if its your 1st grow. i would say get you 5 5gal buckets and practice training some plants with lst or topping. I prefer vegging my clones an extra week if in soil. (i use hydro) to grow monster plants with bigger buds. some ppl like smaller plants with more of them. I think its easier to take care of fewer plants.

well your set than ^^ more watts better yield..depends on all the other factors i guess. 2x 1000watters would be vicious.

.5 per watt is a pretty pedestrian yield. It's really hard to calculate because of all the factors. Temps, fertilizer, medium, strains, location, etc. This question can't be answered well with a calculator or a third party. You'll just have to wait

You need to understand the inverse square law. Keeping the lumen level at all points in the canopy over 5000 is important. A 120,000 lumen bulb allows for about 36" from the bulb to the canopy edge before the amount of energy is beneath the 5,000 lumen equivalent.
You'll have to bust out the old square root of the (height squared plus length squared) to give yourself a good idea of what is going on.
Generally speaking though, in a reflector the light can cover an area of 5 feet by 5 feet adequately but a 4x4 foot print offers better growth.
Without a reflector and operating vertically the bulb can cover a much larger amount of total area by incorporating a vertical scrog or coliseum style system. It could easily cover a circular area built around an unexposed bulb that was 15 feet in circumference and 3 feet tall, for a total growing area of 45 square feet. Nearly 2 times the coverage. Incorporate a cool tube and some ventilation and that area will rock your world.
There are a whole lot of ways to grow and everyone does it their way. Find what works for you best and own it.

i know thats what it really comes down to..5 per watt is a pretty pedestrian yield. It's really hard to calculate because of all the factors. Temps, fertilizer, medium, strains, location, etc. This question can't be answered well with a calculator or a third party. You'll just have to wait

...And yet you don't know what to expect to yield? Also you don't know what your Ph should be? https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/381986-water-ph-level.html
hmm...
Anyways, generally if you know what the fuck you're doing and conditions are excellent (also including genetics) - 2 lbs per 1000w

i run 2000 watt hps and found that plants on the outter edge 5 to 6 feet away from light seems to grow alot faster then ones directly under lights i always need to rotate

hmmm wrong i run vertical 1000 hps and get approx 7 pounds per 1000 watt useing Co2
BULLSHIT. I do not believe this please post pics to prove it other wise bullshit. Let me guess your camera doesn't work :/
I have ran MANy 4000watt -8000watt HID grows and the numbers your putting out there. Are next to impossible if possible at all.
SO please back up you claim all im asking

2.5 oz per plant
2.5 oz x 100 plants = 250 oz's
250oz's divideed by 16 ozs per pound
= 15.625 waa laaa
you can also figure 34 percent an up more yield running C02 so getting 3 ounces per pant is in range
which will yield you 18.75 pounds

Let me guess...you also ran the whole advanced nutrients line thus giving you 7lbs per 1000w...haha
Hmm dam i didnt take that into consideration. If that the case then never mind i believe ya LOL....
