Hello,
On my last run I got about 3.5 lb from 3800 watts at about 8000 lumens per sq ft.
In my new room I got the big Raptor hoods figuring they would throw the light better. So now in that room I have 24 plants under 4000W at about 8000 lumens sq ft.
I was told that 1 lb per 1000W is about all I can get.
So my question is, If I were to put 6 1000W lights over those same 24 plants would I yield more? Or are the plants pretty much maxed out at 8000 lumens?
I still have a third room to finish. I am trying to get on a monthly cycle. Would it help to put 6 lights in the last room? So that in the first half of flower they are at 8000 lumens, then in the second half they are at about 12,000. Is that overkill?
I would like to get to at least 6 lb per crop. I am still in the process of adding co2 and that may bring my yield close to my goal.
Thanks
