Hello everyone! I'm about to start a grow with SS Chronic (A pretty good pheno as far as yield and quality goes) and I'm looking to pull at least 3 pounds. I was hoping some of you more experienced growers could give me some tips on how to do this. I have been using 5 gallon pots filled with 2/3 FFOF and 1/3 perlite but am starting to wonder if that is sufficient enough size wise, would switching to 7 gallons be a waste? I can veg no longer than 4.5 weeks and I am limited to 11 plants. In the past I have used Blue Mountain Organics and was VERY pleased with the quality but not the quantity. I had some very large nugs but they were fairly airy and not nearly as dense as I would have hoped. Would switching to the full line of Fox Farms nutrients result in a higher yield? I was planning on topping once, possibly twice. I also have NOT lollipopped in the past so maybe that would add to my yield? I am running 4x 600w lights in a vertical setup (bare bulb) and was curious on how to best position the light (how close and how high up in relation to the plants).
So basically, would upgrading to 7 gallon pots, lollipopping, and switching to Fox Farm nutrients with a 4.5 week veg give me a good shot at hitting 3 pounds? Any advice is very welcome, thank you
Below is a diagram of how my setup is.

X = 600w Light
O = Plant
. = nothing lol, I couldn't get the spaces to stick for some reason
