What's the average yield for an outdoor grow in Socal?

i put 500 plants in a farm and 200 survived. theyre about 2ft right now and wondering what kind of yield i could expect. it's a wide variety of indica hydrids i think og strains. it's a bit of a gorilla grow we're using soil from the ground and water from a nearby stream.

not enough ... but if its sand . and you have water rights .... about 1/4lbs per plant. so less than my 10 plants well tended for...

what do you mean by not enough joe? i think we have water rights bc it's massive property in alpine california. the growers working on this say .5-1lb/plant. im just sponsoring the project lol but super curious how this might work out. i figure that bud wont be super great but im only paying for labor.

haha no cartel buddy. im in california dude, 200 plants is a tiny operation. also, we put female clones so no males. youre saying that the wildlife is a factor? like the farmers could be eaten like in the movie jurassic world? lol. not worried about hunters or helicopters, it's a legal grow.

If your in San diego county, do some research on drug task force. They will definitely disagree that your grow is legal. I'm a couple hills away from you and I avg between .5 &5 units a plant.. good to know I can hide behind your grow! Lols

lol guys funny. im not personally growing them. i manage a tiny nursery in the city, but this is our first grow. were partnering with a collective that paid an attorney for all the legal b.s. we have patients that routinely buy over 200 plants and so that's why i figured our grow was pretty tiny. i wanna post photos, but supposedly everything is semi hidden on the property. im not sure what that means bc i assume they still get good sun.

757? did you say .5 to 5 lb/plant? holy shit. is that a difference in strain? or timing? like when you planted them. if we get .5lb/plant ill be super stoked!

It's all about genetics, water, sun, soil, nutrients, training, support, maintaining a happy healthy plant. Without all of that 2/4 ozs each maybe.

I hope you can trust these people doing everything for you. There a lot of scammers who will run off with the bud last minute

guys i appreciate the feedback. actually i dont trust the guys much lol. i do know them and if they do rip me off it will actually hurt them more in the long run. i guess if people wanna rip people off and they can sleep fine it's hard to stop that. im the sort of person that believes in karma so i guess we'll. i know it's based on a lot, but i was curious if anyone in socal was doing something similar. the genetics are top notch, the plants were healthy. im surprised only 200 made it, but i guess theyre not trying to take special care of each.

obviously i hope it works out. i dont get the full the harvest, but i the fraction i do get of whatever you guys project would be super cool.

Are these people being paid well? if not...then...why would they care about the harvest? 2 out of 5 seems like no care was taken, thus...not paid well! no care in planting may mean little return in investment, meaning that a plant taken good care of could reach up to 5 pounds , may only yield 1/2 or 1/4 pound per plant... not counting pest or diseases
, which could wipe the whole thing out

Property size and location dont give you water rights. You may have access to play but i really doubt the water is legal. I was going to buy a house on the river but was told i could not take any water out. In shasta county i saw the neighbors get a fine and their truck, water tank, gas powered water pump and a few other items taken. Do you know how you are going to spray all those for bugs and mold? How you are going to stop deer? People already want to put meters on home wells, taking from the river has been illegal for a while im sure.

Cluster fuck is what comes to mind.
You start with 500 clones and 200 survive, that's a 60% kill rate. Who's caring for these plants to lose that many, and these are the same people that's going to get this grow to the finish line? And that's only issue #1 on your list, I see many.
Another fantasy grower standing in the background, growing 500 plants waiting for that money to roll in. They show up every year, get there ass kicked to learn lesson number one.... don't get greedy! You can have a crew, but you need to be involved with the project. Not sitting on your couch growing by cell phone.
Good luck,

200 plants for a handful of guys is NOT legal. Its greedy cash cropping, hoping to sell an inferioir product that they dont even know how to care for. The state is flooded with quality meds. Good luck moving your mass produced crap. In Sandiego county they go by the default 6 plants rule. Even listed as a caregiver for several patients, there are limits.

"According to the case of People v. Mentch (2008), primary caregivers must “prove at a minimum that he or she (1) consistently provided caregiving, (2) independent of any assistance in taking medical marijuana, (3) at or before the time he or she assumed responsibility for assisting with medical marijuana." Simply supplying marijuana and instructing a patient on the use of medical marijuana does not qualify a person as a caregiver.


Medical marijuana caregivers may assist more than one patient who is using medical marijuana, but if they are assisting more than one medical marijuana patient they must reside in the same county as all of their patients. Caregivers who have registered with the California Medical Marijuana Program may grow, transport, and cultivate medical marijuana on behalf of their patients, but may not use the medical marijuana themselves unless they, too, are qualified patients.


The amount of marijuana a caregiver can have is subjected to the same laws and local ordinances as patients of medical marijuana. The baseline standard in California, according to SB 420, is that caregivers may have 6 mature or 12 immature plants and 8 oz. of dried cannabis per patient. Individual cities and counties may allow greater amounts but cannot limit it to less than statewide guidelines. In addition, under Prop. 215, if a patient’s medical condition requires a greater amount of marijuana for effective treatment, the amount determined by a qualifying physician can be allowed, and this amount would apply to the caregiver as well."
