I'm on a quest to grow 2lbs+ per 1,000 watt HPS. Who is currently running 2lbs or more per 1,000 watt?

If you're doing that, mind filling this out? I
Strain:
Growing Medium:
Size of Container (if applicable):
Primary Line of Nutrients:
Plants Per Light:
Technique (ie scrog, lst, etc):
Notes:

Here's mine
Strain: Gorilla Glue #4, Clementine, Tesla OG, Grape Kush (not sure of lineage, probably Afghani and Lavender)
Growing Medium: Coco
Size of Container (if applicable): 5 gallon
Primary Line of Nutrients: General Hydroponics
Plants Per Light: 4
Technique (ie scrog, lst, etc): topping, trellises used to create even canopy
Notes: I just started working at this facility and have been given authority to change this setup around. I'm downgrading it to 3 gallon pots and will start feeding with an automated drip with a dry period every 1.5 weeks. There is a CO2 setup, but I've not had time to familiarize myself with that yet. The room is temperature and humidity controlled as well (75 degrees and 55%). I know some of you hate flushing, but I flush. Dry in a humidity controlled room at 65% and cured after.

I talked to a guy who was an experienced grower. He said he got 2 lb per 1000 watt light using digital ballast and a parabolic/umbreallla reflector with the bulb pointing down vertically not horitzontally. Why? Those reflectors have a really wide area of light like 5x5 or even 5.5x5.5. The bulb pointing down, like they do on the newer LECs, helps keep things cooler.

He also said SCROG with lots of training.. I think he grew in 50/50 sunshine / perlite

Strain: Superman OG
Growing Medium: Coco/ 5% perlite
Size of Container (if applicable): 1 gallon
Primary Line of Nutrients: Botanicare CNS17
Plants Per Light: 16
Technique (ie scrog, lst, etc): 3 week veg, top to make six colas.
Notes: I yield 2 lbs per grow in my room with my 1000w. I don't use CO2 and I handwater. My friend who uses a 1000w uses CO2 and has his plants on automatic multiple waterings per day and gets just under 3 lbs with the same plant numbers and veg time as me.

My first grow was close to 25 ounces under 1000w
4x4 tent
SuperSoil
4, 7G pots and 1, 5G pot
Vegged for 4 weeks under MH
Topped a few times and fimmed once
9#'Hammer
Jillybean
Jack The Ripper
Tangie

It wonders me if I got lucky or not. Perhaps if I were more experienced I could have come closer to 2#.

how tall do those plants get at the time you put them in to flower?
I'm currently running
Growing Medium: Pro-mix Bx
Size of Container (if applicable): 3galloon
Primary Line of Nutrients: Sensi Grow A +B, bud factor x, overdrive, big bud
Plants Per Light:between 10-15
Technique (ie scrog, lst, etc): didnt do anything to my main two grow rooms, currently topped my newer plants which are Blue Glue
Notes:
I'm still a beginner and i've currently been about 230g per 1000w.. the first couple times i was scared of the whole flush thing so i would just start watering it in the 4th week of flower for the rest of the time until harvest, i feel like this is what caused me to get such low grams per watt.
changed up the way i do things now i make sure to water my plants 3litres per 3galloon pot, and not flush until the very last week, but i might not even flush it at all. also i've noticed my rooms Hermied in the 5th week because i would leave my tents open and i had a tiny little light and a bit of a light leak from the window.. so i fixed all that in these two rooms I'm running my flowers in
