Good morning friend.

I have never based my grows solely on yields, but the more light you use, the better yield you will get.

Doing LST, ect will help bring out budsites in areas that get low light exposure and in hence.....give more bud and I do organics and add Molasses and Raw Honey too my soil for sweet and healthy and denser buds.
However, there is no substitute for good lighting.

You honestly cannot give these plants too much light " too much heat, yes, but not too much light. "

Be Blessed,

( I cannot remember the link or find it at this time, but there was a gentlemen on here and I seen were he had put about 4000 watts of light on only four Trees and he was getting 12 to 15 pounds of bud from those four Trees. )

Get Good Lighting and or make it even better.

Actually, if you note in the plant problems faq, you can bleach the chlorophyll out of you leaves with too much light. This happened to my young plants.

yup ive done that with a well cooled light too

Im not sure who said you cant use too much light but that is false. If you over saturate with lumens the leaves will turn white and the choloropyl will be fucked. So you CAN have too much light, it's just hard to acheive it.

Bigger plant containers allows for the roots to get bigger. If you grow outdoors will get bigger yield as the roots have endless space to develop. So I'm geussing the bigger the pots the bigger the plants can get. Plus using mollasses and good blooming nutes will effect yield also.

if you are in it for the yield (money im guessing?) then you should do an outdoor monster grow! dig a massive hole and fill it up with some nice soil and everything else a healthy plant wants!

i fim AND lst.....its the way to go,,,,its called screen of green lol

I top and lollipop.
Works great for me!!

I fim and by doing that I have reached a personal record of 7.5 oz in a 3 gallon bucket. Useing molases as well.
Too much light~ I have 8 bulb 4 foot T5HO and when I get them close like 18 inches, they do not repond well, but when I raise them too 21-24 " they really respond, they get real green and leafie.

u could never give your plants to much light, nothing more powerfull then the sun. outdoors is the way to go if you have a good spot. I like to FIM my plants i get plenty of nice colas this way.

My lights give out WAY more lumes then the sun.
They just don't give all the colors of the rainbow, you know.

I've see plants bleach- Ugly F'ing Albinos.

good point......sun gives out like 15k while 1000w hps puts out like 45k or something like that is what ive always heard.

People who are not familiar with the 1KW lighting systems that are commonly used in northwestern grow rooms are often shocked at the blinding light intensities that they can generate. Sometimes I like to turn the lights off and point out to them how dark it is without them. No man made light source will ever match the intensity of the sun. Without adequate light or light in the correct [color] spectrums, green plants will not grow. Cannabis is arguably the most light-loving plant species on the planet. A cannabis plant that does not get enough light will be sad and spindly with small leaves and buds and a lot of stem. If you follow the directions in here under 'lighting', you should not have a problem. Don't be suprised if it seems bright, it's supposed to be. In fact, I have taken to wearing mountaineering sunglasses with side panels and U.V. protection whenever I am in my grow rooms, due to the fact that I have noticed my vision deteriorate over the years, undoubtedly from constant exposure. These type of shades also have rubber hooks that go around the backs of your ears to keep them on your head when you are looking down all the time.

just a bit info about lighting from Erowid cannabis fault still think its the brightness of the t5's that gave your plants a problem

I always say the proof is in the pudding, and when I have my T5HO 19" or closer, they do not respond well and lose the green in there leafs. If I keep my lights 20-23 inches away from tops, My Ladies grow with vigor, and are green as can be.
Check out todays pictures below. My 8 bulb 4 foot T5 is about 21" from top.

evrything helps.....
