Alright so this is what I want to do :
-Achieve 1gram/watt of light
-11 female plants total, starting with 30.
-2 6" 250CFM inline fans
-Mylar Grow Room 10' x 5' x 6' 8"
-2 1000w HPS/MH Switchable intercooling ballasts.

Strains I will be working with are as followed :
-White Rhino
-White Widow
-NorthernLights x Skunk

My questions,
-Do you think Ill need more then the two 250CFM inline fans and a charcoal filter to hide the smell ? Or should I just double up on the filter?
-Is 2000w lighting sufficient enough for 11 females to grow 1gram/watt, If it is not, well how many watts would I need per plant to achieve gram/watt ratio.
Yes I already know that lighting is not all to gram/watt ratio, must be tempature controlled, fed right, etc etc etc. Not my first rodeo, simply is that enough lighting.
-Will vegging under the 2000w of light for month & half from seed be sufficient enough to achieve approx 450gram dry weight/plant?
-450 gram a plant is my goal, I will be LSTing the plants to provide enough light to the bottom section of the colas.

I did well off my 400w for 3 plants and achieved around 4ozs/plant, so I figure the 2000watts of lighting for 11 females should suffice?

Anyway drop a line, or any usefull information I may have over looked. Its been a few years since my last crops.

Thanks guys!

God it feels good to be back .
I dont think its a matter of smell if the fan and filter are matched, but more a matter of will this be enough to keep 2- 1kw lights cool. I say no way.

My rule of thumb if you know what your doing is 1.5 lb per 1kw of the indica kind of stuff and 2-3lb per for sativas.

you didn't say how said plants are being grown. but from seed to get there in 6 weeks isn't impossible. you will need to flower till the last minute.

I think many people want 450g plants, truth is this is not a realistic goal for most indoor growers. I would say if you were that grower you wouldn't need to ask these questions.

Good luck and keep us all posted on the progress.
