Hi all,

were in to our 4th room now and its always changing, weve upped the lights and now are only growing 4 plants. Our previous room only yeilded 2.5 lbs of 6 plants and the setup was like this...

Background information:

We were using a 3 x 3.5m room with panda walls and floors.
5 x 600w hps lights - all with horizonal light configurations, two with chinamen shades and 3 with 'batman' shades
tap water with normal tds 350
nutrients starting at 850 in grow out to 1400ppm in bloom
pH kept at 6.0 during entire cycle, using a chemical tester to monitor
canna coco medium in 50L pots
drip clean
canna nutrients in grow, dutch master bloom
potash in bloom
shooting powder in the final 3 weeks
last 2 days rain water
18/6 light cycle during grow, 12/12 bloom
feed cycles - 3 x 1 minute feeds, 3 x 2 minute feeds
200l resevoir
50l brain
run to waste system
350m extraction outlet
200m inlet
350x300 carbon filter
This time around we had 6 plants, 4 weeks in grow, 9 weeks in bloom. we bend our plants over horizontal once they reach 20cm and use netting to assist with weight distribution. We also tipped them 2/3 times.

The outcome: 2-3 lbs yield

Next time around we're planning on reducing our plants to 4 and placing two 400w lights on the ground which would mean we would have a total of 3800watts.

For those resident growers, what other advice can you give us to maximise our yield? A friend was getting 9lbs off of 4 plants and we we expected more from this grow.

Nice to meet you all and I hope you can help with some advice Cheers.
