how to increase yield

once my crop dries i get about 3 maybe 4 oz per plant. im wondering how i can increase this amount. im looking to get 6 or more. i have one strain that i always get 6 plus oz but im looking to make all plants do that. started lollipoping plants before they are in bloom. flush them before bloom once in the middle of bloom and before i crop them. using fox farm line started a new kind of soil. but just looking for some pointers. im still a beginner, so any help is always appreciated.

Green leaves.

If you keep your plant happy and healthy then the plant will perform the best it can for you.

I pull 4oz a plant running 4plants under 400w.

What light are you using?

DWC with large yield strains. Top them multiple times - every shoot. Veg them for longer than 2 weeks before placing under 12/12 - the longer the veg the higher the yield. Use HID lighting instead of any CFL at all. Keep all the air moving that you can afford and run a real CO2 setup.

do you ever experience yellow on your leaves throughout your bloom cycle?

im sorry DWC? i top once when they are in veg and i try and keep them in veg for 3 maybe even 4weeks if i can without disrupting my cycles to much. theres a fan in almost every corner and i have a full CO2 setup in bloom rooms.

Sometimes yes. Especially if I've been hitting the PK1314 a bit harder.

But on normal runs no.

I use a hydroponic veg formula by canna AQUA VEGA its NPK is 6-3-8 and I use it for veg and flower. I grow in coco. Used to run hydro until hot fuzz took my gear.

Ca and Mg supplements help to maintain greener leaves. I do not switch to a bloom formula anymore because the 4-4-11 I was using was giving yellow leaves within 2weeks of the start of its use. And I didn't switch to bloom until week4 of 12/12.

The strain in question that you regularly pull 4oz a plant maybe reaching its potential. Some strains struggle to pull big numbers.

If it were me I would run the strain where you normally run the 6oz plants. This way you can rule out all other variables if it still pulls 4oz. Then you could look at veg time to see if that variable makes any difference.

I'm a firm believer in a longer veg time along with bigger pots.

im using 5 gal bags but i think i want to start using a really big pot. i thought about doubling pot size and cutting the actual plants by 1/3. in hopes they can get bigger and i wont need as many plants. the yellow i have problems with. its always after 5 weeks or so of being in bloom. i hardly ever see yellow before then. but i had one room with a lot of yellow. i do the ppms got really high and real low. and i dont think a flush was done on that room, which i would imagine can take a toll on the plants....right?
