I get all my seeds from greenhouse. Very strong genetics. I have purchased quite a few strains already never had nanner even in very bad environmental conditions.

Getting a G/W comes down to grow conditions and lighting as well as how many plants you have.
Also LED is the way to go for G/W
Platinum LED and Kind LED K5 Have by far the best PAR and spectrum.
If your using HID you will need to pack alot of plants SCROG TOP/FIM LST.
Get as many plants in one space as you can.
If you have less plants more veg time is needed.
Best way to get a G/W with HID is with SoG or Sea of Green which should not be confused with SCRoG Screen of Green.
4 Plants per square foot. Can fit many many. Choose strong high yielding genetics with single cola.
Chronic is a very good strain for this.
Getting the G/W is very difficult when you are not running max plant numbers even in SCRoG.
If you upgrade to LED G/W is doable even for novice.
I recommend Platinum LED.

I grow led and i'm pretty happy with yields. I have to mention that led can be confusing because for example my 600w led's pull 270 true watts from the wall. 
Anyway Platinum is top quality led but pretty expensive aswell.
I'm stacking up Chinese led's, cheaper with same results.

Yes, they really need to stop with the adverts.I grow led and i'm pretty happy with yields. I have to mention that led can be confusing because for example my 600w led's pull 270 true watts from the wall.
900w is really 515 etc.
LED is by far the way.
Platinum LED is what im upgrading to.
In a 10 x 10 24 RDWC with 600 Platinum p900 (515 watts) of SCROG with Grizzly Purple Kush and Chocolate Fondue.
I will be getting killer yield.

I'm running four totes with 6 plants each in a 8x 2 1/2x8 closet vegger for a week to ten dayz , is that a good start or should I try to pack in a little more I'm growing in 27 gallon totes .. Just woundering how much factor does water temp have to do with yeild because my water temps are around 74-76 degress and I've never had any root issue but just woundering how bigga role that plays out into your final yeild . ?

This is DWC?
Water temp is very important or you can get root rot and other bacteria to kill your crop.
How much height are you working with?
Working with indica or sativa?
Usually you veg them until they are half the size you want them to be in the end.
What strain from where ,example Cherry Bomb from Blimburn.

Will do, will be making a full grow journal on it.
This is a larger scale grow.
Will be pulling 6+ LBS.
Using a professionally build RDWC bu Alien Hydroponics.
The whole 9 yards.
Will be constantly getting new genetics to test until i find the best genetics for what I want.
large yeild and great phenotypes as well as great terpine taste and frost.
Im just finishing up a 32 plant Aero mini Scrog of white widow.

I have never had issues with disease or root rot , that's why I was asking if water temps have other effect on yeild expect if you get for or diseases , witch I have neither my plants stay lush all the way from start to finsh , I'm working. With 8 foot ceiling two 600 watt I'm growing currently trainwreck , critical queen , alien og, white rhino , and white widow. And ice kush . Vegg for a week from clones piped root about 12" tall when put into flower .

If your roots are good you should be fine.
If you have 8 feet if it were me I would veg until they are half the size I want them.
If you got 8 feet id veg until 3 feet.
Is this personal or not?

I'm not going for the tree this time want small faster turn around personal and small client list need around a two pounds a month I get almost that but I have to vegg longer the I want .. This was my last grow . I'm thinking of putting a trellises across my clost and train the plants durning the strech for even canopy , I might just need a bigger space ..

You should SCROG.
Scrog will improve yield.
But the only way to get a larger yield is more veg time or upgrading to LED which I doubt it possible if you dont have the budget.
SCROG is your friend.
Other than that noting you can do other then veg or better equipment unless you could fit another plant in there.

Highly debatable.

Really! 9/10 times more yield? Wow, I've heard like 30% more running co2 but not 900% more thats just crazy talk (like the skittles commercial) Just kidding, i have no ideal how much more you would yield. I agree the gram per watt thing is really a poor measurement. Gram per KWH would be better!!!

Cough, choke, cough, insert stunned face here. Veg time has nothing to do with yield?

Also Tone I have found that running 4 in my totes will yield about the same as 6. They get pretty crowded in there with 6.

Yea you're right, it is highly debatable for people who don't take the time to research and learn, if you suck at growing you're going to suck regardless if you have additives or not. But if you have everything in your grow room dialed in using additives will definitely help.
