2-3lbs per light meaning that the 1 light is on 1 plant? or square footage with multiple plants? like will 3 plants under that 1 light produce 3 lbs each? or 3 lbs in total no matter how many plants are under the 1 light in your given space?... Sorry im high as alien balls rn

3lb's a light is absolutely posible. Finally started doing exactly that with a few different strains by switching to DE's (1150watts) and increasing the footprint of canopy under those DE's compared to single endeds.
Oh, and i'm in sealed growrooms;-)

Good look bro really all I wanted to see was that defoil tech. Kinda hurt my heart to see those plants striped down to hardly anything but that's where you gotta have the right mix of soil and bennies or giving the right amount of nutes to help it bounce back but doing it twice just seems like it may hurt yield but I'm gonna try this on a few plants see what it do

IDK even with the plants stripped like that with the lights so far the bottom doesn't get much light, obviously in that video those plants look great tho.

Of course they don't! That "guy" paid THEM for the piece! Now you have to buy his book to find out!
High times is a blight on our growing community in my opinion! For things just like that! Danny Danko the growing questions and answers guy can be full of shit! Piece's like "The worlds Strongest Strains" is simply a fluff story that only covers things that pass through THEIR "cup" competition.....Lol and many of you guys read that and go ape shit trying to buy them on line and the breeder makes a killing. Wonder if there's a connection there?

Will Shater - It's like this. The guy who wrote the book is completely dialed in on his specifically chosen strains! He's going to tell you in that propaganda rag, that you'll need to buy "his" nutrients to make success easier then using any others (he might suggest try what you use first - but I'll bet dimes to dollars he will at some point say you'll do better with "his").
He will outline common advanced knowledge as "his special method" and yeah. It'll work IF you do it right!
He is simply playing off the novice growers innate "need" to get the biggest, mostest and bestest results (not "real" wording and misspelling on purpose!).....

Look man, I get an average under a 1K with Blue Dream and water only super soil. No "special" topping or anything more then just a top or 2 and under the lights they go..and get 10.4 zips per plant on average per run. That's 41.6 zips or 1165 grms or 2.6 lbs a 1K and I'm not even trying for 3lbs.....It would be easy to do!

What I'm trying to say is that 5 big Ben's for a book that's mostly common knowledge is sold to really stupid people! AND High Times is an industry tool for profit margins. It's filled with incomplete and outdated information that generally misleads. ONCE IN AWHILE,,,,you get a good article.....OR one that actually carries some new information in a very brief outline, that if you want more? You have to research for real and complete information at other source's.

Spend the money on better or more equipment/seed stock!

Skip it and learn the basics first.....when you can get over 2lbs a light with out trying.....You'll find that 3 is not going to be hard!

And gotta agree with DrWho on High Times, tried to get em to run an article on my early amber chapter and they refused because my pics were not high def enough, I still have the email from Danny LOL Bottom line is my chapter refutes one of there articles and my methods go against most of their sponsors

I still maintain "Why strip off leaves close to the light so that light can "penetrate" to leaves further away? Are the bottom leaves any better at collecting solar energy and converting it to complex sugars than the higher leaves? I just don't buy it.
