What CAN I expect as far as yield and height?

Feel free to quote any of my posts as I am here to help those who are serious about the growing and using of Marijuana particularly for medicinal purposes. My screen name is CaretakerDad because that is what I am. I have an adult daughter (26) who contracted Guillane-Barre 4 years ago, an autoimmune disease that nearly took her life. She was paralyzed from the neck down for 6 months but has recovered to the point where she uses a cane to walk and is going to grad school next year as a physical therapist.

That out of the way, I have a degree in biology, minor in chemistry and have been growing for nearly 25 years. I am an Oil maker who donates his product to cancer patients. When children like you and KushClouds420 start posting in serious forums where people take their time and effort to help others, it just pisses me off. The only "useful" information you need is contained in my last post, get out of your mothers basement and grow one plant.

Wow that's a little harsh man. He has questions that's ok, hes starting up and we were all there at one time. We all needed help wiping our ass at one point and now were pros at it. Its a forum and honestly I expect 20 more threads with question on every week of his grow, I did the same thing and that's what RIU is about, giving advice. If you don't like his questions skip it go to the next one my friend, but I will help him with every question he has to the best of my abilty and he will one day do the same for someone else.

Check his posts, he's doing nothing more than trolling and wasting space

I have never trolled on these forums. I've only asked questions as is this not a growing forum where they have a subsection titled "newbie central"? If you cannot ask random "noob" questions HERE without getting responses from assholes like you. Where CAN I ask them then? Just ignore me like you said you were going to, I don't see why you act like my threads direct their questions for you to answer with quoting my first post.

In my first post $1k was my budget, I have since passed $3k in leds alone.... In my first post I had planned to use a ipower 400w light system, that is not the case anymore. In my first post I was going to use a single tent, I now have plans to build a room and have two tents within it. As you can see, my first post has nothing to do with my current plans so bringing it up is not useful to anybody

can I ask a some questions please, how much do these blackstar led systems cost and how many plants are you going to grow under how many of these?. I got 2 - 2.5 ounces each off my 4 critical kush hempy/lst same veg time under 400w mh/hps on my first grow with a few issues.

For accurate retail price you can check amazon. But after tax I paid around $600 a pop. I know I could have gotten some area51s or blackdogs, but I had a amazon gift card balance which was going no where and decided to just purchase these.

I don't really care if you bash me for spending money on these blackstars. I would have 100% gotten something else if I COULD have. What else could I have spent an almost $5k gift balance on (No, that's not what I spent on the leds). I got 6 of them. They cover a supposed 4x3 area. (The question is *I* could have spent, I do not have use for what others would have bought with that money like game consoles, tvs, laptops, etc. I am pretty set on personal items.)

So one for my veg tent (4x2), and 4 for my flowering tent. haven't bought the flowering tent as I am still looking for the optimal dimensions by as of now I plan to get a 6.5x6.5x6.5 one. 8x4 would had been perfect, but it wouldn't had fit in my desired grow space (the way I wanted it). That's 5 leds that would be in use at all times, and a spare should one blow or something.

As far as plants go, I can fit 8 within my veg tent. One space would be for my aerocloner, and a second for a mother of my "best" strain. I *MIGHT* end up expanding to a second 4x2 veg tent, and have only my mothers in one tent, and have seedlings in the second. So in the beginning I would have 6 in the veg tent at all times, and 12 in the flower tent at all times. Should I get the second veg tent going, I would have 8 in veg, and 16 in flower.

NOTE: These are all ESTIMATES. I do not plan to have this up and running in full force in the beginning. Most likely start with 4 at first (one of ea strain). Once again this will be a perpetual grow.

Debating, I was going to just use this account to ask my questions and once I had the process down, never login again or make a new account and simply browse. Don't want to get busted when I have almost every single other factor down by posting pictures online lol.

Your not going to get much at least look at it that way if you do great for you. But its highly unlikely! u will get if your lucky a half p per light. Everyone is like 2 ozs per plant na . possible but i wouldn't bet the farm on it some of your strains will need much more time then 8 weeks .u fucked up u should have grown one beginner strain! So right off the bat your already wrong with your 8 week flowering time. Are your seeds feminized?

Yeah I'm not taking advice from you when you can't don't even take the time to read the original post.... Seeds are fem, answered in original post. And I plan to grow one of ea the first grow (check stains on original post). If I plan to have 4 plants under each light in my flowering tent (ea one covers 12 square ft), and they pull in half a pound (8 ounces), that would still be 2oz per plant. I don't think you read my other posts either. I will have two tents, one for veg and one for flowering. The flowering tent being twice the size of veg tent. With a 4week veg,and 8 week flower, that would be on AVERAGE I would have a certain amount of plants being ready to harvest every 4 weeks AFTER the first grow.

certain amount being 4 in the beginning, then 6. Possibly 8 if I get another veg tent going. So I would need to start a new batch of seedlings every 2 weeks if I want them to go from clone to seedlings.

EDIT: I forgot you were the one I "confused". When I say clone to seedlings, I meant I will cut a clone of a mother, put it into my aerocloner where it will take around 2 weeks to grow roots, transplant into a pot and put it straight into veg.

Seriously man just grow them all out good luck......I can tell you others on here are right the 8 weeks is optimistic given the strains you selected....I had bad luck with fem seeds but I am NorCal so the bar is pretty high.....others mileage has varied greatly on here......even growing just one strain from seed can result in different pheno's that squat or stretch or even have different nute requirements.

I don't claim to be a pro. Ran into crap my last couple grows and because of other priorities kids, wife , job, etc. My plants were neglected here and there. Soil grow ffof,400mh/hps light. 4x4x6 grow room. Even with neglect and tough time making time to tend the plants. Still was able to pull a Lil over 2.5 oz. A plant.
