This is exactly the type of thing I am talking about. How tall are everyone's plants?

I'm talking about 12 plants. 4 are cuttings that take about 3 weeks to really begin growing. The next 4 are in veg for about 5 weeks. The last 4 are in flower for 8 weeks.

So, we are talking 8 weeks rooting time, 5 weeks veg and 8 weeks flower. Now this should yield plants around waist high. How much should a waist high plant yiled?

Is this a medical grow? Are you trying to follow plant limits? All strains are different and different strains and training techniques will give you different yields. My plants are vegged to about 20 to 24 inches but it's topped once and lst'd to keep short. When I put in in flower it gets to just over 3 feet and yields around 5-6 oz.

Here's my Purple Urkel in veg a week before put into flower.

DSCF2984.jpgDSCF2908.jpgBetter get some trellis work in there those branches are going to be all over the place in about a month.Here are some pics of my white widow i did a while back. Branches wont put on weight if they think they are going to break. You got a nice wide bush going there. Just be prepaired to tie her up. Dont wait till its too late.!DSCF2900.jpg

A plant vegged from clone over 8 weeks and grown properly would yield much over 2 oz.
A plant with no veg time should yield around 1 oz.

One of my better girls this year

September 16 2010.jpg

Yielded 17.8 ounces

505 grams 001.jpg

1 ounce - 2 ounces - a joke surely.

I've grown this strain many times and it's pretty strong. The branches are thick and solid and I've rarely needed to make a support for it. The buds get big and dense too.

Yes, I am a care giver. Right now I have 8 arond waist high under a single 600W HPS and it looks like I managed to beat down my spider mites once and for all. Damn those suckers are a bitch. Anyway, I guess I'll see what they yield.

Now why would someone post up an outdoor yield without specifying.

I'm still wondering how you fit 18oz in 5 jars. Sounds to me like a lot of people are weighing their plants wet and with all the fan leaves.

Other indoor growers I have spoken with say 1-2oz from a 16 week old plant. I think that is far more realistic.

Realistically, 1-2 oz. is with 2 week veg and 8 week flower for a total of 10 weeks on an 8 week strain. I get 5-6 oz. dried and trimmed close to the bud with 8 week veg and 8 week flower. So a total of 16 weeks indoors.

i dont veg i usually pull 1-2 oz per plant 50 of them under a 1500hps gets me right around 3-4 lbs every 7 weeks so 7 harvests 21-28 lbs a year im about to double it so ill be pulling 7lbs every 7 weeks so i should be around 50lbs a year.

No not at all actually. I used to yield 3 OZ on 2 gallon pots indoors with very little veg time and they ended up about 2.5 feet tall. That is dried and cut. Five inch pots in hydro yield me about an ounce each with one single cola 50-64 in a tray dried and cut. That is with basically no veg. I dont use jars but I think you could easily put 3-4 ounces in a quart jar with cut dense nugs.

It seems like we are having a great deal of difficulty comparing apples to apples.

People are saying they "veg for 2 weeks" etc. It seems that everyone is also ignoring rooting / cloning time.

From the time you cut a clone from a mother, to the time when lights are switched to 12 hours, how long is this time period? Then, after 8 weeks of 12 hour light, how much yield from each plant?

See, I think people are not including rooting time.

I never count cloning time except for the first grow. I plan ahead and have rooted clones ready to replace my veg plants when they go into flower. I don't even count the veg time really either cause as soon as i harvest I have plants in veg that are ready to flower. How exactly do you grow? Do you root your clones, then veg, then flower, and then start all over again? I always have plants in veg ready to go in after I harvest. Same for clones. Basically each plant I grow is rooted in about 7-10 days, vegged for 8 weeks, and then flowered for 8 weeks. I get about 5-6 oz. per plant dried. All my plants are in different cycles of growth so I don't ever have to start over from clone. Also your yield will depend on strain and veg time per plant. Longer veg = bigger roots. Bigger roots = bigger yield. I've grown different strains with the same 8 week veg time and they all yielded differently. Some yielded 3-4 oz. If you're trying to get more yields per year then harvesting every 18 weeks isn't gonna get you there unless you're growing a farm of plants. Since you're a medical grow you have limits. My limits are 6 plants at any size and 18 plants no bigger than 12"x12". I have 4 plants in flower a month apart. I have 4 plants in veg a month apart. 6 of those plants are larger than 12"x12" and 2 are under. I stay within my limits. I harvest 2 plants a month and get 10 or more dried ounces from both plants. My goal is 16 oz. and I hope to get there soon. Basically I get 120+ oz. per year by harvesting 2 plants a month. Veg your plants out and grow less plants but big plants. Your yield is greatly dependent on your light anyway.

a week to 10 days to root 3 weeks veg 10 weeks to flower x20 exodus cheese = 75oz/85oz x 3 a year= 225oz/255oz a year with a big ass holiday inbetween !! all plants finishing about 4 to 4.5 ft in height

Ricky I think were in the same state based on plant limits.

One room for veg
Two rooms for flower

Working with one patient and a 24 plant limit.

I'm going to work this backwards so it is easier to follow.

In the last flower room you run your plants under an HPS bulb 12/12 for the last 5 weeks of a 9 week flower cycle, this lets your plants ripen fully and fill out.

In the first flower room you run your plants under an HPS bulb with more of a blue spectrum. the first week the plants are in this room, they are on an 18/6 cycle, for the next four week they are under 12/12 The added blue spectrum helps the plants veg and take advantage of the initial flowering stretch.

In the veg room you take clones and transplant them within 10 days, I use a homemade DWC to root my clones fast. Then you veg them under whatever light you want for the remaining 3.5 weeks.

This works out to be 6 bushes in each flower room 10 clones rooting and 2 mothers.
Every thing rotates every 5 weeks.

I'm still perfecting this system so I can't tell you exact yields, the extra flowering room and extra week of flower for a perfect harvest every 5 weeks is the key.

I think what I have to do is clone early so that hey are growing strong by the time they go into veg and veg them a bit more. Plus, I need more light. I've been running a 600W HPS on a mover for 16 plants.

got to start cloneing on the plant...............then you can put your brain on something more productive

rick heres what you do have a mother or a couple of them when you flush the plants your gonna harvest take clones and start them rooting then. they should root right around the time your gonna chop so just throw them into flower. your yeild will be smaller but your turn around will be quicker so youll have an extra harvest.
