What kind of estimated yield will I get from each plant They're about 24 inches at week 3 flower and how often should I water temps have been in the high 90's to 100 haven't seen any problems yet or any sign of leaf colors changing like they burned or got to hot I'm using ffof vegged till they were about 10 to 12 in. Then switched to 12/12 this is my first outie grow I've done indoor with success for 5 years but now I live in colorado and able to go outside but I'm kinda mixing it.
I bring them in under1200 watt led when the weather is too cloudy,rainy or windy so they never miss the light during flower. I only know what strain 2 are and its blue mystic the others are random think there's 1 sativa dominant others seem indica dom.

portability may be an issue, but why grow outside in 5 gallon buckets? go get some 20 gallon totes and you'll see some yields. even 10s would be better than 5s.
plants look nice, by the way

Thanks well its not so bad moving them its all I have to do really and atm I only wanted to try 6 outside and I would keep em outside but I have a big yard with tons of grasshoppers I have a few leaves I've found with the bastards on it with lil eat marks so its just a little outdoor grow to get my hands dirty so I can plan big for the outdoor season next year I can run indoor all year in basement but keeping it dark for these girls till they're done hopefully 4 or 5 weeks

Ok ok.... I get the 5 gal outside is a little off but I only vegged for 25 days I didn't grow a big ass bush for my first grow plus I just moved to where I can grow outside at the end of may so I have to bring them in to my basement (which is outside so no in and out the house) it stays 69 degrees down there at all times during dark period. My little blue mystic that only got to veg 2 weeks looks like it will get at least a half oz on it dry the plants are healthy from what I can tell no signs of weirdness and they are 20 days from the first pistils showing.

It's just people tend to use a lot bigger pots outside. I personally would not go smaller than a 10 gal and even that is pretty small. But to each their own, you'll be fine.

first off lots of people need to have an idea of their yield so that they can make sure their growing enough to sustain their habit for a 2-3month period while they grow more buds.

Ffs. You'll get a quarter yes 7g dry off each if your lucky not being funny. They should be in 3 gal pots at that size. I'd listen to @Roger A. Shrubber and not @doug mirabelli . I have a outdoor girl I'll post a picture tomorrow.
he didn't get it doug.. somethings are just over peoples head, and gotta get all worked up over nothing. I dont know how hes never heard the whole "about a pound" remark. He took it literal lmao :lol:

I got 26 gs 12/12 from seed indoor don't see why it would be around 7gs this is my first outdoor grow but I'm sure not guessing 7gs dry
I threw a random clipping in a 3 gallon pot mid July last season. It was right around the same size as yours. When all was said and done, I ended up with 7 grams from it.

Those are in some tiny ass pots as you can see ....extras that didn't fit in the green houses ....of course I potted them up and ran them fully outdoor. But with proper feeding and training you could do much better even with 5 gal of soil....Be ready to water daily and maybe even twice daily though.....I'm not saying that's the rite way to do things ...But you can get nice plants in that amount of soil ......and yes I was watering those twice per day until setting them into some large smarts ....IMO overwatering has lots to do with small plants in large volumes of soil....just my opinion.

An asshole and opinion is something everyone has .....I have a pic of an extra OGK clone ...planted in a 3 gallon in august ...harvested in mid oct ....much much larger than the pics above ....not shooting you down at all ...just saying you should focus on good watering and feeding habits ......look into topping and LST as well ....super easy and worth the effort ....good luck to you
