whats the biggest yield you have seen on one outdoor plant? also include name and strain if known. i have been playing around with the idea of vegging a plant inside starting around thanks giving or christmas and then transplanting outside when temps allow and let mother nature have her. what kinda yield do you think i could get?

I think younger plants grow more vigorously than older plants. just have them out by may 20 or so and your good.

What i usually do is veg for a month indoors and then place them outside when theyre 2ft tall.

You have to make sure the light cycle during the day is longer than 12/12 so it doesent flower.
Ive had white widows done this way get 11ft+ and yeild 2.5lbs
They were so big that birds would persch on the branches and once a squirrel climbed it!

biggest I have personally seen was just over 7lbs, and was the size of a VW Bug, no shit, I was 16 and didn't know anything, but learned to manicure on it..... there is a guy on here with a 9 1/2 pounder with pics.... bigger than the one I saw in person....

Most of the time when people grow 3-4 lb+ monsters its because they vegged their shit indoor and their plants were 3-5 feet when they get put in the ground in May. I strongly disagree with the notion that "younger" plants (whether it be from seed or from clone) will outgrow older, larger plants. If you put a 6 inch clone in the ground May 20th, and on the same day I plant a 4 foot by 4 foot plant with established roots and a 3 inch thick stalk, your plant most certainly will not out yield mine :)

Anyway, back to the question at hand. Its hard to tell the most yield from any one plant (as people usually chop/trim all their weed at once, not one plant at a time), but its not uncommon for a lot of people I know to pull 100-125 lbs from 25 plants. Anything over 4 or 5 pounds a plant is very hard to do. I have seen 8 footers yield more than 14 footers - depends a lot on each grower and the genetics they're working with. I might even go so far as to say that some strains are incapable of producing 4-5 lbs+. Most I have seen from 25 plants was 137 pounds. Not my crop of course ;) However I was there to help grow it, chop it, trim it and bag it so I can verify that number. I'm sure there are lots of people growing 7-8 pound plants and probably even a few people that have the knowledge and genetics to attain 10+ lbs from one plant (rarely).

Well, hope I was able to help and good luck with growing some monsters in the future! PS Don't even try to call me a liar or say im frontin' or anything because I got pics and im not afraid to photo-slap a hater accross the face :)

stz thats what im talkin bout bro!! stz it just so happens to be my birthday and if you would i would like to be photo slapped with some pics of that shit sounds awesome. the only thing im concerned about on doin a grow like this is how big of a container will i need for my roots i dont want em boundin on me and want them to explode when they go outside

definitely give it a try dude it will be a monster guaranteed, I grew an 8 foot Sour Diesel plant last year that I planted on 4/20 and it yeilded between 2-3 lbs If i had vegged it out indoors for a month or two first I couldn't even imagine how big that beast would have been, as for the size of the container I would grow them indoor in like a 2-3 gallon container for the first month or so and then when the roots fill out transplant it into a 20-30 gallon grow bag when you put it outside and she will explode for sure. I would even go from a 6" pot or something because If you grow them up in smaller containers the plants are going to be a lot denser and leafierrather than lanky and loose.

Hehe happy birthday man. Here's a picture of me standing next to a 13-14 footer last harvest. It was a Pineapple/G13 cross that the clone guy called "Scary". Notice its about 12-13 feet wide as well :) This picture was probably taken sometime in October. Believe it or not, we only pulled about 3 pounds from this gigantic bitch, but the smoke was outrageous ;) As far as container size, I think a 15 or 20 gallon bag/pot would be sufficient to avoid being root bound before the last frost. I always use 5-7 gallon containers just because they are easy to work with, cheap, don't take too much soil to fill (im a broke ass lol), and as long as you don't start TOO early, they are big enough to support a large plant with lots of roots. I usually start indoors around Feb-March and plant in the ground Late April-Early June. Again, good luck and hope your shit goes well my man.

Nor/Central Cal, doin' just what you queried, vegged 5 Trainwrecks inside from clones, for 3 1/2 months, ferrying them outside when the temps allowed, then back in under flour aquarium tubes to keep an 18/6 light schedule, and they tuned into these monsters. Went into the ground on May 28th. I topped them starting late June, now I have BRANCHES, LOTS OF THEM, topping over 7 1/2 ft, and pulled down at that. These things would have been 12 ft easy if I had the overhead to let 'em go, for sure.

For comparison, some dispensary clones in half barrels, same soil, same water shedule, only vegged like the others for about a month. Being in the barrels may have something to do with it, they do seem to grow to fit the environment, so the bigger the planter, the better, for size.

We'll see about yield, kinda hard to predict that.......

My largest plants were budded twice. Spring and Fall.

Next Winter I intend to do precisely what you're talking about. Until now I've been doing a seed crop each Spring. I'll never try every cross I have, so now well see how vegging does.

Tips:

Figure on continuing whatever light cycle you used indoors, outside until August 1st.

A way to minimize hassle is to veg indoors at 14/10, and then place them outdoors in mid May when the day length reaches 14/10. Going longer could create early flowering problems unless you supplement day length, outdoors.

If you want an enormous yield, give the plant plenty of room and LST her until her canopy is completely filled in, then let her grow vertically.

Based on a LOT of reading, your potential yield in Smart Pots is about one pound for each thirty gallons of soil volume(assuming the grower is experienced).

The grows that go over five pounds per plant are in 200 to 300 gallon Smart Pots or raised beds. They're spending $100+ on soil for each plant.

My space is limited so I shoot for plants that can potentially produce a pound or two each in the space provided. About fifteen square feet each.

veggie when you say you shoot for plants that can potentially produce a pound or two each in the space provided. About fifteen square feet each. are you talking about strains potential or are you talking about any strain in general and that is what potential your space has?
