I have done 2.5 on a regular basis for 9 months now. Before that I only used 600s and would pull 1.5. Did that for 5 years or so. I have hit 3 per 2 or 3 times during those 9 months.

No journals or anything I don't post pictures for security reasons.

so what do you have 1k under each table? how tall are the plants at harvest?

i definitely hear what you're saying you don't think tutorial forums like the ones i posted below are only good for aero grows with prior experience? but what are you usually yielding with the 30 under a 1k? how much of a difference have you noticed growth speed and yield between aero and dwc? and for dwc what you you just like putting 15 plants in a tote? sorry for all the questions i appreciate all your feedback

Running the same strain for a while now, I pull 900 + grams off of my plants every 50-55 days. It took me a while to get those numbers to what they are. I've been told 1 gram per watt is better but the genetics of the plant will only allow 1-1.25 oz per plant in the SOG setup with the 4-6 day veg time I give them .

One 1000w DE covering a 5x5 tray. Plant are 18-24 inches at harvest.

in the 5x5 did you notice you got more of a yield when you use less (25) or more plants (36) plants? and what do you use for the blue dream, the rock wool or hydroton? you should do a journal! lol

yeah I'm thinking on gavitas too, just a little concerned with heat

I'm gonna have the room for it, like a high celing and I gotta cover 250sq/ft, (not sure If i'm gonna go 500SQft) with multiple fixtures. And I wont have a plant limit, Multiple 5X5 trays..

If your gonna do SOG with DE look at the sun system air cooled DE, if you think you're gonna have issues with heat. Those DE's are kinda tricky, I guess you gotta keep em hot

Hmmm.. yeah I guess that would work. :)

Hey I see you using raindrip sprayers.. how long you get those to go before they clog?. I know I had problems with inconsistent spray patterns over time.

Very rarely had a clog----because of the filters I used----2" pvc cross, three holes covered with 1000 micron stainless steel screen (pic in my journal). Because of the tube panels the spray line was very easy to get to.

A~~~

Nice!.. Yeah my problem is over time the minerals or whatever blocks some of the orfices over time. In my aeroflo knockoff I ran the returns over a stack of filter media of progressively finer screens that was about 4 inches thick (dont ask me micron size). Granted it did take a long time to start seeing a clog but it still clogged.
