what kinda yeild yall guess i might come out with. 4 plants. 1200 watts. yes i know kinda wasteful but i got fucked on my seeds. waiting for these to finish so i can use the area to its best.

Too many brownies
mind if I ask where you got that figure from?
Read all of the bottom part in quotes, thats taken directly from a jorge cervantes article in hightimes. Its nto really that long. The front cover is off of the mag so i cant see what issue it is. Its pretty old though, like 2002 or 03.
Well, you should aim for 1g per watt for every 30 days of growing. The equation is GPW/30. Most average growers get like around .3-.5per watt for every 30 days. So you got 1200w, lets say you get a good .5per watt. That would be .5x1200. Thats 600g which is like 21 oz or something? So an average, good yield would be like 20oz. Now, thats not 20oz per plant obviously and this isnt a for sure thing. I dont really see you getting 20oz from those 4 or 5 plants, but thats just what i read. I got it out of a high times article by jorge cervantes where he is giving a seminar on growing.
Its called Best Grower in the World. He says and i quote...
"All of them were focused on yield, and would always run into a brick wall, never able to produce more than 1/2 gram per watt of light for every 30 days plants were in the flowering room (GPW/30). "I am growing hydroponically with the most advanced system I can find, and I am unable to grow more than .5 grams per watt! Once I grew .6grams per watt, but only once." complained a perplexed grower.. Look, all you guys need to do is figure out what your plants need and give it to them. Keep plants growing fasst and healthy at all times, " I repeated over and over again. "Never let them slow down. Use quality nutrients, pletny of light, keep the temp and humidity in the right zone, and use a gowring medium that holds a lot of air but still drains well. Thats the secret!" He then goes on to say "Growers are bombarded with "good advice" all the time. Much of this "good advice" is driven by the competitive greed of advertisers who want to sell more products and make more money. Other times the "good advice" is pontificated by egos steeped in ignorance, misinformation and often fueled by paranoia. The result is alot of inferior info that results in more ignorance, frustration and miserable yields. More than half of the hundreds of growrooms I have toured in the last 25 years yielded less the half the standard I feel to be the benchmark, .5 GPW/30" "My favorite excuse is "Its not about yield, dude, its about quality." BULLSHIT! Quality is factor of genetics. Good seeds/clones produce good dope. Once the genetics are in place, the only thing left up the grower is how well they are able to nurture the seeds and clones into mature plants. Too often , a great variety like Chronic, which ahas the ability to produce 1 GPW/30, is poorly grown and produces only a .25 GPW/30 of its potential. Other plants like a personal favorite, Super Silver Haze, yield only .4 GPW/30 when well grown, but most growers harvest a meager .2GPW/30. Wheter growing with a 250w or a 1000w lamp, any grower should be able to meet the benchmark for specific varieties. Growers who do not pay attention to the basics and do not learn what plants want are doomed to repeat history."

thanks f4t4l, Jorge is a very smart man. yeah i am realistically hoping for 2-3 o's per plant. they are in their 3rd week and are about 4 1/2-5 feet tall. i have all my growing variables right. temp is 70-75. RH 30-40%. ppms runnin 1400-1500. and they are getting boocoo light. so i dunno what else i could do to make them pack on more weight. i also started molasses supplements.
