LOL! Ya I guess Im doing something wrong. I always thought that a 1000w will cover a 7x7 room and a 600w will cover a 6x6 room.
I didnt know that if I put more lights in a smaller area that I could get waaaay more yield. I get about 35 grams a plant. 25 ounces a plant? WOW! I have alot to learn about yields. I always thought that anything over 2 - 600w hps lamps in a 6x6 room was overkill. Nevermind 5 -1000w's in an 8x8 room. I thought that a plant can only handle so many lumens before it gets light bleaching. But if your getting yields like that with the same veg and flower time I run....Ive been waisting years of my life growing, spinning my wheels, trying to get good yields.
Do you top them or train them in any way or just put the cage around them and start weaving the plant through to get them short and bushy? What can I do with 2 - 600w lamps in a 12 x 12 room to increase my yields from 24 ounces to 48 ounces? I have a light rail 3.5 that can move both lamps....and I can buy another lamp if needed. Whats the good word or advice I so desprately need to increase yield?
No topping or training growing this style, although I do strip off lotsa bottom branches. Topping might work and I might try it on one of the four one of these rounds.
This is an extreme and largely inefficient method to extract maximum yield from minimum plants, there are guys on here getting more yield per watt by far, even using this method. I thought I would post this in hopes that guys like DHF might help me along.
I'd recommend perusing the "vertical and coliseum" forums, vert has been a good change for me, a guy named ghettotree has an excellent journal going right now, something like 9 lights 6 trees......
Shine on!
