Hey buddy, apologies for not stopping in for a while. I've pulled up a seat on your new journal. Caught up with this one 2 finally...

I've grown a few auto's which came out very similar to your buds, still great quality I will add, so don't be hard on yourself.

I'm an experienced led grower. Let me tell you, do not worry about what Johnson say about their led, my advice is to try it further away, not closer!

I'm convinced a plant can become very unhappy with an led too close. I'm vegging with mine 5ft away and getting faster growth. The led companies just tell where it needs to be to achieve the figures they wrote in their sales speel. Trust me the plant always feels different about it. Do you like it when somebody pushes you to your maximum level constantly? I doubt it, just like plants we becomes stressed and require more rest to recover!

You are better of having the led really far away, if the plants stretches too much, drop it slightly until it's perfect, then remember that distance.

Imo whether it's cmh or led try them further away. I noticed in a few pics some of the leaves high up looked toasted. Good in a way though as it hasn't bleached the buds like many leds do. I will yield more with an led 4ft away - than I will 2ft away!

So herk how did the plant do weight wise was it the 7 to 9 you estimated earlier or did it come out to more ?
it came out less 6 zips looks can be deceiving but any way you look at it I was way off but I'm gonna dust off & hit it with renewed vigor funny thing my semi-ghetto sour'd single plant grow under the 400w hps that I replaced with the led & the dwc/ waterfarm I homemade is actually kicking ass don't figure 16 days veg & I flipped may 4 th genetics play a big part here it's hard to find a big yielder that gives good enough quality I once grew out female seeds ww-x-bb it looked good ,yielded huge just didn't cut it in the quality dept I kinda rushed the sour'd but it has excellent growth characteristics I'm wanting to sample the final product it just may be one of those that gives quality & quantity as I cloned her IMG_1491.JPG

Its kind of cool to have the goal after all without it , it will never be met.

I have been finding that all strains produce at least 8 oz a plant with some capable of double that due to their naturally larger structure. At one time when i was a beginner I had thought that a 8 oz strain was rare and much sought after. It now appears that the smaller phenotype make 8 oz with the larger pheno's making 1 pound plus plants.
Tweaking a pound out of them is still no easy task , although it may well become easy once the techniques are put together.

Much easier vertically!

looks can be deceiving in both directions my stuff looked good but came up way short(6oz.) your buds look like they have some density to them you might do better than you think

"Bout a pound"

That's the standard answer, no matter what. Why? Too many variables, both in terms of setup and in terms of grower skill.

When you crop out, let us know!

The buds are well developed for 3 1/2 weeks , looking good. They are going be huge , if think of it for next update throw in a scale object for size reference it will help with weight guesses a lot.

Right now with me gustimating its size to be 26 inches square at say four weeks flower it should make close to 12 oz. Or a pound if you blast it with more light power. My guess

Think i have like 16 to 20 tops hell maybe more that once fully developed will be the size of that coke can lol :) im hoping for close to a pound, plant was vegged for 60 days wheni put the scrogg net on i was still traiining it had to go out of town for 2 days on business, when i got back home it had grown almost 8 inches after a dose of recharcge i tried to bend the growth back under trellis but snapped a branch and said fuck it so that is why my canopy is not filled in better.
