I get "about a lb" (3 zips per) out of 6 plants under a 600w MH with very basic LST and topping. Not quite 4 harvests a year. Crippled by having only one room for everything. Plants cover an area of about 4.5'x 7'x 8'. I rotate position every water

I'm a curious bystander in this thread. I also have a 600w medium sized hood and I'm going to do 9 plants. I wonder if thats too many now.

Glad I stumbled on this thread.

We just installed our 600w hps hood w/cool tube. HUGE difference from LED.

Currently there are 8 plants (all autoflower, 5 gal smart pots) under the light (bulb guide said approx. 2 ft above plants)--the big hood is spreading the light so well. We should be able to fit 9 on the flowering side of the tent.

Hope this helps.

I did 8 in the same space I mention. By most standards, I should have at least 1000w, but ...

Edit: ...and they did just fine. 6 filled the canopy also and actually yielded more (albeit with training changes). Bottom line is although 8 fit in my 600w space, only about half were in the "sweet spot".
