he's new to sog too lol, but he has grown 50 1 meter high plants in 3gal pots and soil under a
600w lamp with nutes except that was in a big room "so he has a little experience",
he would be greatful for any advice to help him with his plan and limits thanks again.

well its hard to say what you'll yeild w/o the name of strain, the only prob i see is going to be heat - vent issues, i got a 400w hps in a 4X8X9 closet, w/ an ac vent & 2 16" fans, & my temps can get to 90. for such a small space, i would make sure there is great ventilation, 1 to suck hot air out & 1 to pull cool fresh air in, for best yeilds try researching SOG grows, & LST (LOW STRESS TRAINING), i think you'll get better yeilds w/ an HID light, if you cant do hid b/c of heat & vent issues then use cfl's. & i would veg them longer 4wks+. also look into topping & fimming (FIM), & supercroping. also maybe try to use a lower wattage hid & suppliment w/ cfl's. the only limits i see is heat & vent issues & i dont think you'll get a kilo per plant no matter how much light. co2 during flowering will increase yealds, & molassas will make the buds swell too, use @ rate of 1-2tsp per gallon of water durin flowering. (unsulferized molassas)
