32 Plants in soil, 3 Gal buckets, 1000w on light mover...too many plants?

I have a 1000w on a 6 ft light mover with a four foot parabolic hood (vertical hanging bulb). I am growing in soil with 3 gal buckets. My quantity per plant seems to be hurting and some of my plants are growing very small buds. I am growing Recon, Deathstar, Black Domina, and Hindu Skunk Blueberry. I recently switched to the parabolic hood from a large box reflector that hung the bulb horizontally. My total area is about 4 x 6. Could the hood be making a difference, or do I have too many plants in that area? Plants were only in veg from clone for about a week before flower, I suppose I should also veg them out a couple more weeks as well? Any input is appreciated. How many plants should I have, and which hood should I use?

Sorry I can't help but I'm going to be doing something similar myself and curious to see how it works out for you.

I can however say I think it's fine to stick clones(rooted clones) directly into flower.

Pics below the plant in middle(Pic to left) is the clone you see to the right(right side picture) grew roots in 6 days and 5 days later stuck into flowering look how close in size it is. It did only grow bud up the main stalk though.

The clone in the middle was cut from plant on the left to it.

Way too many plants. 6-9 depending on style of growing.

Are you comparing the buds to anything specific? Ie have you grown this strain in this setup before? If not maybe it's a late packer.

The new reflector you bought, is it adjustable? If so try to adjust it so the tips of the edging plants are covered. Are your walls reflective?

Even without the light mover you are at over 6,000 lumens a sq ft which is plenty. How far away is the bulb?

Shouldn't have any problem growing that many plants in that type of sapce like he said you are at 6,000 lumens

If I "had" something almost identical right now, I would tell you that I "have" yielded 3oz per plant with that same setup (minus the parabolic hood). I would also go back to the box hood. With a 6 foot track in that small space you should have no problems. I thought I heard somewhere that the parabolic hoods are the least effective?!?
