hey guys this is my second grow I was just wondering if you guys could give me any tips on what I can do or what I should do to make this plant yield more? I grow under 1000 watts both LED and CFL. I grow it in a grow tent the humidity is anywhere from 35-55% and tenpature is 74-84 degrees. I feed it every other day and I feed it miracle grow all purpose nutrients every other feed. Thoughts and feed back would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!9CCF365E-BB41-4449-B89B-9A3227DA40D7.jpegCCDEB56B-42BB-43D5-A049-E2570F4305FE.jpegDE86B4E9-0500-457E-BA34-013DA008931F.jpeg2C431CE7-BB8C-49CE-8C84-3C8327B0D099.jpegAA33FA95-F727-40CE-BD43-B593F4609A5F.jpegB03F0A2B-08B1-42D4-960D-24E8E28CE3E6.jpeg

My suggestion is better lighting, better quality nutes, and not sure what your medium is but consider coco.
As Joey says, they will be fattening up. What is the strain, you can research strains and get an idea of yields from different strains. What size is your tent, what is the air setup?
I’m growing in a pro mix soil I have no idea what strain it is It’s just a seed I found from a bud, my grow tent is 4ft by 4ft and 5 and a half feet tall. I am drawing in air through a 240 CFM air duct inline fan from the bottom and exhausting air through another 240 CFM air duct inline fan out the top.

Looks cool, I’d suggest using a more nutritional medium when starting as pro-mix is just dirt with some beneficials. Prune them up a bit, and gently open your plant to allow light penetration through your canopy. Change you’re nutes, MG is crap in a bottle.. no pun intended. Looking above par nonetheless, you should have a nice crop!

EDIT: Try a breathable fabric pot next time. More oxygen for your root zone / proper drainage will definitely enhance your quality and yields.

I ordered some advanced nutrients bloom yesterday so that should be in by Monday I’m not quite sure how well this nutrient works as I’ve never done my research but it’s ment for the flowering stage so I’m hoping it increases yield and growth

Gently pull the branches out further to open her up. You can use garden canes horizontally between branches.
Feed a bit less.
Get your head around the fact you are not using 1000w of light. Its 250w plus some cfl
But you are doing very well with what you have!
Right now I’m using the mars hydro ECO 98 600w LED and I have 4 100w cfls, if I ordered another mars hydro ECO 98 do you think this would be enough light for 1-2 plants,

to be fair mate you should not waste your money on them lights maybe sell them and get a quantum board if its only 1 or 2 plants you wont need a very expensive 1. or even a 250w hps

Their line is solid, but in my opinion there are too many bottles, and it's quite expensive. Just follow their feed schedule on their site or phone app, and you should be fine. The schedules are usually created by master growers and have multiple levels of difficulty fit for any grower.

So yesterday I was pruning up the plant a bit and trying to open the canopy, I accidentally cracked one of the stems of a main cola, the cola is still attached but it has a split in it, does anyone have any advice what I should do, it seems fine like it’s not hanging or anything. I’m just worried it won’t recover because I’m already 3 weeks in to flowering.

I'd just carry on. Can't always have a perfect setup. Have to learn as you go. If anyone could answer this for me. What ever happened to just plain ol potting soil? Does having something other then dirt make that big of a difference?

Use electrical tape to shore it up
It will heal even in flower
