I am planning on growing 4 trays of 25 per tray. I will be using a 1000w per tray. I will be using super soil to minimize mistakes as far as nutes. I am wanting to get 2lbs per tray in 60 days from seed. Is this a possible situation? I am pretty sure i can do this. I have grow before and did pretty good. Is there a photo that would do as well? I have tried so many different ones. All help welcomed. :leaf:

I had something smartassish typed up but deleted it lol, i run 8000 watts with 7 gal pots and i get 8lbs, i also veg for 3 weeks. My crop is 9 weeks, 10 if you want to count clones rooting. If you pull 2lbs a light, i will hire you 6 figures a year.

In perfect conditions im sure it could be done.. Thats less than 1g/watt.. So it wouldn't be impossible by any means..

If you are growing for cash Id back away from the autos. Growing in soil is fine but they take a little longer to get going and would benefit from some veg time.If you want the kinda numbers you are talking about,coco or rockwool might be better.

2 lbs a light is something to strive for,but people that get that know exactly which strains they can do it with and what methods to use. In other words,if ya gotta ask..its probably not gonna happen right away :)

For cash cropping go with a fast flowering indica (photoperiod, not auto!), cram as many as possible under your light, Sea of Green style, and flower 12/12 from seed, or a week after germination. For a slightly higher yield, flower three days after topping above the first or second true node.

yeah thats what i thought. what indica would you use? I thought of trainwreck or AK47. I want a quick strain and have buddies who grow those and do very well. I also thought of agent orange.

Agent Orange is supposed to be a good yielder, and the finished product is supposed to be pretty good...I'd go with that. You should research beforehand if it likes to be topped.

AK-47 I believe is more Sativa dominate. I supercrop my AK which keeps the height in check but you can find a faster finishing Indica that will stay shorter naturally, maybe Agent Orange?

i can pull 2 elbows per 1K light, i will start right now for you at 125,000 per year, you send the plane ticket im on my way.


i would need a signed contract :lol: guarenteed money for guarenteed 2lbs per 1k

(8k watts would be 16 lbs per harvest, 3 to 4 times a year. or so.)
