Predicted Yield?

[EmmysRevenge]

sorry boys. but if that is three months old there is a serious problem there.

This is my first grow, I was imagining it would take a bit longer than usual just getting used to how to set up the plants. But the creator of the strain told me it would take about 4 months, so it seems I am only a few weeks behind it. I originally started in the solo cups with cheap soil. Moved to organic to transfer them to the buckets because I realized my error in this. I am pretty sure this is what slowed it down because I have another generation that is taking half the time to get to the size they are at now.

I think by "Sodium" they meant Hps, but I'm not sure.

I think you have at least 60 days to go. And if that is a HPS you will get much more than a half zip a plant, probably at least double that *depending on conditions and strain of course

It's really the only light with the word sodium in it you use for this type of growing. So I figured most people would get it. But yes, it is a HPS. I agree with the more than half a zip. I mean they are lanky but they are double the size of a garden I saw growing way more than that each plant.

he has them under a 600 watter,he should get alot more than 15 grams a plant.im not really liking that foil on the walls,and that dodgy looking reflector tho.
but with that setup and it being your first grow,i reckon you'll get atleast 1.5 Oz from each plant.

Yes, very dodgy looking reflector. Very. I just haven't been able to afford to set up anything different. I thought doing something was better than nothing.

the more you worry about yields the less yields you are gonna have. best way to increase your yield now is
1. top your plants...
2. veg your plants longer
3. scrog your plants
4. give them 1200-1500ppm of co2
5. adequate nutes and h2o and pH(gradually raise nutes to max threshold)
6. adequate air (size of your room x2 is how much air should be moved)
7. Lighting (3000Lumens for basic/ 6000 for great results)
8. patience.... (this means stop fucking your plants when it doesn't need to be fucked)

I wasn't sure of topping so I only did it to one. There is one in the back that now has two tops. I will be doing this to all of them next time. They have the adequate air. I'm sure they don't have the right amount of lumens, I have been trying to reflect, reflect and reflect, so it has as much as I can give it right now. I don't really mess with them too much other than watering them. And they were vegged for quite a bit, they are round abouts 2 feet tall, maybe a wee bit bigger.

lol its impossible to say how much you are going to average. I am just glad to get more than a fucking gram lol. But then again i have a farm at my place, like 20 plants going at once and as soon as one is harvested plant another asap so i basically harvest every month now. Oh and i would say about 1-3oz depending on nutes, strain, lighting, and love =)

 

[YouSmoke?]

holy balls that reflector looks like a huge fire hazard bro.

 

[EmmysRevenge]

You should yield around 2 lbs minimum per plant.

I'm not really sure if you are joking with me, seeing as it is a incredible difference from what everyone else is saying, but I thought 1.5 OZ was really low balling it. These plants are 2ft+, I have seen a smaller one produce much more than 1.5oz. So... it would be great if it were more, it seems like a whole lot of effort for not much return other than free pot. I'm looking to open a business soon.

It's lined in foil, no part of the paper gets anywhere near the bulb. The first day I put it up I came back in the room every 30 mins making sure it wasn't getting too hot. I think I am going to replace it with something else that won't be so fire hazardish seeing as tomorrow is pay day. Lol.

Double sided tape and emergency blankets work good for cheap wall coverage and hold less heat then that foil. I got a 12pak off amazon for $12 free shipping the tape it the expensive part around $5 a roll might need 2 blankets and 2 rolls to do that area or just use a staple gun. Also if you cut up a milk jug or plastic pop bottle they work good as buffers and makes the blanket a little less likely to tare spreads pressure around the staple instead of being only focused at staple. I like them a lot i know they arne't as good as some other coverages but 12 bucks will do that grow at least 6 times 5-10 bucks in tape each time makes it cheap to clean between grows or on a monthly schedule. Im sub'd up buddy looking forward to the show Do you ph your water/feed mixes try to get up a pic of your plants when the hps is off maybe take them in the bathroom or something so we can see in blue light hard to see in that hps but i love HPS bud porn.

Thank you for all the advice, I will post non hps pics when they dawn again. There asleep right now.

I actually thought the plants look pretty healthy. They may not be as big and full as some at that age, but still look cared for. A real reflector should definately be your next upgrade. In fact if you aren't able to get one it might be better to hang the lamp vertical and surround it your plants. You'll make more use of the light.

Um idk if you are joking but opening a business with three plants isnt going to get you very far. If you want to really make a 1lb a plant then buy a 1000watt hps and put lymar all over your shit get the advance nutes recipe and eyeball your plants like a hawk. Otherwise no the size doesnt matter of the plant if the sunlight cant penetrate it and nut in it. I have had a 3 foot tall plant but was using 400watt cfl. only got about 3oz dry. Hps will get you 3oz minimum if done right. If you want to step your shit up get bubbleponics in the works 1000watt hps and nutes and u have 1lb plants all day =)

I don't have 3 plants. They're are seven at this height and 6 babies at a month old. I am wanting to use some type of hydroponics, and will be doing so my next planting once I receive some type of moola from the first plants. I just looked at a site for bubbleponics and am deff intrigued. I will check it out. Thank you for the advice. I really want a lb a plant. Bad.

How would I go about putting it vertical? Like just to one side? I was wondering how I could get more light to the center without having to buy another hps. They're not cheap. Also, with the nutes and whatnot, does anyone know if the dried ice works? Like letting it react within the closet?

 

[NWMED]

is aluminum foil as bad as people say or can u get by with it if youre a cheapie

Cheap way is a $15 gallon of flat white paint. Bathroom mold resistant type.
*NEVER USE FOIL!! IT WASTES MORE LIGHT THAN IT REFLECTS!*

7 plants at a average of 2 ozs. each. = 14 ozs.
To expect more than this is not being realistic being a beginner.
Just not going to get a pound a plant without a whole lotta lights and a warehouse. A lb. a plant takes a lot of elbow room. With 7 plants , you will be lucky to get a lb. per harvest total.

Too True!!! ^this advice sums it up perfect

wooaaaaaa, you got some problems bro, seek advice.

I'm sorry I forgot to clarify that yes I was being a smart ass b/c yield is about impossible to determine just by looking at a photo. Especially one that is only two weeks into flower. You just have to be patient and wait the time and then you will know the exact yield.

lol so true. Like everyone is saying man dont worry about yields cause in the end your going to end up with a gram if you start stressing that plant. I would just learn all i can and next time do it better. Once you have done your grows like 6 times + you yourself can determine how much your own plants will give off. Mine started at 1-2oz a piece. After i did some upgrades, played around with nutes formula, and now i have it down to 6oz a plant
