How much do you harvest from each plant?

hmm, I must be doing something wrong because I get at least 4 lbs or more per plant outdoors......

ymmv

I call bullshit......4lbs wet maybe, if you weighed the plant, stems, leafs and all.


You would need a fucking Massive plant vegged for like 6 months to get 4 lbs of dried herb.

Northern california people regularly get 4-5, and I've heard of 7lbs per plant outdoors. That was someone who is a professional though, it's all they do all day. 15-20ft plants aren't unusual.

I didn't get anywhere near that this year. My 2 plants growing under my prescription look like they will yield about 2lbs, which is covered by my state/county law.

Well, the whole idea and benefit of growin outdoors is so you get a long veg time. I know of guys who grow outdoors, using scrog methods and hydro additives and they get easy 4lbs dried. Hell, peeps I know get 3lbs off of indoor hydros.

Forgot to add that if you listen to advanced nutrients's ad copy for connoisseur you can get between 2-3lbs per light

They're about 3' tall when they go in the ground and top out around 12' and about 10' in diameter.
I've been doing this strain for 5yrs now and I've consistently gotten 4 lb DRY yields per plant. 25 plants......100+ lbs. no bullshit. Most are planted in the ground others in 100 gal pots. All organic. Full sun.

I'm sorry you can't believe me, but this is how we roll in NorCal :joint:

I can believe the 4 lb. outdoors. as I know ppl will regularly take 1 lb. plus outdoors in my area w/o doing anything special on 8 or 9 foot tall chrismas tree plants. I'm sure if someone had a hi producing strain & really took care of it & gave it the attention an indoor grow gets they could get 4 lbs. I've seen pics in magazines of plants that are so big i could easily see being big enuf to support 4 lbs. What I don't get is 3 lbs. off an indoor grow. Yes I can see 3 lbs. off an idoor grow in whole but i don't see 3 lbs. off 1 plant indoors. of course it is possible, i'm sure if someone could put unlimited light & resources toward a plant w/ nothing but a goal of making the most weight off that plant then yes it's possible. But wicked inefficeint. I would venture to guess the resources that would need to be put toward making 1 plant grow to yield 3 lbs. could instead be put toward making many plants grow 12 lbs. in the same ammount of time. As for AN saying you can grow 2-3 lbs. per light, well 2 lbs is certainly possible I understand using good nutes, like AN, as that would be just a 'lil over 1 gram/ watt which is a standard for excellent grows as I hear. But 3 lbs. per light??? well maybe it could be done on a 1000 watt light, but i just haven't heard of it yet. Again, according to the posts AN is talking about per light & not per plant.

3lbs per plant is doable. But like you said above, it takes alot of resources. You need things like 90 litre pots, massive lighting and ventilation, use of the best nutes and addatives and the proper veg time all rolled up in a Scrog grow.
These guys will put 1800 W over each plant. Lighting is the major factor here. You must remember it takes 70,000 lumins per pound. A top of the line 600 W globe will give you 90,000. A good 1000 W will give you 130,000 Lumins.
LIGHT = YIELD

hey guys this is my first post but im a long time reader. im going to get a grow on in my shed. its roughly 8ft x 10ft (but only about 6ft tall) ive ordered my stuff (im a bit tight so i may have cut a corner or 2) ive got 2 1000w sodium related lamps comin, im very well educated on the actual subject of growing and nurturing the plant but one thing stumps me....yeild.
heres some other variables
ill have covered the whole grow room in reflective plastic sheeting.
i will have an A/c unit keeping temperatures at about 62 / 64 degrees F
i am growing in soil with no hydro.
i will be growing "big bud"
i will have 2 normal fans. circulating aswell.
i will be using the right nutes for diff stages and also the different lotions and potions to help the plants durability, hardness, and YEILD
the shed is just a normal garden shed (wooden)
there are so many different views but from that i could get 3oz a plant (WET!!!! - which to me sounds like a waste of time!) or up to 4lbs per plant dry which will be like more profitable than any other busniess in the world lol. thatd mean for like 1000 quid layout id make over 20000 every 2 months (IF i were to sell it) im really excited. i want to get 10 plants in there (as i think the space i have is perfect for 10ish plants and obviously seeds come in 10s lol)

PLEASE some imput would be really appreciated as i dont quite know what im getting myself in for and ill abandon the project and make a bansai big bud plant in a cup and its only light will be the odd flash of a zippo lighter if the yield just isnt worth the time n effort.......i got 3 kids and a 50hour a week job thaty need my attetion aswell as "my pretties" lol

peace out toking world!

I know this post is old, but harpz brought this back to life so might as well contribute :hump:

I veg mine for a month under 400wMH then for flowering 400w HPS. I normally get about 3-4 Oz per plant of dried and cured dank buddage. It really depends on the strain traits...My last few grows were just under what the breeder listed as the yield. There are alot of factors that take time and experience to learn, but once you get dialed in, its not too hard to get some good yields. I grow in 2gal containers and pull that much :hump:

boneman thats the best advice ive had since bein addicted to scowerin the net for tips hits and how to's. so if i get 10 pots on (BIG POTS) get 3 or 4 oz off each one im lookin at a kilo by the end of it? but if i leave my 1kw sodiums till the veg, and invest in a couple of halide ones for the flowerin i should be sound. my theory is if it says 8-9 weeks give them 4 for flowerin, 5 for veg, then about 5 days of 12/12. seeins as my lamps are a basically twice as powerful.....could i be aimin at 2kilos?
by the way mate really appreciate the help...i know its out there already but nice for a toker to put it to me in a way i'll understand lol

yeah mte thanx a lot ur a legend. so iff 10 plants you would harvet roughly a kilo.
if im packin 2x1000w and use the same sorta process i should expect twice as much(ish)?
also i plan 4 week flower....5week veg...and about 5 days of 12/12
does this sound "2 thumbs fresh"
thanks for sortin me out mate uve put it in a way i understand....toker to toker

thats an exceptional yeild is there a trick,i got 2 400w and a 600w hps veg my plants under cfl's and for now i got 50g of one of the plants in a 3gallon pot under the 600w unde the 400w in 2 gallon pot i get 30-40g

the pots are small. the roots dont get much space to grow and deep, long roots make for a tall, strong, healthy plant. also the cfl's probbably arent the BEST choice of light for the veg BUT im sure using bigger pots / containers would make a severe difference. you can get 10g or 20g tubs / pots........even if you have to steal old screenwash drums or gasoline drums etc etc...... trash cans and bins are also like fairly big so they are a good scroungers choice also. keep the current pots and as the plants get bigger give them more space for the roots to grow. also dont water them too much as the further the roots have to grow to find water the better.
