Strain/phenotype dependent.
Some strains will yield 2lbs in a 4x4 with a 600 watt hps. Others, no matter how much light you give them just wont produce that much per sq ft.
I grow only from seed and pheno hunt to find the ones that not only yield well but produce the most potent terpiest flowers in the seed packs. I found that usually the phenos that stay short with the short internodal spacing usually yield less. The little bush plants that stay short and wide just dont yield as much as those that stretch a foot or two. The plants that put on the donkey dicks have to stretch that foot or two to be able to fit such humongous flowers. You can only fit so many colas in a 4x4 so they need to be thick, dense, and long to equal such weight.
Here's four THC Bomb clones. Thick little bushes with fat colas to be sure. But they lack length and are not super dense so the four plants in a 4x4 space only yielded 1.5 pounds and as you can see completely filled the space. I have those plants pretty much dialed in and there is really not much to do to make them yield more.
This one is called Made of Honor and stretches about 2.5 feet in early flower. Then she precedes to put on 2 foot colas dense as rocks and covered in trichomes. This pheno will yield 2.5 pounds in a 4x4 all day long for the right grower.
After saying all that, I will also say that I think you will need at least 600 watts of LED to produce said 2 lbs once you get he right strain and get it dialed in. I use Meijiu 650 A8 and F8 plus from Alibaba. Both great lights for a great price imo. (Thank you @bk78!) Good luck with the grow!

Hey man. Thank you! From you, I take that as a great compliment. Anybody can grow marijuana. BUT it takes great skill and artistry to produce high quality marijuana on a regular basis. We are not only skilled, we are artist and should be celebrated as such! A while back when I was thinking of upgrading to LED from HPS your thread and post greatly helped me decide. I remember we spoke and I expressed fears of flower density and yield suffering because of the change. Your advice actually tipped the scales and helped me pull the trigger on the Meijiu lights. Since, I have purchased three more! lol Got two 5x10 flower tents glowing producing 7-10 lbs every ten weeks. "MOOSE COCKS" lol Thank you for being here to help and being so....REAL. I appreciate you.
Thank you for the kind words! I work hard in the garden and the accolades are nice.

@bk78 real talk. I really appreciate the knowledge and pics (plus humor) he brings to the table here too. As far as quality goes. I have much respect for his grows. Clean stable and just properly done. Magazine photo looking buds lol. Any information he hands out. I never take for granted and always use it to my advantage. Much respect to both of you
Hope my flowers and garden improve to your guys standards as well. Happy growing!

Thanx man. Those lights are worth every penny as I said before, BUT I should mention that I finally did have a problem with Meijiu...
I already have four Meijius burning....(3 F8 plus and 1 A
Decided to buy two more to cover another 5x10 space.I placed the order in May and the sales lady talked me into sea freight this time. Saved like 300 but it could take up to 38 business days...(She says.)
Anyways... here it is mid September and still no lights.
I have messaged her regularly but as soon as there was a problem, she started acting like she didn't speak or understand English...lol
When I expressed my frustration, she said that my lights are stuck on a boat in a harbor in California waiting for space in a warehouse.
First she blamed customs, then she blamed UPS, then Covid, then she blamed....ME! lol She said I probably shouldn't have went with the sea freight during a pandemic...lol (She literally talked me into that shipping method!) She finally wrote and said its like a a traffic jam..no one can be blamed.
So I went to Alibaba and asked for a refund. They denied my request. Said because the lights are still in limbo they cant issue a refund. They said no refund because I didn't prove to them that Meijiu promised to have the lights to me in 38 business days. All I have is a message from their message center where she says that. I sent it to them. They promptly started acting like they didn't speak or understand English...lol
Now let me say this... I am a medical marijuana caregiver/grower. People are depending on me for their medicine. I planned ahead and upgraded the veg room for those lights. Then had plants ready for when they should have been here.
Because they are not here, I had to cull the plants. Simply no space.
I also took on another patient with the expectations that the lights would be up and producing by now. So the bottom line is I have lost thousands of dollars because of the "traffic jam". And people went without promised meds. They have offered no compensation of any kind as of yet. We will see.
After saying all that I am still not angry. They are good lights for a fair price. (If you can get em to ya.) Great lights, HORRIBLE customer service.
Just beware, shit could happen. If it does your basically S.O.L. Risky, and to be honest this little experience has scared me off... I wont be doing business with Meijiu or Alibaba any longer. But I am happy with what I got.
(Thinking of going with Fluence for my next lights.)

Agree. And a dialed in pheno with predictable yields… no guarantee even then but if you fill the horizontal space with tops, u have a chance…

There is currently a shortage of shipping containers. We are having issues sourcing materials at work as well. Gona be a long wait now things are stacking up fast. Definitely never choose freight shipping on anything they Bang your pkgs around move them a million times on a million conveyors pack them into small spaces etc. If you get a pkg lost or broken it's because of freight shipping.Thanx man.
