2x- 1000W SE HPS, somewhat dialed in with only 1 previous grow under the belt and its possible to net 4lbs from a 4'x8'. (Been there. Done it.)
Its not that difficult, but even for 1 (4'x8') with 8 plants, it's a lot of work. The devil's in the details, and to take care of all of them properly takes a bit of time.
It might do you best in the long run to do a small 4 plant grow to understand "how" to grow before taking on 8 tents and 10lbs.
Whatever you decide I wish you the best. Make sure to start up a journal once you get it all up and running.
Oh. It's real easy to go to the grow journal section, look up people who are giving you advice, and figure out who it is you should listen to. A few who helped me out have given you some pretty good advice. Just make sure the people giving it to you know their shit.
Pictures or it didn't happen.

I already got the journal app I definitely gone keep up with the journal. And I got u I followed everyone who gave me some good advice so I'll remember who they are. I'm really impressed with that grow bro. I know I haven't started a grow yet but from what I have educated myself on my goal of course being get thru my first year of growing without any major problems and for yield my goal for my first grow with 4 plants in a 4x4 veg tent and with 2 1000w HPS in a 10x10 tent for flowering is not even 4 pounds Im not gone expect to hit 4 pounds with a set up like that my first grow I was thinking more like 3.5lbs - 3 lbs the least . All I'm saying is id be super happy getting 4lb out that setup. Got a question tho. How many plants did u have in that set up and how long did u veg them?2x- 1000W SE HPS, somewhat dialed in with only 1 previous grow under the belt and its possible to net 4lbs from a 4'x8'.

8 plants in flower. All different strains. Veg ranged from 4-6wks. I wouldn't ever go over 8 plants, but if you're looking more for max amount per plant than overall tent yield, 4 plants max is all I would grow.
That's amazing bro. That's very similar to what I'm trying to do too. And yea I'm definitely only starting with 4 . I appreciate the pics . Gives me an idea of what mine should look like
Oh yea how much did u yield roughly per plant? Roughly 200gs? My bad I forgot to ask

Do some research on Dutch Bucket Hydroponics also. (Aka Hempy)
Simple as can be.
My first grow was in soil. Everyone said with the space I had I should check out Hydro because of the growth difference.
I thought they were BSing.
They weren't. It's worth it and with Hempy, you dont need extra pumps/air stones and all that stuff.

Being different strains it all varied.
At least 6oz per plant(fucked a couple up), last one was 18. (More if I didn't slip and lose some to PM.
I appreciate that I'll definitely look into that too
Not bad at all. Makes sense. I'll definitely take all the advice u gave me and research up on the Dutch bucket hydroponics as well.

Yeah you can go this route.....

Or get that gavita bulb, whatever ballast you want, and this hood.
As far as tent growing goes, the sun systems hood is what you want. Very nice spread at 36-48'' from canopy. Open fixture would be to hot for a tent.

Yea I second the “look at the grow journals” comment and just in general the pics people post. Pay way more attention to those people who actually grow healthy plants. There are a bunch and they all grow in their own way. Lots of people give tons of bad advice and they show no grow pics...or their plants look lame.

Harvest every three months with a 2 month veg? That math doesn’t add up to me.

It does if you have separate veg and flower. You can veg one area and flower another. He not talking total cycle per an individual plant he is talking just pulling down a flowering tent every 3 month....or so I assume. Doesn’t matter anyway op is going in a diff direction.
I just realized that too. More like 5 months and some change.
