hey everyone
first off, i'd like to say that i am happy to have found this website! i was a veteran member of the og community, and after the closing, i kind of drifted away from the scene all together. but, good to be back and im glad i found a new place to call home!

on to the question...this may be a simple question to answer for a lot of growers out there, but i have yet to find a post with solid and reliable figures.
For starters, when advertised on a seed shop website, the expected yield, lets say for instance...300 grams - is that dry, wet, manicured?
secondly, what are typical 'average' yields for an indoor / outdoor grow per plant? of course genetics will be taken into consideration, but assuming one is using proper lighting and reflection? i am new to indoor growing, and have completed an outdoor grow with great success, so i am more unfamiliar with the indoor yields than i am the outdoor yields...

in any case, i appreciate any and all responses, and again, good to be back :) look forward to sharing the knowledge!

Welcome GJS!! Any friend of (the now defunct) OverGrow is a... ah heck, I forgot what I was going to say. I have yet to grow anything to fruition so I can't answer your question.

first question - from what i know when they advertise that it is by square meter. usually 3-4 plants per meter thats my guess. and from what i know it is dried weight. but you can augment your dried weight to 20% by using sugar/molasses additives during flowering.

second question - im on my first grow indoors and i have found already that mainly experience can gain you more yeild. for your first indoor grow, considering you have the right amount of light, nuteing your plants correctly, and setting up your whole system right, i would expect probly on average 2 ounces per plant(increasing with more experience). but if you really do it right like experienced growers can its not uncommon to yeild 4-6 ounces per plant. it also depends on how long you vegetate your plants. in theory the longer you veg, the bigger the plant, the bigger the buds. and of course the genetics like you said. grow on, smoke on.:peace:

Yeah that yieldis usually for a square meter under a 600 watt HPS, at least that's what most sites go by. Some use a 400 watt but i would think a 600 is more accurate. Also there are so many variables to yield, the best I can tell you is it isn't even close to an outdoor plant. I have also heard that .5 gram per watt is a good goal to shoot for in your first couple of grows...good luck.

Mr I Can Do That For Half
The seeds companys are usually going by 2 square meters per plant in minimum 5 gallon pots with 1000 watt lights excellent conditions with the usual 7-12 weeks flower.I find the average indoor aero or hydro person yieleds 1-4 oz per plant in much smaller areas.A dirt grower with less plants and more space can achieve a plant with a dry lb if using big pots co2 and 1000 watt lights.

Sorry I guess 1000 watt is more like it. i was quoting my Big Book of Buds, they give a yield for all plants. This yeild is determined by assuming the grower is using 600 watts per square meter meaning a little more than 3 foot by 3 foot, Sorry for the misinformation.:-|

Not sure, but I got all 3 at Borders, and if you feel comfy amazon has some good deals on it. It is a good book with nice full color ictures a detailed description, taste, scent, kind of high, yield, genes, flowering time, seed bank, etc. Worth it if you have the cash....I look at them all the time and scheme my next purchase.

sounds like the cannabible editions. i also recommend Jorge Cervantes Marijuana Horticulture Indoor/Outdoor Grow Bible. 512 color pages. Its a godsend for around 20 bucks.

Way better than the cannibible IMO, it's more a ctatlog with detailed growing info. Where as the Cannibibles seem cool too but not the same. I also have that grow book, it's pretty good but glosses over somethings, all in all it's a good book though.

Welcome to Rollitup, gjs! I don't know much about seedbank marketing hype, except to say that it's marketing hype. :blsmoke:

As for indoor growing, there are too many ways to grow plants to think about how much per plant, so it's simpler to talk about area. That's what matters most anyway, how much room do you have. So think in terms of square feet of canopy. That way you can have the right amount of light, say 50-60 watts per square foot of canopy, and you can estimate your yield at 1-2 ozs per square foot of canopy.

HTH :mrgreen:
