damn brother really sweet plants.. what does co2 really do? if I'm in tents and can cool it and exhausting air from outside in and out.. is co2 necessary? what kind of plant training you do to these beasts?
just set me up for success. I'll figure it out.. so say someone with no co2, wouldn't yield what you're yielding?

If you want to do perpetual with the space you're better off running
1 2x4 with t5s for clones/ seedlings
2 4x4s for veg with a 400 watt mh or led veg light
And 1 4x8 for flower and just have 2x 8 cycling plants or 8x 4 cycling plants.
Would give you 2 week or 4 week veg.

shit will you just help a brotha out.. figure you running the same.. why not help another get on your level. Like this is where I wanna start and I just need my light and I plan on running 1800 watts in each.. maybe 1800 in veg tent and 2k in flower.. I need help cooling the room.. because I'm sure that it's gonna be a problem.
just curious how you plant train? how you feed them? those are huge plants for only a 4-5 week veg..

2 4x8s with 3 600 each is overkill. 600 a are more efficient than thousand Watters so I'd go with that. 2 600s would be plenty of light, 100 watts per plant is a good rule of thumb. Also keep on mind that if you want to run thousands in a four you will have a hell of a time fighting heat.
this is my problem.. I want people with experience running my setup.. half say it's overkill half say it would be cool cause 6s are better than 1ks. and easier to cool. I know a guy qho runs 2k but we just chop it up about it.. and he does pretty good.
It's 32sf and it only comes out to 56 watts per square foot. people aim higher.. with 8 plants it's ~200 watts per plant..

I balanced the heat with light and ran 6/4/6 in a 4x8 8 plants in 5gal hempy with very good results it was hot but still right around 1gpw no co2. I like my new light much better!
so around 3ps you pulled? no way? how long was your veg..?

Normal veg time 3 weeks. Yes way 3+ been getting around 1gpw for years with a variety of strains, china digitals and junk bulbs. The 400w is in the og putting down around the same amount of light as the 600w's in the blockbusters.
Check my signature for my current grow, im aiming for 2gpw with my new light If i dont hit it on this grow i will on the next one.
