Realistic Yield?

From a 6x6x6 foot room, is over a pound a realistic yield?

Was thinking of a 600w HPS, but for a yield like this, probably 1000 or maybe 2 6's?

IF you SCROG'd an area this size, what do you think is a realistic yield? Optimally? Vegging for aprox. 4 weeks, topping or FIM'd a few/times per plant

A friend of mine who grows says he pulls about a pound a plant. Just wondering if this is possible in an area this size with the lights listed above

First off u won't be topping a few times with a 4 week veg. I would go with two 600's over a 1000.
Yield anywhere from 1 gram to a 1000. I'm guessing this will be your first grow so realisticaly you might yield a pound in that space with 2 X 600's

O well maybe I am wrong. But I was under the impression you can top at about 2 weeks veg, than again after about another 2 weeks. NO?

And I was kind of leaning towards the 2 6's as well. Do you think a single 1000 would stay cooler than 2 6's?

He pulls a pound a plant indoors?.. Theres tons of different contributing factors that apply to yeilds.. Soil, Air Flow, Nutrients, Lights, I think 4oz a plant would be a good start.. A pound a plant indoor would be a huge plant, and would have to be done by a very expierenced grower, nd its still questionable then, aim for 2 oz a plant.. Scrogg will help yeild very much.. But fimming can be done several times for each branch.. Just maybe not in the same time frame..

Thats what he said. lol He said he usually only does 3 or 4 plants and never gets less than 3 pounds. He said he had like 100 tops or something. Guessing he veg's for a while and just keeps on topping. Not sure, still new and only talked to him once for about 5 min.

His carbon filter is fuckin huge tho. Like damn near 5 feel tall probably. lol Didnt know they even come that big.

I may end up going with the 2 600's than. Depending on income. I may just run 1 600 this time than upgrade for grow # 2.

I need about a pound for this first grow. Im going to be allowed to have 6 flowering plants. And most likely will not be doing more to stay legal and as un-paranoid as possible.

So really hoping I can pull a pound from 6 plants under a single 600w HPS. It may be wishful thinking, but im confident I can get a little over .5 gram/watt on this grow.
