Some questions about yields

Hey I had a question I figure some of the experienced guys can answer...

When I go hydro, I was planning on doing an aero setup similar to the one filthyfletch did a tutorial on. Well im only using a 400watt HPS to flower, so if I did a 4 site aero setup would I yield the same as a 6 site aero setup? By that I mean does it matter how many plants I use? I hear watts=buds, so if I did 4 site setup,5 site setup,6 site setup, they would all come out about the same weight wise??? I've heard from others I can get like 1oz per plant? SO I would think the number of plants do matter??

Also can I get like an oz per plant with a 400 watter? Thanks for any input! So looking forward to trying hydro out.

i have grown hydro and I love the speed and yield but the smokes are so harsh i will never do it again. even with a good 10 days flush at the end. i had to water cure my buds just so i could smoke them. 5 one foot plants equals 1 5 foot plant. it depends on how big you veg them. i personally like a lot of small plants so the turnaround is quick and they are much easier to address and manage when needed. After a month of growing they can get out of hand and I hate dealing with large bulky plants. trim and prune and train them to stay low and i recommend 6 medium size vs. 4 large plants.. it will even save you money in the end with electricity and hydro nutes

started from seed and put in 12/12 14 days ago. Gone from 14' to 26" and covered with young flowers. I'm told a sativa will double, sometimes, triple in size during flowering. Never thought mine ws gonna get this big. Question is if you're starting with clones, how tall before you flower ? 10" doesn't sound big enough but I guess it is ????? Yeh and I have also heard the "harsh" thing too many times. I'm stickin' with good ole sunhine mix.

Usually 10-12 inches until you decide to flower

its not that bad..come on now! if you flush periodically through your grow and your not using full strength nutes your good. and a 10 day flush is butter baby!
