ok guys here is what i have orderd

1*) homebox xl

1*) 600w hps bulb

1*) 600w mh bulb

1*) bag canna pro plus soil 50L

1*) bag canna pro plus coco 50L

6*) 10L pots

1*) tray 1.2m*1.2m*10cm

6*) cheeseydew cuttings (frisian dew * cheese)

1*) plant magic soil grow hardwater 1* plant magic soil bloom hardwater 1* plant magic boost 1* canna rhizitonic

1*) extractor (forget the size but its perfect for my space) 1*carbon filter


ok so going to veg using the mh bulb in the soil for maybe 2 to 3 weeks top feeding into the soil, i then cut the bottom off the pots fill the tray with the coco, sit the pots on top of the coco, veg for another 2 to 3 weeks during this time feed from mainly the bottom (into the coco) jus top feed the soil when the top few inches are dry .
i copied this method off a old friend because of the massive root growth when the roots hit the coco(when my friend pulled his plants up after harvest the roots looked like thick bright hairy rope), when top feeding in the soil he uses full strentgh nutes and when bottom feeding into the coco he uses the nutes at around 3/4 in veg and 1/2 in flower.
ok so when it is time to flowering going to use the 600w hps the plants take around 9 to 10 weeks to flower fully

my question is what do you think i am likely to yield? i only ask because i am no longer in contact with said friend

temps will be around 80 to 85c lights on 70 to 75c lights off

2 fans for good air flow

the strain is in its 20th or 30th generation my old friend crossed a cheese female with a frisian dew male many moons ago and has been playing with the strain ever since.
its such a beautiful plant some of them go pinkish purple with a lovely cheese taste others are dark dark green with a sweet cider apple taste.
my friend used to yield about 4oz off each of the 6 plants but i cant remember what wattage his light were

p.s will be lsting plants from weeks 2 to 4 in veg then supercropping if needed in week 5 of veg

In a 4 foot by 4 foot space, probably not as much as you think you will.
I think you are going to run out of light if you veg that long.
600w for 16 sq.ft.?
You didn't mention how many you are going to squeeze in there.

Whats the traits of that strain? tall, short, sativa- indica? With 1 light and no mover you might be better off scrogging them.

5 or 6 plants 6 im pretty sure

well my friends were all short although he used to lst them i would say no bigger than 3 to 4ft high with like 6 or 7 heads per plant in an even canopy with big pinky purple buds

I googled it, 47"x47 1/2".
Basically an inch shy of 4 feet square.
Or, 16sq.ft.
It sounds like a nice plan, but I don't think you're going to have enough light.

I usually go with the high side (excuse the pun), so about an oz a week. You should be able to accomplish your goal of not having to buy at the above prices, but be forewarned it most likely will not happen on your first attempt.

Your also going to need cool-tubes and/or air-cooled hoods to keep those 600W from throwing the temps through the roof.
