OK so this is my first Gro I’m using 5 gallon coir fabric pots, I have four strains growing special queen/strawberry banana/black sugar/ badazz cookies from seed...Currently they stand in about 20 to 24 inches....did very mild trimming in the vegative stage but I did incorporate some LST...I am using a king plus 1500 led Which from my research was supposed to be equivalent to a 600HPS and 2 100w flourents for flowering....so yeaaa give me some input.... the one with the big nugs thy also has alot of dead lfan leaves is badazz cookies idk why his leaves gave out... mor then the others maybe nugs?? How much can you guys guestimate my yield will be staring flush today on week 11 by flush i mean feed water only.

Looks good from where I'm sitting! I'm on my first grow as well and hope I can get some buds like yours when the time comes. The only suggestion I have would be to trim the dead leaves off. I'll be watching for that final yield

You can't predict yield easily. We can't tell how hard the nugs are, etc. People will tell you about a pound. That's the standard answer. Clean up the dead leaves. Maybe a couple zips? Hard to say.

@Rivers007 the led you refer to is equal to around 250w HPS.

A couple of tips.

Feed less nutrients more often. Don't allow those nutrients to sit in those bowls and be reabsorbed. You have some salt build up.
Sit the plants above a tray, water until 20% run off and remove the run off once its fully drained.
You want a more powerful light next run. More veg time and training.

I did a 5 week veg couldve trained a little more,, but yeaaa im thinking about purchasing another led light 1500 or 2000 king plus good bang for buck or would a 600hps run less electricity?

Another "1500" would put you still under a 600w HPS, not by much. But you have your 100w of fluorescents so combined your over 600w HPS in cost of electricity and lighting.

Regardless of which way you turn for lights, the more you have in veg the quicker your veg growth will be and the better your overall yield.
If you get that salt build up under control you will have even better results next time round. :bigjoint:
You will be filling that space like a boss in no time!!

Agreed looking at the specs for the led he’s using it’s pulling 260 watts.
