Would 5 1000watters covering 60 plants in a 10x10 area be a good setup. It will have 50 watts per sq ft. Assuming the outher aspects of the room are properly setup and my skills are up to par would 4-5lbs every 4 months be a realistic scenario. I will grow from seed and plan on going 12/12 2 months after they first sprout. I will use a strain like white widow. thanks for the input!
50 watts per square foot is plenty (although a little more is always nice :) ). If you're flowering plants from seed, with minor training, you could expect circa .5g per watt, so 5000*.5 = 2500g = 5+ lbs. The yadda yadda yadda part of your post (the part about assuming that everything else is properly setup) is really the key variable left in the equation.
That weight would also be per flowering period, so if you rotate in a new crop every flowering cycle (7-10 weeks), that could be 4-5lbs every 2-2.5 months!!!
This is all generalization you realize, as there are too many variables to really say, so...
Good luck chief!
5 1K watters, 60 plants.:stoned: YOU ARE MY HERO lol
are u gonna just run that off ur house eletric?? or a gen? im scarred to run that much
right now i have 6 plants growing under 1400w 1000w hps and a 400w mh in the same hood, i veg'd for 10 weeks and from the looks of it i'll have close to 2 lbs dry i fimmed 2 of them and there 3 times bigger than the rest. i cut the lowest branch and it came out to 10g dry and on that 1 plant i have 25 tops and this was'nt a top by no means so im guessing 2+lbs for the 6 i have and there in a 5x3 areaQuote:
