3 X 600 hps = how much bud?
- Thread starter dagobaker
- Start date
If I were to get 3 600w lights I think I'd shoot for 3lbs, it's under 1 gpw and if you've grown the strain before I don't think it would be too hard. If you're not worried about plant numbers, Sog would give you the best results, but if you want to keep numbers down then you could veg for longer, depending on how your strain reacts to prolonged vegging. Then you could LST or Scrog, and you can get good results from those as well.

correct, theyre the main producing part of the plant. (for some strains atleast)

Hi
Ive got similar lighting to you mate, i run 4 * 600s in a sealed room.
Ive tried a few different methods over the last few years but recently ive prefered to do soil/coco mix, 15ltr pots and a good veg. You can get approx 20 under 3 lights ( i do 26 with the extra light). I use ak47 and sometimes cheese. You can get 3.5 oz per plant with ak47 so with 3 lights you should aim for 70 oz upwards. With Cheese i can get 3 oz per plant so about 60 oz for the 3 lamps. I would have thought you could get at least 3 oz per plant with widow this way however i ve only run widow once and that was a few years ago.
The plants are topped in veg to give 4 or 6 decent heads so they end up pretty big
I usually veg them for 4 weeks and then flip the lights. Once there at the height i need ( usually 5ft ) i use budblood to stop the stretch ( if there still going! ) and then just feed bio bloom and a good PK booster for the rest of the flower period.
I prefer this method cos its easy to maintain and i can look in on the plants every other day if im busy. The 15Ltr pots seem to hold enough water for about 3 days as well( depending on the room temps ), Oh, and its cheap cos i reuse the soil for 3 or 4 grows
Hope this helps

3 pounds seems to be the average of a good grower under that amount of light.
I used to run a 1000 watt light right next to a double 400 watt light (2 bulbs, each 400 watts).
The 800 total watts was not nearly as good as a single 1000 watter. The 1000 watter has more depth and produces more bud.
So now I have just 1 lamp, (1000 watts) and grow 4 at a time and get about 22-24 oz every 2 months. (49 day harvest with Skunk #1)

7 1/2 lbs off 3 600's. I'm from Missouri, SHOW ME!
We aint talking Big Bud either, a tab bit of Quality would be good.

Well stationary iv seen a buddy get 13-17oz off each 600watt. Then an experiment with light rails brought the total to 22-26oz off each 600watt. It all depends on so many factors. I think that with the right strain and technique one could pull close to 2lbs off one 600watt on a rail.

It's simple, all you need is a quality strain, have your environment dialed in, and be a good grower that pays attention at all times. My last run was 26 Oz's from one 600W light, and that was a test run where 1/4 of the plants were shadowed or didn't grow very tall so their weight was highly diminished. I have no problem at all reaching 40 Oz's per 600W, just because I don't show it and you can't do it doesn't mean a bullshit call is in order.
Also, questioning if I am an "Agent" .......grow the fuck up. I am so sick of kids saying that shit to me. I've been here longer than most of the Noobs on this site and this aint my first fuckin rodeo either. Try doing some homework on how to grow, and look around at more than just PC grows and you will find some things that are pretty amazing.
