain of plant would you suggest?
all comments and advice appreciated no matter how trivial.
peace

so you have a 400w MH and a 400w HPS in flowering or one of those with a 200 of each in the same reflector?? I dont know where the .5 per 30 days come into play.. If it takes you 60days to flower than at the end of that you should have about .5 per watt, it takes a pretty experieced at proly a 600w to get a gram per watt.. I average about .5 right now with my 400 hps but I plant to do better.. my last .5 was swt4 about 16 plants SOG style. I am going for less larger plants, and I am using tiger bloom and big bloom this time instead of just BB like on my SOGish grow.

I average 1.2 grams with a 400 and I'm still not satisfied.

[truecannabliss]

so how many ounces are you getting and how long do you veg and flower for? (average example will be great).

sog- 1 gallon pots 30 in a 5x6 configuration
400 watts average 17 grams per plant (about 18 oz's)
veg 10-14 after roots or when they are 12 inches high they go to 18-21 inches.

Hey pm, what do you use as your medium in 1 one gallons and do you transfer straight clone to 1 gallon? thanks

This is a soil sog I am transfering to hydro as we speak. The soil I used to use was shultz with fert. And miracle grow sometimes.

Puppetmug, what strain is it that you are growing in your SOG that you get 1.2 g/watt? Just curious.
