I am just finishing up my 3rd grow using 150W HPS, Foxfarm organic soil, and General Hydroponics nutrients. I have been told to expect 1g per W of light so out of a 150W if I do everything 100% perfect i should around average 5oz.

the first 2 grows have yielded a little more than 1oz. so I am pretty far off. The bud is definitely good quality, great smell/taste and gets me and my pals super stoned. But I want to know how I can get more out of my grow.

I realize I can be adding different nutrients and mixing different things in my soil but I would like to know from a pro and their experience what things you have done that have improved potency or yield of your bud.

I always make sure the pH of my water is 6.5 and during flowering up until flushing I use molasses but nothing other than that.

(my first grow was 4 plants under 150 HPS yield=36g and the second was 1 plant under same 150 HPS yield=35g)

ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!

You will be hard pressed to get 1 g per watt. That is the rule but in reality if you get .5 g per watt your doing well.The best way to increase yeild is to get everything right, food, air, water, humidity, Co2 and light. When you have all these right you will get the most from your plants. Takes years to get it right and then some. I have been growing for 25 years and I am still learning. I get on average 800g per 1000w.

Yes I do use molasses during flowering and I have been LSTing. I saw someones grow where they LST one plant of AK48 under a 150 HPS and some LEDs and the results were very impressive, huge yield. Why may LEDs be bad or good?

@woodsmaned! can you tell me any more on how you keep your food, air, water, humidity and light right?

Prrof that it dont matter how many you grow under 1 light you will only yield the same,be it 1 plant or 10.

You need bigger lights and bigger pots my friend and may be a different straine..
Your nutes and every thing sound fine,its your lights and bucket sizes.
