I just harvested the headband and one to show the results, and see what you guys thin

[AZPsyclops]

This is a Headband I just harvested after about 10 weeks of flowering. The trichomes were about 10 to 15% Amber mostly cloudy with a few clear.The blue tray is what could not be hung on the string and the other three trays are lower buds and cuttings that will be made into hash. I estimate just over 3 ounces dry of good smokable bud, and probably about 3 to 4 g of good blonde hash. I want to increase yields with the same amount of lighting I have, but will post a thread under the newbie section. Anyway I had to brag to somebody and this seemed like the form to do it on. Let me know what you guys think any comments are welcome including bad ones I don't care. Thanks and good growing to the rest of you.

nice plant buddy shes a real whopper whatsize and kind of light are you using?

It was right under the center of my 1000 W high-pressure sodium. I put the picture in with my phone for some scale the buds really did turn out nice and fat with some real heft to them I'm very happy. Thank you very much for the comment. She was vegetated under about 750 W of 4 foot T fives.

Very nice plant. great job with her looks to be a decent amount, look like very dense chunky bud.
i just harvested 1 plant myself like 5 mins ago and look to have around 2 oz at a guess, you have i'd say 2.5 - 3 oz

Great feeling isn't it. I'll update this post later with the final weights and hash weights. If you got some pictures I'd love to see them.

 

[The2TimEr]

hell yeah dude no better feeling! the more i look at yours is definatly 3 + oz
i'll throw up some photo's when its dry, i harvested her biggest cola a few days before the rest also. Heres a shot of a small lower bud.

Nice whitish crystalline looking bud. Nice grow can wait to see more pictures.

Well guys and girls it wasn't as much as I thought. I got exactly 56 g of kick ass Headband and 3 1/2 g of hash. I had a gram that was un-pictured here.
I really have to increase yield, which I think I'm doing on this next run, which should be done in about three weeks.
I have a lack of lighting that are keeping these yields low. I have cut down on the number of plants I'm growing until I can afford more lights.
I want to Thank Everybody for all their comments and rep points, you people are great.

Most newbs will get about 1 grams per 5 watts of light. Experianced growers get, get 1gram per 1-2 watts... If your usings a 1000w hps, you should be pulling 200g easy. I don't think lighting is your issue.. Just my two cents. Im sure you'll continue to pull more and more! Congrats on the purty Headband also!

If you've been growing many many years, and have perfect setup.. you can pull a pound per 1kw. It's been done and documented many times over in the past.. that said, it takes time and effort to work up to that point and none of the background you acquire just magically appears.

I think I was unclear, as far as complaining about having a low yield.
This is only one plant out of five that were under the HPS. I nutrient burned two, one died and one had to be taken early.
Collectively from the first run of these plants I've gotten about 6.5 ounces, about 4.5 ounces that made it to harvest with about 7 grams of hash. I still have just over an ounce of Kush curing, included in the harvest count and another couple of grams of hash to make today, not included in the count.
I was just used to outdoor growing where a small plant gets 3/4 of a pound.
I think my grow room is under lit because it's 9'x7' and I only have the one 1000w hooded HPS running it.
I have tried rearranging my flower room by setting the plants at different levels doing a semi-vertical grow. I already see more bud sites getting more of the light I can afford right now.
I have a new AK-47 on the floor the middle and a Mystery plant pictured on the left in second picture the were just put into the room. I am trying to train the Mystery plant to go to one side and have to start training in vegetation room.
I wanted to ask for advice, but didn't even know how to start the thread.
Thanks for all the input.

Turned out decently, just requires more hands-on before you can really maximize your setup vs your strain(s) - that said, you did fine.. and if questions, by all means ask. You have been on the forums enough to see who has at least semi-sane advice.

Thanks Figong. I think that if I start training my plants in vegetation for where I plan on placing the plant in the flower room. I can do better for right now.
My big problem is I am a Mason and work sucks and finances are very tight.
Things will get better though and I'll be able to sink a little more money into this B.O.A.T. and make her float a little higher in the water.
Thanks again.

Completely understood, and yes - highly recommended you start training as soon as you're 100% sure that the root system and main stem will take the force of the training. I've seen people mis-judge it, and end up completely uprooting the plant which almost killed it, and delayed veg a bit as a result. When all else fails, give it a lil' bit in veg pre-train and you should be doing just fine.

Me and a hydro grower friend are trying to figure out some kind of screen method, like a grape trellis for each plant as they are all at different stages and can't be harvested at the same time.
