Hey RUI, first post here. Long time lurker and info seeker. Right now I am running a 1k HPS aircooled hood and a 1k MH cool tube with reflector. 24 plants in a 6.5x6.5 tent. 8in canfan, 8k btu single hose portable AC unit in the tent. 3 and 5 gal pots with FFOF. 3 weeks into flower. Feeding twice a week, started with FF big bloom, today they got there first taste of tiger bloom. Feeding nutes everyother watering. PH is 6.1. Veg time was about 4 weeks from seeds (15 from seed and 9 from clone). Veg was done under 1000 watt MH, just added the additional 1000 watt HPS yesterday (3-4 weeks into flower). Temp stays at about 70 all the time. Did a mix of topping, LST, lollipoping and topped+lst one of my white widow. Strains are white widow, NL, LA purp, pineapple chunk, green crack, urkle, 9lb hammer, candy land, GSC, gscXurkle, cheese, ken dog, GDP and Chem dog. This variety of statins made it very hard to establish an even canopy and the range of flowering times is going to be interesting to say the least. Lesson learned. Today I was told by a commercial grower that I can expect a yield of about 6-10oz tops. I strongly disagree with his observation. Im thinking more along the lines of 24 oz. I will post pics when I get home. Oh and I plan on adding co2 tomorrow (co2 bags because I am on a budget right now). Any advice and observations will be taken with open arms and an open mind!

Six to ten sounds right to me
If that's the outcome, I will take it with a grain of salt, learn from my shortcomings and still enjoy a nice couple jars of Dank's 
. at 6 ozs, that would be roughly 7 grams a plant. They are currentley at an average of 18 inches after being switched to 12/12 about 24 days ago. Isn't 7gs a plant roughly the equvelence of SOG numbers? I would have vegged longer then 3 weeks however I need to harvest in October due to the fact that I have a child on the way at the end of October and am going through an absolute finical crisis. Considering I am running 2k watts I expected a much larger yield they what is being speculated, but I guess I need to take a step back reevaluate somethings. At this point how beneficial would running co2 be?

Co2 bags are retarded
So invest in a regulator with tanks possibly? I have about a very tight $200 budget right now, can't work and haven't been able to for awhile due to a broken leg. Considering riding out the flowering period with AN, that was what my commercial grower buddy recommend. Would another 1k of light be substantially beneficial? I feel like that is way to much light for the tent I am currentley in, however I have a 10x10 guest room not in use and a 20x20 ft grage which I could section off around 10x5 off (if I was to get another 1k HPS), but if it would not make much of a difference in yield then I wouldn't bother, considering my budget and all.....

If you hadn't had to flower early they would have come through with a much greater yield. The is a fair amount of space between the plants that would have been taken up if the plant were vegged longer. Sounds like you did the right thing and next time hopefully it will all get dialed in time wise. From what I see, you have some real nice healthy plants. Enjoy the smoke...

If u wanna harvest that twenty something you're after you need to fill the canopy
