12 plants under a 1000 watt light what should i yield??

whatever son. you could easily do it with scrog or sog. you dont have to have big plants

I think there is some problem with the amount of plants and veg time and harvest discussion between kitty and others. I think kittys point basically boiled down to this extreme example:


You have a football field with full sun-force lights over the entire area. Do you grow one plant that covers the entire 15,000 sq ft area, or 15,000 plants each covering 1 square foot? If you grow one plant you will have to wait a long long time for the plant to get large enough to flower, but then you will have an entire football field filled with bomb ass dope nuggets all on a single plant. If you have 15,000 plants each one fills out it's own square foot in a fraction of the time, so you have the entire field covered in foliage in much less time. The end harvest will be the same as you have 15,000 square feet completely covered in foliage, but more plants gets you to that full coverage point faster and results in a faster seed/clone to bud life span.

Obviously one plant couldn't grow that large, it was just for illustrative purposes.

I thought the discussion was about how much you can yield off a 1000 not how many plants you can grow on a football field.

It was until the discussion got derailed and research kitty said this:

Everyone seems to be forgetting one thing with respect to quantity and plants and yield.

MORE PLANTS = shorter veg time = same yield
LESS PLANTS = longer veg time = same yield

If you grow 4 plants under a 1kW lamp or 16 or 32 it doesnt matter. You simply have to make sure the top of the 16sqft canopy is all green. If you have light that goes to the floor, you are losing your yield.

And there seemed to be quite a bit of confusion and I was trying to clarify for people since many disputed her statement here. The number of plants is irrelevant, it's the total area of the canopy, and the total area of the canopy will fill out and reach a point ready to flower that will be dependent on the number of plants. More plants will fill the canopy quickly, while less plants will take longer to fill it out. In the end you will get the same yield though for a given area.

OK My bad.

yes guy your right i have approx 25 plants per 1000 watt and theres no probem with plants all depends on your canopy and what i found my outer plants seem to grow better then right under the light theres alot of growers saying you can grow 25 - 30 plants per 1000 watt
people only running 8 - 12 plants are wasting power/ or dont have the room or proper grow set up going

everyone talks about lumens per plant or optimum lumens for 1000 watt is 4 x 4 area i beg to differ on this but it just me
i can prove people wrong cause my plant ceiling is litterally the same 15 x 30 room approx

I just changed my lights to this type of bulbs now will it effect my lumens per plant ????

I will be growing under 1000 watt but I will be trying to veg up 9 plants until they are big enough because I want to stay under my legal limit. If it wasnt for the legal limit I would grow more smaller plants.

I'm growing 5 plants under a 1000 watt light right now. I vegged them for 2 months, and they are huge. Next time I will be doing a lot of smaller plants. How much do you think I'll yield?

this question is much easier than everyone is making it...he never asked how much , it reads "what should I yield?"
simple... you should yield marijauna

Since this thread has totally been rerailed and then ass fucked by dirty hobos, I feel the need to say this.

STOP ASKING THESE DUMB AS SHIT QUESTIONS PEOPLE. WE DONT FUCKING KNOW!


/thread. The fact that people can't understand the concept of NOT ONE PERSON can legitimately tell you how much pot YOU'RE gonna grow. Fucking grow it and find out, then boom now YOU know.

<--hasnt smoked and is tired of reading a pissing match.

EVERYONE IN THIS THREAD NOW HAS HERPIES!
Now hopes thread gets locked.

someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. shittt. it's not that hard to give a fucking guess, especially if you've grown in similar conditions before.

i GUESS you missed the one key word:GUESS

If you don't know, don't respond. Go troll somewhere else. if you are tired of reading things like this, no ones making you read it, only you.

No your totally right i was a dick, you want a guess, hows this for a guess. Anywhere between 4 grams and 2.2 pounds.

Specific enough? exactly, that answer was about as vauge as your question was. When you say "similar conditions"

What kind of light are using? HPS or MH?

What brand bulb?

What strain are you running?

Soil or Hydro?

What kind of soil if so?

What nutrient solution(s) are you using?

You using R/O water?

What is your venting like? Intake and exhaust setup?

What are your cooling methods?

Are you running C02?

How far away is your light from the plants?

do you think valtrex with help my eherpes?? i dont wanna spread them

I have grown several crops, using various methods, under 1000 watts of light, on a mover. Ranging from 6 large mother plants to 45 small plants in a SOG. In both scenarios I yielded anywhere from 1-1/2 to 2 pds per light (with the strain being the only cause for the difference). Otherwise, so long as the canopy is green from corner to corner, the yield was pretty much the same.

With that being said, next time I grow, I will be going with fewer, but larger plants. Why? Because I'd rather have large quality buds, than a bunch of small buds. Weight/yield might be the same, but my experience showed me that the SOG method produces smaller/inferior bud. So a couple extra weeks of vegging will be worth it for me, especialy since I only grow a crop or two a year now, in between my veggie grows(tomatoes, etc), as needed. But even if you were growing continuously, you could just get yourself an extra light for your veg room to off set the delay. Always having one growing while cloning the next generation. Then you could also use the mother plants as well.

this is funny shit.

theres ppl on here that pull half a pound off a 400watt with one plant
so yeah.

id say it comes down to how good you are at growing.

and farout there is a lot of haters here.

smoke more hate less

so if ya got a 1000 watt 4 massive plants half pund each maybe?
thats possible.

5x4 ebb and flow+1000 watt yeild master air cooled cheapy+6" inline duct fan for light cooling and exhaust+ passive intake near the bottom+advanced nutes and bud candy+monitoring ph and the likes+good temps+ co2 boost ghetto stye+ 16 northern lights flowered from rooted clone= 1011grams! SoG ftw! In a 4x4 or any size for that matter the longer you veg the fewer plants you should have. As an impatient person i choose to flower from rooted clone because it cuts down on total time spent. From 4 big moms i pull 16 clones at a time. Get some healthy roots goin then jam them into 12/12. 4 weeks into flower i pull 16 more so on and so forth. 1011 would not be typical but its my record with 1000w lighting. Usually ranges from 800g to 950g depending on strain. But yes it is possible to yield the same as the big boys with more plants in less time. Flower the 12 they will have plenty of room and plenty enough light. I have seen 14 in a 5x2 closet grow do great.

wow so many tools in the shed and know one knows how to use them or teach for that matter, any idiot can yeild a 1lb of a 1000 watt, shit i grew 1/2lb my first time around with some t8 shop lights and crappy garden nutes that were way to hot and i still yielded a decent amount

I did 30 plants under 2 k in a 5 by 10 tent and pulled 2 and quarter pounds dried and cured. What is to expect from 12 plants, 15 gallon pots, under 3600 watts of light? Decided to go with bigger pots and less plants with more light, should expect a good turnout

make a dark room your plants can go into. leave your 1000 watt light running 24hrs a day put 6 in for the first 12 hrs and then put the other six in while the other 6 are in the dark make sure you can be there to switch them every day. that way you get the most out of your light and no crowding.
