hi
as i said, i am looking for 1 pound in my 4 plants, how tall do i need to grow in order to have a pound?

i have a 6x6x6 feet closet, 600HPS+MH i have 24 plants right now on 3 sets of "waterfarm 8" system, they are close together, about 5x5 area, i am going into flowering this week, do you think i can get 5 pound out of them?
is it even possible to get 5 pound out of 24 plants?
this is my second grow, i am aiming for 5 pound every crop!
please advise!

it's possible but i think you're going to have to let them veg for at least 2 months and hope you have good strain.

2 months? how tall will it be after veg for 2 months?

and by good strain, anyone suggestion on which one is good?

there are many high yielding strains...do some research and check out attitude seed bank, i cant tell you what strain you want, thats up to you dawg. i believe you can reach your goal, maybe not this time. but if you want it to happen, you can make it happen.

do you guys have any info on which strain has the most yield per crop!
i am looking for more quantity, i need more money to upgrade my setup!

lol
thats what i am doing now, i was thinking about the "big bud", "B52" and "K2" also the "Skunk #1"

any suggestion? keep in mind, i want to have 1 pound per 4 plants, so each plant about 110g!
i am checking nirvana shop, it said yield 400-500 per (m square) does that means 9 plants?

Bigbud is nice and you could do 4 plants

Not very good on a 2 month veg not enough light to penetrate the plants your looking at 4' plants the buds will not be tight.

ya bro.. you need to at the very least quadruple your lights to even think about getting anywhere close to 5 lbs, plus a lot more space.. u can prolly get a lb off of that 600 tho

hey what are the yield from your system?
is looks nice, but with 4x 600HPS, how many plants are flowering?

I believe yield is more a formula of watts of light X grow space available X growing experience. their are lots of other factors, most of which I lump into the 'growing experience' but from the way I understand it, if you have one plant in X area with a X amount of light you'll get roughly the same amount of bud as if you fit in as many plants as you can fit into that space, just less bud per plant. so it's about finding balance to get the right amount of plants in the area you have with the light you have so you get the most from each plant. hope this helps and happy growing! :)

There are a few commercial growers here, but most of them mightn't want to attract too much attention.

Stevenson, i think if you get 600 grams (1g a watt) from your setup, you should be happy. I don't want to put a dampner on things, but first time growers usually expect .5g per watt, and if they achieve more, then it's a bonus. You will lead yourself into disappointment if you expect even close to 5 pound.
