Wow I just deleted a good reply. My yield for the lowryder was about 25 grams per plant dried. Personally, I use a 3 gallon container to grow the girls in. I find that 5 gallons with good rich compost is just overkill since mine plants are finished in about 11 weeks (I never have gotten them to finish in the 8 weeks listed). The smoke was OK but not very potent, tasted like a green plant never dried or cured, that is the reason I crossed with a sativa dominate hybrid. I just put 2 plants in their containers this morning so I will be starting a grow journal today to show the results. What I have found from growing the first 3 generations is that the soil is truly the key to the auto. I use pure compost for my soil with lots of worms in the soil and continue to top dress the soil each week with a few coffee grounds, egg shells and tomate scraps, it may not look the best laying of top but the worms love it and they are healthy when I return the used soil to my compost pile. Hope this helps and happy growing.
