If you hit your goal of 25-30 oz per 600, I am going to have to try your method.
I usually flower 4-5 plants at a time with veg time depending on strain. I can't seem to hit a pound. Stuck in the 12-14z range.
Few questions:
When you say not to pinch the plants after 14 days of flowering,
Are you basing this on experience? I pinch, bend, tie and otherwise manipulate my plants as needed. I hadn't noticed any effect on bud development but I have always done it so I have nothing to compare.
How big are your trays? I assumed 4'x4 but it looks like you have extra room in the 8x4 tent.
Regarding the hoods, seems that most of the light from an HPS bulb comes from the sides. The walls of the hood will be getting the most intense light and the plants will be getting mostly reflected light. Do you notice any loss in light intensity?
Good luck! I'll be watching for sure.
