how much weed i will get off one plant?
- Thread starter almightyfinesse
- Start date
While it is true none of us knocked it out of the park on our first indoor grow....
How many of us do you think showed up here and asked "what will my yield be"?

You can never guess how much bud based on plant size. So many factors decide.... light, nutrition, medium, and overall conditions. I think you need to double that light. I find with CFL lights I want at least 200 actual watts CFL per plant. I really use more like 300 actual watts CFL for vigorous vegging. CFL light does not work well unless it's very close as in 1-2" proximity all around the plant. If you want more bud and better penetration you will need to flower with better HID light like MH, HPS, or LED. I use the CFL to veg now and bring in LED to flower.

I'll bet your guess and mine are at least 16 oz. apart.More than one pound

Looks great for a first grow, even more so for 12/12 from seed with cfl. Keep up the good work!

plant looks good and healthy. Awesome. You should actually be getting more production from those lights. If you construct a grow box to trap some of that light and push it into the plant youd probably have pulled an extra 1/4 off it. Youd need some low stress training on it as well. I hope you documented your journal with dates and nit just nutrients and notes. Flip times on small grows are very important. Good luck

It's always very difficult to guess what the yield will be even with ones own plants, but to guess the yield from a week old pic is really just a wild guess.
1 to 2 ounces is my guess

I'm surprized nobody picked up on this, you have added 2700k + 2700k + 6500k = 11900K
These are the temperature ratings of the light bulb, not the output

where do you get led from and how much do they cost ?

I believe you can get more than a gram a watt.

I find the best way to measure is a zip per square foot. Which if you use a 400w, comes out to about 5-6 oz's in a 2.5' x 2.5'grow, which 400 divided by 5 is providing 80w per sq at the canopy, with significant light dimming happening, by /2, every foot away from the light, so a plant 2 foot tall is only getting 40w at 2 foot away from the light.....

I got kinda confused as to where you were going with this, but that works out to .35 grams/watt. But like I said, I'm not sure exactly what the moral to the story was, but I'll chalk that up to it being 5am haha

Because the whole gram per watt nonsense is bullshit....
Thats not not to say its impossible, it's just nonsense to think that unless you're raking in over a gram per watt that your grow is wasteful and inefficient.
the ounce per foot rule is more realistic and far more average of what most folks get out of their grows, it also helps knowing how much light you need to fill a space.
Gram per watt rule is for specific strains that have the capability to put out a gram per watt.
