1000 watts = 2 lbs

Wow must've had that dialed in perfectly. Plants that big must've had huge roots I surprised you could get a gallon of fluid in the rez.
2.5 gallons of nutes in the rez. The roots have entirely filled the bucket and are the same size and shape as the bucket.

Lol huge colas at 1.5 weeks ...I must see pics
They arent filled in but they have extended 10" and the stems are very thick. I can tell by experience they will be fat. Very large now for only 1.5 weeks. Since I flipped to 12/12 the plant has stretched 16"!

2lbs per plant in a 4x4 with a 1000w?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaha
Just because you cant do it please dont assume others cant. Look at John Berfelo's video 22+lbs out of 8 1000w lights. They got 2.75lbs per light. If you grow a strain that can produce 2lb per plant you can get 2lb per plant if trained correctly and climate is optimal.

Sweet and yea I'm aware I'm losing light I veggeg to long for my box and wanted to give it a go ...harvest time I'm investing in a 4x8 tent and a portable ac I'll be happy with 23oz if I can't hit that this run...do u thing adding a 600w at week 5 will help me get closer to that goal

Watts determines yield, PERIOD! That said some other factors cannot be ignored such as strain. You can have 10,000w and if your strain is a 250-300g per m2 thats all your going to get. If you are growing strains that add up to your goal theres no reason you cant hit it. That much light is overkill but however probably necess

Fuck wrong button! Probably necessary concidering the amount of light your losing. I cannot say yes or no about hitting your goal but if all your factors line up theres no reason you shouldnt hit your mark. Some people will argue what im about to say and thats ok because I know what I know and that is no other method of growing can compare to DWC. This I one reason im able to get the speed of growth I do and the mass, oil production, turpenes, resin, and crystals. Soil growing just does not compare to hydro. Now soil grown indoors is better than outdoors buts thats a whole other thread. Whether you should add 600w more I cannot say because I dont know you temps, humidity or anything else. If you were in a tent or had mylar walls I would say no but like I said with the amount of loss you may need it. It sure wont hurt as long as your temps are under control and your not stressing your plants. I know someone that gets 7oz out of one plant and a 250w light.

Temps are 81f 60-70%rh light is 1000w Apollo with cooltube xxxl hood @14 inches I do have 3 side walls that reach close to the tops of canopy ..I'm running 4 diy co2 generators ... 2x 12inch isocillating fans one at top one blowing up from bottom to keep my co2 in the air not at the floor

I also have 180w of CFLs in the back corners to help darken up light spots plan on putting the 600w in the front and moving 2 plants direct under them moving the back wall plants up closer to the light and under the hood more and keeping the 600 close so it at least overlaps 2 feet of the 1000w footprint

who's the king a breeder?
Just a home grower. He has a relationship with Dutch Passion Seed Co but he's a home grower. Just knows what he's doing. He did rotate the plant 90 degrees twice a day. I rotate my plant 90 degrees every other day. Thats amazing for an auto. Dutch Passion Auto Mazar is the genetics.

Dunno why but i thought you meant 4 plants each 2lbs in a 4x4 tent with 1000w... for total 8lbs

So one plant...
But still... i have my doubts...
