What is Promix and is that all you use verses soil, rockwell cubes, pellets or per-lite/cocoa mix?

I place seven plants under each 1000 watt HPS and arrange them so that the plants in the center sit lower than the plants at the sides. If you were to look at just the bottom pales on the side you would see what looks like an inverted plate, with the middle highest. Also I place the plants 'around' the light so that it strikes them at about a 45 degree angle. If more than one light is used it maximizes growth. If only one light is used you will have to rotate the outside plants so that they receive light equally. Using this method I get 2 pounds bone dry after curing.

I have done numerous configurations and this is what seems to produce the most for me. Others have different methods, may be better but I have found it works for me.

I am in the process of changing the way I grow to utilize a perpetual garden setup. It will be quite different, but i'm sure it will work out great and pull off a crop every 6 weeks.

TeeMoma Reviewed by TeeMoma on . How many plants under a 1000W(HPS) to maximize the yield? Hello guys, I wanted to get your opinion on how many plants to put under a 1000W (HPS) to maximize the yield? A 1000W covers a 5X5 space right? I do not want to use the SOG technique cause it too much work and Iā??d ratter be caught with fewer plants if something goes bad ... I heard it didnā??t increase the yield anyways ! I was thinking about 16 plants (How tall should they be before the swich to 12/12) OR 25 plants (How tall should they be before the swich to 12/12) Rating: 5
