yield estimation

Hi,

I wonder how much I could yield with this grow.

I know its a silly question and that it depends on a lot of factors and genetics and whats not.

Its my first grow, i had some hickups, 290W Led is my Flowerlight, switched to 12/12 two days ago.
They are in about 2,9 Gallons smart Pots each. I used/im using LST
The one in the middle is skunk#1 fem, the others are bagseeds...the smallest is a toppling.

Just from your experience and if i wont fail too hard, can you give me any numbers of what to expect, if they are all female?
I mean, more like 1oz or more like 5oz? Just from what it looks like to you...

I know that I should not have high expectations though im trying my best lol.

Hi, Oh thats much less than i hoped for. Dying, which one, in both pics? In pic 1 i just I bent them down 5min ago for LST. Pic 2 is from yesterday. Or do you talk about something else? The yellow leaves are from a Little incident a while ago, but the new growth on the tops looks fine, does it not? Or is the fresh growth too light green?

Thx. Yea its the "tieing them down" that makes them look this way, 20min ago they looked like pic 2. I hoped I fixed the one with the spots, time will tell. Your estimation was about pic one with the horrible Looks or already both?

I use 130 watts of LED in my new set up, and 1 gallon pots exactly.
I run a perpetual, so i never harvest all my plants at once, but 1 plant in 1 gallon of coco/perlite with 130 watts of led 12-12 from seed (14 weeks total seed to smoke...) yields about 22-30grams a plant for me.

dont expect much on a first grow with a led setup,especially with one hiccup already,what nutes are you using?soil?temps?feed schedule?
Leds wont penetrate down much ,so dont crowd them ,I would not top them with leds, unless your running around 1200w of leds,or unless of course you like trimming little buds

Why wouldnt you top them ? is it because LEDS dont produce heat so wont harm the plant? Or is it so that the fan leaves are plenty to get as much of the light as possible?

Sorry still a little new :-)

I see they do have some kind of issue going on with them with the yellowing and the veining that is seen. Add that your only using an LED light and the plants are pretty small I would guess after trime manicure dry and cure from whats there in the 2-5 oz range depending on how well you feed and maintain the ppm and ph of those feeds.

When your plants start to show sex and flower, could you tell me how are in size compared to mine in pic2 first post?

Im using biobizz allmix soil, biobizz grow. Temps about 19-26°C. Fed them just like 2-3 times with 1-2mlbiobizzgrow/ l

I topped only one plant. You can see the toppling in the small pot. Stricly for selfeducational purposes :-)

If leds dont penetrate so much, would you not especially use things like topping and LST to keep the canopy more even, instead of christmastree shape?

These posts about how much yield will I get should be deleted by a mod as the only answer is a guess and if the logical answer is not what the op wanted to hear it can and usually ends in a flame fest.

I usually grow hydro or aero as its quicker easier and produces more indoors. I veg my rooted clones for about 10 to 14 days which puts them about 18 inches from top of pot to top cola area then go to flower for 6 weeks and finish at about 3 feet tall. I like to lollipop and fim mine twice. I use usually 3 600 watt lights in a 4x8 setup 18 plants and pull about conservativly 4 lbs dry. I also use co2 and air exchanges in my grows. This seutp would be like an ebb n gro or under current setup. In a 4x4 tent with flood table its about the same but 10 to 12 plants under 1 600 watt light with about an lb plus dry.

Its always a guess and only the stupid get into a flame contest. You gotta bew pretty slow if you allow yourself to get pulled into one on a question that has not definitive answer. At least this op knew it would only be a guess.

due to penetration issues,topping makes them bushier,and gives you smaller buds compared to plants not topped/ grown o'natural

Yea I hope i fixed that. They got reallly dry...the others recovered much better than the one on the right.
and the plants are pretty small
Oh, i thought im doing a good job with keeping them small as my space is limited, steadily bending them down. The occasional node distance is about at 1cm, got bigger as i increased the lights height.
My noob guess would be like that the one on the left back would be double or more in height, main stem is shaped like an L.

I know its just a guess, and the biggest factor is the noobfactor...no flaming :-)
and happy for good advice.

Yes space plays a big role. I have never grown in a cramped place really smallest place I have grown is the 4x4x7 foot tents.so I can get 3-4 foot finished plants with little issue
