Wondering what my yield should be I'm using 6 315watt Cdl Argo lights over two 4x8 tables 3 lights over each table and 32 5 gal pots on each table, I'm using co2 and cyco nutrient line. My first run ever was just over 2 lbs but that dosnt seem right I feel like I should be getting anywhere from
6 to 8 lbs. I did stress the plants due to poor watering conditions seeing how I have to bring water in because my well water is high in iron and hard , the plants don't like it so I bring it in in 5 gallon buckets from the spring

Welcome to RIU, and the wonderful world of cultivating the world's most misunderstood and feared medicines!!!

The only 'advice' I can give you or anyone is to read and learn and then apply what you have read and learned to your garden and you cannot fail. Anyways, remember the search tool is your friend...Lots of folks here willing to help a new farmer get up and growing. But at the end of the day your grow will be only as good as the knowledge and work you put into it.

It is always great to ask questions but do not take anyone's advice or opinions and follow blindly. Do your own research, you will be much happier knowing you have done it for yourself and by yourself. The first buzz you get from your own budz...is by far the BEST high you will ever have!

Do a search using your current question as the keyword(s) and ZOOOM!! Like Wonka's Great Glass Elevator…off you go to tons of threads answering all your questions. Read all the Newbie Central stickies and learn…

After that you are a seasoned vet. Because to soak up all that information and sift through it, is going to take time. You will likely finish your first grow by then. Viola! grow complete and education well under way.

No one can tell you what your yield, should, could, or would be. Way to many variables. Your grow will produce as much bud as it will under the conditions you are growing in.

That actually sounds like a decent yield for the lights you have. Some ways you can push it higher are longer veg times and crowding things a little more. Just make sure your dehu is keeping up because with crowding can come other problems. The best you can probably do with a "normal" setup is like a gram and a half a watt. A gram a watt is great. The norm is around .75 gpw and .5 is a poor showing.
Lots of guys have eyes bigger than their lights and think theyll pull waaayyy more than is possible from the lights power. Just remember to use everything and youll do just fine.

I was told that it's possible to pull 2 lbs per 1000watt. The lights I'm using are said to have the equivalent of a 1000 watt for every two lights and I'm using three each table, i was growing blue cheese my first run. I'm hoping to to better this round and will be turning the lights this coming week. I'll snap a pic of my setup if I can figure out how to upload it.

I have much to learn when it come to indoor growing. I have many bad habits and don't bother even checking my ph, not sure about the ppm either but I know I can do better than 2 lbs with 6 lights

The biggest factor in weight is genetics. You can run the same way twice, once with critical mass, and once with blackberry kush, and the critical will give you 1.5 gpw and bbk will give you .8 gpw. Just remember theres usually an even tradeoff between potency and yeild. ;)

Well if I could get 1.5gpw and with the lights I have add up to 1800 watts then that would be around 6 pounds per run and I would be really happy with that!!! To much risk for only getting 2lbs along with the cost of equipment and time invested
