Highest yield 4x8 space

So what's your opinions on how to get the most yield out of a 4x8 space with 6 ft ceilings

in a year or in a season

in only a season u want Photos ......in a year running all the time u want Autos

4x8 u need at least 2 1000w hids or 2 900w leds ...then the rest is up to your skills and taste in growing
safest and will always get u returns is soil .........for the most possible hydro (hydro requires more skills and equipment )

With the lower ceiling height I'd go with 2 600w lights in some type of air cooled hood/cool tube, it will give you a little more vert space to work with, I can touch the tube on my 600 after it's been on for hours. You could set up 2, 4x4 flood and drain trays and run a perpetual sog, should be able to pull around a pound a month, once it's dialed in. For simplicity, you could do 1 plant per sq ft, which would be 32 plants( maybe cut it down to 28 or so for a little extra room), in dirt 10 gal smart pots maybe? veg em for 4-6 weeks then flower em. so many different ways..what's your flavor?

I run a 4x8x6 room......depending how big you want to grow your plants you can easily put 8 big plants in there. The rest is dependent on strain and how long you veg for.

With the right strain in one run you could easily average 4-6 ounces per plant....so max is around 48 ounces.

I want to see the results. I have my new approx 4x8 room running now, with 21 plants and a light of my own design (2x CMH 315w + 1400w of LED + 200w 10% UVB Tanning Bulbs) I'm going for max yield (from the space, not watt) and A+ quality at the same time, it's also working as my heater. You aren't going to get to A+ with just HPS...

I get almost a qp every two weeks from five clones under a 1kw hps put in as soon as they are rooted. I run them for ten weeks in five sets of five.

I always get about 24 oz out of my 4x8 tent every time. 12 plants, 10 plant, 6 plants. As long as I fill up the canopy it's almost always the same yield. Under 2x 600w.

2x Gavita 750 watt, 40-50oz per cycle, 5 cycles or more per year if you got like a 2x2 space for clones or germinating and a couple of weeks veg.

I never really get the weight per plant thing but around 48 max seems pretty accurate to me.

So, about 3 pounds.

About a pound

LOL.....among a few friends of mine we call ounces-per-plant "plounces". I was getting 5-6 plounces with Mataro Blue and Dinafem's Amnesia. Since then I failed miserably with going with a shit-ton of small plant in an attempt to boost my grow room's output. Apparently I'm not very good at doing small plants and am inching my way back up to fewer big plants as it's just easier to manage.

Learn something new at rollitup every day "plounces: ounces of dry bud per cannabis plant".

It sure is, I used to grow 5 plants in nearly 7 gallon pots, now 36 (during veg, about a third during flowering) in small pots and it sure requires more attention. Many small plants is a little easier if you have some automated watering setup and grow clones with the same/similar demand in nutrients.

Thanks for all the replys guys giving me lots of ideas!

Also, I'm building a 4x8 flowering area, 2 600W hps. On one half it's going to have a stinkbud style 24 site LP aero/nft hybrid system, the other side I'm going to be running dwc to start but if i like the aero/nft system, I'll be building another.

Hmmmmm....i did 3 plants with two 600s a couple times and got 24ish both times...interesting...

Long veg though...

Plounces????? Hahaha

I am going to start using that. Thanks.

I have a 5x10 that I use two 600s , get around a pound per 600w.

I know this is an old thread but just seen it and wondered what u went with? I've just built my new flower room which is 4x8. I'm throwing 3 x 600w adjust a wings with cooltubes in there gonna try and hit 60 oz. I run top feed to waste with loose grodan cubes. Lemme know how u did dude

60 ozs might be tough, but doable if you can control the heat.

Doing hydro or soil?

What are loose cubes? I run 2 1k's over a 4x8 as well. Always wondered if 3 600's would be better.
