5 pounds every 2 months?

The solution isn't more plants or more hydroponics or more co2, the solution is proper lighting practices.

The vertical link with GreenBasterd would be ideal. It uses the least amount of sq ft, the least amount of lighting and the least amount of plants, yet yields 5-6 pounds every time. What does that tell you? *in sarcastic retard voice* Duh....

Good luck and please document your grows. Assuming thats 4 flower rooms harvested on a 2 week rotation, your running, 6x600 = 3600*4=14400W.

10lbs(4536 grams) from each 3600W room(1.26G/W) will require a serious ammount of expertise from the grower. So dont let us down by not documenting it.

edit: you also need veg space, i hope that 14400W was only the plan for flowering lights and not lights, AC, dehumi, fans, pumps, etc. Then you would sound downright silly

heres some pics i took today this is with 2 lights i'm planig on getting rid of the movers and just hanging 3 lights with 2 i've pulled over 3lbs per table

you can use 2 600s on a 4x8 table no problem i am doing it and getting 3 lbs per table but if you want to use only 600s you need a light mover and you need to vent the lights but i am planing on going to go to 3 600s with no mover so i can get 5 lbs per table

The problem I have had with using 600s on a 4 x 8 was with the 4 foot side. How do you orient your lights?

After a couple of grows with that setup you might get 2.5 pounds.

Even with the vertical setup its going to take time to get the system and the room dialed in.

Good yeilds = multiple grows. Sorry man but there is no shortcut to experience.

Reality Bites.

I can get 18 of these under 2000 watts on a mover and be done every 2 months:









In this much space:





The man that stated the strain is the key hit the nail on the head and if your gonna SOG go Bushes or tree's.

Oh and to do those numbers (and yes you can...have&do) you gotta have the gas and your A game.

it takes knowledge...here is what i can come up with on what you need to know about

-obtaining/creating the right genetics
-nutrients
-advanced growing techniques
-being secretive
-being committed
-being safe


a noob (someone who does not know about the above) who tries to get 5 lbs every 2 months is in for a rude awakening. its almost like a full time job.

p.s. good link to that vertical grow mystic.. vertical seems the only way to go if you are going for the yield. no light seems to be wasted. here are some of the pics from that dudes grow...

4 weeks@ 2000W , then 5 weeks @ 2600W.
17 Hash Plants
17 Purple Kush
3 gallon pots

I got 3 1/4 lb of the Purple Kush , and 2 3/4 lb of the hash Plant . So 6 lb ( + a few ounces that we smoked already), from 2 1/3 lights , over 9 weeks.

I got taught by the Cloggies [the Dutch] that [when you know what you are doing, flowering clones...] ....400 to 600 g/sq M is the target, whereas my mate who runs a growshop prefers to work out g/watt ... 1g/1watt being "The Target".

If you use 1000W/SqM it is harder to get the 1000g than it is for 600W/600g say and - getting controversial here I know...- I once got 1800g from 1000w [400 and a 600] but the crop was not that amazing bar this "figure" worked out that way..... so... I prefer to measure by g/SqM but stating what light used as well. If you can get good figures in 1m sq with a 400, it is better than if you use a 600 or 1000 and the information is relevant, some growers have space, but finite electricity supply, so perfecting 400W/SqM growing is your ideal path.

Pursuing perfection is where it is at, if I told you my biggest yield [SoG, 800W/SqM] you would think I was a liar, get your environment right, good mums, propagator, run a few experiments.

BTW...450g is one of those funny "Pound" things you refer to.

DrBudGreenGenes gets over 500 grams dried off of 210 watts of CFL lights in eight weeks. What does everyone have to say about that?? Nobody here seems to mention him

I had a 3000 watt grow and it still took me 3 to four hours a day to keep things the way I wanted and with a full time job that can start to suck if you don't love what it is you doing..

What am I working with. I work with a NGB style cab but a little bigger and it has 300 watts produced with two 150 watt hps bulbs. You should check out my thread in the mico grows and I'll let you know as much as you want.

Here is a couple of pics of the system on my last grow Dreamweaver x God bud. I'll be harvesting some blueberry tomorrow night.
