PLEASE READ!!!!!!

I'm looking into starting my first SOG. My goal here is to make my way up to a perpetual SOG consisting of (4) 4'x4' tables each containing 32 plants of an 8 week strain of my choosing. Each table with its own drain to waste drip system (for use in my amended coco) Each table with its own 600w HID. I realize that puts my watts per ft2 at about 37.5 per table. A little low yes. But I will also be supplementing with CO2 to ideally make up for that slight disadvantage. However for now I will be starting with a 7'x7' table same set up with (2) 1000w HIDs just to get my feet wet and familiarize myself with the SOG method. I hope to place 100 clones on this table to give each cola a 6"x6" space for growth. My question for anyone out there who can answer... Under these circumstances is it realistic to expect at least 14g per plant or 1.43g per watt???
Cheers!

I would cry if per plant I only got 14gs...a straight 12/12 grow has always yielded me at least an oz

Agreed but like I said I have never tried this method before I've always had at least 2 weeks veg time so I'm just hoping that without it I can get a good yield. But don't you think that 100 plants yielding an oz a piece is a bit unrealistic too? 100zips in 8 weeks seems a little far fetched

I don't know, 4-5 per sqft works good for me and my ladies, i run heavy sativas and get 2ozs per plant. I have a 600watt I fit up to 12 in there and I run the light constantly, over 2 different flower cabs. Altogether I get 1.85 gpw or so

If you want 14g per watt then you will need to take 6 to 8" cuttings and once they root go straight to 12/12. You will also need several moms to take cuttings from.

Wait you mean 14g per plant right? Yeah I know that was going to be a big part of it... A big nursery. So working with 70 clones at a time how many mother plants would be necessary to crank that out every two weeks?

Typo my bad. I meant 14 g per plant. Roughly thinking I used 3 Pineapple Express moms in dwc to produce 120 cuttings. The thing is I had to wait for my cuttings to at least get 6" or it was a waste of time. I went from rooted clones in straight to 12/12. I'm guessing you will need at least 6-10 moms for your set up but if you grow moms in dwc them bitches can grow crazy over months so over time you may have to start new moms unless you control your moms say bonsai style or lst them.

Damn thats less mothers then I expected though so off of the mothers you clones from did they ever recover after the cuttings were taken??

try and alternate cuttings from your moms. I learned the hard way and I butchered them like there was no tomorrow.
