Talking about your plants I didn't watch the video.
How Many Plants Can One 1,000 Watt HID Light Handle?

5 of them are feminized, the other 35 or so are not, i thought i found 2 hermies so far but they were the really small plants that hadnt started to flower just yet, so no worries there. but now that i think about it i think i may have made a mistake hehe. just had a couple hermies last round and dont want to take any chances what-so-ever this time round ya know. thanks for the compliments man makes me feel good, its hard keeping up on a harden that big all by yourself ya know, thanks bro have a sweet fun day.
from this point on im never going to be using fem seeds again, yes they are nice but i dont want my plants to be fucked with genetically at that level. i hear its much easier to get a hermy from a feminized plant too.

The basic rule as I understand it is 50 watts per plant/5k lumens per plant. 20 plants under a 1000watt hid...50 watts per plant, 5k lumens per plant, perfect. You can go vertical, use light movers etc (or both!) and go 40+ plants but I wouldn't fuck with something like that unless you already got the more straightforward shit people are doing, down pat. If you are still mastering the variables involved in "the basic stationary, horizontal light" grow and you try some experimentation and it goes to shit, you won't know if it was one of the basic variables that went wrong or if it was something about the experimental method its self. Good luck!
ps. assuming your 1000watter is hps why don't you use an mh conversion bulb for veg??

I think the most important thing to get down is cloning, after that setting up a vertical or flat grow is not about complexity any more, it's all in the web! so it's more about the willingness to work and maintain the systems. If you can fit 40 plants under a single bulb in a way then don't mess with each other you're golden. You'll have way more budsites in less time which of course it translates into more yield. 100% positive
I'd say 3000 grams give or take is the max you could get with Heaths system built slightly bigger using one 1000 watt light and co2 if you are dialed in right, I can tell you from experience, I have one grow with this set up and got 2500 grams and I'm sure once I really dial it in I could prob. max out at around 3 grams per watt but over 4 is impossible I don't care if you work for nasa and use radioactive fertilizer lol 4000 plus grams is not possible with one 1000 watt light...if you claim you can get 4 grams plus per watt nasa has a job opening for you lmfao prove it and I'll have sex with farm animals, I have done EVERYTHING $$$ you could possibly do to increase yeild and I think around 3 is it period short of dna manipulation.

Heath's got 2.6 GPW! reaching 3 would be a colossal task IMHO
