Im not sure if i qualify, but i receintly switched to two 150w HPS (300w) from two 95 watt T5s with 180 watts of side CFLs. My plants were so angry with that set up and my buds were small and not very tight.

They now love the HPS. I have about 9 plants under them and from the size and the amount of budsites, im looking at 6 oz eazy.

They were FIMed a couple of times during veg (5 weeks total with 175w CFLs) and topped a week before flowering. I let them start to flower and right before the hairs start to poke out-usually within a week of flowering, i FIM a few buds and LST the plants as needed. I also use plastic shoeboxes i got from the dollar store with 2 plants per container being grown with mainly organic compost from my yard. This lets me move them around so they all get the same amount of light from all angles.

I like this set up alot, and i think im gonna add one more 250w HPS. I have about 3+feet between the tops of the lights and the ceiling so heat isnt much of an issue.

Could someone see my grow and guess on the yield? I'm really curious now hehe

I have one fairly large Afghan Kush going (LST) along with a 12/12 from seed that is flowering away.

Ounce abbreviated is OZ. which became a Z which became a ZIPPER which became a ZIP. Similar with a 1/4 OZ. became a QUARTER and then Q and then a Quaker and then a Quake.

If you top and LST I hear of people getting 4 Zs or more under a 250 watter. I did the 2 week harvest for a cycle and with 4 plants I get about a Z every 2 weeks. It keeps me smoking all day every day but I do not share with anyone except the wife occasionally.

WTF HAHAHAHA!!!! Its called a zip because a ounce can fit in a zip lock bag perfectly!!

You are wrong and make no sense. You can fit a gram in a ziplock bag perfectly too. lol

From what Ive read the 600watts are just so much more efficient if you look at the lumens per watt ect. And they are the smallest size you can get great penetration of the light into the lower canapy.
