2400 watts is getting close to having to worry about electricity use, but with my particular situation it isn't a problem.
I vegged for 40 days or so, and flowered for 9 weeks about. I dont think this should be consided an "efficient" grow technique, however the standard KBS technique using a bigger space (5x5 per plant) and having lamps hung vertically between the plants is a very efficient method. this is just my way to best use this space and have some fun tinkering with toys and gadgets. the plant was I think like 7 feet tall from media to tip, and it filled the 4x3 space from top to bottom, so its was 3 feet wide and laying up against the walls.

I was thinking to build (when I'll move out) a setup similar to yours in a room. So I would have enough space to do a 5x5 grow. I would use 8xT5HO (5000 lumens/54w each) + 1x1kw HPS + LEDs, used inside the plant almost like a xmas tree, I presume it will help a lot for light penetration.
The setup would output as much lumen as your setup, I presume that with 4 fluos in each corner and 4 more in the center of each side placed vertically the light distribution will be a little better. I can make the ballast for the T5HO, so it won't cost me that much.
Btw, the plant would be a Super Silver Haze
it's the reason I would like that type of grow, see it's entire beauty and get some outrageous yield
What do you mean by KBS, I haven't found anything on the web about this technic.

Hows the hyjacking of websites going for you?Come here again and I'll let the people here know your secrets......and your real username...asshole.
If you think you're going to be threatening people here my friend you better think again. I've been told you know this person in real life and you're bordering on a bannable offense......

Quite a great work you've done here, thumbs up !
very impressive indeed, you're the man!
Im doing something similar to yours and hope to get nearly half the yield you've got.

wow foaf, very nice yields, enjoy!
thanks everyone. As soon as my SSH clone is rooted I'm starting up another grow with a different setup. If things workout as I'm planning, it should be quite the biggest indoor tree ever. I'm gonna LST downward so that I can fill up the volume with bud and avoid all of the pruning I had to do to keep the lower plant from getting too thick.... and I have raised my top light about a foot so I can go higher and I added a bit more wattage
