Are my yields well below par for 200w CFL - happy but think I should get better

keep your lights close, don't over water or over feed use molasses, and you can do it no prob. stay high

thats a decent yield, bulb spacing during flower is key. If your bulbs arent spaced you get a few huge buds instead of a lot of medium sized ones. increasing watts is a easy way to up the yield most likely. Perlite is very important in soil and i might go as far as to say you would of had a small increase in bud, because your plants would have more air traveling to the roots it probably would of gotten a bit larger. but honestly you got 2 and a half-3 zips under 200 true watts which people would usually laugh and say you might pull a couple grams from all plants.

Thanks!! That's cheered me up! However I'm a UK grower, and not sure what you mean by a zip? With this later grow, the plants are right up inside the reflector of the large bulb, with a 30w either side to even it out a bit! I'm hoping with this grow to get 14g per plant, but that mite be a bit hopeful!

zip is slang for oz. rotate your plants a 1/4 turn every day to "spread" the light a little more evenly. does that make sense? stay high

How long did you veg them for? You could also try to go bigger next time.

I have limited veg light, so can take a while, but generally veg to between 8-12", as I like to keep th plants small and get the most from the CFL's.
I've had a little go at LST, and this harvest is the Topping test run. Maybe for the next grow i'll veg a bit more, or go all out on the LST

Hey hey,
I think you need to trim them a little more as well. If you look at Hettymans plants they didn't have all the big fan leaves. I would say it's too late now, but when you are harvesting your girls take a look at which branches produced decent buds and which were a waste. I cut fan leaves all along thru veg, not all of them but if they start getting big or shading too much, gone. Plus the lower branches are often a waste, I just cut them. If not they will grow way out to get light, good for clones though.
and CalMag....it's gold
I would say my keys to success are, genetics, Scrog, Trimming, CalMag, and DWC.
Cheers,
