Ok so these 2 "haze" plants have been vegging for easily 3.5months based on me topping them and trying the cloning off them. They seem very healthy and dont really get much taller anymore than now. Its crazy how spread out on plant is and other one is a bush all the way down and way thicker stem. You would think diff strains lol. They both started as seeds that my buddy kept for couple yrs supposed from haze he had. Anyways....

Im just getting clones back to life after transplant and want to put them inside my 6x6 under the t5(white bulbs) and considering puttin the 2 haze plants into the 8x4 tent that has the 3 1kw lights. I know this is crazy overkill but the room is setup for 12 pot ebb n flow an i dont have plants ready for flowering that are even in hydro anyways.

Think ill get nice harvest off the 2 of them under the 3 1kw lights. Ill transplant them into 7gal pots before moving away from t5. ??? Nutrients are b.c. brand and fox farm soil.

Bro, you can flower two of them under one light and you will have space for more plants under that light (I can't really see dimensions of the plant), I am thinking of flowering my mothers too now ,but they are 5 foot tall and 3.5 foot wide and I am scared that I will not have enough space for them since I can only let them stretch for one foot i have no idea how it's going to work out
 
I dont have more plants to go into flowering thats why im only doing those 2. The clones i have are mabe 2 weeks old so they staying under a t5 for couple months. Mine as well flower my 2 that are already 3.5 months old.

A friend just harvested 9 plants under 12000 watts in 12x12 room. His harvest was retarded amount over pound each plant. I seen for my own eyes so i know more juice is more harvest. As long as temps can be maintained then they will be fine.

So now im just curious if ill get acouple moster plants cause they have 1500watts each :) my temps stay at 74-77* colder if i want.
 
Plants are only 28" and about 2ft wide. They take up the lenth of 4ft t5 when the cloner isnt between them. Just scored an 8 bulb 4ft t5 for 125 so the veg tent have 12 bulbs hangin which should be enough for cloner and 12 plants to veg.
 
9 pounds off 12k watts is an awful yield sorry to say. and 3k watts with those 2 plants is completely overkill. if you use 2k watts i think you would still be overkill but at least you would save some electricity.

Idk wasnt my grow... just know he did soil in 7gal pots and lollipoped them. Was alot of bud in my eyes per plant but im not professional grow lol. I have plenty to learn. If the plants use all the light they have available then why not? Is there a limit that a plant will use for light cause i see posts about ppl using massive lightin for little plant amounts an everyone says good harvests ect. Even you said over lb each plant at 12kws was shitty yeild so clearly they use whats available. You can school me on some basics if you want haha. Just going by what ive seen personally.
 
there is no talking to you cause you are a noob that knows everything, just like i was. after you fail for 6 months hit me up and start listening when i give you good advise.
 
You didnt give me any advise... i am a noob yeah but i am on here reading everyday and i look into the book jorge or whatever his name is wrote almost everyday. I want to learn most i can. Of course its mostly hands on and trial and error ect but that doesnt mean i wont listen. Your advise was use 2 1kw lights rather than 3 to save electric. I asked why if electric wasnt an issue for me and neither were temps because what ive seen was more lighting the better. Then i said if you know something i dont (whether more experience or just knowledge) then feel free to school me on it. Im not like alot of noobs and think i know it all. If someone knowledgeable speaks up and tells me to do things one way for a certain reason that makes sence i would certainly do it because i dont want to loose out on a whole crop after spending over 4k and way too much time.
 
if you keep them happy then the outcome with 3k should be pretty impressive. i will say that they do not look like "haze", as haze is a very strong sativa that grows very tall and those look very indica.
 
I would suggest one light over each plant and the third hanging vertically..bare bulb (no hood) between the two. Turn each plant 1/4 turn every day or two. This will give you a great yield.
 
Oh by the way a lb a plant indoors is very good. 9 lbs off 12k watts aint awesome i would guess plant count was his limiting factor.

a pound off a thousand is shit. specially if you live in areas like myself and electricity is outrageous. im honestly upset if i get anything under 2ps per thousand but im hard on myself.

those plants are small and are not going to utilize a full thousand watt each, let alone 1500 watts per. marijuana only needs a certain amount of lights or lumens until it is considered overkill. a thousand watt bulb in a hood puts off enough light to cover a 4x4 area no problem. in fact ive covered as much as a 6x5 space per thousand and done well. if you really feel you need that extra thousand to feel badass (you must drive a lifted truck) then by all means add it, but it would be better utilized as a bare verticle as someone said above. i put about 6 plants that size per thousand watt..

growing weed is about being efficient. why waste money when its not going to do shit for you. if this is your first run, you should be stoked if you pull a half pound per plant, i dont care how much light you put under it, those plants aren't going to put out much more than that.
 
A lb per 1000 watts its less than .5 gpw. you are right that its not great. What i said is that a lb per plant is great indoors amd that he prob only got 9 lbs because of only havimg 9 plants under 12 lights. Definite overkill.

I personally believe that 3 k for those two plants is too much too. He sounds set on doing it though so i suggested what i figure would yield him the most.

The room in my avatar had 4 1000s in it. it yielded 6 lbs on avg until i hung the one mh that ran with 3 hps barebulb pretty much in the canopy amd moved it around every few days. Then it started yielding 8+
 
I say go for it mate, if the cost of power doesn't bother you then why not? See how you do, you're a beginner so experimenting is great. No point wondering something forever and who knows you might prove these guys wrong. I mean people will tell you things wont work but how many of them have actually tried it?

8+ with 4k is damn good. i did 11.5 with 4k watts my last one. im doing 5200 watts this one
 
Damn patrick! over a gpw you must have a great set up. I was running a great pheno of old school shiva skunk the seed my cut came from was sprouted in 97. It yielded massive colas of sugar coated goodness. Lost it in a house fire and have popped 40 shiva skunk seeds that i ordered and never found anything close.IMG_20120908_015227.jpg

I have only ever been able to get around 3 ounces per plant from indoor soil plants under a single 1000w HPS... but that is with about 45-50 days of veg time after cloning... why does no one ever talk about the specifics of the gram per watt analisis.... how many plants/system/veg time. I don't care who you are... getting 8 ounces off of a 24" plant in soil seems unrealistic to me.... that's all I am saying. Not calling anyone a liar, but like I said I just don't see anyone pulling those kinds of numbers unless they are doing hydro, or vegging a scrog grow for like 5or 6 months... big differences in all those styles of growing.

1.3 gpw. i dont do a plant count per light thats sheep shit. i shove as many of those fuckers as i can fit. i veg.. as long as it takes.. and no one said 8 ounces off a 24 inch plant. the OP hasnt even started flowering either so shit tends to stretch the first couple weeks if you do things right :). ive pulled 8 zones off a plant 3 foot tall though. dont cruise around calling people liars cause you cant do it yourself.
 
See some of the stuff you guys say is the reason why i come post here and read here. You guys have clearly been doing it for so long that is now sport for most. Btw i dont drive lifted truck lol. I was just told by other kid more light is always better. The fact that you say to shove more plants under one light just shows i guess its about growing and how you go about it rather than light...
