For all you 600w HPS users....
How many plants is best under a 600w light? I know its all about what kinda watts n lumens / sq. ft. u wanna go with and how many plants you can fit in that area but at what point do you start to see diminishing returns? I know some of you more experienced guys have found the sweet spot.

I have I have 18 vegging under a 600w right now. You can flower out at nine full sized, plants, but there will be sacrifices in terms of quality/quantity. I have heard people sogging at around 16-25 plants per bulb though.

I also want to state your space and setup will determine greatly on how much bang you get for 600w buck.

my grow

Someone always has to one up me. I didn't count clones in the total, like I am sure some people did... jerk, I shake my fist at you.

Anyway, 8.5 oz per plant? Or total? Either way it is not just a light issue, you need to tighten bolts all over your grow. Genetics is your primary factor, I would look into nutes next, then light.

I got 8.5 for that grow of 9 plants under a 600w. Is that bad? People seemed to think it was average, or slightly above even. You think its low???

ill have result in more then a month
i cant wait
if i get 8 oz ill be happy as a pig in shit :P

I am using 600 watts and I only have 9 under each light so I dont fuck myself later like these guys.

8.5 oz is 240 grams right? Yeah, that's pretty low. You should be getting that per plant at least.

You should have gotten a good pound outa nine plants.

I average around 2-3oz dried weight per plant, and i use a 400W hps in a bedroom closet.
