how much do think my yield will be?!!!

I have 3 ak-47 females that are 2 weeks into flowering under a 1000 watt sun system hps light. It is cooled by an inline fan and has a horticulture bulb. Each plant is in a 3 gallon bucket and is 2 feet tall by 1 and half to 2 feet wide. There at lease 18 branches coming off the main stem from each plant.

I have been hearing too many different opinions on yeild from differnt growers and I was hoping I could get some good educated guesses. I am using this to pay for my last quarter of college so its kind of important I get a ball park of my yield. Thank to everyone that helps!!!!!!

There are way to many varibles for any one to give you a accurate estimate

roughly 6-10 ounces dried, provided everything goes perfectly.

how big is your canopy? with a 1000 watts for just three plants, try transplanting them to bigger pots before flowering and you will probably yield more than that.

if this is your first grow, expect to yield less than half of that (not that you will, but it's better to the prepared for worst case especially if you're trying to make money)

Pics would help, but I'd say around 5 ounces

picks would be nice....I have no Idea.. On my first grow I Averaged 2.5 oz. a plant. but only do to this site....... I read and read and spent mad money about $1100. my first grow yielded me 5 oz. @ $250 a pop =$1250. $150 in the green, so now my next harvest will be mostly profit, minus the power bill. I'd say on your first go plan on making nothing all-in-all.

1000 watts???? if you wanna make money you should have like 10 more plants under their to many things effect yeild its hard to say what you will get without seing the plants and then its still hard to say

need pics to tell

As for the pictures I don't have a camera but you my girls are very bushy with many overlapping leaves. If you guys have any specific questions to ask that would help you determine a good gues ask away!

Yeah thanks wizzard I planned on repotting to 5 gallons soon. And tussel I have 5 others that are are 3 weeks behind I'm about to put under the 1000 watt. Thanks guys ! o and this is my third grow for those who were wondering but my sencond one got broken and pissed on two weeks into flower thanks to my girlfriends angry brother.

Oh and one more thing my buddy that has more expierence came over and pinched the main stem near the middle of plant till it kinda broke and said this should make it so more nutrients go up the shoot. What are your guys thoughts on this?!

o and as for canapy i striped all the bottom 6 inches of nodes because my plants are so bushy that no light reaches the bottom.
