How many plants under a 1000W(HPS) to maximize the yield?
I looked but can't find any better pictures as I recently changed computer hard drives. I will hook up the old one when I have time as there are some very good one's there that show my setup perfectly.
These photo's are kind of close because I was focusing on the buds and not the set up, but you can see how tall the plants are. Also, you can see that the lights are not directly over top of the plants. I find with this particular strain of AK47 that if the lights are directly over top it produces pop corn buds. If the lights are on a 45 egree angle with the big plants almost surrounding each bulb, it produces long fully developed cola's that ultimately have more weight.
What I have not done in these pictures is put up mylar or black & white. It was a quick setup and was far from perfect, but still yeilded almost 2 pounds bone dry each light. I think in this picture there were three 1000's in total.
This system works much better with multiple lights as when the plants are arranged in this way the light hit both sides, but still the outside plants must be swapped or rotated to keep the light even.
I have done this setup with 1 - 1000 watt HPS at a friends home because space was limited. We ended up yeilding 1 pound and a half bone dry. This smaller yeild was due to no cross-over light that you get with multiple bulbs. But even so, yeild still seems pretty impressive to me.
