11 1/2 ounces??????? What are you basing that on? 1 - 400w HPS in that little space and you think he'll be able to pull that much weight? If you pull that much weight I'm definitely doing a scrog next time.
That would be a remarkable grow for a single 400w HPS light.

I would say 6 or 7 would be a stellar performance for that light. a QP is an avergae amount from that size light. So if you can nearly double that by going scrog you've done EXCELLENT. But to triple that would be expecting too much.
I am running 2 400w's and I'm hoping to get 8 or 10, but I didn't scrog.
Any way you look at it this looks to be done to perfection. Perfect size, perfect fit, very efficient. Good work!

I yield more then double of my 2 400hps lights. Usually around 600 to 800gr dry.
Not scrog either and i veg nomore then 4-5 weeks from clones. I Keep around 3-4 plants under each light.

My last plant I flat scrogged I pulled 2.5 oz dry from. One plant in about 14x20 screen. The plant wasn't even in good health when I flowered it or it might have yielded more. His look f*&kin great compared to my first screen.
So far I have been impressed with the scrog technique very much. I am running a 14"x 39" dished (concave) screen now. I did not fill the whole screen this time either but I expect about 6 oz from this harvest.
I think scrog is a great way to increase yield in small spaces. I would like to get 1/2 lb out of my screen on the next go. your right... 11-12 oz would be a lot of bud for a screen his size, but more power to him if he gets that much. I say...5-8 oz

neevr did for my homeboy...he had some mid stroed for 2 months in tha freezer and shti was like some super potent god weed!
lol.
its good.

its good.
Don't freeze your buds, unless your gonna make hash from them. Freezing buds will solidify the trichs, and make them fall of much much easier. Thus whenever you handle the buds, or break em up, you will loose that much more thc.

That makes me more hopeful. I've been basically figuring on doubling, but I also figured it would help that light is additive and overlapping in the center. I'm looking at my grow (6 1/2 weeks in flower) and I'm having a hard time even making a guess at it.
I vegged 10 plants for 3 weeks, but the looked closer to what I would call 2 weeks veg. Slow starting clones.

Keep your lights close, use molasses and supplements during flower. Wait for the calyx to swell and become hard If you harvest to early you never get any weight and your buds will always be fluffy. I think those are some key things for yield. Good genetics is another, be picky...you wanna plant 10 cut 30 clones and select the best ones.
Just keep those lights close, its key for big buds and yield. Have a fan blowing between your plants and your lights to get rid of heat. Hope you nail it man!!
As for yield downhiller6325, man i hate to guess, but keep your lights close and let those buds get hard. You might surprise us all.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I run an A/C in my grow room so my lights stay about 8" off the tops of my plants throughout the entire grow. I'm planning on upgrading to dual 600's for my next grow in the fall. I don't flower during the summer due to higher temps...just too much to contend with for me and I run my household A/C all day every day and have to choose between my comfort and the plants and I choose my comfort.

Heres some more eye candy!!!
Hey there very nice set up you have. By the looks of these pics the hairs are mostly white, you want a brown reddish color. This will help determine the time needed to flower, the other is trics ; the shape and the color. A creamy white to amber color will indicate the bud is ready to be cut and cured.
So, from the look of it a min of two weeks is needed to be done, maybe longer. But this is a good thing the flower will start to get fat and juicy.
