you can cover from 25 sq ft to 36 sq ft with a 1000 watt light. the number of plants depend on strain and training techniques but count on 10 to 25 plants.

one kilogram is like 2 and a half pounds not sure that is realistic but lucky you lol
If you have your room set up right you can get 1g/watt. So a 1000w hps can get you 1000grams or about 2.25 lbs.

I've done it before without co2 although my new grow is set up for co2..

I am planning to set up a room of about 14 foot square, 7.5 foot ceiling, ...I want to get one pound minimum per plant.

The room will be vented, cooled and co2 added. I will use up to one 1000 watt light per plant and only have 6 plants.

How did you get over 2 pounds per plant...I am a newbie and have a good 'beginner's mind'. I will follow good instructions.

Can you help me get set up?

An Lb. per plant indoors with that setup???? Ill be watching this for sure. My 1000 watt yeilds me about 2 to 3 ounces a plant with a total of 6 which is around a lb. total

With the right strain, if you wanted 1 lb plants, you could do 2 plants total in 15ish gallon pots. Say you have a high yield 8 week indica, if you veg it about 8 weeks, staying on top of lower trimming and topping/training properly you could conceivably do 2 plants at a lb each. In my experience a lb is more like the upper end however I know it is doable.

For the other guy, in a 6000w, 6 plant grow, 1 lb per plant is a no brainer imo if done correctly. Especially with CO2 and proper environmental controls. If I was in a situation to dedicate 1000w per plant, I would definitely try to push higher. I've heard of people doing like 5 lb plants indoors, I've just never tried to push past the 1 lb/plant barrier myself.

This would however require a long veg period, I duno if a beginner grower would really have the patience for it. Unless you are in it for the gardening and not the product.
