Yield and quality not right

Hey guys, sorry to break the admins rules, but I don’t think a picture is necessary here.
I have finished 5-6 grows now (10l, soil, 100w led, organic fertilster, tap water every 2-3days) and 3 of them yielded only 3 grams while others yielded from 25-90.

The quality is also not great, the buds are airy and you can even see through.

The only thing I changed from previously is instead of BioTabs now I use BioBizz which costs me 5 times as much.

My guess would be the medium.The only explanation I have for this is that there is an issue with the roots, probably to much water at the bottom of the pot.
Please let me know if any of you had these problems and how you fixed it. Feels like my results are dropping every grow.

So many factors here to ever pinpoint exactly...but my guess would be lack of light intensity and either under or over fertilization. If you're anything like me and make the mistake of adding bloom nutes too early can def hurt yield too. It'll get better each harvest as you learn these issues.

I have a 50x70cm space that I light with a 100w led. Most grows were done with only one plant. The light is a Spiderfarmer sf1000
The wierd thing is I used the same setup but the results are so different. I grew autoflowers and the ones from sweet seeds yielded very bad. Is it maybe the strain (Dark Devil Auto)?

Dark devil were the only plants I've killed on purpose. All 5 plants grew like ctap. Some have had good ones though.
I tried them like 4 yrs ago.
I've also learned that I don't like purple strains. They look nice but thats about all they're good for. I find them very lacking in all aspects.

air
water
light
temp
humidity
nutrition

These all are the factors that contribute to growing. Also if you can tell people your methods and all these variables you can figure out the problem

Probably overwatering. If your plants only have 3 grams of bud growing on them in 10 liter pots and you're watering them every 3 days, they won't have time to evaporate all of the previous water. This is made worse if your temperatures are low and humidity high. Also plants that are overwatered and barely alive won't be using the nutrients you're adding, which makes the rootzone conditions even worse. Next time add more perlite and maybe a bit of coco coir. I'd also use smaller pots (fabric pots are good), there's no point in using 10 liter pots for 30 gram plants.

That could be the problem or atleast a part of it. I would try and grow a femmed photo plant from a reliable breeder. Biobizz nutes are not bad so that is not the problem and 100w for a single plant is fine. I mean your setup sounds ok so unless you majorly fucked something up you shouldn't get 3g plants.

All the autos I've grown have yielded between 135 and 190g and they were my first runs, so I don't think the plant being an auto has anything to do with it.

But perhaps shite seeds? They did say the real bad ones were all the same strain, if i got it right. Trying other autos would be ok too of course. I just think it might be good to try a photo plant. Veg it up to a certain size and it's impossible to yield only three grams off of a plant that survived more than two weeks of flower ;)

I got a 4x4 tent i had 2 marshydro ts1000 9 plants 5 cherrygasum 4 sour diesel i got 9 zips i was told the drivers wasnt very good so they wasnt really pushn wht thy could so i also had light airy buds bouta zip a plant and only basic nutes calmag micro gro bloom so like errbdy else on hrr said could b a number of thngs i was told light will change alot

It makes a big difference when you try and run multiple plants under lower lighting intensities for sure

That's exactly why I went autos with the lack of lighting I had at the time. For example the TS 600 was putting out 580umol for 20hours giving a DLI of 42. If I was running photoperiod and had to drop to 12/12 the TS would not have been adequate with a DLI around 24. Intensity or wattage doesn't mean anything, only DLI.
