You'd better get more than 12 off that or ima b pissed off!!! haha

1000HPS... the canopy is 4x5
Seriously, why people still using 1000 watters??? ... If u plan on making any changes to your setup and wana see increased yield, my recommendation, ditch the 1000W, replace with 2 600W HPS using digital ballasts (they save power compared to standard magnetic ballasts - and are just better all round really lol) ... You get better light coverage, more lumens, you can get the bulbs closer to the plants with 600s, light dissipates over distance, so the closer you can get those bulbs to the plants the better!

Just a suggestion. Other yield increasing tip would be to look into ScrOG!

You'd better get 10oz + ... Coz this baby here, she yielded 10oz, dried, manicured and jar cured for 30 days. Just in 20L bucket DWC styles. - Excuse the burn on her, was my first ever attempt at hydro. The yellow leaves are fine, gave her no Nitrogen for the last 4 weeks of flowering (out of 8) so the autumn colour was expected, encouraged in fact. The brown burned bits were my bad :D Lesson learned!!!

Cheers man.

i hear ya on the 600s... my tent is 8X4 so if i had 2 600 instead of the 1000 ide be able tp use the whle thing but the bulb and balaset was given to me so i cant complain... im pondering on the 2 600's after this is done or a light rail... the light rail will be cheeper but the 2 600's will give me waaaay more lumenis... sumthin for me to ponder on for a bit.. thnx for the input

Must me a pain to water all those little ladies.
no man... theres only 12 clones in 2 lt bottles, the rest is 7 bushes in pots... the clones r an experiment to see if i wanna do a sog like that but after this i dont think i will... like u say, lotsa work watering them plus they need it more often.. ill probly jus stick with the super-cropping

nice one sogbunn, I say 9 oz's+

i dont completely agree with the 2 600 watt idea but its worth a try, you have to realize your nuggs wont be as dense and hard as they would be under a 1000watt hps therefore affecting weight however the extra light coverage of 2 600 watt hps could make up for that.

You mentioaned you didnt do anything regardging the nitrogen deficienies, whats ur plan for the next run?

I was taking into account you have a bit of time left. You'll get a little more than a pound. I say keep the leaves and make hash, too. That way you'll get a couple grams of hash and a couple ozs of weed.

Also great idea.
ya, plus i like to share... goin to a party with a batch of brownies will go farther then a block of hash... plus i have nvr made hash, seems like a lota work as aposed to boiling water for butter... i always keep enuff trim around all yr to make oil for days when i run outta weed

I personally would definitely go with 2 600's over the light mover. Although it will cost a little more in the short term, in the long term it will quickly be made up for in extra harvest weight!!!
