So, below you may have noticed my baby girl. Shit, you probably already clicked the picture and are just now reading this..? That's my way of doing things. But anyways, she's my personal toke plant since I'm working on my first grow. :bigjoint:

I would like to ask all of you guys for predictions on my yield.

Here are some details about my plant that you guys will more than likely ask for if I don't add it...

• Organically grown, fertilized with Miracle Gro Tomato Plant Food.
• 400w MH Bulb, temperatures range from 71 - 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Sprouted out of the dirt April 17th.
• Vegged her out for awhile then began flowering her 12/12 light cycle on the date June 3rd.
• (4 weeks into flowering for those who say fuck counting like I do.)
• Single branch going straight up, along with 4 side branches towards the bottom that are about 8 inches long each.
• My plant stands at a proud, yet shameful due to other's large plants, 22 inches from the dirt. Just under 2 feet.

Here's another picture which shows a few different angles. (Sorry for no full body shots, hopefully my explanation above leaves little to the imagination.)

Thank you all who participate! :smile:

(DUH, no bud has formed yet but guess anyways!)

need genetic infos

name, parentage, breeder if possible

also pot size, soil composition, room humidity, soil PH, water source, any other food/health supplements

whether you use atmospheric c02 injection


without those, for one plant under 400w MH, fed miracle grow

my best estimate is .75 - 4oz

Bagseed of some decent bud me or my friend collected awhile ago.

Pot size: 8 inch orange ceramic.

Humidity ranges from 50 - 65

Water source is generally hose water after we've cleared the hose, nothing special. Got a tight budget.

& At mr. miracle gro hater, what do you suggest instead? Constructive criticism is accepted, not fert-hate chat. :?:

ok so giving the height, the fact that you didnt top and you have limited branches you will have 5 colas one being the bigger top cola. Granted nothing goes wrong and you dont stress it out I would guess 1- 1 1/2 oz. if you would have topped it you would have had more but you will still be happy with what you get, just don't harvest early. Wait until most of the white hairs turn red and receed back into he calyx and the trichomes have a nice ratio of milky to amber. Harvest early and you will have hay and cucumbers lol.

Yeah I chose not to top my plant because I really like the way single-branch plants look. <3 I only let my bottom 4 branches grow out because by the time I noticed them they were looking really healthy and I decided to let them keep growing for more Colas. 1 - 1 1/2 oz is fine by me. Yeah, I'm really interested in growing so whenever I'm about to reach a new step in the process I'm always found on the computer reading, reading, reading all about the next phase.

As for a bit of an update, my "hairs"/"pussies" as I call em' have grown from the top of the plant slowly down the stalk all the way to my bottom 4 branches. So I know my bottom branches are getting enough light as each day they seem just that much bigger and more mature. My plant remains stress free, just how I'll be when I harvest. :bigjoint:

SO FOLKS READ THIS, THIS IS WHERE IT GETS IMPORTANT:

So, lets gather the data given to me by you wonderful people...

The range of how much bud my plant will produce is: 16 grams - 3.75 oz

That's quite the range if you ask me... I could easily eyeball 16 grams from 3.75 ounces.

Ah well, I guess we play the waiting game.



My plants are today into the 5th week of flowering, and I'm hoping to harvest late this month or early August. Does anybody know of a store that carries 20x - 30x magnification lenses? Such as a jewelers lens? I'm going to need to buy one of those and I'll probably go buy myself some Bloom phase fertilizer and introduce that to my plant after I water her next.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but based off my memory of recently researched articles when I harvest my marijuana and get done manicuring it I hang it up to dry. Let it dry in a cool, dark, area until the outside of the buds are a bit tough, and the stem has bend to it but doesn't snap. Then, I cure my marijuana in an air-tight jar for a few days while continuously burping the jar or removing the contents and replacing them shortly after they aired out.

If any of this is wrong, please let me know. Remember, this is my first grow so any information you give me may be unnecessary because I've researched the subject for a very long time before actually going ahead with the idea. Lets just say I know more than your average first time grower, at least at my age. :)

Any suggestions will be accepted if others agree!

Quick picture update for people who want to attempt to ACCURATELY guess the amount of bud I receive from this lady.

Took the picture right after re-staking. (Notice my aluminum foil tie, found that to be useful AND reflective. Thought of it when I was stoned ofc.)
