To chop or not to chop that is the question

Yeah, the only way this is possible is if you counted it all.
Meaning when I say how much I harvested I don`t count the shit that is not good enough for sale.

Over 4.5oz per plant?....I smell a rat, and I think it must have stood on the scale.

That's easy. I typically net between 4 to 6 oz per plant, but I only grow two at a time under a 600 watt HPS. If I scrog I can get between 6 and 8 ounces. If you're patient enough and veg out longer you can get more than that with ease.

I just know he's full of shit because one plant harvest of mine that netted 4.8 ounces last grow was twice the size of his with ease.

Those buds looked real fluffy and airy, not enough light over them, along with other issues... in my experience, growing this way, with not enough light, manipulates the G/W #s to look funky. There is more plant material (leafiness) in the buds so that could add to final weight and affect metrics like g/w. Also, with a large area and not enough light , its easy to get higher yield numbers, you have more plants in more area. But the quality and density suffer tremendously, as seen here.

A lot of my friends grow like this, 1k over 7ftx7ft and they pull crazy g/w #s but the quality is suffering, buds are completely loose, lots of leafiness in the bud itself...

I wonder what size room these ten plants and 1kw were in. I think 3lbs from a 1kw is totally possible, but not worth it to stretch the light out like that because of the drop in quality. Make more selling half as many primo buds, then 3lbs of fluff. For personal smoke, right on, more power to ya.


In what size room were these ten plants and 1000w HPS?

I'm not saying that it isn't possible to get more than 8 oz from a plant, but it is not possible to get 4.5 oz per plant when you have 10 under one light that look like those fluffy things he was showing.
