What is the recommended amount of plants to have under each 1000w light if only vegging for 30 days?

How do some growers place only 1 plant under just 1 1000watt HPS, and get 2 lbs per light / per plant? How long must their veg time be? Supposedly, some growers accomplish this feat consecutively with the traditional and most common veg time of just 30 days, followed by a 60 day flowering period. Anyone here pulling this off?

So 6 plants under each 1000 watt light, correct?

No one gets 2lb a plant of 30 days veg under 1000w, to increase yeild you need a bigger plant which means more veg time.How do some growers place only 1 plant under just 1 1000watt HPS, and get 2 lbs per light / per plant?

truthfully it really depends on what style you are gonna grow, you can do 10-15 nice little indicas under each if you use the tall narrower pots and trim them to single cola style while they veg, makes for a nice sog, or you can top out 4 each indicia branching sativa hybrids under a net and have a wicked nice scrog going, but for a standard veg and grow all natural untrained grow, 6-7 each light should get you where you are going

This I would have to see to believe, I've talked with a few one pound one plant guys on here and they all veg for at Least a 3 month period just to get the plant training doneHow do some growers place only 1 plant under just 1 1000watt HPS, and get 2 lbs per light / per plant?

So would you say that it would be easily attainable, and consecutively possible, to get within the ballpark figures of (2 lbs +/-) per 1000 watt HPS; with a plant count of 4 to 6 (preferably 4) per light, with only a 30 day veg?

With the 30 days veg under the 1000w? Mh, or hps? I assume you would be starting in final pots which will slow veg growth, tbh I just don't see 2 lbs every 3 months in one tent, for the quantity you are wanting to obtain you will have to run a two tent perpetual grow, @breakdancer0003 is the guy to talk to about how to do it, he has a nice MMMP thread going and stays on top of his work, nice thread to watch for some good tips

It's doable if you've got the right strain. Identical canopy is kind of key here. And I would pack probably 50 in a 4x4 or 5x5 under a 1k hps dwc or ebb n flow and 2lbs every 2.5-3 months shouldn't be too hard.

Holy crap 50!
Like in solo cups or something?

Compleately agree with kmogg, I wasn't even thinking hydro! Definately the way to go to get those numbersHydro I've got 19 in this 3x3. Started with 24.this was a week and a half ago.

It's best to run beds when doing large numbers of plans in soil. Root systems in beds work very differently than in pots and it's beneficial to the system and yield. Eliminates the root space limit to an extent.

Which hydroponic method are you utilizing? With that many plants in that space it can't be buckets, rock wool cubes in trays perhaps?Hydro I've got 19 in this 3x3. Started with 24.this was a week and a half ago.

Have 2 3 gallon dwc buckets that started with 6 but are down to three plants each. And a 12 site 16 gallon aero tote that has 10 of its sites filled. Then I have three party cups in there from the party cup comp on here.

I did go mostly from seed this run which is cool because I'll have a lot of variety but I bet I wouldve yield better if they had been more uniform so I could control my canopy better.
