Good soil?Watering seems light.I use 5 gallon buckets and water every 2 days feeding evey watering with the correctly diluted daily feed measuremnet on my fet bottles.You have to make sure you have room for the plants 2 unless your doing a straight sea of green.to max yeild a plant give it at least 2 square meters of room per plant.Do you have good air movement fans down low allowing good fresh air flow so the air is not stale? Did you use any kind of co2 injection or producer as thye can increase yeilds 45-75%.

if he used his 1 - 1000watt on a 4foot Motorized track, it would do the same job... if i were you i would use 2 - 1000watt on a 4-6 foot motorized track, then u could grow 20-30 maybe 40 plants well if you placed them right.
and all you need is a 3 gallon pot, 5 Gallon pots are more for mothers.
