Do you top outdoor?

I'm with Bacala on this. Your yield is going to come from your thumb at that small pot size. I think you seriously need to think about a bigger pot size, your yield will increase for sure. In any case your medium, your nutes, and water frequency will also be large factors. Tell us what your using and your game plan on nutes
100 gallon fabric pots are a great way to go. I bet you could get a pound from a 55 gallon fabric pot.

Buddy, I don't think you are going about this the right way if you are just looking to increase your yield. You mentioned 3oz from eight colas so I think your effort would be better spent improving your grow overall. How large are the pots? What soil? Which nutes? How much sun exposure? Could be genetics, too.

I don't need a huge harvest so I grow in 10 gallon fabric with quality soil and MaxSea nutes, top twice for four mains and average more than 8oz per. Tell us what you've been doing and maybe we can help you fill those containers nice and full this fall.
It was in a 3 gallon pot outside. I have a 4 x 4 tent that I grow in and these are just to see what happens. :) This year they are 7 and 10 gallon pots and happy frog soil.

I like indoors a lot better but the sun is free. Tough call. :D And I learn with every planter pot grow on the deck. I get terrible sunlight on my deck because of trees but this year they are doing pretty good in veg.

I have a pair of 30 gallon pots I might pot up to. I need 4 more bags of happy frog!

I would definitely put them in the bigger pots, you will yield more for sure. Cut that happy frog with 1 bag of ocean forest, good stuff. I would go ahead and get them in they're final pot for the season now to avoid the hassle of transplanting big plants and cut down on shock, that's just my opinion. Good luck

I typically only do lst and average well over a pound a plant. Your yield is mainly going to come down to pot size. I wouldn't go below 45 gallons for outdoor, but that's just me. Seems pointless to do outdoor for small plants.
Duuuude I think we have the same girlfriend.
You guys need a girlfriend who grows; talks girlfriend sounds like my fiancé lol he grows but he doesn't like that I spend all my time with thebplants mostly lol

My gf thinks it is awesome.

And i am building a shelf on the deck to hold the big pots. Planting tomorrow into big pots. Why the fuck not.

But the 2 autos stay in the black pots.

I FIM and hst and lst, I need them short as possible so I don't get ripped again
That's how we guerilla grow em in central Maine , the sad truth is that people don't want to do the work themselves and they expect something for free so they steal your hard work and your Blood Sweat and Tears and it's sad but when you walk 30-90 min. Into the woods usually you find relatively safe spots to plant because rippers don't want to travel that far they just want something that's going to be an easy quick grab

I do things deep in the woods guerilla Style and I also do some Urban growing guerilla Style and it's a hit or miss sometimes they get to harvest sometimes they don't but I've noticed that even sometimes in the most obvious of places where you think they would get ripped off they don't because no one is looking there or expecting them to be there !!!!

Or maybe I'm just extremely lucky because I've only ever had a problem with rippers once in my entire 18 years of growing and it hurts to lose the crop

Abandoned farmhouses and warehouses and commercial land and properties can be a blessing in disguise ! I have an old warehouse I go to every year because it's abandoned and one year I placed a bet on it and went back at the end of the year to harvest the five plants I put in and now I've gotten so comfortable with the location that I was doing 25 there every year but this year I'm probably doing 30-40 in that one location

I don't see the point. It's just more work when you can just plant more and do less visits.

I do just fine , I do my homework on my locations and I only use locations with Rich native soil because not only am I in remission from cancer and don't have the energy I used to & throughout all my injuries over the years I ain't luggin tons of dirt I'd rather bring in some blocks of Coco and some water storing crystals and some amendments and my plants do just fantastic locally

I personally Grow about 10 huge plants (Moms put outside) & 100 or so clones & 100 or so seed plants I bred myself out every year all throughout the year so I have early season mid-season and late-season plants of all sizes so I do pretty good. ...

I'm Thinking of Starting a Guerilla Growing Thread for my Exploits this year

I'm not sure if you disagreeing with me or what mate.

Each to their own, we all use different techniques. I just plant and leave, simple.

I have done that Happy Frog/FFOF mix in the past and it worked very well.
