600 watt hps 8 plants?

i am looking to grow 8 plants in a 5x5 area possible with 600watt cool tube with good yied?

At least 4 pounds.... easy

Of course that all depends on genetics, growing system, experience, growing conditions, etc, etc

16*4=64 ounces in 4 pounds

64 ounces divides by 8 (# of plants) =8oz per plant

So you can get 8oz from one plant with a 600HPS??
Dont answer posts with nonesense

Depends on what you consider a "good yield". Also, there are a lot of factors that have nothing to do with the light. I have grown my medical limit of 6 "mature" plants under a 600 watt lamp and each plant produced about 2.5 ounces DRY. The grow area was 4x4 and I lollipopped them. It will depend on how you set up, the genetics you select for starters. Soil, hydro, soiless? I think that if you have good beans and do your part you can get at least two ounces per plant after dry+cure is complete.

If you want a good yeild then get some five gallon pots or buckets for your plants. Top em' and LST em' to keep them short. And veg for at least a month. You won't get 4 lbows but you should be able to pull off 2-3 oz's per plant.

LOL yeah 4 pounds??? there are 453 grams in a pound so 453X4 devided by 600 would be 3 grams per watt????? Good luck with that!

I grew 6 plants under a 600w and veged them untill they were 14-16 inches tall. I topped them or fim'd them and got a little over two oz's per plant.

Uncured, fresh off the plant, wet, using a broken scale

If high yields is what you are looking for then you need to seriously rethink your wattage. 1000w HPS bulbs for flowering IMHO create the largest densest fruit. But since you are using a 400watter then I would estimate that even if you do decent for your first round that you would get 1/4-1/2 a pound. <----Thats if you do decent or a little better. Advanced growers with sweet hydroponics will be able to pull 1 lb plus from that light however. I seriously doubt you will be able to yield this much as a noob grower. Dont forget you can also set yourself up for failure by picking the wrong strain. If you are growing for yeild you need to focus on heavy yielding strains. More importantly you just need to stay away from the moderate/low yield strains. Do thorough research on strains. Be sure to ask the right questions.

PM me if you need any help.

I just finished a round with the same set up i got 14 pounds so you should get close to that

If it's a good grow you might get a pound.

If it's your first grow, maybe 1/2 pound

You might want to get a second 600 watt hps, you'll get more from your plants from a small investment like that.

this is the kind of crap that makes learning anything on the internet extremely difficult.

Trial and error is making a comeback to say the least because eventually everyone is going to get tired of each others bullshit.

1000w = 5x5
600w = 4x4
400 = 3x3
250 = 2x2

The more you stretch those numbers, the more waste in wattage.

OR get some CFL's for the sides

thanks for all the great responses.....i have a 600 waatt hps 4 5x5 flower tent and 400watt mh for veg cab ....all i want is 1 pound .......could move 400watt into flower tent if need be if thatll increase yield dramatically ............do you think a 250 mh would support 8 vegg clones in 3.5 x3.5to 12-14 inches ? i kno i wont get multiple pounds cant have that much..............in past grow with wonder women i averaged over 2oz dry per plant with 400 watt hps...didnt fim top or train...in soil happy frog ... should i expect more with lst and topping techniques ? u guys r amazing....at least the people with a green thumb!

4 pounds? can i have your nute regiment, please?

i agree i feed almost exzactly the amount recommended by botanicare and dont get 4........let me guess if u add coke to the plants ull get 4 pounds .......itll only cost $1000.00 to grow ...........if u got proof 4 pounds id like to see it

I would try adding the 400 watt, I think it would make a significant difference.

Also I think using the 250 watt to veg would be fine.

Any way you can give it more light is going to help with yield

When is the best time to top the plant or is der a best time? Im 4 weeks into veggin its mt first grow, im usin a 90w led gona change to 400w hps for flowerin.

will having 4 to 6 tops per plant increase yield per plant.........also 185 cfm centerfuge fan and size 33 carbon filter be sufficient ? any reccomendations all ears .....would coje bottle and yeast up co2 in the room??........pointless with fan always exhausting?
