Ok I am doing a little planning here.I have grown indoors years ago with a 1000 watt hps for flowering and a 400 watt MH for vegetation.I really didnt do any planning before just got some lights and clones and through it all together.It worked out pretty well.But now i want to plan it out a little better.I have a closet thats 6x4 and fifteen feet high.I assume I will make it two levels one for vegetation and one for flowering .And just want some advice on what setup to use for the biggest yield??ThANKS

A light mover for your 1000watt. That way you can keep the light closer and cover that 6 foot area. A simple NFT system may be the way to go in a multi level grow op.

how many plants would you put under a 1000 wtt hps for flowering where you would get the best yeilds.Thanks

In Hydroponic SOG system you can easly fit 40 plants with a single 1000w HPS and a light mover.

Yes but wouldnt they need to be clones?

Yes for SOG you don't want to sex them. You want to use only clones so you know what you have. You only veg them for about 3 weeks then full flower to finish. For those who have the parts kick in some CO², proper temperature control and good lighting and you will have a big yield in 40 small plants.

You should end up with around 5 pounds in about 85 day's or so.

GK has a DVD on the subject infact that is worth watching.
