What should my goal be for yield with my set up?

600 Metal Halide for Veg./ 600 HPS for flower
4 1/2 x 4 1/2 ft. Tent
6" vortex Fan
80F 30% Day
60F 50% Night
2 gallon pots - 25 Plants (5 rows of 5)
MyGreenPlanet nutrients.
Strain - VISC Titanium

I have plenty of air flow and good water. Any guesses? What should my goal be? I flower around 12-18" to keep them small because there are so many but I think that is even too big I had lots of lower branches with no bud. I might flower at 6-12" this round.

Sorry but is not about the lights or space, or soil or your rh or temps, its about giving the plant the best quality of life while she's with u and for sure she will reward u with the best harvest u ever had!!! Anyway to answer the question. ABOUT A POUND DRY FROM EACH PLANT!!! GOOD LUCK!!

More plants does not mean more yield. Why so many plants? Or are these auto- if they are autos disregard my thoughts.

Why not use 6 plants and top them- LST them to make a canopy of growing tops to cover the entire area?

I'd rather tend and care for 6 plants in larger pots than 25 smaller pots.

i always do 16 or more under my 600. clones and seedlings. 2 or 3 gallon pots/bags. usually 1 month or 2 of veg depending on how soon i can clear out the flower room.

my last 3 grows i grew out 16 and 18 plants. i got 15 OZ, 16 OZ and 17 OZ dry weight. if i went to 3 gall pots and 18 plants i could pull more depending on which genetic i'm growing but 16 OZ 3 or 4 times a year is more than enough for me.

i'm really lazy and don't use CO2 or any bells and whistles. just great genetics, great ferts and light.

Look up grow journals here. I think there is a who is hitting 2 pounds thread around.

If you sog a tent with the right plant and enough of them and nothing fucks up you will get 1 to 2 pounds. And have perfect temp and RH control and can handle the power of the light and ventilate it etc etc.

Man I can't imagine how packed that tent would be lol

Sick yield for that space.

We're only allowed 4 plants, so no sogs in my future.

i got close to a pound with 3 plants in a 4 x 4 using a 315 CMH light. 1 white widow and 2 sour kush. Both are heavy yielders. If i had a bit more light coverage it would have topped 1 pound.

4 or 5 week veg after they were seedlings.

I grow to the 4 plant limit for a while. Practice makes it better..

nice, if i had my time back i would have went cmh

i chose the cheaper HID route and went with 600w mh/hps

I am already looking to upgrade to cmh, led or cobs in the near future.

Run HID a while. they can produce a pound and you already have it. When you get the hang of that jump into an new tech led or CMH but the 600 is pretty decent for a 4 x 4.

It costs a bit more for hydro but i ran 600 watts of everything and it wasnt so bad

A 315 and a 200 watt LED and a 135 watt QB =640 at the wall watts.

So let it rip. They produce good bud,
