4x8 tent, 2 hydrofarm raptor 8" dual bulb air cooled hood, each with 2 600s, 6 plants, 4 week veg, real vigourous strains, gonna go pheno hunting and might do clones instead of fs.. and wanna run all this on a 4 week perpetual.. wanna pull at least 2 lbs? will heat be an issue? anyone running 2kw in a 4x8 tent?

any tips? any input. I've been trying to figure the most trusted route over the last couple months.. but everytime I read something it derails me.. lol

my main goal is 2-3 lbs perp every month..

Check it out. You seem like a smart dude. Take everything you have read with a grain of salt because nothing is going to go as your planning. Unless you don't have a job.. or are freakishly ocd, perpetual never works out.. At least on a high grams per watt scale . This is my opinion but I have been doing this awhile and still haven't found anyone doing it that way. And anyone that is.. Know your not getting a cycle down every month. Some strains take longer .. You need to harvest, clean, transplant.. It is a lot of work. Not to mention if you get a problem you're fucked because you are in different weeks . You have to make different feeds , pain in the ass.
With that aside.. You have way too much light in that tent, also an opinion some may say different.

But to think that your going to get 6 pounds from a 4x8 tent ..I gota let you know it is highly unlikely. You would have to be a beast . And the entire tent would have to be wall to wall nugs on top of nugs zero empty spaces . I'm not saying it's not doable.. I'm just saying if you can come even close to your expectations you should start a hundred light op because you're badass. Let me know if you need any help
Also buying fem seeds and expecting to get a good pheno is pretty much a pipe dream. Find someone who does really well, and pay them whatever they want for some good genetics

Ac?
Fresh air or co2
what nutes

And a veg room the size of the flower room to have the next round already grown and ready to flip the day of harvest .

actually meant 2 4x8s. sorry. but it's achievable. I know it.. it's just dialing it in. it's going into supersoil soil so water only with blumats (maybe).. the perpetual plant day and reset day is gonna be a lot of work but it's not only me.. I'm going to get into a coop.

last outdoor i ran with 8 week veg yielded 4-5oz each plant. and I ran into problems back to back to back start to finish.. and I could've imagined what I would have got.. at least 6. all I need to do is run a 6-8 6-8oz plants under that light and I never said 6 pounds I said 2-2-3 from all 6 girls total..

Here is the best plan I can give you with your goals in mind.

Spaces:
4x8 = Flower only
4x8 #2 = Flower only
4x4 = Veg/clone only

Plan:
Take cuttings (need 4 to survive, so take at least 5)
2 weeks later Take cuttings again, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 weeks later transfer 4 week old clones to flower, take cuttings, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 weeks later transfer 4 week old clones to flower, take cuttings, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 weeks later transfer 4 week old clones to flower, take cuttings, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 weeks later transfer 4 week old clones to flower, take cuttings, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 weeks later harvest 1/2 room of finished bud, transfer 4 week old clones to flower, take cuttings, transplant previous cuttings/clones
2 wee...... Just keep repeating the last step forever every 2 weeks

With that setup you can hit your goals. Now on the lights, add up the lumens, anything over 7500 per square foot is wasted without going to CO2 enriched, sealed, a/c, ... If you want higher quality supplement the HPS with 20% blues and UVB.

Sounds like you got it all figured out. Keep us posted . Air conditioning ? Co2? 2-3 pounds every month is what you said . So does that mean you will be taking down a 4x8 space with 2400'watts monthly? 3 pounds sounds achievable then if you know what your doing

hahah i don't got it all figured out yet.. that's why I came here looking for insight, mostly on heat issue. will try one run without co2 then with and decide to keep it or not.

I just figure if I can run and veg with a million and one problems and still pull 17 zips of 4 girls. if I dial in I can do that in half the time in optimum conditions.

What you were able to do outdoor... And what's going to happen indoor are completely different situations . You're going to need air conditioners .. Heat issue solved

I know it possible. but with my coop it's highly likely after a couple runs. I'm not saying it's gonna happen first run.. but I'll get there thanks for all the input.

I get over 6 ps from a 4x8 so I know it's doable just highly unlikely In a perpetual with a rookie . Good luck with your coop please start a thread and share
