New to this site and looking for ur advice, been growing bout 18mnths but never seem to get over 2oz off any plant..is this poor?- Current set-up is a 2-2-2 tent with 600w air cooled hps on 1 side and 1200w cob led on other half, did want 600w hps on both sides but high temps destroyed that dream. Growing 16 plants in soil (8 are 5wks into flower & 8 are just 1wk), using bio-grow/bloom with Buddha's tree pk 9-18 and occasional blackstrap molasses, av been trying various stuff (topping,lst etc) but cant seem to increase yield, the strain is called millennium (mlm).
Have been offered crit kush, is this a better yielder?....Any helpful advice to increase yield much appreciatedView attachment 3514086

Yeah man piss poor, the critical kush does yield but you should still be getting more than 2 per

thanks for the reply, yeah got 1 6in fan connected to rhino filter and blowing into air cooled shade then outta tent, and 1 4in inlet fan dragging in cool air, some various fans pushing air around room- did even buy small portable air con unit but for some unknown reason made tent even hotter!!- the new led i bought seems to be ok (dominator cob 1200w) but would av liked to run another 600w instead.

Looking at those buckets have you got drainage holes in the bottom? they look like 15L buckets from B&Q lol

They are lol, was advised to use these when I first started and haven't use anything else, Would this be 1 reason why I get shit yields?

yeah, u got soil in a sealed pot, roots need plenty oxygen so yield drops

Never thought bout this before so thanks, what size pot would u advise for the flower stage?.

Pot size is more to do with the room you have available i use 10L air pots and coco but mostly grow NFT now, got both going on at the moment though lol

See my inexperience, ad to google what NFT was lol, soon as I read "NFT is used by advanced hydroponic growers.." I realised its way beyond my skill lol, I got a 2m-2m-2m tent which fits 20 15L B&Q buckets easily lol

Those air pots look a good nxt move, would there be much benefit to getting 15L air pots over the 10L version?

Bigger the roots bigger the plant bigger the yield but 6oz plants are easily achievable in 10L pots

6oz would be massive jump for me, time for some experimenting I think. Only got given 1 pineapple plant which is already 1 week into flower so would I still be able to take cuttings off this?- its a very small plant that wasn't living up to her sisters so that's the reason I was given it, been offered critical kush cuts which seem to have good write ups for yield etc

 

[3eyes]

Yes you can still take cuts from her or put her back to 18 hrs to veg her on get her big and healthy before turning her back to 12. And critical kush i know who's got those beans and he's the same fella that did the pineapple chunk I've a feeling that your quite near me and have a mutual friend lol
