Maximum Yield per Plant 1000W Light?

Hey what's up bro i'm actually located in bozeman and have a green card as well, i would add to everyone's input to switch from that huterite soil to some happy frog. My buddy got some of that stuff and i was very let down by it, horrible drainage and lacking in nutrients.

Thanks for the heads up man. I'm pretty sure we're going to be switching the soil as this shit just causes problems including gnats and mites. We ended up with an issue on our hands.

Without trying much, I typically get a little more than 2 lbs. per 1000 watt HP. I jam 24 plants under 2 lights, veg for no more than 26-28 days, pinch at least once, and flower typically for 65-70 days. 5 gallon pots, pro-mix mix, organic ferts. I alternate strains- one grow is for weight, the next grow is for quality. I always grow at least 2 strains for some variety........ simple and easy- I'm an old guy!

i run 5x1000 and see a bit better than a lb a light hope to see better yet when i get the genetics and dial in the ones i have 3 over a 4x8 tray in ocean forest

sorry to post back to bak but skunk you may still see knats with soil if it has any decomposing plant mass in it iv had nats with foxfarms ocean forest i use sunshine number 4 it has no nutes of its own and i mix 1 perlite to one cube of sunshine but ratio is some thing youll have to fine tune for yourself

I have seen caregivers, who swear by maintaining a forest with stalks the size of my arm, those puppy's were eating at least a 1000w each, and then i know some people who swear by never putting less than 1000w on a 5x5 area, in which case your yields (which are beyond variable) would be entirely effected.

you could figure out for your own situation by dividing the amount of yield you get by your overall light, this will give Grams/watt of light

good luck, sounds like your makin out just fine as is

i like that moose... big ups

A mistake i made early on is cramming too many or too big of plants together. Its best to fill te room, but leave each plant room to grow. For me, growing in an ebba nd grow, i found 8 plants, veg for just under a month, filling in about 1/3 of the overall space is perfect. Use clones, all the same strain. Grow it a few times to dial in to exactly what it likes to be fed. ALso, get a good yeilding strain. Make sure all conditions are ideal and keep at it. From what i have seen, yeild will come with experience. WHen i first started, i would have huge mistakes and errors, and my yeild sucked. The better you get, the more you get a feel for everything, the greater yeild you will acheive. No secrets, just doing everything correctly with a high yeilding strain under the ideal conditions. Dont focus your energy on expensive supplements and what not until you dial in all the basics. Remember your single limiting factor will throw off the entire balance.

I'm curious as to the max people are pulling from each plant under 1000W lights and how many plants per light you are doing. We have 4 lights and probably 20-30 plants. We are only pulling 1-3 ounces per plant. We are using Tiger Bloom and one other nutrient I can't name off hand right now and we are also using a Hutterite soil that is very airy. We add perlite, composted cow manure and bat guano. I'm hearing about people who are pulling 1-3lbs per plant. What are we doing wrong?

Is that 20-30 plants under 4 1000w lights?
20 plants,5 plants per 1000w pulling 3 ounce per plant. 15 ounce per light aint right,I can do 4 plants under a 400w and pull 3 ounce per plant.
