Yeah I can imagine it doesn't happen often considering iv'e read and seen dozens of 600 watt grows and none of them yeilded a pound. Do you know any of th specifics besides co2 supplements. I will be trying this and try to do it consistently. I'm thinking Scrog?

It shouldn't be too hard it would be less than a gram per watt it's like 3/4s of a gram per watt. That shouldn't be too hard right?

Depends on a lot of things.. plus you said "constintally" which is more likely not going to happen your first year growing. I'm still in my first year (almost at the 1 year mark 
and I can't be completly consistant with my grows. I run a 600w btw. And yes you are going to need to veg longer... atleast 60 days and "maybe" you'll come close using scrog.. scrogs more of a small area "maxer"

Currently I have a T5 light set-up with my babies in the veg stage but the they seem to be Very Leggy. Why? Any answers to if I should use 600 watt HPS bulb when I get to flowering or not because I was also sooting for A lb on my return.

When I started my grow this year I could see all over the internet people claiming 1g/watt with LEDs, or 1g/watt doing scrog under hps, .. my hopes were high! Were all those claims lies!? is it really next to impossible to grow 1lbs out of say 2 x 400W HPS or 1 x 600WHPS? Thanks

600 watts is probably possible for some expert growers depending on strain.... You would have better luck with 1000 watts trying to get a lb... The foot print for 600 watt hps is what makes it very hard for a lb yeild... If you have a 600 watt hps, Id suggest adding a 400 watt hps, This will greatly increase your yeild....Ive grown 4 plants under a 400 and a 600 hps, vegged for 5 1/2 weeks with ff's soil and nutes in 5 gallon buckets topped for 2 to 3 colas and yeilded 17 oz,s.......Good luck with your endeavors

Don't listen to those stating a gram per watt... Those are super high expectations and only the best of the best can reach those numbers.... 1/2 gram per watt however is very realistic and what a novice grower should expect under great growing conditions...

you can hit 1lb without CO2...
That's not even 1g/watt.
Look up Heath Robinson. He yields like 1.5 gpw on a regular basis.
You need to utilize all of your light. Get good ventilation. Don't go crazy with too many additives/burn your plants.

If 1/2 seems to be average then 3/4 gram per watt seems like it could be doable. and I know I would have better chances with the 1000w my concern is just heat and from what I hear those put off mega heat. Also a 600 is supposed to be the most effective and efficient.
