How much do you think I'll yield?

Hey guys, I know asking how much my plants will yield is a common question, which can't be easily answered. But I'd like some feedback anyway. Give me your guess on range of yield, based on the following (and knowing that I'm doing the best I can in all areas of care).

  • 8'x 8' grow table in 11' x 11' room
  • 2 - 600 watt HPS with superior hoods (1200 watts total)
  • Growing in soil with hybrid clones
  • 24 plants in 3 gallon pots each
  • Will grow each up to 3 feet
  • Up to 90F degrees daily
  • Full ventilation system, etc.
Thanks for your estimates! :mrgreen:

2x600=1200
figure .8g/watt regardless of strain/method.
that works to 960g for your two lights.

Unless you have that thing pumped full of Co2, 90 degrees will be way too hot for optimum growth. You need to get it down to 80 or less without Co2. Also, 2 - 600 watt lights is not enough to light an 8 x 8 table properly. A 600 will only properly cover a 4x4 (just over 3x3 personally). You will need 2 more. I am not trying to be a dick but I bet you get less than 500 grams as is.

i have 2 600w hps in a 4.5foot x 4.5 foot room. about 9200 lumen per square foot. in your room your getting about 1500 lumen per square foot. you will not end up with anything. lumen per square feet is an important number. take the total lumens your lights put out and divide by the square footage of your room. this number should be at least 7500. 10000 is about what a sunny day is outside.

this is simply not tru...

People need to remember this plant is a weed.

I grew my plants at 90 even at 91 with ZERO C02...just added lots of moving air (big fans) to keep them cool. My plants grew better faster thicker under the 90 then they did under 80.
TRIED TESTED & TRUE

maybe it was the strain but im gonna say 95 is more of a risky # then 90.
90 is ok providing you have lots of air. :weed:

i doubt the higher temps caused your plants to grow better... it was probably some other variable.

90 degrees is not the most optimal temp imo.

Thanks for all your opinions. 90 degrees is the max, I'm getting it down to 80 soon with a new vent. Ideally I'd have more light too, but for now I'll just have to see what I get I guess.
