6-7 hundred grams

I know this is going to be tuff to do and being a new grower I'm lucky if I get anything but I'm wanting to get about 600-700 grams off of a harvest. That would be enough to smoke for a year doing one grow. I plan to have a 4x4x8 tent with a 1000w light. Doing proper vent and intake and co2 for that exhale bag stuff. Plan to grow northern light. If all goes we'll is this likely or am I setting impossible goals.

use your light and space wisely then yes its very possible.. evn more is possible but 6-7 grams is very realistic..

What do you mean exact ally by wisely? Maybe a dumb question but not to sure what you mean.

veg your plants properly.., veg less if your gonna cram a lot of them under that light sog.. veg more if your gonna scrog your plants and only grow like 1-4 plants under that light... eitherway supercrop... make sure your light is as close to your plants has can be without burning them and make sure your plant is getting the most light it can by creating an even canopy ... I would scrog the nls from what I remember about that strain is its bushy and squot indica. but I haven't grown it in a long time and I dono whos nl you got... feed your plants right... have your temps an air movement right... ect.

He means an experienced grower utilizing their space correctly can achieve upwards of 1g/watt = upwards of 1000grams with your light. So you could achieve much more than your goal with proper growing.

tons of variables tho - food, pot size, veg time, scrog or not, strains.

Id personally do a scrog - thats my next setup. less plants more surface to cover.

I was looking to do 3-5 plants.
Sensi seeds. Trying to avoid a scrog just because I want to keep it simple on a first grow

I was thinking 5 gallon pots and soiless medium with fox farm nutes and probably veg 3-4 weeks so they don't get to big. I don't want them to close to a 1000w light toward the end of the grow

1000w is too much for that small of a tent without the CO2. If you are really a new grower (meaning you haven't grown a couple of runs or haven't had a season or two of gardening experience) then cut that back to a 600w and skip the CO2. Get a couple of runs in then try your 1000w + CO2 version.

Co2 will just be the exhale bag. And it will be a 1000w dimmable so I could just dimm it to 600 right?

then top and supercrop the shit outta your plants until they are bushes... don't just let them do there thing naturally and grow tall andstupid... your gonna have fluffy buds on the bottom that will take longer to ripen then the top.. this will lower your yield and trimming fluffy buds sucks.. not worth it imo

Also would it benefit me to have a light mover at all?

no not in a 4x4 tent... and a 1k will light that up well... I donno that ur gonna get 6-700 grams its almost like this is ur first grow.... shoot for 10-12 zips and be happy if u get more...

I did a small one 2 clones under cfl. Nothing as complex as this.

Don't waste your money on exhale bags. They are a joke, save your money. At 30 bucks a bag you can get many different things to increase your growth. Look at plant hormones if you must but don't but those bags.

Yep, dimmable 1000w is perfect. You have 1 MH and 1 HPS bulb right?

I would start 1 seed and cut 9 (take 12 and expect a few to die if you haven't cloned) clones off of it for your first grow. 3x3 grid of plants in that space for easiest grows. Just 2 weeks of veg and flower it. DWC or another hydro option to maximize your grams.

What are my options for co2 then? And yea one hps and one mh

don't even bother with co2 yet..... just make sure your tent has proper airflow... co2 is a costly investment with tanks ands co2 reader ect. co2 is better for a sealed room enviorment with higher temps...

With CO2 you need a sealed room, so add in AC + dehumidifiers + CO2 + a lot of tape. Just a CO2 tank and a regulator.

so many different options...

I would grow 1 plant and keep LSTing the top down to make it bush out. fill up your space and then flower..lollypop anything underneath that wont get good light and you will end up with about 30 nice cola's

genetics are a huge part of yield. some strains just have bigger buds than others...

what strains are you going to use?
