Estimated yield per plant with my setup help

So I am currently vegging 30 plants and I have 10x1kW HPS lamps spaced in a 12'x10' room one per meter squared. Technically meaning I'll have 1kW per square meter of plants once they're ready to flower and I was just wondering if I could get a few experienced grower's opinions on how many grams I'll be getting per plant if they're very well ventilated and properly supplied with nutrients and CO2? I'm controlling humidity, watching pH levels, soil moisture, keeping air circulating and leaving them on a strict light schedule.

The seeds have great genes and a high yield expectancy.
I'm literally going to keep them in perfect conditions with my partner and watch them very closely.

Thanks,
-CAL

Lol bartering. Good to see a local, but my opinion is, THAT'S A LOT OF FUCKING LIGHT!! Lol I too must ses pics. But given the space I'd say you could pullanywhere from 5 to 10 lbs outta there. Are you new to growing? What kind of setup you going with?

I'd say he gets a lot of burned buds. Too much light. You have 120 sq feet total space. At most you may want 7 to 8 lights MAX in that space if you are vertical. 6 MAX for horizontal (2 rows of 3).

Vertical lights need to be 40" apart. You can probably do a 2 x 3 x 2 configuration vertically from left to center to right. I think 3 rows of 3, or 2 rows of 5 (if that's what you are doing), is too much horizontally but it's your dime.

IMO, the extra light will NOT increase your yield doing a horizontal grow. It would in a vertical grown because you would be hitting the bottom branches.

You didn't say how big those 30 plants are or how long you vegged them or how those lights are set up. You didn't say what system you are using and blah blah blah blah. So I can't give you a guess on yield. More info is needed, and then it would be a really bad estimate at best.

lol I think so also...I would think by the time you buy 10 lights you would have atleast figured out how much you could yeild, I mean the thought does enter your mind when deciding on a light. Id gladly answer his question if he didnt flat out lie that he has this, If he said 'how much could this yeild'

I may be wrong but there was a grow on seemorebuds that used two 1000 watt hps lights and flowered 150 plants.
Light movers and cooltubes.

3 plants per 1000watt light is just madness.

NO ONE!! with 10 x 1kw lights is going to ask such an absolutely noobed out question. if you really have all thes lights in one room, you are going to yield a plethora of information on indoor horticulture, and a bunch of crappy bud 'cause this is your first go at it and your a noob!

well not to mention he would need electric work done. lines ran from the breaker and more amps just to hold that many lights. I had to run lines and add breakers for a 8 light grow and it wasnt easy

FarmerCal , If you really did go out and buy all this , you sir, are a dumbass for not knowing what to do with all that money you spent.
If you think you are going to go thru an entire grow with perfect conditions and no problems , then you are in for a rude awakening. It can be done , but not on your first grow.

Well you're wrong about me lying for one, and I currently have the lights set up horizontally. My cousin did the wiring and he said it's more than good enough to handle the load.

You are right about me being new, but I've been educated on what plants need to grow fast, big, and healthy. If you guys say cut down on the lights, then no problem. Less load on my gen. For getting good light distribution to the lower leaves we've been working on setting up angled sun reflectors.

Currently they're about 13 inches tall and doing really well and a partial reason for this post is also to see how long I SHOULD veg them to get the most out of them and still be able to flower completely in a 7.5' tall room when they're sitting on a ft high table.

I've read SO many posts where people give literally no information but the number of plants and lights and expect you guys to give them a good estimate.

In terms of genes, I'm growing 10 Nirvana White Widows, 10 Nirvana Chrystals, and the other 10 are Mr. Nice Critical Mass.

I purchased them all from Dr. Chronic in packs of 5 feminized and spent close to 400$$

Thanks again

i believe its accurate to say you wanna give your plants about 100w of hps light each..therefore a 1000w hps = 10 plants...a 600w = 6 plants and so on.
