600 watt?

[dasmoke505]

Can I get 1 pound with 600 watt? I plan to use ebb and grow system. It will have 9 bucket each. It will be nice to save all that electricity.

It's possible to pull a pound off a 400 watt. It's more dependant on your skill and strain.

that's 2 oz per plant which is very much achievable under the right conditions

i was thinking blueberry or double gum. What do you guys think?

Its really dependant on veg time to be honest. If I was you I'd probably scrog the plants.. Train them up real nice, cut off all the lower growth and get them to focus on the good stuff up top. With that system you're going to have trees tho.. maybe 9 is too many for 600W in terms of light penetration and spread. You're probably better off using 4 or 5 buckets.

The reason I say that is because when I was growing in 11.5L pots of soil, the first time I put 9 plants under a 600W I yielded the exact same as when I put 5 pots under a 600W and the result was actually better with the 5. I think that the plants have to compete for less for the light which means less stretch and less stress which is always very important. Everytime you stress the plants you loose yield...
