Well I've been doing a lot of reading and research and I think I'm going to try and see if I can make this work for me. I plan on starting my grow in a few weeks.My grow cabinet is 6 feet by 4 ft by 7ft. I will have 2 600 watt advanced led grow lights. I plan on using them to flower with and a couple of t5 for veging. I want to do perpetual sog. Does any one have any suggestions on how much yield I could expect? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
A gram per watt is generally deemed optimal growing, although that's with HPS rather than LED but I've read reports a gram per watt is still achievable with LEDs. A 6.5lt pot will typically produce around a 2 to 2 and 1/2 oz plant so 9 6.5ltrs pots under each 600 light will give you a chance of hitting a g/pw. If your going for SoG then you may want to flower in 3.5ltr pots, probably get around an Oz per plant so you about 18

Obviously all subject to your growing skills

Hope this helps

In my opinion it should never really be about how much yield....it is all very subjective and at the end of the day you will get much more than you would if you never took the plunge...

So enjoy and learn as much as you can as it is something that you may never put down.

Good luck Lilrob!

If you are on the same learning curve as me......
It will take about 2 years for you to optimize what ever grow style that you select.

Be happy with .5g a watt to start with. Yield and quality are more based on skill and experience than anything else.

Good luck!!
