How many plants for 1000 watt hps

How many plants should I grow under a 1000 watt hps. Also, How long should I let them veg according to the number you suggest?

i think this is the second most popular question of new growers...first being 'how much will I yield with...?', lol.
I promise, everyone will give you diff answers. basically, you need to decide what your goal is and do whatever you gotta do to reach it.
as there are many ways to grow indoors, there will be as many answers to your question!
I saw a guys grow, w/600w HPS, grew 45 plants, all under 2 feet tall....12/12 from seed.
but you could opt for growing only 2, 18/6 for 8wks, then another 8wks at 12/12...
IMO, you should set some goals for yourself, then ask the experts if it's feasible and how...

I would like to yield a half pound or a pound. I'm not sure if this is possible with one 1000 watt hps light so that is why I was asking for advice. Is it to much to shoot for ten plants under one light? I would veg them for two months and then flower. Does this sounds like a joke or is my goal feasible. I will be growing white widow and ak47.

You should get 1lb from 5 AK's if you get a good grow going. I am just giving those numbers based off my last AK grow which got me just over 3 O'z dry (1 plant) and it was under 400w HPS. I vegged for 42 days and flowered for about 63 days.

What are the dimensions of your grow area?

10 by 10 with eight foot ceilings

That's right 10x10 x 8 but what I would do is get the biggest hood and a light rail and mover as well. That will add to what your 1000 watt light can do

1 - 50, take your pick

how much time you got to get them done? i would suggest working with fewer plants and vegging them longer on your first grow as that gives you more time to learn feeding, topping and such. depending on what strain you are growing i would suggested 6 to 8 plants veg for 8 weeks if from seed. that will put you in the 1/2 pound +area and leave you with fewer plants to tend to.

first off what are you growing them in? i put 12,, 3 gallon hempy buckets under my 1000w hps i stagger them and every other one goes up on blocks so the light gets to the bottom better. if you want help just pm me with what you have and your plan..i can get you a pound from that light.

you can do 12-15 big plants
