Nice crop man! So envious.

Thanks! Now I Just hope I can get close to 2oz's per plant

Bump....

I'd really like some of your experienced opinions on this! Thanks!

Yeah easy, converted to grams its 566 grams what you want with a 1000w HPS bulb. Good farmers get 1gram per Watt And normal dudes between the 0,6- 0,8gr/watt.
If you threat them good they will reward you well.

thanks.... but how does that have to do with any kind of treatment of the plants in order to reach the yield of around 2 oz per plant? I am trying to figure out what I am doing that is resulting in such a small yield.

You'll probably meet your goal, but next time if you really want to maximize yield, lst them... You'll double + what you did this time.

Did you actually look at the pictures? those babies have been Lst'd Hst'd and supercropped.....

Well, they look like they could've been LST'd a whole lot more.

if you can set up a recirculating drip system or a flood and drain (rubbermaid 20+gallons) with a water pump , air pump and air stones its pretty simple. you just need a reservoir tub and put the soil pots in a smaller bin inside with holes to pump the water up then drain back. you can control how long its flooded with oxygenated water/nutrients and works with almost any size of pots up to 5 gallons +. even without a timer, plug the water pump in for 15 or 30 minutes unplug it when done.

You said the first grow was your first in 10 years, right? Also, if I'm reading correctly you said you got them from someone when they were dying? That could be a good portion of the problem in the first batches yield. The only thing I've heard that can effect things sometime is transplanting them. You said you did multiple times, so that could cause extra stress, but I don't know. I'd say if they look healthy and everything then see what you get this second time and you'll know where you really stand. It could very well be that the plants you were given were just damaged, and spent much of their time trying to recover and that hurt the weight. Really just my opinion, but a bad yield once with dying plants doesn't mean that's what will happen this time.

I dont think you did much wrong. Maybe check your Ph of your water, to high value will give some problems with nutrients but from the pictures i cant see that, they look healthy. Waht post above says, transplanting causes stress and done in flowering time it affecst the blooming.
First grow (in 10yr) arent topnotch, the second grow must be better and sometimes you have just bad luck and not a fat harvest.

Sorry if im not that helpfull, english isnt my main language so sometimes things come different out of my keyboard then it was in my head

I guess it's just my bad.... I was expecting someone to read and look at the details of my grow and give some SPECIFIC advice as to how I can increase my yield.

Everyone here talks about how they pull around 1g per watt, but no one likes to talk about how. Oh well... I guess this site is really only good if your plant is dying of an overdose of nutes, or you have a nitrogen/cal mag deficiency, because 99% of the answers to OP's post are just that.....little disappointed . but thanks to the last 2 posters for being able to articulate their responses.

keep your light on temp more stable,closer to 75.and try not to let you lights off temp drop to below 65.i would try to keep it more like 75-77 on 65-70 off.
do not over water,let the soil dry out a fair bit before you water.too high temps,too low temps,over watering,over feeding and under feeding will normally decrease yield.also growing a good yielding strain will help too.under a 1000 watter you should be getting yields of 2-2.5 oz a plant easily,even with a pretty short veg time.

i never use full strength nutes,at most when i get to the last few feedings i use 3/4 strength.so i start with 1/4 strength then move up to 1/2 strength,the 3/4 strength.
how often do you feed?do you feed,water,water,feed or what?

I alternate water and feed, I water when the plant/soil tell me.. which has been around every other day for the flowering plants, and every 3 days for the vegging plants.I am slowly stepping up my nutes every harvest, I started at 3/4 and now I am at 1 1/4 and they are responding great. I thought that a 10-15 degree drop at night is beneficial during flowering, so I thought the 70-75 temps with the lights on and 61-70 degrees with the lights of would be Ideal. The temps really are very stable, and the humidity will go up if we are having heavy rainstorms. The plants look very healthy and the buds are gorgeous, so I am hoping that this round of plants (which were cloned and raised by me) should yield just a little more than the sickly plants did. My grow rooms are very very clean, and I bleach them down every 2-3 weeks just to be careful (with the plants removed of course). I guess I will just have to wait the 4 weeks to see how the numbers look on this new crop. The next 9 are already ready to start flowering, but will also veg an extra 4 weeks, so I am training the hell out of them in an effort to keep them from getting too tall.

Ok loud and clear, if i use normal nutrients and no boosters i get 0,6gram a watt so technically, answering your question, you dont have to do any except feeding it. You wil get 2-3 oz a plant.
I think even it were rescue plants, you did good. But for the topnotch turboharvest i still seek the golden egg

And usually when talking about per watt.. people are using thousands of watts rather than a single 1000watt light.. you know what I mean so how many watts are you using in your grow?


some chernobyl from the sick plant harvest:
