I use the pots to move plants around. But with my double layer of trellis this becomes impossible after day 14.
I may be switching back to coco beds soma style.

Not sure how this logic will pan out in cannabis land but it worked quite well for our veggies last year .... We foliar sprayed our veggies(tomato,peppers) w a mixture of kelp meal, Ewc and epsom salt .... Originally got the idea from an organic farmer who did a test of no spray vs Epsom salt foliar .... He gained more yeild from the Epsom foliar vs non-Epsom .... So I just tweaked it w Ewc and kelp and we had phenomenal results
I'm gonna test it out on my outdoor girls and see how they do with Epsom foliar sprays this season .... I'll be spraying up till first week of September to help avoid excess moisture in the buds .... avoid the dreaded grey mold ......if it works in a similar fashion ... Should dense up the buds and help stack the weight ........ We shall see
Respect .... Your garden looks superb!!! No till in the way to go .... How out greenhouse and veggie beds were set up at the old place .... New house new beds wish we could have taken them w us lol
Perpetual SOG is what works for me older plants that need the bright light most are always positioned closest to the lamp.So as the title says I am wanting to see if anyone has any tricks or tips for increasing yields. I am not a fan of c02 so that would be a no go for me. With a horizontal setup with hoods I can not get over .5 gram per watt. The quality is there, but I feel the yields are not. I just switched one of my rooms over to vert to see what happens there, but it will be months before I know anything. Here is a current horizontal grow 3 weeks in.

I have spent the past few years working on quality, and now I feel I am at a place where yields need to be addressed. So what the fuck am I missing?Thanks!!!

obviously you are feeding ACT but what nutes are you amending your soil with and are you giving any extra nutes when you water?

what kind of yields do you get if you don't mind me asking?
mono-croppin' or multiple strains?
small pots or big no-tills or something else?
I am assuming vert?
sorry for all the ?'s
OrganicOzarks,
Sorry if this doesn't make sense but, are you looking to increase yield for each harvest or your total yield for the year or just your GPW?
I could be wrong but I think these are all totally different things.
I wanna give an example but I don't know average yields for ROLS in different size containers but I imagine a few big trees a year vs. a whole lotta little plants all the time would result in much different numbers. Idk maybe I'm stoned.
sooo are me and MM the only ones thinking on the same page here?
Apparently, nobody seems to be getting it.

and of course the obvious, 8 week plants will give you 6.5 turns per year. 9 weekers=5.77 tpy, 10 weekers=5.2 tpy
so say your growing predominately 10 week strains and you are getting on average 2 ounces from each plant. you have 1k hps in flower and cycle 8 in at a time... assuming yield would be the same for 8 week strains, sake of argument, than the 10 week strains will net you 83.2oz per year or 44.8g per week...the 8 week strain will net you 104oz or 56 g per week
or an xtra 21 oz...thats equal to 1.33 xtra harvests per year
ranting...sick up in middle of night sweating...lol
i guess we just need to all use the term grams per kw/h
using average harvests of 500grams per 1000watt light per 8 week cycle.
grams per watt per day would be (grams per harvest500)x(harvests per year6.5)=grams per year
(grams per year3250) / 365= (grams per day8.9)
and then watts per day will be 1000w x 12hours=12000watt per day average. or 12kw/h...so then 8.9 divided by 12=0.74 g/kw/h
with a 10 week strain it would be 7.12 gdp divided by 12kw/h=0.59g/kw/h
imho i would use this as a base more than anything else...
1 g/kw/h is a great yielding room imo...this means you are pulling over 1.5 lbs off each 1000watt light per cycle.
