Help! Yield Question

Thanks for stoppin by! OK, this is my second grow & I'm looking to get Max yield. I have 25 babies in a 5x5 tent under 1600w in 3gal. bags. I was thinking about scrog but im not sure, any advice would be great! Again, im looking for max yield possible hoping for 2lbs+

Thats alot of plants in that small space if you want that yield. Depending on how big you were planning on making them, they wont fit. I would focus more energy into maybe 9 or so, so you can make a 3x3 square in your tent. If you veg them long enough and use lst/FIM/top and the plants grow normally, with the right lighting you should be able to yield 2lbs off just 9 plants pretty easily.

Most people claim that with SoG an oz to 2 oz per plant is a good yield. Going 12/12 after sprout and letting them go like 6-8 weeks or so. With 25 plants you are looking at a pound and a half there. You may want too add some light to get good coverage of the entire canopy. Maybe some t5 tubes along the 3 walls that have no door.

I also like the above suggestion to lessen the amount of plants and max the light you have. I love the topping and LST methods! Either way a pound or two is certainly not out of reach with such a huge area, Best of Luck!, Let's see some pics of your set-up!
 
Thanks for the advice guys! Unfortunately Im stuck with the 25 right now so I have to make it work. It may be 6x6 k have all 25 in there and there is still room left, so with what i have to work with, what would you suggest? Veg time/lst/scrog?

Well in my thinking you are gonna be wall to wall weed in there no matter how you go. So, depends on the amount of work you are prepared to do. A SCRoG IMHO is gonna be a pain in the ass. It would work beautifully mind you but you will need to be creative in getting to them all after a while. LST with topping also great but still a lot of work. Probably easier then the SCRoG though as they get larger. But I still think you may need more light to do that to it's potential with that many girls, not real sure. The SoG is again IMHO the way to go, but then again I am a lazy fucking stoner! LOL!
 
Lol ok so with the sog when would you start flowering? & what yield would you expect. The strains are NL, SLH, AK47 & White Rhino

Pretty much as soon as they sprout. You induce a 12/12 flowering schedule. If you are gonna do this with 1600w of HID though you want some distance and good ventilation between them and seedlings. As for yield with those strains. If you go 12/12 in say week 2 and flower 8 weeks that is 10 weeks total. The vegging is totally cut out so they will prolly not have huge branches but you should get 1-2 oz from each. If it done well prob avg of 1.5 oz per. Or 2.25 pounds. Good Luck!

But again all that ^^^ is just guess work as far as yield goes. Tons of factors need to be considered. Start a journal so we can see how it's going, I would sub that.
 
OK sounds great actually! Give me a day or two to get some quality pics up. This will be my first journal. I'll let you know& thanks for the advice. Stay tuned

With your setup & 25 plants my vote would be......give them 3 or 4 wks. of life & send them to flower untouched, finish as soon as possible move to the next batch. Even at 9 plants you'd still be balls deep in a couple wks.
1600w in that space with 4-6 CULTIVATED plants man your buds will be of a quality that most will never see. 6-8 oz. per of fully mature, unusually hard freaks of nature. Light is cool!

I would ove to see how your managing the heat in there, that's aot of wattage for a small space.

Unlss your flipping to 12/12 now, your gonna have to bin or give away at least 15 of your babies. Don't waste your time and money vegging them all to see if it works, trust me, in 2- 3 weeks you wil not be able to see your pots, they will be in darkness. 9-10 plants treated and fed should give a min 4oz per plant (2+ lb).

It's hard to bin a any healthy plants but you have to be cruel to be kind. Good luck.
