No way you will ever get a pound from a 150w light. I would be thrilled with 6 oz from that light

If you have some good luck you might get close. If you pulled 2.75 oz off 1 plant previously, and you have 6 plants now, if you can make 2.6 oz per plant you'll get your pound, but it's not going to be easy with those lights. Maybe go for a longer veg and you might accomplish your goal. Don't get me wrong.. Let's use cars for example. There's an old adage "There's no replacement for displacement" .. Similar to growing, there's no replacement for the sun. In other words, a lot of your harvest depends solely on the light it gets. There are many growing techniques that will ultimately help increase your yield, but your lights are key. The general "rule of thumb" is 1lb per 1000w light. Excellent growers are pulling off 3 to 4 lbs. per light.

Otherwise I would say invest in another light and some supplemental CO2 will help big time.

Good luck and welcome to the Farm!

I can rock veg for 7-10 weeks no problem where I keep messing up is in flower the last few grows I had envierment issues and also nute burn and root zone issues and infestations which I believe really hurt my yeilds

Black widow does not like anything over 450-500 ppms in week8-9 veg in flower anything past 625ppms on .5 scail and I see nute burn issues and high run off ppms wheth it’s coco or pure perlite Hempy buckets...blue dream is notorious for being an aggressive feeder especially nitrogen even in flower so I gota keep. Trakeing my numbers to see what they like

Hi great to see your plants up of the tent floor , you exhaust fan is that sitting on the floor ? Would be better above the light , need a clip fan in there to move air gently round them , you could also benefit from passive air intake . Regards Od.

I had it blowing in I removed it to try an experiment I will be mounting it back up the way I had it to force fresh air in their. Thx I ran into cold root zones on my slab basement floor in winter time it’s like 55-56f all winter down their on the floor ambiance hang around 65 in winter... their only getting about 225-250 ppms atm 150-200 is cal mag rest is a and b....to be honest I’m shocked their growing the way they are with only 25-50ppm of actual food lol they have been on that 225-250ppm their whole life from breaking surface of coco till now, once I burn threw these Nutes in my 55gal drum I’ll bump up to 300ppm hears a pic of my current disaster of a flower room in 100% perlite Hempy buckets they showed first pistoles on 5/4/2020 I’m assuming that’s day1 of flower correc? Or is day 1 when I see little bud buttons on main tops?
