Anyone grown a 2-3lb plant in DWC? I get 2lb plants in coco dtw and was thinking about trying a DWC run but concerned about the stem/trunk size of the large plants in a system like that. Is this an issue in those nets pots with inert media?

While I dont have photos, Mr Nice Super Sliver Haze will easily do 1lb per plant vegged under a 1000w Hortilux 60 days in 20 gallons Promix BX and no topping. Just bend it over.

One must first select a good pheno of course.

1lb per plant is genetic.

But if one cant get 1lb per plant under 1150w DE HPS something is wrong.

I can pull 28oz per plant with a 60 days veg, and the right plant. My basic Minimum per plant is 1lb. If a strain will not produce 1lb on 60 days veg, and 20g of soil, it gets canned no matter how good it is. Been growing with HID since 1978.

How many plants do you put under one DE?

Depends on how long theyre vegged, and size of container. 2 plants in a 5 x 4 area. Bent Over 20 gallons container.

Heres 1 x 56 gram bud of many after off the stem. This plant did 28oz. You wont get 2 plants this big under a DE 1150w.

I cant stress enough the plants have to be kept bent over from about 3-4 nodes from the top, and do not muck with the growing tip.

And again this is all genetics. Many plants will do 1lb per plant if vegged forever, topp ect, but you lose all kinds of turn around time because one has to veg much longer.

In reality, your better off growing 2-3 smaller plants, 10-15 gallon containers, with less veg time as the turn around is faster, and having more main stems/growing tips may give a boost in yield. Another thing is giving them all the soil possible to reach maximum potential.

One also needs a plant that will stretch alot after its flipped into flowering. Many avoid stretchy plants but I dont and take advantage of the stretch, to reduce veg time.

The above plant was also in a 30 GALLON container.

Id also recommend these as obtaining 1lb per plant to the above specs.

Ask Dave for a Seed List

AKBeanBrains
Consumption F2... HUGE
TK/NL5/Haze... TK/NL5/Hz F3 NL5 Pheno-Haze Pheno.. Potentially HUGE
NL5/Haze.... SAME
Black Domina x PNW Hashplant x Super Skunk... This one will probably be the slowest growing, but really good stuff from what I hear. I have seeds, but not grown it yet.

MR Nice SSH..

This is a staple Easy to find good potent plants in 1 pack of seeds. We F2d 2 packs, and went through a couple 100 females for our keeper, but plenty of good plants. The STRUCTURE of MR Nice SSH is the standard of which I judge all others. Its super consistent. There is more potent weed, but the right pheno can be super potent. I kind of take it for granted Ive had it so long. 10 years. Cant promise the genes are as good as they were 10 years ago though.

Connoisseur Genetics.... Also does collaborations with AKBB... Probably the best HAZE Hybrids on the net, along with Todd McCormick. He may have McCormick beaten for HZ Hydrid cuts.

Connoisseur is in UK...

Ask for seed list.

Nevils OG.. He says this is some of, if not the most potent stuff he ever smoked.... Will reach good plat yield. Not as prolific as the following, but maybe more potent, and flowers earlier.
Consumption F2... HUGE
Super Silver Sour Diesel Haze... Huge Plants... Recommended

For me, yeah you can do just one, veg it a long time and work the shit out of it to get you a pound, but I would rather do like 3, and have a variety of smoke, with a short grow cycle of just 110 days, 42 days veg, and easily pull 1 1/2 pounds every time!

I find it hard to believe - that you find it hard to believe that 8 ounces isn't possible.

8 ounces is a piece of piss to get from 1 plant. Even an autoflower which finishes inb 70 days from seed will smash that by half again to double. Especially if the grower is smart enough to use coco and Not soil :lol:
You are saying you can pull a lb off a single auto?

Yes. A 20 litre pot with coco in a 4x4 tent with a 750w de gavita. At a gram per watt you would need 448w of light. What makes you think it's difficult with a Gavita 750w de? Any average grower should be able to pull 1lb in that set up! I've been growing for over 10 years, mainly auto's. Try it, get that set up and order a single sweet seeds cream mandarin xl. Top it between day 14 and 21.

You may then understand why fewer plants are better than lots of plant. Especially hand watering in coco.

If somebody were to grow 4 auto's in a 4ft x 4ft tent with a 750de gavita, they would be disappointed Not get get 4 zips per plant which is 1lb.

I've gotten 1 pound and a qtr off of one blue dream I vegged for about 6-7 weeks, no Co2, with an LED in a 5x5 in coco. It's definitely achievable. Mine was getting auto fed twice a day for a min with Cx nutrients and power si

Ive been thinking about buying a real deal Blue Dream clone. I knew the yield was really good, but wonder about the high. I can also get a Strawberry Cough.

I also dont have CO2, or any kind of climate controls. Just alot of air. Intake- and out.

In the summer production goes way back because of heat. 10oz less. I can easily get 18oz from 1 plant in a 20 gallon container, and the only work involvued is keeping it bent over as I dont tie them. Its called the lazy mans method. My buddy is old and doing the main grows. I supply seeds, and clones. Weve been friends since 1966.

One of the great things about about shooting for 1lb from 1 plant is this.... Even if you miss the target you will enjoy the ride. I'm enjoying the ride right now...:bigjoint:

Lemon skunk elite clone on day 17 of 12/12.

1st'ly here are her leds. She has 13 points of light, a 4x4 tent, 5 gallon coco perlite air pot. 580w of sanlight v2.1 with a 2700k 100w cob in the middle. She is loving it!

In flowering her buds go rock hard like a full indica. She has a bit more stretching to do, so have tried to hinder the tallest branches to let the others catch up. Only put her in the net an hour ago. I'll be honest I'm expecting to get a lot from this plant. Ina lockdown 'n' all so she is getting ocd attention :lol:

Hi guys,

has anyone got photos of plants on the day they were flipped to 12/12 and produced 14/16/18 oz?

Ive got 2 plants under a 1000w DE in soil and they’re already a good size at about 5 weeks veg (30L / 8gallon pots)

I was thinking about giving them another 2 weeks before I flip but I wanted to see some photos in comparison

thanks
I would flip now or your bud sites are going to suffer. I went seven week veg and all it did was create more sucker branches than I needed.

I have a 600w HPS in a 4x4. I did a 1 plant run, didn’t count the first 2 weeks of growth. After the first 2 weeks it stayed in veg for 7-8 weeks and I harvested about 550 grams dry. I grew 100% organic and was in a 15g fabric pot
