You can't get a pound from a 400w
Im sure in a ScrOG setup with ideal conditions a lb would be easy. Given the right strain and the experienced grower you'd be surprised. :peace:

Try and 600Watt HPS or even a 400Watt HPS and if you can afford a different light for veg get a MH its worth it.

Maybe buy a conversion bulb or a switchable ballast. Anything to cut costs.

Id advise to go with CFLS right up to flower. It's been proven many a time, it works, they are cheap and they save you cash when the eletricity bill comes too. If done right they can get the side branching growing crazy.

Yeah, you can grow good with 8-12 CFL's but if electricity bill wasn't really a issue a MH bulb would be nice and not much more expensive.
