nice post campbell, did you say you yielded 8oz total, or 8oz each plant?? I know you are only doing a 400w MH instead of a 600w HPS, but the 100w per plant ratio seems about even with me, only I hear HPS is usually more favorable except to offer a spectrum for plants to stretch out instead of grow taller. I also read you said they are clones, that could affect the yield as well.
I was just lookin for info on my expected yield, and I really hope somebody can give me advice with my info given below.
I'm doin 6 plants, 4 tangerine dream and 2 Super Lemon Haze, in a 9'x6', 8 feet high. The pots are about 17 liters each, and my soil is Fox Farms Ocean Forest. I have 1 600w HPS and I'm using General Hydroponics Grow 4-3-3 and Bloom 2-4-4. I don't have a Co2 PPM system set up to regulate a Co2 additive environment, but I plan to use dry Ice in an enclosed area about 6 feet high for the best supplement idea I can afford at the moment. It's clear greenhouse plastic, completely enclosed including the bottom, with the top open to my main living area for ventilation as I live in a studio apartment. I also use the black/white greenhouse plastic to block out the light by putting it up at night to keep from light stressing hermies.
This is my first grow project at the moment, so anybody with any good information on expected yields would be appreciated. I think both strains are rated at 500g per m2, so I was thinking 8oz total off 4 plants would be a pretty low expected number, considering I'm hoping they are at LEAST 3 feet tall. I know tangerine dream can be pretty short, but they can also grow pretty tall. Please, any info on yields using 600w HPS with 4 to 6 plants, or 100w per plant ratio HPS would be appreciated. thanx
