Hi everyone I know it's probably hard to say but just wondered if anyone could give me rough ball park on what kind of yield I could expect howmany ozs I'm on day 38 in flower and have 7 plants grown in Coco.

5 x 5 tent and a 600w light I will take a video tonight when lights are on
My rough estimate for an "average" grow/grower would be an ounce dried per square foot of canopy. A newer grower will likely get less. An experienced grower will often get more. So in a full 5x5, my baseline guess is 25 ounces dried. Lots of variables, though...how full the tent is, how much light you have, genetics, etc etc...

I often pull two lbs out of my 5x5. Some plants are small some bigger depending on genetics
 
Nice work! One 1lb should be easily achievable. One word of caution ... don't harvest too soon. It's easy to think its done when it isn't quite. Are you able to post trichome pictures?

I use a wifi digital microscope that pairs with my smart phone. You can pick one up for about $30 on Amazon. I like it better than a jeweler's loupe.

You will likely need a cheap little tripod or some other way to stabilize the microscope in order to get a picture that's worthwhile (and to turn fans off so that your plants aren't swaying all over). I may be wrong as I've never used those microscopes, but as a professional photographer that's my assumption. I've used jewelers loupes, and they do work, but it's borderline painful to get a decent representation of what's going on. You have to be very still and very close to every single cola to see the trichs.

I've personally turned to a high resolution digital camera with flash. I can shoot away at each cola from various angles, then toss the images on my computer to look at the trichs. With a high enough resolution, you can zoom in and out of large areas of the colas and not need a back brace when you're done. I find that it also gives much more accurate results, and that I can see many amber trichs that I simply missed with the jewelers loupe.

Just my 2 cents...and you know what they say: "opinions are like assholes; everyone has one and they all stink". 😎
