I ran a 1KW in about 12 square feet in DWC setups, and my plants were always pretty healthy, but for some reason they never filled out like they should have to get those huge yields. I would recommend one or two huge plants to fill your space rather than a bunch of little ones, as its easier to maintain, but that's just me. :jointsmile:

Jorge Cervantes suggests you should harvest .5 g/W on average or you are wasting electricity and time. That means I should have been harvesting well over 1 LB per harvest but I never got anywhere close to that. I would not go into it expecting 1g/W or even .5g/W or you will be sorely disappointed. Not saying its not possible, but you gotta work at it for a while to get that kind of yield. My first two or three yields were barely over 2 ounces off 10 plants. Its much harder than it seems. Maybe its for the best that I quit so I can leave growing the pros and their .5g/W yields. :thumbsup:

Man, seriously. That sounds like a serious HEAT or AIR problem. If their is no Fresh air coming in, or the heat is above 90, yield's will suffer severely, i dont care what strain you have. I got all of my knowledge from Cervantez book and experience in the field, but i have read it Front to back a couple of times.


When i move to colorado, Preyn for 2010. Ill be renting a 2br apt. Legal # plants with 3kw's in a 4x8, and a sep. A/C unit. Hopn to get about 9oz off each of 6 plants. That's about .45 G/W which is BAD.

edit: W/D conn.-240v to 4-120v light controller for safety.

Always remember Volts x Amps= Watts, And you should'nt push it pass 50% load. so a 240 with 30amp breaker=7200W/ 50%= 3600 running watts. Ok i think i got off topic here.
