Step right up folks... Guess the correct final yield

I counted total watts on the plants between all the cfl's and the 2 Hid lights, I have 454 watts divided up between the 3 plants which gives me a little over 151 watts per plant. If I get 3 oz or 84 grams that puts me at a gram per 5.4 watts of power so I have a lot of work to do. I already have plans of doing a scrog for my next grow with 2 strains in mind, either Bomb THC Bomb or Reserva Privada Purple OG #18. Does anyone have any experience with either of these strains? If so what methods did you use, and what things did you notice about it?

Man flower them shit's for another 5 and a half weeks... You should get 7-8 Oz's.
Atleast 7 Oz's if you lettem finish out for recommended time.

7 OZ, you really think so ? Man that would be freaking awesome to pull that much. I've already decided I'm not gonna pull them till I see at least 30 to 40% amber trichomes, so I'll give them as much time as they need I just don't know about that much though. I just recently got the 250 watt light, the entire veg period was done with cfl's and a 100 watt Mh that probably doesn't put out as much as it supposed to. The tallest one is only 36 inches, we'll see, I'm hoping for the best.

3.5 oz at the most... if this were a 400 watt id say 8 easy. BUT 3 plants under a 250?:dunce: keep em going, trich color is a good gauge to tell when they are ready for harvest

Oh shit I thought he had 400 watt.
Anyways bro if its a 250 Watt looks around a Quarter Pound. Just keep them happy and dont anticipate to much or to little.

I'd say 4.5Oz's..

Yeah I have the 250 watt HPS plus a 100 watt MH and four 26 watt cfl's for a total of 454 watts of light. The HPS covers the tops the MH covers the left side and the 4 cfl's cover the right side. That's as good as having a 400 watt wouldn't you say? I think it should be better considering the light distribution.

Does anyone have any info on the Superthrive? Also I figured 454 watts split between three plants gives each plant 151 watts a piece. If you need to just go back and read the first post I have all the info of this grow in that post.

Took some close-ups of some of these beautiful frosty buds. Loving the frostiness and thinking it's only gonna get better. Really loving this grow!! BTW does anyone here use Superthrive? If so how often and at what strength?
Click to expand...
superthrive is best used to start plants and use after transplanting or when shock has occured. Some people say its not good to use when flowering. and strength you should follow instructions on the bottle. something like a couple drops per gallon.

it's kind of impossible to guess anyones yeild..even if i was able to come to your house and look at them i still wouldnt be able to guess your yeild.. noone can tell how dence the buds are from a pic..

no point worring about yeild anyway ,it will be what it will be ..

That's what makes it entertaining, to make an educated guess and find out who was closest.

Hello everyone,wanted to throw up some update pics. I have a little issue with Big Momma, I think it might be a Nitrogen def but I wanted to get some input before I took any action to fix the problem. Also I have a couple questions regarding hydroponics. I'm thinking of setting up a SoG hydro setup, basically see more buds volume #1 except a max of 50 clones at a time. So my questions are: Is there a cheaper setup for this amount of plants, if so, what is it? Can you go through a plants entire life cycle in a 2 inch pot ( I saw a plant on there produce 2 oz in a 2 inch pot). Basically I'm looking for a DIY aqua mist system for 50 plants can anyone point me in the right direction? Also look for the yellow leaves in regards to the possible N def, I bought one of those soil testing kits from lowes today and according to it I am low on Nitrogen and good on everything else, the Ph is @ 6.6 as of today.

Stay away from superthrive during flower. Plenty of other decent nutes without risk of frying your ladies.

You def have a N deficency but by the looks of things your girls are gettting close to being finished. Depending on how much time you have left you may not want to give them and N, it is natural and desired that your plants use up as much N as possible before harvest. I'd say if you have any more than 7-10 days to go go ahead and give them a LIGHT dose of N. Any less than that and by the time it is doing your girls any good you will be wacking em and left with bud that smokes harsh and tastes like crap. :-)

If I was you i'd break down and buy a bag of dry bat cave guano. With a high N content like 8-4-1. Then a bag of desert bat guano 3-10-1. Mix it with a banana peel and put it all in a 5 gl bucket. Put an airstone in it with a cover. I use a dark towel. Let it brew with water temps around 70 for a day. Then check it. Give it a stir and put it away again for another day. Stir it, strain it, then feed. I use a tsp of each guano per gallon of water. Depending on your nute regime it shouldn't be too strong. If you think it is dilute a little as needed. I don't ph any of this tea. I suggest you do the same. For me, this has been a good pick me up routine with my girls around week 5-6 in flower. And the grand total cash wise is under 20 bucks. And you'll have pleny left over for down the road. Good luck!
