Here are two Barneys Farm G13 Haze I grew several years hydro in 20 gallon tubs. I don't remember final numbers but each plant put out over 2lbs. You can see the height of the door in the back round, the room has 9 foot ceilings and this picture is only around 60 days in. Plants flowered for 155 days, I was forced to top them several times they were too big. First time growing an extreme sativa I had no idea how huge the stretch would be.

All depends on strain, veg time, and your skills, Environment , and wattage a 6 oz plant is still hard to achieve by many growers ,, Way to look at it is you need 4 times that n weight to make 6 oz dry 24 oz on a plant is a shit load of buds properly dried .. to make 6 oz for one pound plant you need 4 pounds wet again real hard to achieve in real world times unless your on the internet where everyone is blowing pounds out there ass lol bud on 5 gallon was like 6 oz wet ended up being 42 grams dry one minute there nice n big on drying table next day or 2 there half the size and one thinks who the hell stole my weed :)

You're running a thouie over 8 ft²? Does it work?

I run just thirty W/ft²...

It was 2 6s. Yeah it worked sweet. Definitely overkill but that wasn't just hps it was mh and mv aswell. I've noticed yield increases all the way up to 100wpsf. Then I added the mv for more uv-b and seen resin go mad lol. I think it's fairly obvious that I wasn't getting anywhere near 1gpw but that didn't matter. It was a small space and I needed to get MAX out of it for a while. It worked.

Right now I'm running about 55wpsf but that will be getting upped to around 100 again when I get around to getting some co2 set up.

And here I thought 33.3W/ft² of CXB3590 running at 56.3% efficiency was going to be a lot...

Meanwhile, I haven't run over 30W/ft² with HID in a long time.

How much MV did you use?

2 80w arcadia basking lamps, one was brand new one had been gifted from a friend. I fiddled about with the timing but in the end I couldn't find anything Conclusive so I just ran them through full flowering cycle. I simply unplugged them from outside before entering the room.
I'm also interested in the effects of IR on plants before lights out, apparently plants can rest much quicker after lights out when they've been exposed to IR.

Over how big a canopy?

About 8-9 square foot. About 18 inch from plant tops. On this next flowrring cycle in the new op they will be covering about 34 square foot or maybe I will get another one to add to them.
One thing is they do put off quite abit of heat so I blow a fan at them, not sure if this reduces life span of the bulb or not. There's not much information out there about the levels needed to make the plant need to produce more resin, so it's all abit of trial and error. But I know that 20 wpsf definitely makes a difference. I'm also scrapping the mh bulbs and simply using a 600w dual arc. I find that too much mh makes for a lot of leaf and stems never seem to be able to withstand the weight.

Eventually I will bite the bullet and buy some cdm lighting. I think led would also b excellent but the technology is not readily available and what is commercially available changes in design and principle every year. I take it you built your own? That's the way to go but I don't have the skills necessary.

860W CDM lights are cheap, because they use a standard thousand watt magnetic ballast.

I got 9OZ's DRY off a friggin auto after 10.5 weeks, first time in hydro, first run in a new room, 1 600W, in dwc. I'm definitely no pro like some on here, I've been growing for years, just getting serious about it now, but if you aren't pulling at least 6oz's off a reg plant, either start hitting the books or sell your equipment. I would be thoroughly pissed at myself if i was getting under a half LB/plant.

I'd run 8 plants under the 2 600's in a 6x4 area. More even coverage and you can get closer to the canopy. Assuming you get 1/2lb per..you're looking at 4 lbs.

What about a case where a person wants a lot of variety in smoking choice, but is only growing for one person?

Is it OK with all y'all for a person to harvest less than that? Sometimes I wonder when I read a post like @WeedFreak78 above. No offense intended to you, or anyone else, hear me out.

Not everyone's end-goal is the same. I don't want multiple pounds laying around, but I love growing and seeing the pretty phenotypes and just the whole hobby of it. I have a career, I'm trying to stay out of the weed business, at least for now. I don't want to be a producer or a consumer, I want to be a cannabis-subsistence-farmer. I'm interested in growing a monster now and then, and the first grow I participated in (helped a buddy) was very good. I'll not say how good, but we did respectably according to the standards mentioned in this thread.

I think there is a strong tendency, and I'm not saying it is bad, toward assuming all of our goals are identical. What I mean by that is "the most of the best" we can produce. I'm personally interested in managing my output and maximizing quality so I can maintain a reasonable supply without becoming a micro-kingpin or something. Shit, I'm just having fun, and simultaneously turning a $3000 a year bag bill into a relatively cheap and very fulfilling hobby.

I still love seeing beastly plants, indoor or outdoor. I just want to see the overall Canna community's field-of-view and focus-length be wide and deep, if you'll allow that metaphor. Cool thread, I digress, please proceed.

I have to say I Agree 100%, in the year before I started growing my bag bill was over 7 thousand pounds (20 a day) And that's why I started. I grew 9 2-3 oz plants every 3 month and smoked every last bit lol.

I for one believe that every person has their own limitations which govern them. It could be; usable space, time frame, plant count, start up costs, power consumption.... Etc. these limitations are the reason everyone's grows are different.

For example I don't want to have more than 10 plants in flower at a time, I only have a small spAce, power consumption doesn't matter too much but I do want a harvest every ~9 weeks. my grow just followed suit, that's how most people end up with their current grow room, evolution.

When I first started I was getting less grams per plant and watt but still getting more grams per square meter than all my friends. Whatever you're limitation is then that's what you should try to raise the gram per on.

If you can only use a small amount of power then u might get an led grow light and tinker away until you're getting 2+ gpw. If you can only have 1 plant then you might buy a 1000w de hps and tinker away until that 1 plant is producing 20+ozs. If you only have 100 bucks to spend u might scrape together a pretty cool grow cabor closett and maybe pull 400g from your 100 bucks investment.

These are all examples grows that maybe efficient to some people but not to others.

Your grow is just that, YOURS. And if you're doing well enough to be happy with your outlay and income then your grow is efficient.

I hear what your saying..and what i said doesn't really apply to micro/cab growers. I'm always trying to maximize yield.. I need about 3/4 of a LB just to float me from one harvest to the next, and i like being able to shelf a 1/4-1/2 pound from each crop for long term/drought situations. I don't deal either..it's all personal use. I smoke close to 2 oz/mth by myself, then with friends and whatnot closer to a QP.

OP was talking about a 6x6 area under a 1000 or some 600's and I was just trying to say that 6oz's per plant in that area, not a micro cab situation, isn't hard at all and should be hit without too much effort. I personally don't see the point in purposely restricting plant size to keep yields down if you have the room, lights,time,etc..seems counter intuitive to me.

Again on average a 6 - 8 oz plant is fair sized plant specally if its a OG or any other good Quality strain that is a low yielder ..
you were getting a QP in 6 x 6 area ??? dayum curious what strain i was banging 4.75 pounds per 4 x 8 area 2 k or 1180 dry grams 4 plant under 1 k 5 x 5 area
