I was able to make 16lbs under 7200watt (6x Gavita 1150W) in coco using Autopots. That was 2,1oz/plant. I was also able to reach 3,8oz/plant - but that was just some of them - the strongest ones. So let's say I would let them all a week more on veg and train them all like I did with the strongest ones (6 colas per plant). Maybe using a hydroponics it could be even more.

I think it is doable, but at what cost? He maybe veged them for at least a month and a half - that is a lot of power and probably less profitable overall.

weediscool, you say it like its so easy, lets see you do it.

2 1/2lb per 1k lighting is a expert grower, that means he has everything right and he knows exactly what, when and how much to feed them. Basicly that is what you call the perfect grow. I get a average of 1.5lb per 1k lighting and i had a few times almost reached the 2lb mark per light, and im still working myself to achieve the 2 1/2 per light because my friend which taught me a few things does this.

i talked to the owner of a hydro shop near my house he said he used to grow n when he did he would get 2 1/2 pounds from 5 plants under a 1000 w...is that normal my first grow i got 4 oz from two plants n thought that was pretty good?
I didn't read the whole thread, but how much you get is depending on lots of things.
First of all the strain.
Then, if you grow huge plants for a long time, then 2.5 pounds under 1000 Watt is not much. You can do better.
Especially if you have a large room and use reflecting material on the walls, directly on the edge of the plants.

1 to 1.1 grams per 1 Watt HPS is fairly normal if you grow in a growing tent and use 'normal' growing times.
Maybe not when you just start, but after some grows it must be possible.

My best has been 1 1/2 lbs from 5 plants with 2 600 watters. I grew white rhino. Understand i had been doing this for awhile and each grow i charted it and changed something. The best thing i did was keep my nutes at 1200 or less the whole grow. of course the usual training and lollipopping. I dont know about that much from 5 but I'm looking at 2 lbs or more from 8 white widows. This is in hydro with 4 weeks of veg. in dwc.
