Silly question about yeild and veg time

hi all

i have plants going outdoors that will begin flowering whenever i choose ( light-dep ). They will get a solid 6-7 hours of direct sunlight a day, south facing. They will also have a large heater keeping them warm at night. ok ok its a greenhouse but nobody reads that forum! lol

i have vegged them for 1 month indoor under t5 and 1000w MH and they will continue vegging for 1 more month outdoors under the sun as planned before i begin tarping them to initiate flowering. the genetics are purple kush. they are vegging in 10 gallon containers and they will go into 30 gallon smart pots soon to flower in. I am feeding GH 3 part with minor additives like humic fulvic, b-1, and a bloom booster in flower. they are in Promix HP a soilless peat medium that is simple to use.

does anyone know what kind of yield i could aim for as a goal per plant with 2 month veg and then 9-10 week flower outdoor? i want to know what i should aim for. the reason i ask is because i want to set the bar and i dont have much experience in this aspect of growing (yeild outdoors). i have topped and lst'd some plants and left others to see which do better.

a pound a plant with 2 month veg? purple kush? no way in hell.

<8 oz each, I'd be happy getting 4 on a 2 month veg outdoor PK.


edit: dont set a weight goal, its nice to have a ballpark number but I'd rather see what grows than expect and hope for something on a first time light dep outdoor run. expectations on yield rarely surprise people in a positive fashion.

I have grown PK outdoors before and with 4 month veg I didn't get one pound per plant. I would guess you are looking at 4-10 ounces max. With only 6 to 7 hours of direct light I would assume you will be getting fluffy buds as well. I am guessing 5.5 ounces per plant. Also, I like to grow in bigger pots. Bigger roots equals bigger buds.

I am growing in 65 gal pots and I am expecting 1-2 pounds per plant with a full season of growth.
