A plant big enough to pull down a pound would take up a 1000 watter by itself.(much easier and faster to have 16 small plants giving an oz. per plant, much less veg time.) A monster plant outdoors might not give off a 1.5 pounds.

If you fimm each plant once when it is about 3-4 weeks old you should have no trouble getting 1 gram per watt assuming that is that you are not a novice grower and that this is not your first attempt.

If you fimm a lot and use a heavy weight strain in the first place you can easily break the 1 gram per watt barrier with a high yielding f1 sativa/indica hybrid.

What you do have to take into account is that only the plants that are directly under the lamps will achieve this amount and all of your sidelined plants will not.
They way around this problem is to use a light rail of some kind.

Best of luck with it:peace::joint:

experienced growers get around .5 to .75 grams per watt. You really need to read up on the grow FAQ, because it's obvious you have no idea what you're doing!! I agree with James Bond, you ask for advice but then act like you know more than everyone, it's pretty obnoxious.
I have a hard time with this experience stigma people throw around like bad judgement and mistakes are something to be proud of. If a strain claims to yeild a certain amount that is what I base my judgement on. And for someone to flat out say you can't grow a lb from one plant is ignorant. Please read my first post on all the equipment I have and the time I plan on growing. I appreciate all of you guy's, I really do but If you don't put yourself In my shoes you will never understand. Please re-read the first post and If I need extra lights just tell me.
Thanks,

1000 watts = 1 pound

plain and simple. it can be 1 plant or 500 plants, but 1000 watts will still only = 1 pound.

We'll I could add another 2-1000 watt hid and give the plants 10,700 lumens instead of 5,350 per square inch. Which is more light than the sun gives. I bet this would really yield me close to 2lb's per plant!

But I think this is too much light for only 40 plants.
Im not sure that will be enough light... 40 is a ton of plants. Check out Mister420Green's grow.

Good luck with your grow... Post some pics for all of us when you can.

Has anyone ever harvested 1.5lb's per plant? I'm going to veg my plant's for 3 month's then flower for another 2. I'm quite sure I can harvest 1.5lb's per plant. I'm growing 40 plant's using 2-1000 watt hid/mh(reverable) lights, mylar, temp/humidity/co2 controller, fox farm soil and nutrients, fan ect... The marijuana seeds im using are from a seedbank and each strain yield between 600-850 m2. Now whats the big deal? With this set up and time length how could you not yeild 1.5lb's?:roll:
Well this post is pretty much irrelevant now, I started this post before the two previouse were posted, oh well.


Ok, I will start by saying I am a very inexperienced grower and I only know what I know from reading and what I have been involved with awhile back. Just from what I have gathered from everyones reaction to your questions, it is unlikely you will get 1.5lbs/plant not impossible. No you do not have adequate lighting to reach your goal. I don't yet know enough about light to give you a number of lights needed to reach your goal, but I'm sure some one on here is. I will also say that buisnesses like to give you the absolute best numbers, even if it is highly unlikely to reach them. They may have said you will get x amount, but that is not necessarily so. I hope that some one will see this and give you a positive answer though, this forum community is a big help and even though you may see a little hazing you will get good advice just wait for it.

4-1000 watt hid's would give 40 plant's more light than the outside sun and for longer periods of time. I already have a temp/humidifier/co2 controller. I will put up mylar to reflect the light(my light hoods also have a reflector). The soil and nutrients I'm using are fox farm. Now if I put these same 40 plant's outside in a open field where the sunlight could get them for 5 month's Id harvest over 40 pounds; I'd also get robbed or go to jail. So common sense tell's me that being inside where I can control the environment (no stress) plus add more light than the outside, more co2, nutrients ect... common sense tell's you that you'd harvest more.

I can be wrong but logic is a bitch!

You do understand the yeilds listed for the strains are grown by pros who have the strains dialed in. You have absolutely no growing experience and that's the biggest factor you are leaving out!

common sense should also tell you, you're not listening.... you dont get the answers your looking for in this thread you've started https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/82616-80-plants-indoor.html ....so you start another thread(this thread), while insulting the people who've helped you in the first thread by titling this thread ' i hate dumb people '

well we do too....and how you come off and sound is very much like a dumb person.

just for your future knowledge...the sun puts off way more than 10,000 lumens. the sun puts off 15000watts/m2.... you cant compete with that...no way no how.

you ARENT going to get 1lb, nor 1.5lb, NOR 2lbs per plant EVER EVER EVER indoors.

we've told you this once, we'll tell you again. stop clogging the forums starting new threads when you ask a question and people tell you the truth, which is what you dont want to hear!

show me one person who has gotten 1lb/per plant indoors and ill shut up. im even waiting for someone to show me they've gotten 1/2lb/per plant indoors.....i would really really like to see this. until then...you fucking dreaming

So no matter how many plants I have a 1000 watt hid will only give me a pound? So If I grow 40 plants with 4-1000 watt hid I will only harvest 4 pounds? This defeats the whole purpose of growing. I'm not into small potatoes.

you don't base yields off of plant #'s. you base yields off of canopy size and light coverage. HID lighting loses lumens as you move away from the bulb. the light at 1 foot is much brighter than the light at 5 feet. :blsmoke:

Mate! these people are trying to help you! Listen!!!
You can get great yields doing this, but the ignorance (I do not mean this in an offensive way, but in the literal way)you are displaying here tells everyone that you are quite a ways from even getting an average yield.

Good luck mate!
