im new to hydro and need a foot up!!

[ventre]

Hi, i want to buy a 16 pot hydro kit each pot being 11litres, to grow 16 bigbud x white widow,on the seed packet it says the yield will be 300-600grams per plant but having spoken to a guy in the local hydro store he thinks its going to be drastically less,more within the region of 90g per plant when dried.can somebody please gimme some idea of what the yield will be and how can i achieve the 300-600g??all i can think is that this might be outdoors??

what is your light??? depends on how you grow them
how long and wide is the hydro unit? if it is 4'x4' them a 1000 watt HPS will help maybe 2. or alot of CFL's
I have got right at a Pound from one plant.

Those are big plants..... Someone correct me....But packing 16 plants together will form a canopy therfoer you should be thinking in the realm of yeld per metre squared.....If u had an outdoor grow in a hot climate ,the plants could grow to max weight per plantand then maybe the fat yeilds on the packet are possible.....


Incidently,,,, my detergent also claims to keep my whites as clean and fresh as the day I bought them, and bring out the true texture of my more delicate fabrics.!

There right you will harvest according to your light, nutes, add ons and such. It is different each time for every one except the most advanced growers. I have room for 12 . 6 at a time. 1000 HPS and I hope to get 6 to 12 oz's a month SOG, small. Short and fat is what you want or scrog. Light cannot get through a canopy, Anything over a foot is wasted.

the light is a 600w hps and the hydro kit is 4'x4' but i havnt bought the hydro kit yet,im weighing up the options first.I basically want to grow about 50oz of shit in about 4 - 5 months,is this at all possible??im willing to buy whatever to do it and i have a big room too.oh yea and what are nutes??? :thumbsup:

[friendowl]

50ozs in 5 months and you dont know what nutes are.i was once in your shoes.electricity isnt cheap.hope all goes well keep on fucking up cuz thats how you learn best

Nutrients, you will need lots more lights. 16 plants and time for 2 grows. Yes you could get 2oz's per plant 2 grows that's 64 oz's in 5 months if everything goes right. I would add another light, a 600 with yours or a 100 and yours more better. You will also need great luck or some good help and info. Praying wouldn't hurt.
