Harvest guessions?

I have 6 plants they all are in 2 gallon pots, 4 of them vegged about 30 days and rest of them vegged 15 days then I switch to flowering cycle.

I'm using 250w full spectrum COB Led which my tent 2x4.

The pictures has been taken on the day 26-27 of bloom.

Feeding with low N high PK fertilizers.

Here is the question, how much I can get from these plants? The thickness of the buds approximately 1.5 forefinger.

Can I get 7 oz total?

Thank you so much.

If you wait anouther 7 weeks, this would possibly, maybe? Make it to 7oz? Idk though. Hope for 2oz when ya get 7oz be happy.

Yep 7oz… actually no… nobody can tell you final weight just by looking at these pics; too many variables. Be happy to get a zip or 2 off each plant; 7 oz total dry weight is a lofty goal but not impossible. They look very healthy but could have been vegged longer if maximum yield was the goal.

when I run in 1 gal pots, I can get between 1-5 jars from a single plant. Depends on the plant.

They look good , I don't think 7 oz is unreasonable but as others have said it's much to early to guess . What strain is that ? They're downright furry with pistils .

İt's a regular afghan kush strain, one of them 25cm and so bushy with fat buds. Others are 45cm height others have thin but long buds.

They've only just began flowering, patience is key you have a waaaays to go. Grab a bag, twist one and just relax.
Youve got like 2 months to go still.

i get close to 7 oz in a 2x2 under 125w when everything goes well and the plant is a good producer and the tent is covered wall wall to with buds so much so that no light hits the ground.

so next time better training and longer veg will be your friends but whats important is they look ok for now i’d worry about keeping them healthy instead of yield if you keep them healthy they will provide.

Your light is also a limiting factor.


You want 300w of high efficiency white leds.
You've got 250w of not so efficient blurple COB

It will grow and probably produce nice bud, but it wont produce as much as the optimum amount of light will under the same conditions

Your aim right now should be to get through the grow with healthy plants, to the end and then be grateful for what you get.

In the future you can tweak that space and gain experience to start maximising it.

Bout a pound

You're going to have a few ounces, quarter pound if your lucky. You need more light, these plants are resource hogs. 250w cob LED isn't going to give you a half pound.

i disagree with you on this i was constantly pulling around 1.3lbs under 450w of diy cobs. so 250w can give you half a pound and a little more depending on several factors. i still run my 4x4 under 480w and getting 700gr+ eventhough its an older model bar type leds. 4 lumatek attis 200w not the most efficient by any means.

so my point is again you can get 1.4-1.5w gr without much effort with right genetics and setup. this is what i am doing for example and i get more than half a pound per 250w for sure.

Thanks every one for replied this question. I will update this topic when I get harvest. Dried yield will be shown with pics

You should update it with pictures before you harvest so we can all help you make sure you harvest at the correct point to get the best results .

Update time

Flowering day 42.

Pics taken today buds are getting thicker and thicker. And stems are struggling to carry bud sites. I think I harvest about 10-12 days maybe? Plus 3 days dark period. 13-15 days is ideal I think. What you guys are thinking? Are they looking good?

YOur plants do look good, nice and healthy.

They will not be done any time soon. Those plants have more then a month left, and its really too soon to even try to give an end estimate.

They are just now in the middle of flower, they will get much larger and heavier, so get some supports ready for them so they don't fall over.

Okay I agree with you but 1 month isn't too much? I should cut these girls by far after
20 days. If I cut after 20 days they harvested on 62nd day. What you think is it be too early?

The number of the day you count from is totally irrelevant. The amount of days the breeder lists is totally irrelevant. Plants can't read calendars, they only grow based on the grow environment and genetics.

The only thing that matters is the condition of the plant. Your plant is noooooo where near the end of its life cycle. You have ATLEAST a month before I would even look at its maturity again. It might take 6-8 more weeks before its done.

Here is the info I share with new growers about how to determine the point of harvest. This info has never led someone wrong and has saved many growers from harvesting plants too early.

The signs of ripeness are pretty standard for cannabis plants.

First a few of the pistils begin turning color and start receding. Your plant is just starting to ripen. Depending on the strain you could still have two months to go. We're just starting this journey.

Two to four weeks later you'll notice that most of the pistils(>80%) have now changed color and curled back into the bud. It's frosty, way bigger than it was a few weeks ago(aren't you glad you waited), and smells dank! It's time, right? Not a chance killer. Patience is a virtue.

Over the next 2-3 weeks it doesn't look much different, maybe a little more swelling in the calyxes, and the rest of the pistils change over, but the stems are starting to bend under the weight of the buds. These ladies are putting on weight internally by adding density and now the buds are doing their final ripening.

Now you begin looking at trichomes, on the calyx, not the leaves, and harvest according to your preference. When looking at trichomes it’s essential to look at them from the side. The bulbous heads can magnify the opaque stalk under it. Looking from the side allows you to more accurately see the condition of the resin in the trichome head.

There is still no rush to harvest, the window just opened, and you have several weeks before you MIGHT start having to think about it possibly beginning to get too ripe. It takes WEEKS for plants to mature not days.

It is very easy to harvest a plant to early. It is very hard to harvest a plant to late. I’ve never seen someone accidentally wait too long.
