Sea Of Green Drain to waste

PLEASE READ!!!!!!

I'm looking into starting my first SOG. My goal here is to make my way up to a perpetual SOG consisting of (4) 4'x4' tables each containing 32 plants of an 8 week strain of my choosing. Each table with its own drain to waste drip system (for use in my amended coco) Each table with its own 600w HID. I realize that puts my watts per ft2 at about 37.5 per table. A little low yes. But I will also be supplementing with CO2 to ideally make up for that slight disadvantage. However for now I will be starting with a 7'x7' table same set up with (2) 1000w HIDs just to get my feet wet and familiarize myself with the SOG method. I hope to place 100 clones on this table to give each cola a 6"x6" space for growth. My question for anyone out there who can answer... Under these circumstances is it realistic to expect at least 14g per plant or 1.43g per watt???
Cheers!
Your not going to get what you want slapping a sixer over a 4x4 table. And using co2 to "make up" for the lack of light won't cut. It doesnt work like that. You will be wasting co2 basically. You grow will only go so far as your most limiting factor will allow. In this case...inadequate light for what you want to accomplish. Use thousands with co2 for that 4x4 table. Get em going proper. If you want to use sixers...2 of em over 3x6 tables is PERFECT. Heed what i say.
