I count 11 plants I would say that is way overkill I grow 30 plants under 1 1000w HPS and get an oz from each

well in How are you growing them? Are you trying a variation of the KBS system? From what aI can see in the picture you have the lights to high. Are you using air-cool tubs or hoods? Are you running a closed system with AC? Are you going to be adding Co2? What about humidity control? Air movement is a must, so what are you doing? It looks like you have plenty of room. If you are going to try KBS and grow trees then I need more details. A good KBS grow requires 5.5 sqft of space for every plant they get huge, but it takes lots of room to hold enough buds to make 1-3 pounds of dry buds per plant

Are you saying you get over 3 pounds of dry bud from one plant with one 600w HPS light?

Ah...ok I see. Yes light movers are great I use 3 of them myself. Still that's better then 6 ounces from each plant with just one light. Are you using environmental controls and co2 or not?

would an NFT setup of 4x3ft with 2x400HPS light give that yield?
the manufacturer of the system states that it can support up to 24 medium sized plants till harvesting.......what size is 'medium'?, i mean i.e. up to 3ft in height?
