more yield

I currently veg 4 clones at a time. They veg for 2 weeks, then go to flower for 9 weeks. In this manner, I can get almost 5 grows a year. I am trying to figure out if I would get more yield on a yearly basis by vegging for 5 or 6 weeks, and only having 3 grows a year.
Anyone know. I wanna get the largest yield of my current strain. I can only grow 4 at a time because of local laws.Just don't know if 5 smaller crops would be more than 3 larger crops.

i think if you vegged longer u would get bigger plants, thus more/bigger buds. how much do you get off each plant on average that you veg for 2 weeks?

also if you dont already, add molasses to your watering routine during flowering. sugar/molasses supplements can augment your finished dried bud weight by up to 20% over no using sugar supplements.

more harvest per yr = more yield per yr. so lets say you veg a big plant for 1 month and it yields you 2 lb, while u can veg 35 plant for 1 wk and you'll yield 25g per plant and that will give you 2lb. So now you can harvest more per year then spending half of the yr vegging.

I usually get about 5-6 Oz. That equals 25-30 Oz./year. I know my yield will increase with longer veg, but is it enough to compensate for the loss of a couple grows??? If I vegged for six weeks, I would have get 9-10 oz. per grow. Is that extra 4 or 5 weeks veg gonna double my yield per grow???

i doubt it will double it cause the light wont hit much below the canopy causing you to have nothing but small buds, it may raise your yield 15-20%, however do the math.. is it worth the time? the system your using now is probably the best, only thing I can recommend is breaking the law and vegging 4 plants while your flowering 4 others, that can double your harvest amount.. i understand that might not be an option for you though, I dont think I'd be able to control it :)

it could, you never know. 5-6oz per plant is pretty damn respectable though, especially for only 2 weeks veg. i say u try just one of the grows with a long veg and see how it turns out, i think thats the only way your ganna get a 100% answer.

ok 2lb every 3 months = 8lb per yr

as oppose to sog 2lb every 2 months = 10-11lb per yr. ; for this you are vegging for 1wk which is x 6(the amount of grow you can do in a yr) is like 1 1/2 month so your only losing almost 1 grow.

these are just example amount of yield you yourself can grow per grow, it will very from a growers experience.
