1 Pound per plant under 1000W HPS?

[BlindDate]

I ask because the most efficient method to grow trees is with bare vertical lighting. A bulb in each corner and one in the middle with 4 plants arrainged like a diamond around the center bulb. Unless your room is very narrow, growing 2 plants will waste light.

why a bulb in each corner?

john, you do realize this thread is over 3 years old right? he just explained it, arranged plants in a diamond pattern and put bulbs on the outside of the diaomd so the plants have lighting 360degrees

i have seen 3lbs per 1k light. Sealed room, 4 ton excel air conditioner, advanced nutrients 2+ line. Chemdog 4 week veg 9 plants per light.

Reckon you'd waste a fair bit of light that way (I know it wasn't you who said it originally). Best to have the plants surrounding the bulbs rather than bulbs surrounding plants.

Bringing this thread back to life. Who's doing 1 BIG tree per light?

I can put all this to rest! Simple with the proper veg time 1n a half month in a twenty gallon smart pot will yield a pound per plant inside under proper lighting. Gavita baby my old set up is 28 -20 gallon smart pot under 15 - 1000 hps gavita a bit over kill since they do actually cover a 4*4 canopy! So yes it can be done and not with any super strain I'm talking rascal og , GDP name it I've prolly seen it happen! Happy gardening

It depends on genetics, as peeps have said. My bro has pulled almost 2 using a 600w. Well, almost 2 per plant, using 600Ws. blue dream, using 30g smarties with coco and house and garden.
I gave him a blueberry headband, and hes making them huge
As a test, he has a plant not under a light, but between 2 that are each under a 600w. each other plant has its own light...his test plant may yield half as much

I use organics, and his yields have me rethinking this. I will try a run with everything else in place, co2, ac, etc...his shit is dialed in...if i get mine that dialed , i can only hope


sorry, your orig question, with the right genetics, and at least a little training, hell yes(big pots).

i am right now. i have a big mofo in a 3 gallon bucket under a 1k. I'm pretty sure it's going to give me a pound+!

here she is just flipped. on the right, those ak48s on the left are under another light now.




here she is now, with a few weeks to go still, pic just does not do her justice.

 

[Rolldaddy]

So KC. With the set up you mention really your almost @ 2 treez per light so were you getting a unit per plant or per light?

 

[Rolldaddy]

Any pics?

 

[paper thorn]

doubt if KC is around anymore, but i have a couple pics.
that Mofo is in a 3 gal dwc bucket with H and G nutes.

 

[Rolldaddy]

What mofo?.. I don't see it

 

[ORGANICSPUNK]

surely you should be able to get 2 pounds off one 1000 watt bulb?

How did that beauty finally turn out?

I used to run 32 plants in 10L hempys under 2x1kw, used to easily pull 2lb+ per light...I would hang my head in shame if I was only getting 1lb per light
