Well i mean i have never had a issue with it not fonishing strong. Alot people i know use 4x4 trays with 1 ligh and they get nice yield. Some of my friends avg 1.6 to 1.9 per light. Also i dont want my roots to keep feeding because i let it dry out a little so that roots grow and find water. Thats why right now i flood once a day for about 10 to 15 min then it drains on itself.


Update as of now all plants are about 10 to 12 inches tall. I have one room where plants are like 10 inches. So far so good white hairs started coming out and in next few days ill be moving the lights up because its getting big.
Those are 4x6 tables, each under two SE 1000W HPS in hoods? Have you been running this approach for awhile now? What's your average yield per table?

Very clean, do you run perpetual or are all these rooms on the same schedule?

Nope. I am using 4x8s trays and 2 4x4 trays. This is my second run. Well i dont go by table i did it by light. It came out to around 1.8 per light. Some finished little bit higher. The downstairs will harvest first snd then upstairs. 1 week apart. Also i have not seen 4x6 trays at my stores only thing ive seen here is 3x6 4x4 and 4x8s

How many clones per table? Those are respectable numbers!

Can't wait to see some flowering going on dude, sounds like a lovely setup

Reminds me of ol' Heath Robinson's crazy grows
 
Perpetual SOG, lovely work. Is lollipop worth the effort? I've ran tables like that and 1.75-2 per lamp is a common average once you're dailed in with the right genetics (blah blah blah). I don't know if I'd want to do that maintenance work.

Beautiful bro!

Tried get close up but camera and hps mess it up
Those magnetic ballasts are costing you dearly. Those dark lines in your pics? They're telling you that 30% of the time, your lamps are DARK. It just happens so fast our eyes can't see it. Digital ballasts were a little better, low frequency square wave ballasts are even better and LED is best because they all run on DC, so no flickering at all.

So now every time you look at a pic with those dark lines, you know they're robbing you of light you're paying for.

If your running magnetic which it looks like u are due to the dark-time lines then he's right lol only happens with magnetics I run hps but all digital never a line
