Hello I was wondering if there is possibility to get 2 pound of weed using only single 600w with light mover.

That would be a Nope. I got 600's and I've yet to get better than 1 to 1 1/2 oz. per plant.20 plants would get you over the LB mark.But there are so many issues that can make or break you during a grow.cO2 being one. You do a Big Bud grow and use co2 then maybe yes. Heat stress from the 600 will do damage as well. Ventilation is very important.Nute schedule and dose are other things.Soil or hydro. soil grows tend to be less in quantity than hydro.Hydro grows faster and seems to get to the finish line first.

I agree. Seems like asking for too much.

if you want 2 pounds, your gonna eed to do 2 or more grows i think.

if you can grow 8 plants and get a little over an oz of each, that alone is commendable

I'm sorry but 8 oz under 600w is not very commendable. That's a super average yield for that amount of light.

1. 600 watt light on a light mover.

2. Veg plants, enough to insure 20 female plants.

3. Ideal growing conditions and nutes.

4. Separate dark room.

5. 20 female plants. Flowering cycle. Start 10 plants under the light, the other 10 plants are in the dark room.

6. Rotate every 12 hours, half the plants; from the dark room, to the light room, for the next 60+ days until harvest.

7. 1.6 oz per plant = 32 oz.

I did that once with a 400 watt light and 13 female plants. It's a lot of work, but makes a lot of buds....:thumbsup:

anything is possible ..if you work at it...:thumbsup:...13 plants made 26 quart jars of dried bud. I don't know what that weighs....not into weight, but...that much bud supplied me for 2 years.

I got some of those jars to tide me over this and the next winter,too. Your a country boy. I can tell! You are so right to say anything is possible!! Some folk's don't work hard enough to appreciate what they have.I do!! I can tell you do,too!

That is a pretty good Idea, as long as you could move the light from one side of the box to the other and seal out the light. maybe just dole out the 250 bux for another 600w, depending on whats cheaper or more worth your time though.

It's the procedure that gets more bud.You could have a 250 watter and do as opie said,you will gain either way you go.Your growing twice what the light can grow.You got 2 crops under 1 light. It'll work! You have to bust your ass,though.

pimp, your my idol!

if you had some DIY spirit, you could probably automate it with some complex winch and curtain setup.......

but even so, for a 600w, you may be shooting a LITTLE high

Many people do that amount, especially the people who sog. Sometimes less without giving it a thought. It depends a lot on how long you veg, and how much you stretch your light. I'm pretty sure I could do 2 lb under 600W. It would be a longer than normal veg period and a stadium screen grow, with the plants near the outside not getting enough light.

Anyone up for the 2 lb. challenge?

Opie,
It's gonna take some months. But,I think I can get the 2 pound mark with 2 of these 600's.Can I cheat and use a cO2 generator?hehe.No mover will be used.I can only put 1 light on the one I have.It's a hydrofarm.I think I'll be fine with the heat. Got a 465 on them and a 265, venting the room.Jan.1st,I'm gonna take 25 cuttings. Veg them for 4 or 5 weeks. Then they are off to flowering. I'll even keep a log of this,from the time I take the cuttings until,finished.

2 600's ?? 2 pounds with 2 600's is not unreasonable. I thought this was about doing 2lbs with 1 600watt.

2 Lbs. from 1 - 600w light.

Hmmmmm. well this is going to be my attempt at it:)

I currently have 36 cloans rooted and in soil for my 3rd grow. They are currently in my grow log "2nd grow from cloans and THCB seeds"

I am currently thinking 8 rubbermaid toats with 5 to 6 plants per container in a 4'x4' space.

I know! I just like a sure thing..But then again? Nothing is a sure thing!

I thought I was getting a low yield with 10 oz from one plant under 600W. However I can't get it across the grow on the size of NFT tank I have. With four in it I have had a 1 x 10 oz plant, 1 x 4 oz plant & 2 x 1 oz plants. Which made my last grow a total of 16oz. First time round I only had the three plants & the largest was 7 oz, but the ratios were much the same to make a total of 11 oz from the 3 plants. I think more comes into it such as the strain, space available & the amount of vegging time.

Opie,
Can I cheat and use a cO2 generator?hehe.

I don't remember seeing anything in the rules about CO2, so if they don't specifically prohibit it, it's fair game. I can't believe I left that out of the stuff I would do. Maybe even a little UV light at some point too.
