How much COULD I yield from this setup?

[phattybudz]

Ok, so obviously there are a ton of factors which will make it hard to estimate the yield one should be able to pull from a grow, but I'm wondering about a ballpark estimate for what I should be able to pull out of my room under ideal conditions.

My setup: 600w hps for flower, 210w fluoros for veg, 6 dwc buckets recirculating, 4 soil plants in a dr120. I've got a vortex 6 inch for ventilation, and a water chiller. I'm currently using lucas formula for hydro/botanicare for soil. I'm using tap water for now... everything is getting enough air, and the temperatures are pretty close to ideal (water = 68, air = 65 night, 75-78 day.)

Here's a pic of what I've got in there now (this run has had a ton of problems that I think won't be a problem in the next run; bugs, high temps, root rot):


Anybody want to take a guess? Did I leave anything out? Oh, and if anyone wants to suggest anything to increase my yield please do! I am thinking about C02 but I was told to get an intake and get everything else dialed in before messing with that...

what is your growroom size?
are they from seed or clones?
how long were they in veg for,or are they still?
did you top them,if so,at what node?
need more info grasshopper.

On my six bucket unit, I am looking for an lb, I figure 3z average, minus ten percent, and that is a realistic goal for my girls and I. That is with 1K, don't know about smaller light.

As you said "there a ton of factors". Nobody in their right mind will hazard a guess as it will be just that, a guess, and nothing more.

Your statements covering all of the problems that you have had with this go around indicates that you might want to concentrate on studying the art of growing first, find a method that works for you and stick with it, providing it is a proper method and I might add that there are as many as there are wrong ways too.

Good Luck

Lol you have to be kidding if you think someone can even get close...
Correct nutrients and additives keep your plants thriving too.

I grow 6 babies Under 6 600W lights I pull 2 lb from each every 3 months ...

 

[-ww-]

I grow 6 babies Under 6 600W lights I pull 2 lb from each every 3 months ...

hmm ... that seems like pretty bad result
i am getting 400 grams under 800 watts every 2 month ...and i think my result is not good enough

you should be getting at least 6lb

 

[-ww-]

oh 2lbs each ... sorry i read it wrong

 

[-ww-]

so chofa u are getting 1.5g per watt ..... how do you do ut

 

[Microwido]

One thing is for sure, you will get less than what you expect. 1-2 ounces a plant would be my guess with your setup. So 4-8 OZ. What it looks like on the plant, keep in mind it will shrink and weigh about 75% less when its dried and cured.

 

[-ww-]

when i started to grow i was getting 0,3 grams per watt now i am getting 0,5 grams per watt and my goal is 0,8 grams per watt

Shoot for an elbow, and claw your way up from there. Use fresh seeds, or proven clones, from vigorous genetics. Get your nute regime dialed in. Keep pests at bay. Maybe some day you will get to the 1g/watt and beyond. Good luck!

 

[phattybudz]

the space is 3.9x3.9x6.5
the hydro ones are from clones, soil from seed. They were all vegged about 1.5 months, and the hydro ones were topped at around the 5th node.

All the problems I had this run will be taken care of in the next run; firsthand experience has taught me a lot. I'm going to stick with 6 dwc/4 soil for a while and I think I've got my caretaking/nute schedule pretty dialed in now.

I know there are a TON of factors, all I wanted was a guesstimate of what I should be able to get under ideal conditions/what people shoot for w/ similar setups. Thanks guys.

Add 30% to your last harvest (if your lucky) and that should put you in the ballpark. Things will get better with every harvest and depending on strain you could eventually be in the 1.5 - 2 range

 

[-ww-]

sorry for hijacking the post but since we are talking about grams per watts let me describe my next setup give me your predictions please:

grow room is 13,12feet*2,62feet and the height of the box is 6,56feet

i will be growing 20 white widow nirvana plants that will be 2 month old from cuttings
and i will flower them for about 56-60 days
i will lst them and maybe top them once

the lighting is 3*600 watt grolux hps

i was hoping for 1300grams

 

[Albert Hofmann]

Sorry everyone but these questions are getting asinine. ww - grow your plants for the first time and see what you get and then work from there. Hell, you could "ass backwards" yourself right into 2 lbs a light but more than likely you will get significantly less than your "hoping for" numbers. Every grow is different...you tell me all about your lights, space and plants. I could give you a better guestimate if you told me a little about your growing style, experience, nutes and how you have your environment totally under control. If you have never done better than .5 G/W then your environment and/or nutes are not dialed in. Here is a clue, when you are new to this, you will ALWAYS get less than you expected...except for the rare "Tiger Wood's" of gardening ( or Immelman if that is more appropriate this week

rant over,

How do I do it well near 20 years experience ,Has something to do with it plus I have been cloning the same babies for near 17 years ...

 

[TGT]

\must be a mega-large producer ^^. Wish I had that strain - and your experience too wouldn't hurt. lol.

Look in a 4x4 area with 16 plants (1 plant per sq ft), you could probably pull an ounce a plant, putting you at 1lb. Thats assuming you don't mess anything up.

Your setup... I have no clue.
