i forgot to mention in this thread, but i think i mentioned it in every single thread posted in the last 3 months on this same grow. 27 gallon container, bcuzz mediumhow many gallons of medium do you have there??
you mentioned light and strain being biggest factors for yield, and yet mention nothing about container size.. that beast of a pot looks to be a good 40 gallons or so to me, that's why you're getting huge numbers imo... may as well be growing outdoors with a container that big...
not knocking the grow, it obviously kicks ass, just bringing up the size of the container being a huge reason you get those kind of numbers..
is this a pound plant? yes or no? pic

eh...i achieved that just with a 400 watter and i mean the zip not the third of.....low estimate imo if i had a thousand watts over that id of probably yielded way more...need to bump up my lighting it looks like..and thanks for confirming that i figured it was mostly amount of light getting these results!!!! looks awesome man!!According to Ed Rosenthal, you will roughly get 1/3 of an ounce - 1 ounce out of ever square foot of canopy. It all depends on variety and how skilled the grower is
so 12x12 inches is a square foot. So from this point on you do the math

yah well no poo, but put a big yielder in a one gallon pot and tell me you get anywhere near the numbers you're getting..
if it's mostly strain, then why the need for 27 gallons of soil?/ just throw that sucker in a one gallon milk bottle and let genetics take over from there..
but yes, some strains won't yield well if you dug a 5 foot hole in the ground and filled it with w/e soil floats your boat, but it will surely out yield the same plant grown in only a half gallon of soil..

that's what i was thinking, about 12-14. maybe a pound, cross your fingers.

well, suppose she gets 36 ounces from those three plants, under 2000 watts.
that's 1008 grams per 2000 watts, that's a gram per watt ratio that even a no fuss grower like myself can manage.

ahh, uncle buck, i'm pretty stoned right now, but i still think 1008 / 2000 is closer to .5 gram a watt, lol..
a buddy of mine is achieving same results in a 5 gallon container using grow cubes, feeds every 3 hours. his main stock is way bigger than mines are. So now your gonna ask, well why dont i do the same? im not a hydro type of guy. never was. Tryed a couple times and failed. container size will have to be compatible to the technique you are using. I cant tell a hydro guy to use a 27 gallon container with dirt in it. so my answer to him will be lighting and strain

i see what hes saying about amount of soil but to me goes without saying that you need a nice sized pot for a plant that big...a plant just wont grow to that size in a gallon pot imo....racer ub is just using stoner math..close ur eyes at .5g a watt take a fat rip and hope that by the time you open em your vision doubled and you have a g per watt

big pots do make a difference, but that amount of light certainly helps. nice work..
actually, when i first started out and didnt know too much i grew this same strain in a 5 gallon lowes bucket with miracle grow and they shot to the ceiling, which was 8 ft. let me see if i can find some pics in one of my thumb drives.i see what hes saying about amount of soil but to me goes without saying that you need a nice sized pot for a plant that big...a plant just wont grow to that size in a gallon pot imo....racer ub is just using stoner math..close ur eyes at .5g a watt take a fat rip and hope that by the time you open em your vision doubled and you have a g per watt
ofcourse they do

I used a canon powershot300 hs to take my last pics and had no prob. So in 5min time you went from a wk to go, to a pic of dried and cured sample buds, which i say cured because you said it tastes great.
Look out Chris Angel, this dudes good. Thats a photo with canon set at 12mp.. No problems.

and it was also stated it was from clone so as i gotta agree 4 weeks 5 days is fast i wouldnt say its not possible...especially if the 2000 watts was used in veg as well
