I know where you're coming from man. Pulling 8 oz's each myself in 3 gallons of coco/perlite. 2 pounds under 500 watts of light. Just gotta get the right genetics. I hand water daily. Can't wait to get outside. Thinking 200's could hit 10 pounds easily even Sativas. My Green Haze got over 9 feet tall inside under 400 watts lol.

hmmmm 1-2 lbs per plant , now that would be a special thing this far north.
I'm at 52/53N in western Canada, 3000ft above sea level. My big plants were around 5 weeks old , clones and seedlings when I put them outside. Then transplanted to 18 gallon Rubbermaid totes modified into pots with holes and screens inside covering the holes.
I dunno what my yield is gonna be like, biggest plant is just pushing 7ft tall from dirt to tip. Each pot has a 4x4 foot grow space and the plants have used it. they certainly don't look like those west coast California trees but they look good to me. I think the heaviest yielder will be a shiskaberry I topped a few times and LST'd most of it's life and trained into a 4x4 scrog net. Has close to 40 tops
will see what kind of yield I get if I can manage to finish them.... winter is coming tho and not much survives here past the 3rd week of September without heating the greenhouse. I highly doubt I'll see a pound from 1 plant but one can only hope LOLZ

I have gotten one pound plants in 2 gallon Hempy buckets, vegged for two months. The medium is important in determining plant size. Daily feedings in Hempys makes them grow like crazy.

A good good rule of thumb for 1lbers is 20 gal with good soil or soiless (my preferred) veg between your bellybutton and nipples then flip. With a good genetics you should around that.

I have done a test this summer. Same female plants (Zamaldelica x Hawaiian). One outside in ground from May to Sept 1st. Transplanted into 30 gallon tub and moved inside. The other was in a 5 gallon bucket outside next to other plant for same time. Both will finish flowering inside another 5 to 6 weeks. One I will get about 4 oz. from. The much larger female I will have to scale. She will produce several times more bud. The only difference was pot size. This was done only to satisfy personnel curiosity. I think genetics have a lot to do with plant size too. I'm going to run 30 to 50 gallon pots in the future for all plants. Peace

As others have said, you don't need a lot of medium for 2lbs. 30 gals would do the trick

[WaxyTaxi]

you can get that with 5gl of coco easy,

I've gotten a lil over one with a 3gl of pure coco handwatered twice a day,

the trick with coco is to create a solid rootzone handwatering, then to hook up to multifeeds and then your usually good as long as the ppms and ph stay good in the rez. I still check run off every blue moon for fun but the plants tell all.

heres a good one from DJM:

"If multifeeding 4-6x a day i recommend

1 gal for a 4-5 ounce plant
2 gals for a 8-10 ounce plants
5 gals for a 1-1.25 pound plant
7 gals for 1.5 pound plant
10 gals for 2-3 pound plant"

here is a pound plant from a 3gl pot.( bodhi's mountain temple)

the genetics made all the magic happen on this one haha

Technically it's possible, but the average grower would need 5-10 times more medium for the same yield...
