Yield x 9 feet plant?

[Mygo]

Hey guys, i know it's bad juju to count your yield before you
harvest but i got curious with this one mystery seed i planted in the beginning of july. She's 9-10 feet tall (around 3 meters), 4 to 5 weeks into flowering. I applied schw..azzing i guess was the name? Didnt topped her due to lack of space.
LSTed her from time to time and applied homemade fertilizer (plant teas and manure). All that's left are bud sites that look promising to me, plus little leaves that i left to let her absorb the light. I'm using blackstrap molasses in this last period and i wanted to ask if and how much you think she will keep growing.
The plant looks like a sativa and i'm guessing she will flower for at least a month or so?

11 pounds easily

 

[See green]

About a pound.

 

[Mygo]

About a pound.

Let's hope so, thank you for your reply!

Hope you don't get cold Autumns where you live. Sativas have more like a 10 to 12 week flowering period, on average, and with that level of defoliation you're not speeding things up any. On the plus side she looks happy enough, and being that tall should have a decent yield. Good luck.

One metric ton.

I wouldn’t have high expectations, those lanky Charlie Brown types don’t always yield well. I have 1 right now 7ft tall, only difference is I fimmed mine and have 4 main colas vs 1. A tiny bit of rain the other night and it was hanging over the fence from the weight of the small amount of wet bud. But let us know how it goes.

My random guess is 4-5 ounces

Nice thing is it's easier to dodge rot with lanky plants. Yield does suffer though, I agree.

I’m assuming because of the air circulation moving about vs the hard compact indica buds that soak up water like a shamwow.

Bud density has a lot to do with it. Just had to pull a plant early because of rot. This had PLENTY of circulation. Gave half of it away. This is what I kept. Out of these 4, I'll be lucky if I can keep half the weight after I cut rot. About a month or more early. Still useful for some concentrate...

Shit that sucks man, that looks like it spread like the plague. Luckily your able to get something out of it, but I’m sure time + effort involved it doesn’t balance it out.

Under the sun, so I just amend the soil, plant the seed and let nature do the rest. Still sucks.

Last 2 weeks have been rainy and humid, so it hit hard and fast. PM has been manageable though.

Don’t strip the fan leaves so hard my guy .
Looks like 6 oz and change

Maybe i could tie some rope from the branches to the main stem.. and from the stem to some pillars? I tried to increase the air circulation by purpose since i heard it can increase yields by pollination. I'll update, the LST and stress i applied on her seem to have made the branches sturdied, and most buds aren't developed from nodes, but from other small branches grown from the big ones. I have some other 40 plants (small, bushy) , but i really felt proud of this one and i thought i could pull out some quantity.

It was a dry year with mild temperatures, i heard this autumn will be similar and i'm hoping for the best! The defoliation was mostly an experiment, i'll see if it was the right thing to do after harvesting. Plus i had a problem with leaf miners which i hardly managed

Thank you sir!

And thank you too! I don't think it will be that low since it's still in early flower, but it could be possible, better be ready for the worst.

And i'm sorry for your loss. That is bad luck indeed, those colas were huge. We got a sunny year in eastern EU, i think it rained 2 or 3 rains this summer. Hope you'll pull out what you need.

I still left some where i couldn't reach the plant, i guess that's why she grew so tall i'll just keep in mind if it wont bring any benefit at the end of the harvest, and give up on defoliation next year.
As i said, it was an experiment.
I saw pros and cons about "schwazzing" but less people that tried it. So i thought i'll do it.

Fan leaves are like a nutritious holding tank for plants . If you strip them all you drastically reduce yeild and make it hard to tell what fertilizer you should feed . Ed rosenthal has experimented heavily with it indoors and out and drawn the conclusion that it helps very little and makes it harder for the grower .
