Call me a dick BUT it seems like yer only gonna get busted, robbed or start a fire with this project. Spend some more time learning and practicing on the bunny slope before you try the X- Games ramp.
Why do you need so much herb at one time?

dude read the entire thread before you start posting nonsense, this is a legal grow, that is in a secure environment.
 
chiming in on this way late and from the few that i have read im messing up bad doing 30 under 2k hps, is this wasting my time with more work than yield on maintaining 30 should i drop numbers any help would be cool?

if you read the thread you would see that it depends on the size of your plants. how tall are your plantsby the end of flower? do you lst, top, fim, supercrop? basically train them to be bushy?
 
Read the most of the thread but found lots of B/s on realistic light setups? i finish @ 3.5-4 ft in 3gal bags and have been pulling a steady lb + per light just wondering if might possible get a little better yield with say 20-25 which would give me better light penetration

you might? really depends on your setup. don't know how you are fitting 15 4' plants under a 1000w. they gotta be super crowded or outside of the lights actual optimal footprint. i'd scle it back to 18 (9 per light in 3x3 squares) and concentrate on increasing the yield of each. you should easily be able to pull 1.5lbs per light with 9 plants at those heights. get the growing dialed in and you won't need so many plants, nutes, etc...
 
blazd i would throw some more lights under there like another 1000w-2000w if you cant get anymore lights then just leave it bud why waste plants, or if you want take a few good ones out and have those as your mother plants and take a shit load of clones so you can maybe have a harvest cycle say every 6wks you harvest, either one sounds good to me good luck. bud
 
Hate to burst ur bubble but u aint comin close to 15lb off 5k of lite and thats the facts,especially since u sound like a novice grower.If u want a half lb per, grow outdoor.Then ur goal will be reasonable.
 
Yup what Nuglets said, hey Nuglets whats a realistic number will i get from this grow i got 36 plants now picked up super silver haze & purple kush yesterday lol. What do u think i can pull if i let them get to 3ft tall lst ,top, lightly super crop, man i got a 3ft tall critical mass that is a beast she's got I'm gonna say like 24 tops on her, bush'd out to the max i tell ya. The rest should be the same size there getting there too. So back to the topic, what u think 36plants 3ft tall before i put them in flower so they will most likely double some of the sativas will triple most likely lol, same as the critical mass all close to 20-24 tops under 5600w 4x1000w hps 1x1000w m/h 1x600w m/h trying to do dual spectrum, what i noticed in my last grows this technique works.

@rootsorganic this is not my first rodeo i know a lot about growing so this isn't hard to do just gotta have the right mind set, now the 15lbs deal who the hell knows what ill get but im sure i'll come close too it if i try maybe not 15lbs but well just have to see...

I have 6k for 30-35. I have them dimmed to 750 so I don't have to air cool the hoods. I have learned that I have to be sealed up tight. Serious Issues with powdery mildew and hermies last 2 cycles. If you are new at this, like I am, start with 12. Much easier to maintain and the attention you will give them will be rewarding when growing small numbers. I added a dual zone split ac and a co2 generator this time around. Everything seems good 28 days in flower.

Your Bloom looks like mine. I have the same Generator too. I have 4 plants per light fed by 600W hps on a light track (X8) so total is 32 plants under 4,800 Watts HPS. Looks good Bro', I like it. Thanks for the post...
