First, A 1000w hydroponic system generally costs around $600. Second, you forgot about the curing process. A typical plant gets about 2 ounces cured from indoor growing since you are limited by height, 5 ounces if you are skilled at what you are doing. Outdoor you can have more than a couple of ounces, but their cultivation time is a bit longer, and this discussion is about indoors. The DEA says 1lb per plant yes, but that isn't your average home grower. (sauce from real growers: http://www.420magazine.com/forums/in...y-produce.html)

you are out of your mind. first of all, i'm speaking from experience, not some second rate magazine that caters to shitty ass companies like greenhouse and barneys farm.

second of all, i never said anything about hydro, however i imagine that if u were using hydro the yields would be greater than in soil.

third, you are correct, i did not mention drying curing. once you get the cycle going year round, you'll be fine. as you are prepping to cure most recent harvest, the nugs that had been in the jars will be ready for long term storage.

fourth, limited by height? do u live in a cave? you dont need more than 8 ft ceiling, assuming the light hangs two feet and is on cords or chains to adjust the height / distance. realistically you dont need the ladies bigger than 5 or 6 feet.

fifth, 2-5 ounces? if i only pulled 2-5 ounces from a plant i would put a fucking bullet through my head.

if you have a 1000w HPS, and you aren't pulling 1lb per plant (or very close, like 13-16 ounces) then you are either doing something horribly wrong, OR you are dealing with second rate plant genetics, like the garbage thats advertised in hightimes.


you want good breeders, go look at companies like Gage Green, Bodhi, E$ko, and maybe some Dankhouse or TGA.



edit: and yes, the lights are not cheap. bulb, ballast, reflector can easily run about 600-700 bucks. but you get your money back in the first grow, and that's not a ridiculous amount of money for a grown up to have anyways
