any thoughts on yield?

Ive had these vegging in 1- 1 1/2 gallon pots for 45-55 days in 8 hours of direct sunlight. Just transplanted all into 3 gallon buckets.( pic was taken 2 days ago before transplant) They should hopefully be flowering within the next few weeks.this is my first grow and i was just wondering if anyone saw any of these plants as having the potential to yield 3-4 oz. Any input would be awesome
It should yield some ok stuff. That stretching, some of the leaves have been eaten which means there's going to be some bug problems some more. Don't know where you are located but get some caging or something got to keep those deer and all them away. That's all going to play into how much you yield. More than likely when it does start to flower it'll almost double in size, going to have to worry about weight and branches breaking. Main plant looks ok as far as sturdyness now but looks thin from pictures. They going to need to thicken up if they going to want to support buds. You probably won't get to much buds getting real big and swelling together. Maybe some on the top but not to much. Due to all that stretching and the stretch that comes in the start of flowering, Could use more side branching growth. As far as an estimate not really going to give one. There's to much to factor in, as far as pot size, weather outdoors, if it's going to be raining a lot and your flowering your gonna have to watch for bud rot and all that, bugs, animals, etc. One day your good and the next day Mother Nature comes in. Heat can destroy you on a hot day too. There's def lots of room for improvement. Not putting you down or anything. Have seen some nasty posts in this. Just giving my input you can take or leave that's your choice it's your grow. Hope you get close to what you want or half. Either way cutting down something you grew and can smoke is an accomplishment in its own, good or bad there's always room to improve your grow.

Thanks man. Youre right..they need to get thicker..morr branches..in the last week the branching has picked up and i notice a good difference every day. A bit stretched. I think i will move them to a more open location for more direct sunlight hours within the next week and begin to bend and tie down to hopefully get yields close to my goal. Im really gonna be happy just to harvest good quality buds..just cant help being obsessed with getting weight

Quality > Quantity

My guess is your trying to make money. Idk where your located but around here, an Oz of dank can fetch you 300$ an Oz of mids will get you 150-200 if your lucky enough to find someone to buy it.

A big yeild is nice, but my largest yeild (26oz dry) was also my lowest quality.
 
..and i would like u to explain how an indoor grower can veg for one month and pull an ounce off of s two foot plant without the branching that my plant will have...how can they pull an oz off that but me not pull two or more off of a plant with probably triple or more the bud sites. Use your noggin
Look at humans, we grow at a much faster rate as babies or children than we do as teen or adults, the reason for this is genetics. The genetics determine when and by how much we grow. Plants in general have a sweet spot in development, and quiet frankly in terms of yield a fully matured marijuana plant is way past its sweet spot. Thc levels may be higher in a more mature plant but that isn't always the case because the vegetative state doesn't directly effect the flowering stage. For instance by stunting the growth of the plant you are limiting the height but not the processes the plant carries out. When I say your plant is beyond its sweet spot don't take that as a bad thing, because the sweet spot I'm referring to is about growth. Plants have multiple "sweet spots" such as resin, thc, cbds, bud density, root health, and overall plant balance. a plant that is only vegged for a month won't be very balanced as far as support and root development, because those methods only focus on bud development. I personally want my plants to become as big as they can because it is in the best interest of the plant. But even the smallest plants grown in a solo cup produced 0.75 of an ounce.... I mean the plants have a minimum they will produce just as they have a maximum they can produce and it is all about threshold. Their is a certain window what you need to do is record all the times of your plants and nutrition data and compare it to your plants yields so that you find what is the greatest percentage of growth and at about what times are yields exponentially impacted by time frame. My guess is that if you let a plant get about 2 feet tall it will produce roughly 1.5 ounces whereas a plant that gets 4 feet tall will generally produce 4 to 6 ounces depending on strain so typically a plant who is 3 or 4 feet tall will have the greatest time/yield ratio. But that is just my opinion.

Located in ohio. High end smoke can go for $350 a zip here and some quality mids can grab you $200 a zip

Im not far away. NePa....

Wtf is quality mids? Its either good or its not. If you grow some bullshit, you can have all the weight you want and youll be sitting on it forever. I dont even think i know any one that would buy mids aside from highschool kids, and they can't afford weight. Unless you wanna be standing on the corner trying to sling 8ths of shwag for 30$ a pop to freshman in HS, maybe you should focus on dankness over weight

i meant good quality bud but not the top shelf stuff. Not schwag though. Of course i want dank. The genetics are decent..Northern lights..afgan kush and super skunk.

i will be moving plants to a bigger clearing which will provide the plants with more hoirs of direct sun and ill be bending and tying down.They are mostly shaded until about 10:30 am each morning and in the direct sunlight until about 645-7 pm right now. Lookin to improve conditions the best i can .

So what your saying is that when they flower, the buds will barely get any direct sun. The days are already getting shorter....
