A half-ounce per plant is definitely doable with a 400W light. There are other factors, though. You need a good basic NPK, and some bud boosters like Bud Candy, Massive, and maybe Gravity. Be very careful with Gravity if you use it though, as it can burn plants easily. These bud boosters make your flowers bigger, denser, and harder. The added boost in sugars and cal/mag I have found increases my harvest weights.

The other crucial factor in this is your light. If you grow your plants as they are now, they'll be big single colas. They can yield a half-ounce bud each, but they need to have to have the light about 16-12" above the canopy. If your plants reach a height of about 18-24" when they finish, you can expect a half-ounce per plant. If you are only shooting for a half ounce with a 400W you can raise your expectations a little. If you have 6 plants, at a half ounce each, you could have a nice little 3 ounce harvest.

Hey, Saltwater,

I've used bubble buckets before with awesome success. In addition to our beloved cannabis, my dad and I had amazing results in them with peppers, and mostly with tomatoes last year. They're extremely easy to use, and really you've just gotta have a couple extra buckets to set your baskets in when you change your res water once a week. We kept our tomato plants alive from March-October with the simple bubble set-up in 5 gallon Home Depot buckets. Easiest thing ever.

If you don't go with the bubble bucket option, just go 3 per tote and run them in like an 18 or 22 gallon Rubbermaid tote. They won't get root bound in that at all! You'll need to have a nice fat airstone in each reservoir to provide oxygen to the roots, and probably an air pump with multiple valves, or else multiple individual-valve air pumps to power the stones.

What kind of lighting are you under again? You can veg them as long as you want, really. They tend to stretch to double in size whenever you flip them to 12/12. So if you let them grow to a height of 12", they will finish stretching about 3 weeks into flower, and their finish height will be 24". If you let them grow to 24", they will finish at 48", etc. I tend to veg my plants to a height of at least two feet, so that they finish up about four feet tall, with a canopy of at least 2 square feet, and I top them so that they have at least 6 tops when they go into flower. You can experiment with whatever works for your size and setup. If you want to finish your plants in their current set up, I would say another two weeks would be a good mark for when to switch to 12/12.

DUDE!!! Those look sooo happy and healthy!! I love the nice broad leaves, the nice green color!! Keep it up!!

TO ALL WHO LOVE AND RESPECT THE PLANT, LETS GROW
