I don't think it is realistic. I don't get anywhere near that. Granted I do not grow big bud. But the problem is as the plants get too tall you wont get light at the bottom of them, harvest less more often is a better plan.

this is about to be my second gro round with the system i had build.. i did horrible, had some feeding issues from going out of town and a rediculous bout with spidermites and got a couple ounces over 2 lbs. ended up getting about .5 gpw which isnt too bad in my eyes considering all the probs i had with the mites.. similar systems have put up about 1.5 gpw so i am aiming for at least 5, at the best 8 .. i will be running about 70 plants

what do you guys think using SOG method, what's the scale we are looking to get 5 pound every 2 weeks, let say i have 4 rooms for flowering, every 2 weeks i fill them up with fresh clones/vegged plants, how many plants do we need in one room, and how many watt lamp in each room to get 5 pound every 2 weeks!

5 pound every 2 week will be nice............:joint:

i'm assuming thats why you'd want to grow 5 pounds every 2 weeks:blsmoke::roll:

To get that much every 2 weeks you would need a big setup. If you did an ebb system you would need like 4 4x4 trays and maybe 4 2x4 trays for veg so you can feed different plants different amounts of nuits. For each 4x4 tray you would need at least 1 1000 watt hps, and for the 2x4s 1 400watt mh for each so you can have them at different hights. You would also need a nice sized cloning area and setup. You would have to have like 150 plants going at all times. This is not something you would want to do at your house. With a setup like that you would be able to do 5 lbs every couple weeks. If you are aiming for this you should give Big Bud a try. I've done it a few times and it is easy to grow has great yields and the quality is right up there.

i was thinking putting them in a tent, i saw a tent on ebay for $200 sizes are 6.5'x6.5'x6.5', you think this tent will have enough room for a 4x4 table in there? also, how many plants per table? and 1x 1000HPS should cover the 4x4 grow area right?

forget 4x4s if you want to seriously do 5lbs per room every two weeks this is what you need..

each flowering room needs to have 1 4x8 ebb and flow table with a 100 gallon res running about 60 plants with 3 air cooled 1000w hps over the tops. that is 9000w just for flowering.

you will need to take about 70 clones every two weeks (two weeks prior to placing them in the flowering room)

for this i would suggest building 4 seperate ez cloners that you can veg the clones in for about 10 days after they root before transplanting them into your flowering room. i would personally use hydroton and square pots for this so that i could take them straight from the ebb and flo, into pots, acclemate the plants to the hps, and proceed to flower.

to take this many clones you will probably need at least 4-6 mothers that will need to be about 6 feet tall (you want to take absolutely no more than half of the plant at any cloning) and will want to have these mothers under at the minimum 1kw MH bulb.

plus in each room you are going to need proper cooling, proper ventalation and proper odor control.

you are talking about a big operation running at least 15000 watts with all the lights, timers, pumps, fans and ac. and that is if you dont live there as well.

this will take tens of thousands of dollars for the equip alone. months of startup time to get the mothers large enough for what you want to do, and a serious property and security to keep yourself safe.

now i dont mean to be a dick but judging about what you have been talking about and asking, my guess is you are not very familiar with growing.. take this advice, dont bite off more than you can chew. and dont even think about maintaining this all by yourself.. just to trip 5lbs every two weeks you will be putting in 20 hours a week just in trimming. i would def think long and hard about this, and do a lot more research

just my piece
