a 600w LED will yeild about 1,000 grams.

Ahh the days of about a pound are over arent they? Lol. Its a joke they say because its like impossible to know. I work with a similar foot print and do 7-8oz per plant as clones so I can at least up my chances of getting that again. As well as rosin as its all I do. Its the most yielding Ive found tho.
There are genetics that can do double that but got to find it and clone it or get as many seeds of it as you can. To get that again. Otherwise its a crap shoot. Ive done less than that and this run I got shorted idk why. Only 5 oz clones for a couple clones so far. The rest might be more.
Got to pack them thick but also avoid mold.

This one is 625w but its dimmed down to 25% because i cant raise the light more.. last grow i yielded 550g from the same LED. Im
Hoping to do better this time, the plants are topped and lst. Removed all the bottom canopy. This is my first time training them
For so much. 1000grams would be a dream to come true. But i duobt it.

You should be able to turn the light up more than 25% at this stage. 2 weeks into flower with my LED and I am @ 100% light
Should i crank it up to 100% or 50%? Theres 35-50cm between the light.. im scared they will burn.

Try 75% first and if they like it then turn it up to 100% after a week. If you don't turn it up then you will lose out on a lot of yield.
This cheap led only dims to 25% 50% or 100%. I cranked it to 50% now and will look for any changes in the next week or so.
Also im a little worried about mold its 45 RH% in the tent rn, it hovers around 40-55%.
I have a fan blowing from the bottom and from the top should this be enough to not catch any problems in the future weeks? Also had a little problem with fungus gnats thats why i covered the soil with 3cm of perlite.
The pots are 35L HUGE pots lol. And i water them from the bottom not on top. The retarded one in the top corner thats the one that im watering from the top and its not liking it. I just suck at watering from the top. I think thats the reason the fungus gnats got there because i overwatered 1 plant.

Genetics are everything with Autoflowers and overall growth in yields. My last grow with Spoeedrun Genetics between 2 plants netted me almost a full lb. Just an oz shy. All in LOS and first time with Autopots, I was happy. My goal is a coco grow next run this fall, with the autopots and Dahkine nutrients (first time trying). My goal is 10 oz per plant or more!
Your grow looks good and depending on how those buds build mass, you could push a potential 1100-1200 Grams of Dry when done. Hard to tell when they are still growing. When you trim do you wet trim or dry? If you wet trim, weigh your wet trim prior to drying and subtract anywhere from 25% to 30% of water loss, you should be close to your dry weight.

Thats great to hear.. i still duobt myself. Last run like i said same setup only 500g ish

45% humidity is fine. I'm running between 45 - 50% 8 weeks into flower and the buds are rock hard solid dense nugs and I don't have any issues.
Here is a VPD chart for you to follow.
If you would have to say a rough estimate on the yield how much would you say im going to get? I rather set my self up for smaller yield , maybe i will be surprised once im done.
I will hang dry the plants and trim once the stems break.
Thank you sir!

Just need good fans and exposure to those fans for powdery mildew. As for budrot it will help if exceeding 45rh briefly but if too often and for too long it might mold if colas are fat enough. They become fat enough pretty easily. Ive had mold at 45-55rh with no circulation.
I doubt a small fan would fix it so I doubled down on lowering humidity and using box fans for circulation.

It was fine for a while but once I got PM I had to redo my grow from bottom up. Yielding much less and finally getting back up there.
Never had powdery mildew before. I did have budrot on 1 of my plants like 2 years ago. Im still kinda new to this stuff. I only got 6-7 harvest under my belt.

When you pack them in a space and they want room to grow, they get upset and stay more compacted. Lesser means additional air flow as well, to keep that powdery mildew at bay. Grow a lesser number and see what happens.
I run a 4X4 but am only able to do inside grows late fall and late winter to Spring. The reason is my tent is in my upstairs room, as it is the only area available. It gets way to hot late Spring and through Summer, even with AC where I am at, not a legal state. I only grow 2 at a time now. Using with the Autopots, I noticed quite a bit more growth, even with LOS. I figure with coco and more regular feedings ( I will run the Dakine in my reservoir this run) last time I only used nutes twice through the grow and just fed microbes. This time will feed Microbes and additional daily nutes. Good luck and let us know your end weights!

PM aint that bad once the grow is built to withstand it. The budrot is worse because when tents are packed and rh cant be lowered, air circulation is all you have. Without it its surely to come back unless lucky. I trash any molded plants so Im not taking much risk. Sometimes the buds are just not budrot prone in that case 60rh can fly.
