Ok I'm new to thsee threads so please bare with me. I have a few questions and I will provide as much info to help get your best opinion.

Q1- what would my dry weight yield be around/close to? I know this question Is strain
dependent but an educated guess is acceptable , and I will be starting flowering at about 1.5' to 2' For approximately 55-60 days with a 7-8 week vege time

Q2- I have 20 plants Different strains
-1 White Rhino
-1 blue dream
-1 pineapple kush
-1 super skunk
-3 criticle kush
-3 money makers
-2 afgooey kush
-2 central valley kush
-3 Big bud
-3 Big bang
Should I let them all grow? select a few? Yield being number one concern. Oh and I have 9' ceilings aswell!

Grow Room -

-12'x5'x9'
-1600w (1)1000w HPS (1)600w HPS
-Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil
-Bottled spring water was using distilled
-General Hydroponics Aqua Duo recommended strength and Jungle juice recommended strength every 2-3 days as needed I will switch to just Aqua Duo next week are these decent nutes?
-5gallon pots. I started them in Dixie cups than transplated to 1 gallons now there in 5 gallon pots for the remainder of the cycle, should I use bigger pots? I think I'm maxed out in lights and space fir bigger pots?
-Temp doesn't get over 77 degrees F stays pretty stable may drop Down 2-3 degrees depending on outside temp
-And I have been
religiously defoliating. And LST training



-cannot add More space, co2 fir this cycle maybe another small light possibly another hps 150w but I only want to add another light for now only if it drastically improves my current yield expectancy.
Thx all info and suggestions will be appreciated

Since you are new I will inform you that yield post end up with 4 pages of outlandish guesses. There are far too many variables at play to make even a extremely rough guess as to yield.

So in keeping with tradition I will say 57.25 pounds of smokable product and 9 pounds of moldy hash fodder.

So roughly 60 pounds in the current setup I was guessing 5lbs. I know there are many different variables but assuming everything went par witha few hiccups close to 60? I

The're really too many different factors to consider so it's impossible to predict yield other than making an educated guess.

Did you say your feeding nutes at recommended strength every 2-3 days? "General Hydroponics Aqua Duo recommended strength and Jungle juice recommended strength every 2-3 days as needed"

If you are I guess total yield to be between 0g - 200g

Your growing in ff soil so you shouldn't really have to start feeding them much of anything until about week 2 of flower.

If this is not the case and you have feeding/ airflow/ temps etc. dialed in, you could expect maybe 1000g - 1400g

Also most of those strains will really require to go at least 70 days, the breeders recommended flower times are purely guestimate and to be used only as a very rough guide.

Best of luck bro, drop back and let us know your yield in 4ish months

We're breaking your balls because yield questions are silly and classic and we've pretty much all asked our first times too.
There's no way to tell.
A realistic guess would probably go something like this...
like the dude who posted above said, experienced growers try and get 1 gram per watt. If you get half of that on your first run then you did a good job and if you get more then congratulations!

Ya, those answers are classic Rollitup ^ lets fuck with the new guy trying to ask a question!

It was said before. Take the lighting Watt's add them together, in your case 1600+1000+600 watts=3,200 if you get 1 gram per watt that's 3,200 grams divided 448/3200=7.142 lbs!

If you pull that with the variations of strains your running quit your day job and move to Colorado!

Note: anything under .5 grams a watt is generally considered a failure.

Good Luck

The general rule is "1 foot of plant height should equal @ 1oz. of buds" indoors gets you in the ball park for a normal growing plant.

Good Luck on Your Grow

If you've been religiously defoliating then you're cutting the rug out from underneath your feet.

Photosynthesis happens because of leaves.

There's nothing wrong with pruning plants based on the inverse square law of artificial lighting, but generally defoliating will not help you out at all.


If I understand correctly you will be using a 600+1000w in total 1600w.

With 20 plants is fair bit lacking over all.


I will say you'll achieve around 600-800g of dry smoke.

Correct I'm using 1600w total lighting.
I Respect your opinion but, since I've been defoliating I've noticed the node growth atleast double compared to plants I didn't. But I do know I will not Defoliate the last week of vege and the entire flower cycle.
Do you think I could get more yield from fewer plants in bigger pots with the same lighting?
And I don't feed nutes every 2-3 days, every feeding I switch from water back to nutes so on and so on.

Other than how I'm growing it, but with my Supplies and space is there any ideas in what I can possibly change, add, or adjust to increase my yield. I'm looking to produce about 10 lbs.
Jokes are funny but ide appreciate honest ,tried out proven tactics, remember the info I learn as a newbie I will one day pass on to anothwe newbie. Thank you for your time and thoughts
