i talked to the owner of a hydro shop near my house he said he used to grow n when he did he would get 2 1/2 pounds from 5 plants under a 1000 w...is that normal my first grow i got 4 oz from two plants n thought that was pretty good?

its possible depends on expirence strain method of growing co2 usage and pefect growing are.2 dry oz per plant inside inst really bad

i would say thats a pretty average amount for a 1000watt. only putting 5 under a 1000watt is kinda a waste.

NO that is not normal..... that is somebody who really dialed there shit... It is more likely that you would get 5lbs from 2 lights as opposed to 2.5 lbs from 1 light...

I would not say he is lying.. but I am skeptical...

this system here in the picture is

17 plants
2 - 1000 watt HPS
can't remember the strain.... i think WHITE WIDOW
CO2
bucket system
AC
demhudifier
RO water
I forget the nutrients.... ?

anyway this room harvested between 3 and 5.5 lbs per harvest.... depending on the strain....

weediscool, you say it like its so easy, lets see you do it.

2 1/2lb per 1k lighting is a expert grower, that means he has everything right and he knows exactly what, when and how much to feed them. Basicly that is what you call the perfect grow. I get a average of 1.5lb per 1k lighting and i had a few times almost reached the 2lb mark per light, and im still working myself to achieve the 2 1/2 per light because my friend which taught me a few things does this.

i never said anything was easy. but once you know what youre doing and if you can keep your environment maintained throughout the growing process imo 2.5lbs in a harvest with a 1000watt is normal... or average. obv depending on strain or subtle things you maybe neglected you can get less and if youre getting under that, as you said, you could tweak something to make it better and estimate getting more next harvest

and i would have too many heat/air/temp issues if i were to use a 1000 watt with my current setup. but garden himself says he can get 5.5 with 2. mathmatics.

all im saying is that im sure theres a shitton of people getting about the same amount per light, so if the owner of a hydroponics shop is saying he gets or used to get 2.5 from a light, i would prob not be suprised.

if you were into hydroponics enough to make it youre career, how many pounds per light do you think youd be getting?

If i were a betting man.... i say less than 20% of the growers get more than 1lb per 1000 watts and less than 2% get 2lbs or more per 1000 watts...


I do agree with weedcool... that once the system is dialed.... it can really start turning out the PRODUCT.... but most people just don't push it to that level... which is fine... 1lb per light is not bad. 2lbs is GREAT..

2.5 lbs is fooking is radical.....

well only a expert grower would know how to dial in the right environment. I had my setup done for about 6 months now and im still tweaking shit each harvest. Even with all the money in the world a noob grower wouldn't get everything right because you have to work around the space and environment your given not what's in the book, so anybody can just say that you gotta have the perfect environment and bam you get 2.5lb automatic.

the cost of createing the perfect enviroment in a grow room is costly,co2,dehumidifiers,box heaters,ac units,fresh lights,high end reflectors,timers to regulate the on off of air extraction and co2 replacement,great genetics,and the electricity to run all these,is beyond most peoples reach,i find the cost of electricity to create the perfect enviroment is very expensive,in BC X worked for Y and Y had tractor trailers set up around the province,some under ground some above ground in the end he settled for a pound and 1/2 per light after that it got expensive and time consumeing,i just find that most of the talk about 2 plus pounds per light is geared towards us spending money on all types of products to reach the holy grail,its like doing crack and chaseing the dragon.In every rosenthal,jorge,high times,cannabis culture,they all talk of a gram per watt for every 60 days of flowering,and they talk as it is the norm,but it is not the norm,but with out the great genetics nothing can happen,we all cant be arnold swarzenegger even with the same workout and diet.so is 21/2 pounds achievable,probably with a great strain and the perfect indoor enviroment,heck in canada its expensive just to keep us comfortable in our harsh climate never mind a grow room.

I dont sell weed and due to my location and where i grow, i am confined to using a 400watt hps. So using a 1000watt light or producing a 2lb yeild is an impossiblity for me. however if i chose to move my grow room to a place where i could actually maintain a 1000watt light, and if i had the money to buy the necessary supplys, I dont see why I, or anyone else would have a prob reaching that goal. I just dont know wtf I would do with 2lbs of weed every harvest besides smoke my self retarded.

we can argue semantics all night. all im saying is youve had your system up for 6 months. youre already getting nearly 2 lbs... and you said with some tweaking of it you expect to get a larger yeild in the future. Growing weed is not hard and if youre not getting 2lbs with a 1000watt light you could be if you fixed something. and if you cant maintain the correct growing environment for your light, you need to downgrade or accept the less than optimal results.

I guess I could have replaced the word "average" for "its been known to happen relativly often for people who have a decent understanding for what it takes to grow marijuana". I just assumed that when we were talking about people with 1000watt lights, we werent talking about the kids who are growing LR2 seeds in a computer tower in moms basement.

anyways. to answer OPs question. Id prob take the word of the man who owns the hydroponics store and inquire about the type of setup he used in addition to his light, and see if he can help you construct a similiar one if possible.
