Looking to Increase Yield!

Hey guys!

Here are my two biggest and best ladies- vegetated 3 months and just switched to flower. They’re soil grown (MiracleGro’s Organic Potting Soil to be exact) along with General Hydroponics Flora Micro Series nutes

That said, I’m really hoping to pull a pound or more from each of these plants. I’ve topped and supercropped them massively, and just finished lollipopping. I’m also using (4) 1000w ViparSpectra Dimmable LED’s:

Shop ViparSpectra Dimmable Series VA1000 at ViparSpectra official online store. Dimmable full spectrum LED grow light. High speed fans. Efficient cooling system. Free shipping. 2-year local warranty and awesome customer support.

I’m wondering if any of you have any other tips or tricks I could use to increase yield. I’ve been really interested in using CO2, but would like to know your thoughts on that first. Any positive experiences with It?

Any and all responses are appreciated! This is my first grow, and I just can’t wait for the outcome!

Those lights simply do not put out enough watts to use Co2, according to my lighting database each one only puts out 186 true watts, 25 watts for the fans, and 15% driver inefficient loss. Good luck!

Where are you getting your math?

would you recommend I add more light? I have 60 more of these models.

I just confirmed with the manufacturer light actually puts out 600 true watts

If you want to be argumentative that's fine but you are wrong.... even your link states what I said....



Efficient Cooling System - ViparSpectra Dimmable 1000W LED grow light uses high speed cooling fans and built-in aluminum heat sinks, which constitutes a powerful cooling system great for heat dissipation while ensuring the long lifespan of the light. This light can replace a 400W HPS/MH lamp while consuming only 230W.

Dude, I’m not trying to be argumentative. I was just wondering how you came up with that number so I can use it in future investments.

also, I asked if you’d recommend I add another light. I’m really just wondering what YOU think I could do to get more yield. If I came off disrespectful, I apologize.

It gives actual power draw in the specs for the light on their website.
I'm not an expert and have no actual info on what to do better for higher yields sorry. Just wanted to let you know where the actual draw was. Some of that is for fans and the driver of course
