Third grow. First time with Hempy. Best yield with 16oz Beer cup?

So, its been a while, I have moved, and set up in a new place. I also transitioned to a different style, i went to hempy buckets just cuz it seemed easier for me than organics in my situation. I started about 2 months ago with 6 clones i was gifted from a friend of some bubba kush. I gave 4 of em away my self and kept 2.. Those two are my moms. They went thru my move wit hme and everything and have given me about 60 clones each.

Im now growing in a homebox S and a dr150 secret Jardin. ( 5x5 ). I have 3 205 W LED panels and 1 90 watt ufo ( dont use it right now tho ) Carbon filters with inline fans for smell.

Heres a couple pics. Right now i only have a few plants flowering. I started 3 of them on november 13 then 6 more of them on the 20th. The 3 of them were all in various stages just as a test. Then i startd about 8 more just like 5 days ago .
These are in the Homebox S. The DR150 is all just vegging and cloning right now.

I am wondering how people finish their hempy buckets. Do you flush ? Water with just plain water ? I am currently just following the pure ble nd pro grow / bloom schedule at full dose and its working great for me. I use tap water and add some cal mag and liquid karma. Plants seem to love it.

This has been my best grow so far ( https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=25609&pictureid=559647 seems like i have much less issues than with organics. I started my 2 moms throughout a MASSIVE fungus gnat infestation and they came out of it perfectly clean with no gnats.. altho i read hempys are bad for it.. mine seemed fine ) hahaha.. I only been growing primarily in 16 oz beer cups.. my 2 moms were in those for the first month and half of their lives.. I just recenhttps://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=25609&pictureid=559644tly https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=25609&pictureid=559645 potted them into 10L buckets.

I am wondering what peoples best yields are out of something like a 16 oz beer cup. Here are a couple pics so far. I mean the the one i have that i topped lo oks like its going ot yield more than my 1 gallon organic soil grows. Its looking HEALTHHHHHY too.. Heres some pics for you guys.. Sorry for the quality. They were taken with my phone.

Heres the setup.




Above are a pic of the topped plant about a week into 12/12 and the 3 together. One topped, one untopped, one topped very reccenlty before flower.



This is a pic of the topped plant taken tonight. ( about 33 days into 12/12. ) This one was vegged for about 1.5 weeks before flowering after being topped ( vegged for about 1 week before that ) tthe top was used for another clone. What do you guys think I can yield ? I am hoping for maybe half a ounce.





This is a comparison pic of 6 other ones i tossed in after about 1 week of veg with no topping.

Heres a close up of a bud top from about a week ago ( too lazy to take a close up now )



https://www.icmag.com/ic/picture.php?albumid=25609&pictureid=559644Heres a pic of my veg tent. the 5 x 5 DR 150. Its got my two moms in the middle you can see they are up potted. Then i haev about 60 rooted/rooting clones int he black trays lower on the picture. Then on the right side i have about 25 topped and vegging clones. The left side has just abuncha of just rooted clones / 1 week ones. There are also 5 sour bubbles i tried starting in the hempy's..

Thats the one issue i have had with hempy buckets are that the 5 sour bubbles i started in the hempys probably are not gonna make it.. They were doing great.. Then hit a nasty spot.. it looked like i overwatered them or something. Just very droopy ( not underwatering for sure ) . I dont nkow how tho cuz i have never had that problem with the clones. In the past the seeds i started in soil always were great until like 4 + weeks. then i always had issues. However, the hempy buckets have been great. The moms have been kickin for 2 months + with no issues.
 
Theres a "beer cup challenge" thread where people try to get the highest yields they can out of their solo cups.

My personal best was 24grams I believe. Looking good up there man, keep it up.

Edit: Just went back and looked at my notes, my best was actually 22g not the 24g I guessed above.

i dunno if there's a record. might be 24 grams for all i know. but if you can get at least 7 grams out of a beercup you're doing good imho.
