Are you wondering whether that will all fit under the light? Curious... what was your average yield off those 4-6 plants under the 600?

Haha diabolical nice avatar, I am also curious what you pulled as well I just raked in 17 oz's for my first grow 5 diff strains in 5 gallons smarts pots. Round 2 is halfway through. Im sure you will do just fine as well. I am about to run 2 20 gallon smart pots under my 600W LED not by choice just because I had some clones dampen off. Im sure you will do fine with either setup tho either just give em a little training you should be just as comparable to previous grows if not better!

sorry guys for taking so long, my bad ive been getting 2.5- 4 oz dry each even with cfls, hps tightens um up. just ordered smart pots ,15 gal for 15$ each give or take, im thinkin 5 oz dry ea. wat u think
 
I have a smart pot I havnt had a chance to use, wanted to see if I could do a little something along the lines so took a five gallon bucket and in addition to drainage holes I drilled maybe 20 1/2 inch holes in the sides, 4 rows of five on the "sides" of the bucket (do round buckets have sides?) Either way 4 rows of five holes. It didnt leak dirt or anything, well push came to shove and they had to get lost and I was very very impressed with the large root growth when I yanked em, it definitely made a difference adding hella side holes, who knows maybe 8 rows of five woulda been better, dries the soil a little quick but it was impressive, I figured I'd throw it out there because if you've got the buckets already its cheaper then buying the smart pots and likely to be just as good, I just saw you bought em tho, can always make it four lovely ladies and see what works best if your one to expirement
