One pound harvest?

Just wanted some input from the experienced super soil/ organic growers out there.
I have 2 beautiful girls that I'm trying to obtain a pound from. Originally wanted a lb per plant. But im thinking a pound between the 2 of them is more realistic. I'm running them under a mars hydro tsl2000w LED. I have them in a 2x4 AC infinity grow tent. Using a super soil and have just transplanted them into 20 gallon cloth/aero pots, sub feeding them with fish emulsion. They have had explosive growth and just reached week 10 of veg, with at least 30 main tops per plant. (Close to 100 tops total per plant) Approximately 20 inches tall at the moment. Am I on my way to a one pound harvest? If not what can I do to increase my chances of pulling it off.
(Also having problems uploading a pictures to riu?) Not sure why?

Pics? Would help. But you won’t hit a pound depending on a few factors.
 
Hi
Not a soil grower, but I looked up that light
Its 300watts true output. Not sure what diodes they are but You'd need to pull a smidge over 1.5grams per watt to achieve a lb.
Now if your plants are healthy all the way, and in ideal conditions, you can achieve this if NONE of your light is wasted on the floor.

Make sure you utilize every bit of that light and you can achieve 1lbs.
It won't be easy ! You probably won't get to 1lb but know it is possible.

You will not achieve your goal of one lb. In a 2x4 tent with mentioned light in " super soil "
You need more space and more intense lighting to accomplish your goal.

I've been looking into getting a tent thats taller. I'm limited when it comes to horizontal space. But I also have a second tsl2000 that I can put in there to double my light output. Also considered sub/ side lighting to help undergrowth as my canopy is THIC
 
Ok so finally managed to upload an older picture from about a week ago. This is just one of my girls, the nicer of the two. Both of them are white rhino, and were monster crop clones. Better pictures will come later tonight.

The height of your plant doesn't really dictate your yield.
It's how efficiently you're converting all that light energy into mass.
2 extreme examples.
Instagrammer "northern scrogger" gets 1lbs+ plants that are like 3 inches in height lol
Ttystikk on these forums gets 1lbs+ from like 3sqft of floor.
 
I'd be more concerned about getting those plants healthy and keeping them healthy until harvest than the final amount you're going to get. You'll get what you'll get.

Right now you have plants with yellowing burnt tips and a bunch of messed up leaves. That's the priority you should be focusing on. Not whether you'll get a pound.
 
I was gunna say pretty crispy. Plants. What recipe soil are you working with?
And to be realistic with led 1 gram a watt might be achievable. But your only working with 8 sq foot. So you gotta manage your expectations. My guess is your looking at 4-6oz a plant

I know they weren't looking the greatest. They were perfect until about 2 weeks ago. My water ph and tds was slightly high, and the nitrogen was a little high because of the emulsion, and I had a slight case of salt buildup that I removed and flushed durring transplanting. I have since invested in a 5 part reverse osmosis water filtration system. I've corrected the ph issue and cut back on the amount fed per week since the soil is already nutrient rich. they have since recovered, resumed regular growth and color. The picture was older and the yellowing was old growth. Here's some updated pics..

I posted above the reasoning for the crisp. It was fixed a little over a week ago, they have since recovered. I also posted updated pics taken today.

I have 2 2x4 tents. If I start to scrog them now and separate them one in each 2x4 tent would a pound be more attainable?

Be careful. Ro water needs extra attention
