5x5 ( 1.5mx1.5m ) Max Yields

Its a little personal i know... However i have had several attempts in my 5x5 and my best efforts are 2.2ish pounds... Its pretty good i feel, however im not the best grower on earth, and was wondering if anyone can give me a number that is bigger for me to chase and achieve with future yields.

What light and wattage are you running? Figure out your grams per watt and try to beat it each grow. Take really good notes so you can look back and see what was different each run. Best of luck hitting a new personal best. I just got my 5x5 tent and I have a nice new light to see how I can do in a bigger tent. I mainly want more space to work. I'm not really concerned with yield as my 4x4 grew way more than I needed.
 
I am running 2 x Spider Farmer SF4000s LOL, overkill yes, but i only run at 80% and i get max coverage. all up its 900watts from the wall @ 100%, so around 700ish @ 80% ? i usualy have them about 20 inches from canopy... This achieves a PPFD off about 650 to 700. Thats somthing im learning about actually ? I have heard without Co2 we can push 850ish ? anything more requires Co2...

During flower 850 shouldn't be a problem. Each strain had it's limits and peculiarities so just watch the plants and go up in small increments. If you hit 1.5 grams per watt which is achievable for sure you'd be around 2.67 pounds

3lb should be achievable with a good strain and well trained plants.

I've hit 2.2lb in 16 Square foot before so with 25 square feet you can do better.

Your yields are nothing to scoff about though
 
I agree with 3 lb, but you should shoot for 4! Find a good yielder with hybrid vigor, use clones of it, and fill the canopy with budsites.
Ill try 3 first :'D

I can pull about 1 lb. from a fully occupied 2 x 4 SCROG. Are you able to completely fill the 5 x 5? Or do you need to leave some areas open to maintain the plants in the back corners?
I can completly fill now yes! I have only learnt the art of scrogging the last year ( still learning ) some of the buds do lean against the walls of the tent somtimes... hope that is ok lol ? I seem to struggle to get decent buds anywhere 8-10 inches or so below the canopy due to lack of penetration. So perhaps i need to lollipop more ?

Without, with CO2 the pros go up into 1250 and higher. I burned my colas this last run because I was running 1200 and didn't know it until I got a lux meter. I'm going to start this next group at 800 and work it up until I see stress.
yea i have heard of this.... i honestly get stress at 750 - 800, i use many fans at a 24 c temp room.

Every strain will be different as to it's light needs. Running clones multiple runs helps to really dial it in but I like variety so I usually have a new strain or two each run.
I did the math and you're around 75 degrees which might be part of the reason. I've found LED grows want to be warmer, at least 80 and most of my strains like 82-84F so I'd say you want it to be around 27C. They seem to be more tolerant of high light at warmer temps. I don't know what humidity levels you're running but this VPD chart was helpful for me to understand where I should aim during each stage.
Good luck hitting your target yield!

Cheers mate this help alot!

About a pound
in a 1.5 m square sir you must aim for more ! however 1 pound of good stuff is better then half a p of nonsense,
