why wont i get big yields?+rep

ok im on a few grows and cant get shit for yields i had everything done right even used the molasses and nothing i tried with a 430w dual ballast system didnt get shit for yield. then i went down to a 150w hps sun system and got a qaurter off a lowryder plant, but besides that i dont get shit for yeild at all any advice i will rep you. i use techniflora nutes and vita bloom and i also use molasses through out the entire cycle. also i do as the web site say to veg them for and i see people with 8 cfl`s bulbs 26w and got 2 oz dried off each plant and i dont get that in wet weight. so whats going on and etc? i flush properly and etc. i did supper cropping, lst, topping fim etc, anyways my budys dont nowhere as fat as anyones i ever seen.

i dunno m8? could be a 100 reasons??? but 1 thing for shore your never get great yields from them auto even in optimum conditions they only yeild like an oz?

hey man, soory to hear about your luck thus far. I have much sympathy and empathy- thus i would like to do what i can to help.

wondering what soil are you using? Also wondering what water you are using (tap/distilled). And what is the PH of soil/water and what is the room temp where you are growing.
what light cycles do you use and when do you switch to flower? and my last question is what are the genetics being used(strain and feminized or not). i look forward to figuring this out. Seems like you have plenty of experience based on your RIU stats so you probably have a good grip on what you are supposed to do. I thought molasses was to be used during the last month of the plants life before flush.

are you changing out the water and nutes wekly? oooops, i'm assuming you're using hydro... how are the plants looking throughout the grow?

Im along for the ride too help. Like Oasis said, give us the complete low down.

Here to help and give input to.... Give us as many details as you can and we can help you as much as we can.

big thing is how the plants are placed under the lights you want all your tops as close to the light as it can be without burning.
any short ones need to go up on something to make them all the same size.i put a plant in the center right under the light and make a circle around it with the other plants .keep them just apart enough to let the light get to the lowers still.i move them and turn them every few days just to help even it out some.

dina fem seeds 18/6 12/12 flowering room temps are at 73 as a high with fan blowing over top and bottom of plant to keep heat from lite and im suing techniflora nutes and fox farm soil. and you can feed it throughout the whole flowering cycle its better that way and yes lowryder yield about 1-2 oz max dried. im using r.o water which is distilled

Yeah auto yield is poopy compared to any non auto. BUT an oz of auto bud isn't too bad considering it takes 70 days to get to harvest time. Plus autos are VERY forgiving. if you fuck up your light cycle accidentally- no worries. They are pretty tolerant to improper feeding and as of recently they have gotten pretty potent.
Favorite plant i grew was an auto AK from lowlife. plant should have been dead considering what i did to her but she yilded 32 g's dry. Cannot beat that for a two month grow.

150w sun system 4- inches from the top of plant lower nodes are lst

I think the molasses is only for sweetening. I dont think it is used as a nutrient.

you ever tried to do a hempy bucket?

i agree with what ya sayin them autos have there time n place but i have yeilded 13oZ from 2 regular fems in the past within 4months so 32gs in 2 months seems kinda pointless but like i said them autos have there time n place, different strokes for different folks n all that!

Well I have to say tell us more about your garden

soil or hydro?

temps, humidity?

you told us the nutes (which I would change)

is it sealed or open?

do you have fresh air coming in?

ventalation?

You told us what lights you have already

Pics would be very helpful

Some one once told me that you should find a good grower and do what they do (was talking about me, not to me)

I just harvested 47.2 grams off one 21 inch tall plant with 97 watts of light, I'm telling you that so you know I'm not trying to blow smoke at you. Please feel free to read my grow journal which is tied to my NooB Advice thread (first 40 pages is a class that I ran, everyone that took it has great grows going now)

a good grow is the sum of all parts, most growers do not take this into consideration as they should

If you take the time to do this (read my 2 threads) then start a grow journal for your current or next grow, I'd be happy to pull up a chair and watch/help

Best of luck

what is the nute ratio u are using and how often do you feed? certain nutes can send soil ph all wacky with hotspots of salt build up etc, etc. Did the plants show any other signs of stress??

without pics its hard to say and what growing medium your using, what strenth nutes are using? How big are your pots? they may be getting root bound, i believe 1 of the keys to a bigger yield is bigger pots, post some pics and we all should be able to help more.

no stress and i have buddies sampsonsimpson420 and mygirls and i do exactly what they do go check out a few of my grows and etc they should be in my statistics. i got fresh air exchange humidity is at 70% during veg and 30% during flowering, and what nutes should i use m.grow? and vita bloom is used for a booster its 0-54-32 and the techniflora is about 9-18-24. i got fans going and etc check my power kush thread thats a recent pic of what im growing

honestly it sound to me, like you are overdoing things and not understanding ur plants needs. maybe im just stoned, but thats what it sounds like to me...
