How much does yield differ in most cases when you veg a plant 1 month compared to 4 months? Say I had 2 tents the size being 10' x 10' x 6.6' . I'm running 2000w HPS in my flowering room with 5 plants total. My strains are 450-600g yielders. How much would the yield differ if I vegged them 2 month compared to 4 months? Using soil.

It’s all relative.
Besides you do realise that yield quotes on breeders sites are generally performed using the SOG method in 1mX1m footprint.
yield is relative to the environment you provide, the nutrients you feed, the strain that you choose, the phenotype that is displayed and finally the growers experience.
A seasoned grower can veg for 4 weeks and maximise the footprint of their light for efficiency over an even canopy of multiple plants.
Feeding a balanced nutrient regime and not over feeding.
Usually hitting +1gpw With HID lighting. More gpw usually with LED.
a novice grower without any experience could fuck it all up before even getting to flower.
But just so you have a decent answer
“About a pound”

I'm not a fan of long vegging times. I like short veg for a faster turnaround. Plus if you're vegging that long you're going to have to do a bunch of training to keep the height down and I don't like fiddling with the plants. I might top once and then supercrop after that. I rarely veg longer than 6 weeks.
I didnt know that about the yield quotes on breeder websites actually. And that's alot better than I expected if everything is done right with the right strain u could get a pound per plant in a month veg. That's alot better than I was thinking it would be unless I misunderstood u. Preshiate the knowledge
Sounds like about somethin I plan on doing too. I do want faster turnaround . I just want good yield too. Sounds like u can easily accomplish both that way. Thank u

Yeah about a pound is a piss take lol.
it’s the usual response when people ask how much will I yield lol.
4 weeks veg Then flower using 250w is not gonna produce the same as 4 weeks veg and flower with a 1000w.
more light usually equals more yield but only to a point.
there’s also the light saturation point where too much light can cause issues.
then there’s the fact you’re planning seeds each time.
you could buy 10 seeds.
plant 5 ( feminised )
All 5 of those same strain plants could grow very differently and exhibit different traits of its lineage each and every time.
that’s why people pheno hunt to find that 1 special plant that produces good yields and dense buds in a decent amount of time.
but again this takes time to organise and sort through.
you could go through 100 different seeds trying to find that 1 keeper phenotype.
I'll keep that in mind. It looks like it'll definitely take me alot of time to pheno hunt but I definitely will when the time comes and I look forward to it. I'm glad I know this now tho this is why everybody says growing is alot of experience when it comes to certain things. Thank u for informing me
