I am wondering if a vertical hydro system has been set up Similar to heath robinson's one, with 120 slots, 1000 hps, og kush strain, plus training the plants n scrog them and best nutrients used. How many grams would each plant give? Inputs are greatly appreciated, thanks
 
A 1000/1600watt, including UVB lights, reason being a vertical system, the plants get more light than a horizontal one, this includes the lowers leaves/bud of the plant, the hydro system is based on the one heath robinson made years ago, consist of gravity taking the water back to the res, and for all the negative inputs, still appreciated but it was just a simple question, nothing more to it.

lol its not a simple question at all...Its a question that has so many variables...

IMHO you should research this more before you get into it...Growing is pricey and the less you know
the more you pay...Just trying to be real with you...
 
About 600-1200 grams total if you do everything correct and I think you're saying per 1kw hps. That's also assuming eight weeks max. It doesn't matter how you cut it you can only cram so much around a lightbulb.

What kind of growing experience do you have?
Ive thought about this myself there would be like ten million ways of doing it but only a couple of them the right way of doing it.Aero with very small plants put in from cuttings with very high numbers of them.
A vert system does not mean its going to get MORE light.It just gets light all the way around the bulb.Or more growing surface area.So is the theory of it anyway.Ive been thinking allot about it but have my reservations for allot of reasons.Enough to write a book on it.
You would have to do a stadium grow in vert from everything ive seen in order to compete with anything else.The stadium in theory could greatly increase your production.
IMHO forget about the lower buds of the plant even in vert.
You will never compete trying to make the lower buds larger or as large as the top colas if your growing for that purpose you are going to lose weight.
If you are new id recommend you get a tent.Tents are the most effective way of growing and maximizing light and space.It will be simple and effective you will get good results faster.

I hear what your saying bro,more research I definitely need to do, but the whole idea of the question was to see other peoples opinions, not whether I can do it or not. What your saying is true though, that's the kinda inputs I'm asking for, appreciate your knowledge and honesty, and I was thinking about the tent aswell, if you got time inbox me about your ideas about the stadium theory I would love to hear it.

Peace

Yeah I agree on that
 
I get between 80-100g every two weeks using 1kw hps and 25 rooted clones(no veg time). I get some good hash outta the deal also.
 
I believe he ran a 600 with like 80 plants? I havent seen his setup in several years, but it sounds like you want to build the same thing but bigger... yeah seems pretty feasible. If you think you can duplicate his yield, do the math what he got per watt and do the math for a 1k. BLAM GET EXCITED!

Just to ask, why no veg time? I get on average 12-14 ounces per week(36-42oz per system) under 1ks from 12 plants with 21-28 days veg. Half the plants and 6-7x the yield.

His shit really works, and the set up is kinda complicated but not that difficult, just think game 120 slot, what the amount would be, some great shit if you catch my drift
