Hey bubba are you getting those numbers as dry weight??? ThanksPerpetual grow with 6 plants - because it’s legal. If you think I could yield more flowering every 60 days please explain. It’s about optimum flower in the shortest cycle right? Can’t speed my cycle faster than the plants flower. I could run them with much less veg and training and obviously the yield would be less. The OP asked how do
I increase my yield. Lights, training and veg time that’s considerate of what you want to yield. Further if I ran less plants, in the same method I would use less footprint. My lights allow me to adjust for that. So that does NOT mean i would go to 1gpw it would mean my total
Yield for the cubic foot would be less.
I never understood the "bragging rights" and shit storms about grams per watt..
I used it only as a gauge when dialing in..In fact I hardly ever weigh anymore..I just go by how many jars I get..If I get more than 2 qt jars per plant..it goes to the hash bin anyway, since I grow only for myself and GF.
If you are happy with your end product....it shouldn't matter as long as you get enough QUALITY product to justify that particular grow..
Hey bubba are you getting those numbers as dry weight??? Thanks
Oh I hear ya bubba how you are growing makes it to where you have plants are veg longer due to your number restriction correct? Hell it looks like that restriction is working good though! Congrats!I have. Looks like my latest run will be a little less. May end up only pulling 1.5-1.8 gpw. I wait till it’s dried, then I start to cure for a week/2weeks in air tight plastic bins with moisture control. Then I move to jars and verify weight. So far 1 plant has given just over 19oz dried solid bud material (16.5 oz of colas). Waiting for my second plant to finish drying, it did appear larger and actually has some lower stuff finishing up still. I’ll repost back but yes I typically get or get close to 2 gpw in my flower tent. Again because of how I grow, my veg cycle with 6 plant continueous grow it seems like a poor number to use to qualify
Seed: Neville Haze
Seed to harvest: 132 days
Veg: 2 months
3 7 gallon pots in fox farms soil.
Two viparspectra 450Watt LED lights.
After all this time and waiting and I only end up with 7oz! I was expecting at least a pound, so I’m pretty disappointed. I thought the plants looked nice and big too... idk how to fix this I had the same yield with 5 autos in my last grow! I did the scrog method and topped 3 times. Could it be too much topping? PH is fine, the light schedual messed up once from a power outage in flowering... Would I be better off not doing scrog next time? I really don’t get what I did. Any help is much appreciated. Here’s some pics of the grow too,
Not sure about your laws, but usually cuttings are only plant parts and not counted as plants. If so....you can take cuts for cloning and put them, wrapped in a wet paper towel and sealed baggie. (blow into the baggie before sealing for some free CO2). Then put it into the fridge veg bin for at least 2-4 weeks, until you want them..Plant as usual to make roots and you will be amazed as they explode coming out of their induced stasis.I think i will keep 3 in flower and 1 in veg forever. It is probably the best way to get max buds in a 4 plant limit. The total time is no longer veg to flower but more based on the flower cycle (a harvest every 4 weeks or so).
Yield is based on a few things. Good strains that yield heavy, lighting and environment (light and air flow and temp and RH etc). and skill.
Training your plants will increase your yield and result in more veg.
Better lighting too. Lots of options there.
And good LED are the way to go if you want LED and like the clearance etc. There are plenty out there.
While waiting for a better answer from @jumpincactusI don't know if you can where you are, but if you want massive yields and can do it, take it outdoors. My 1st year over 10lb from 6 plants, last yr over 15lbs from 5 plants.
Other than that, 7 zips doesn't seem like a bad yield for only 400w wall draw. People keep saying add lights but I've found from lessons I've learned recently it may be the exact opposite. Too much saturation can reduce your yield as well. I'm running 3 CXB 3500k COBs with a max wall draw of 265w and had to turn them down to <70% to make them work in a 4x2 tent. I just produced around 3 zips from 3 plants under far less than optimal conditions (50F-60F average) with my lights adjusted down to about 200w.
Listen to Jumpincactus and learn how to balance distance and output to give your plants the optimal amount of light. Cactusman really knows LED lighting.
Our laws (ontario canada) state any plant at any stage past sprout is 1 of 4.Not sure about your laws, but usually cuttings are only plant parts and not counted as plants. If so....you can take cuts for cloning and put them, wrapped in a wet paper towel and sealed baggie. (blow into the baggie before sealing for some free CO2). Then put it into the fridge veg bin for at least 2-4 weeks, until you want them..Plant as usual to make roots and you will be amazed as they explode coming out of their induced stasis.
Key there seems to be the word PLANT and not parts (seeds would also be parts)..Our laws (ontario canada) state any plant at any stage past sprout is 1 of 4.
I have seeds for years but cuttings would be nicer

The plant's leaves give a great indication if you are too close..the leaves show heat stress and you just keep moving up until it goes away and they return to normal. I have LED's that can get as close as 8" from the tops (Nextlight Mini) but another where 15" at least is needed to prevent stress (Unit Farm high end burple)
They will never know...but i will keep it legal.If you are allowed 4 plants and you have 40 how the state will know it?
I do know the true output, (Kill-o-watt and built in meters in my DIYs) but am too old skool to do it the right way..a wing and a prayer has worked so far..LMAOIf you don't know your light's output, yes, the leaves are an excellent indicator to figure out clearance.
Cactusman's articles, and a little extra research, helped me figure out my light's DLI. Once I could calculate that I didn't have to guess or adjust. I just put it in the right spot. Works great. It was so nice not having to worry about cooking the girls anymore.
Here's a great article to get someone started, then you'll need to look up the PAR=DLI formula and your light's PAR test(s)...

I don't know burples or I'd help.
