I got about 3.5 oz per plant. I had 3 them in 2 gal pots under a 600W HPS. Room has a CO2 generator (1500 PPM). Average temp was 75. Average Humidity was 63. 1 fan moving air. I flowered them for 62 days. I used House and Garden nutrients and roots organics soil. Per gallon of water they got about 10-18 mL Soil A/B, .4 mL Drip Clean, 1mL Roots Excelulator, 3.5 mL Multizen (Weeks 1-5). 3.3 mL Bud XL (Weeks 6-8 ), 2.8 mL Top Shooter (Weeks 6-8 ). They were flushed in week 6 and week 8. I made a note to myself to flush in week 4 next time. They were given .75-1 gallon of water twice a week. Run off was left in saucers

I'm thinking I used too much nutrients and should have flushed in week 4 instead of 6 and maybe I could have avoided the crazy amount of nanners.

When I had one in a tent and it hermied I cut it down earlier and the high seemed more potent. That hermie had balls and sacs of pollen but fewer nanners than the clones I just flowered. The three I just flowered that prompted me to start this thread only had nanners. Lots of them! I never found any sacs or much pollen.

I'm guessing the plants gave up energy on producing the nanners that they could have used to raise the THC levels.

less is more when it comes to fertilizing. I've found that out the hard way. The best thing one can do is learn to read ones plants. Pay attention to what they are doing, how they react through the stages of life. Also I know there are a bunch of people that love to over complicated things with 20 bottles (I'm exaggerating, but you get my point). Just look on those bottles, half of the ingredients are the same just in different levels and most of it water to bind it together. I'm a fan of keep it simple, no need for redundancy, plus it saves money, time, and eliminates problems of locking something out. Cannabis isn't some magical plant (okay it's a fucking awesome plant) but it doesn't follow some arbitrary time line and will do its thing. Best of luck though

A lot of this is good advice, but I'd learn to feed your soil before anything. Healthy soil = Healthy plant. Generally this means avoiding bottles though. You can pull insane yields from organic soil. No bottles necessary. It's a lot cheaper too once you get going (turning your trash into beautiful weed... priceless).

Well my setup is a tent with about 11.59 square feet in footprint, 60 inches tall. Running a 600 watt digital hps. I run happy frog cut further with perlite (65/35).I run Jacks classic, and Jacks citrus as well as amending the medium before hand with calcium (as some long flowering strains seem to use up what's already present). I add a bit of silica, but that isn't a scheduled thing. My veg area is just a simple old 2 tube 4 ft long florescent. Wit regards to yield, it depends. When I'm running new gear, I sex/test flower in one gallons to save space as well as optimize how many plants I can cycle through for first run. A first go round in those small pots will yield at least a minimum of an ounce. Next run is fabric 3 gallon pots, which of course strain dependent usually is close to 3 and sometime more if I allowed rooting to really take hold and not right before transfer. Hope that helps, and if ya have any questions, feel free to ask

I've hit the 1.5+lb mark most of the time per light , growing a large variety of strains. One time I used an organic mix that was still hot and I only managed to hit a little over a unit per light because I'm a dumb fuck. Still was pretty good smoke in the end, not my best work though. That's for sure. I'm using 600's hung vertically. I've been running a straight organic dirt mix since last summer. Outdoors it's been a smash hit. Indoors I'm still tweaking a bit and made a mistake with the compost time. I could bore you with details but I know where I screwed up.

Previously I used GH/Canna lineups in coco. And prior to that GH in peat. I hit similar numbers. Lesser quality. Could have done it better too. Won't be going back.

My buddy recently hit the 2.5 per light mark. He's using 1000's in parabolics with a sort of mini stadium almost vertical not quite setup. It's pretty weird. He used an all organic mix (soil + water only, with compost tea a couple times through flower for 8 weekers and 1 more time for 12 weekers).

I don't use compost tea although I'm going to build a cheap vortex brewer this summer to do some experimenting.

I don't feel like I've done anywhere near my best possible work to date.

It's kinda hard to gauge how much I get for my light, I also use a cool tube as well as different types pot sizes, but according for to my tally, if I wasn't running perpetual, I'd get anywhere from a lb, to slightly more in a full cycle. But I'm always trying new genetics, and weight is not my main concern
