What’s the deal on the yield?

[Hempire828]

I messed up again... only 148 grams out of 3 plants .. I counted around 5 oz... got one more going that may give me 2-3 zips.. its a mom to a clone I used of the 3... damn I’m trying to get at least 3/4 to an lb...what’s the normal in soil per plant.. I normally flip after 30-40 days of veg growth.

What lights are you using ?

 

[Hempire828]

My fault.. I’m in a 3x3 with 315 vivosun Phillips 4K... I think I should veg longer and or train harder...

 

[Jay342]

I would use a hps for flower personally

And veg for at least 6 wks.

I may try a 600w..

I may try a 600w..

If u can manage the heat do it ul thank yourself harvest time

What size space are you in and what size containers?

 

[Hempire828]

3x3 3 gallons...

 

[Hempire828]

3x3x6... I try not to let them grow no more than 12 inches before I flip as well...mom in the middle

Ok this is the new grow... went with 5 plants

These guys have you covered. If you can't cool a 600, a 400 hps is about 45w/sq ft and should fill your tent with dense buds.

Usually it’s recommended at least 60+ days before flip. More watts = more yield. 50-70 watts per sq.ft. of canopy is a good range to be in. Actual watt output too.

Veg long enough until your tent looks like this

1 month autos. Except 3 on the right.
Also in 3 gal pots in a 4x4

I may try me some autos... light and go

This is my first try.
Not to bad so far.

As far as light goes, mine are under a 600w HPS and 315W CMH.

Light definitely matters...

As others have said you need more light. I was averaging like 12-14 ounces per 3x3 run using a 400 watt timber led. Added another 200 watt timber and yielded 23 ounces off 3 plants in said 3x3. Another poster said to veg like 60 days, I disagree. I have never vegged longer than 5 weeks and got above yeilds. More light and larger pots, reservoir is the ticket. Get that root ball bigger. Cheers.

4000k is really for veg. Not gonna bulk up well during flower. Can change your situation here by just switching to a 3000k for flower. Change the bulb, couple extra wks of veg and some training will make a huge difference.

 

[Hempire828]

Yeah I thought 315 for 3x3 was enough... will most definitely double up pronto..temp should be ok if I run at night..also ordering 3k bulb... now..good looking out fellas.. I need that pound next go around..

 

[LinguaPeel]

Post microscopy of your soil then and only then can we address your microbial imbalance.

The only thing lights do is make sugars for da microbes, you don't even be grow lights if you feed da microbes

I thought the same thing. That's why I'm now running a 315W CMH with Phillips 3100k and 600W HPS in a 4x4.
In those hoods I can get light within 8" of canopy.
