You can post it here. Your problem is trying to keep those plants as short as you can.. I imagine you don't want to grow more plants.. That would be your easiest solution ..

With 4 plants you need to get bigger pots than a 5 gallon . I would try 15-20 gallon pots. This will make the plant bush more and you can train it easier to not grow vertical. I would try to build a cage / scrog type thing with netting and some stakes .. Use the netting to train them down , and keep topping . You should be able to pull 4 pounds out of there .
Ok buddy but I'm also limited for floor space here is a pic of my last grow so u can get a feel for my room size.... I have two of the same rooms

What size pots are those in? You can fit bigger . The plants look great . I would use 1/2 strength maximum on that feed .. And you should feed every other water . If you don't have a ppm meter I would go even less than that. Less is more . That feed is for hydro not soil

Stay at it and filter out the bad info and you'll be hittin home runs sooner than you think . Good luck with your grow feel free to post some pics

Who cares what your growing per light, per watt or alike, honestly theres at least half of the people on here that are going to hate and talk shit and bring you down or say your dank is crap or something is wrong with it because they can't grow, they don't know how to grow, or grow and it's shitty or not as good as yours so they can only try and bring yours down, for all the people that talked about my grows and where I'm at now I could laugh all the way to the toke room, If your getting what you want from your plants, either money wise or xx per watt then that's all that matters you don't have shit to prove to any of these people that run there mouth, if your doing good, all you can do is show off what you got, but you always got to expect someone running there mouth, anyways nice grow here from Michigan happy growing

The guy they taught me has been growing 15 years and best he's ever pulled is 1.3ps per light. Some people suck at growing. Some people have old school techniques that they are too proud to change.
This isn't 1999 anymore . If you live in California, and you aren't getting 1.5 per lamp..you are out turnin tricks to pay the light bill . 2+ is the only way to get by not living paycheck to paycheck. 3 pounds per light with blue dream doesn't even get you a high 5 where I'm from . It makes you average
I done everything myself and sold to a few diffent mates and told them I only done a 2 light grow and never went round telling everyone I pull pounds becase I come back to an empty grow room

my best was 25oz's of good qualty organic bud under 1kw hps
and that filled a 20ltr storage box

and was really happy with that

good luck to you what ever you pull

If you go to the Greenhouse Seeds channel on YouTube and view the Greenhouse Grow Sessions videos you'll find that they grew several different plants that yielded over 300 grams dry. That was hydroponic. They always grew one plant hydroponic and one soil. The soil ones were always runts compared to the hydros. They didn't even trim any of the plants either, just natural plants. So in theory you should be able to get some pretty high yields under one light with the right strains grown in hydroponic pots. Looked like you could fit 4 or 5 of the plants they grew under one light. It was interesting to see how the dry weight compared to the wet weight too, since they weighed both. Seems like dry weight is about 12-15% of wet weight. Just skip through the videos to the weighing part because the rest is boring as hell. They didn't veg long either. They weren't huge plants or anything. I think they only veged like 4 weeks.

Thats insane!!!! And these were DE lamps? Strain was blue?
Sfv and blue . There was 10 packs of sfv and the rest was blue. I did one nanolux de and one gavita, one adjusta wing and 6 raptors. I like the raptors without glass the best... The gavita had nice nugs past the top cola... Like the light makes it further down into the canopy somehow. But at the same time my top nugs were smaller under the DE bulbs. They finished right about 28 inches from the bulbs under the de. I think they didn't stretch as hard due to the intense light.. The hot spots aren't as bad as I was expecting . As far as the nanolux.. I saw stress from too much light, or heat, some upward leaf curling. All in all I think the DE are nice if you have the space, but they are not for this room. I don't think my yield was any higher under them specifically . It was just a really good run . I am hoping to do better the next one because I'm getting rid of the sfv for a higher yielding og

Actually, I don't think it was over 300 grams thatGreehouse got from plants. That was a wet weight that I remembered I think. They did get impressive yields though.
