you need to be outdoors or have some serious overhead space (like 12-15' and some even seriouser (i make a new word, yay!) lighting to get a lb per plant dry weight indoors.

Definately not 16oz per plant but maybe all together. More info - hydro or soil, what nutes, temp, humidity? Plus that metal halide is not recommended for budding because it has the wrong color spectrum the plan needs in that phase so expect smaller buds that take longer than if you used a HPS. Watch your temperature as well those MH's especially the 1000w get HOT!

Okay am I the only one who has noticed hes going to have 10 Plants in a 3x3x5 Space with a 1000w MH?!?!?! Lets say that temp has no effect, he's vegging for 40 days? I had 3 plants in a 3x4x6 room I vegged for 30 days and it was way way way to crowed! Now lets add the temp issue here, can we say pitts of hell in the tent? I think your going to have temps in excess of 90+! I have a 600w Cooltube with a 6in Fan and 4in Filter, so I have alot of air pushin over that bulb! And I have a difficult time with keepin temps under 80 in the summer! And even in winter my temps are 75 in the room and 65 outside the room.

So in my opinion, rethink your stratagy and come at this at a new angle!
Because IMO with this setup you wont yeild very much, but you'll get a lot of Mildew, Mites, Rot, and Fire.

** Remember this is my Opinion!

10 plants under a 1000w light might yield you about 4oz per plant.

The problem is your vegging two weeks too long, have too little of space, etc etc etc.......... You need a mentor before you waste your money.

Well it is possible to get 1+grams per watt(gpw) depending on your skills/genetics/space/etc...
But some people don't even get .25 gpw, and some people get 1.5 gpw.
Depends on you :)

In order to pull a pound of a 1000 watt you would need to .448 gpw say .5 gpw.
Good Luck
Whether you can do it with what you got is up to you :D :lol:

40 days of 23/1 will not give you a good root structure. Plants need about 6 hours a day from germ in darkness to establish a good root structure.
