What's the most you guys have gotten from a 600w hps? Is 2 pounds impossible with a 600w hps and if its possible what methods would you use to achieve this?

For most growers, 2lbs with a 600hps would be possible only in their dreams.... For the rest of the growers, next to impossible... You could veg in scrog screen for three months, then flower.... I still doubt you could get that large of a yield.. We're talking about prime buds... The solution for larger yields is better light.... I traded my 2 600w lights in for 2 ss315 watt lec mh... not really traded, i had to pay for them... 2 plants, 2 waterfarms, 2 315 watt lights, 26 oz... I do think 2 lbs with 630 watts is possible... I only missed it by 6 oz.

maybe if you were using 4 to 10 600w hps`s

doing loads of clones and had a huge area and everything dialed in

either a vert grow or just an army of clones and the lights in parabolic reflectors, like everything just running perfect

that`s your best shot

then you could average over 1lb per light maybe even start attacking 2

but a one light grow ? Nah you get too much wasted light and wasted plant to do it well

I mean I know people that use 3 to 4 600`s in a 1.2m x 1.2m tent with 10 to 16 plants

They can get over 1kg

Vert with the plants around the lamp or a parabolic and loads of clones is your best bet

still, running a 600 aint so expensive that I`ve ever hoped for more that 400 to 800g from one over 3 to 4 months, just hate it when the lamps and or ballasts start blowing that can get expensive, lol

I have never used 600w's but with 5 1000w's ive gotten 1.6lbs per light, and know its possible to do about twice that

300 gram is easy. 450 gram is good. 600 gram is great. From one 600 watt light that is. To achieve 21 ounce from a normal 600 watt light you would probably need your environment basically perfect at all times. To be using a plant training method such as SCROG and growing a decent strain. I would imagine there are cases where people have fluke 1 gram per watt, but to do it all the time i would say requires a certain amount of experience or help from experience.

This is an old thread and that's a picture of some stretched plants not plants with 9lb.
