Is it possible for an experienced grower to give an estimated guess as to the approximate yield based per plant based on how the plants currently look at day 25? (see picture- 5x nirvana short rider autos. I'm doing foliage pro and fox farm big bloom twice per week at 1/2 the normal dose and distilled water (ph = 6) on the other waterings. Any thoughts?
Also, on a couple of the plants, the lower fan leaves are turning yellow. I removed them. Was that an OK move?
Are those buds or pre flowers ? Do they look normal?

Hey everybody-
Due to the size constraints of this 2x2x3 ft tent, I have just purchased a new tent that is 4x4x5ft made by iPower and sold by Amazon. Will my 400 watt HPS, 6 in booster fan and scrubber be sufficient for this sized tent? A pic of the tent is attached that I just ordered online. I also got two 12 watt full spectrum LEDs to supplement the 400watt HPS
I'm wondering if this new tent will be big enough for the current plants and then more?

4x4 will give you exponentially more room and the height will help too.
400 is pretty low for 16 sq ft, but if you keep the plants more in the center with some breathing room around the perimeter it should help. Next run you could upgrade to a 600 or 1000 if you want to.
I know it's not exactly the same, but for reference with more mature plants, this is what my 3x3x6 looks like with 2 flowering plants and 2 tiny plants (cuttings of the bigger ones) just starting to flower:
It fills up quick once they start to stretch and flower!
Running a variety of strains presents its own problems too - my headband plant is about 1.5ft shorter than the blueberry even they started at the same time, it just stretched less. I have a milk crate and crap under it to help balance the canopy. With a bunch of plants, you can keep the shorter strains in the center directly under the light and that way you can get the best coverage without burning them.
