How many plants yield a pound

Not helpful. There are a lot of moving parts in your gardening process that influence yield per plant. If you are growing in a small grow tent, you may be growing small to medium size plants. Plant genetics greatly influences how much a plant can yield.

For example, the size of cola buds on a Dream Queen strain are much bigger than the cola buds of a Girl Scout Cookies strain. If you are unsure of your seed or clone origin before growing, that is a big risk to take if growing for heavy yields is your goal. You can lessen your plants yield potential by not properly caring for your plant indoors. Plant care includes the quality organic nutrients and water it needs to survive and thrive.

It may include plant training techniques like topping, pinching and supercopping, all to grow bigger plants. Did you give your plant a 2, 3, 4 or 5 gallon pot, or a 10 gallon pot? The bigger the pot, the bigger the plant. Lighting is another key ingredient to increasing your plant yields. With all that said about indoor plant yields, home growers who grow marijuana plants indoors in grow tents may yield from 1 — 5 ounces per cannabis plant, with a sweet spot of 2 — 4 ounces per plant.

A Pound! Cancel reply. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Coming up to my second year of growing on a larger scale. This cmmunity is awesome. Thanks ILGM.

My led is yeailding a lot and I know my other friend is getting a pound of a plant on led and electric bill is way cheaper no cooling for the lights more room to grow taller.

Are you joking? All grown using your guides with LED lights, yields vary depending how long I stay in the veg stage 5 week average. Thank you. Originally I purchased HPS lighting however it caused the temperature in the tent to be too extreme. Any suggestions for that?? I dnt want my yield to suffer because of the lighting. My two plants are currently growing in the veg state very well under the LEDs. I ran 6 watt cfls in a 8 x 6 and it cost me 12 dollars a month.

How do you see 2 x watt cfls how do you see them hitting that mark? PAR rating at 18 inches is Second run and 3rd run had environmental problems. Ended up with close to 7 ounces. New Samsung diodes on Quantum Boards produce better yield than hps per watt. Im sure cobbs arent bad either but i have no exp with them. Any blurple light is outdated. How are you measuring yield? Dried trimmed buds, wet untrimmed buds, or some other way.

Robert I just bought a black dog 1, watt led grow light and I have to say these plants are beast! Of course there your seeds! I will send pics around harvest…. Hi I have a plant that has grown only 30 inches tall and it looks like seeds it does not have buds. Can you tell me what it is. I have no name for the plant.

If you need pics I can send them. In 2x2x5. I have a? I am currently growing auto flowering Feminized plants. How far above the plants should the lght be? I have a grow space of 3. I Intended to grow just one plant. I will be following the advice in Your Various And excellent posts. I read your posts over and over and will put your advice and guidance to good use in the hope that i can learn and have a successful crop at the end. Thanks for everything you have written. It has inspired me to start this project.

If there is anything else you think I need to know about, I would love to hear your views. Once again. Great piece with great, crisp and concise, easy to read and understand while still chalk full of facts and information. Thank You. Thank you about Scroggins, I planted outside for my first time growing this past spring, guess what happen to them when they reached ten feet tall yup some stole them. All summer I kept saying there has to be a way to tie them down, so thank you thank you thank you this will be very useful this year.

So happy now. Robert, thanks for thw books, forums and support you have I am a new customer just completed my first purchase from you yesterday. However I am not new to growing two years ago I was forced into retirement for health reasons which is why I grow also.

I had to switch to all LED lights when I retired so I had better control over my electric use and was very concerned about yields and wow did they ever suffer then I bought two Viparstreca lights to experiment with i had four plants in my experiment and I was so shocked at my yield that grow yielded 5. So I immediately bought several more lights from this company. The two biggest lessons were actually stupid simple. Any company that sells me 25 feminized seeds and all of them are males I had the right to ask the company to help their customer.

I had given it much thought and read lots of reviews about this company am pretty excited to pop those beans and see how we do. Just curious. It would be better if you grew a shorter indica or hybrid.

And secondary into genetics, certain strains as you mentioned i believe, have higher yields than others no matter what you do. Also for timing as well because some strains flower faster. I just wanted to take these things into consideration for yield amount. I personally grow with 1 w LED and sometimes add a second W.

Not sure of strain but am looking forward to sharing results. Plants have been healthy entire grow and have multi colas from training. My soil is a mix of plant based compost and potting soil low nutrient. I appreciate the free knowledge and community exchanges. Hi Lou aka the derelict here? We do advise to use them within 12 months just to be sure.

We suggest keeping the seeds in a dark container with silica packets or rice to keep them dry and storing them in the fridge for as long as you are not using them.

I would recommend White widow. Very easy to grow hybrid with nice yield and an impressive social smoke. I am in week 5 of flower and expect to harvest my first plant in a few weeks. I want to grow a personal amount on my tiny deck, in Missouri. I want Jack Herer and Harlequin. Is this even possible? Can you please reply via email?? Alot of people swear hydro yields the most but I can tell you even with canna and canna nutes and c02 that guy does not get pounds per plant I had a guy who knew that guy try to tell me oh c02 this and that burn it and stuff.

For one c02 raises humidity so the guy has to fight with that and powdery mildew because he likes to grow kush strains so in the end some of the bud is dense but moldy. I use a gallon bucket with w hps and the rest led side lighting which brings me up to w of actual light I do just one or 2 plants I top the plant once depending on what strain it is.

I have used a screen tried without the screen with no noticeable difference. I pull half pound plants indica sativa no matter. I had a w hps setup before and did 3 plants got maybe 4 oz total with t12 side lighting using fox farm nutes and soil. I know if the led lights did nothing at all then id be lucky to get the 4oz from just the w hps.

I just chopped one and looks like 4oz of just colas I should have around 7 or 8 oz when its all chopped and dry which is not bad at all. Trust me it is not easy to grow a big plant without problems. You need air and air flow. I advise you to join support. I plan to use 4 w hps lights and start with soil as its my first grow. I was wondering if i would get bigger yields using single tents or if I was to get 1 big one a bonus and save on the set up. Nitrogen gains were with white dutch clover.

Would love to send pics. I am surprised you learned that at ILGM forum. The plant needs rest. Darkness is reqwuired to allow the plant to rest and transpiration and root growth is most vigorous in the dark cycle. So; No adding a dark period is not going to hamper growth it shoud have been used to stinulate all growth fron the beginning.

It is a misconception that more houts of light help speed growth; In fact it stifles the roots and peoper photo synthesis cannot occur without at least 6 hours of darkness. Some growers like to push this to 20 hours with clones but, never seedlings. Currently, I am growing 2 orange og in separate bushel laundry baskets. One is in fox farm ocean and the other in worm castings.

We just transferred them out of 2 gallon pots and seem to be doing well. I have enjoyed and learned so much from ILGM forum as I can see others plants in their various grows and am able to see how it could potentially effect mine!

I have a w led light.. Can you guide me about at what distance I should keep the light from the plants.. Yield is directly proportional to experience, grow methods, and maintaining a healthy environment. With that said; I cannot predict how well your grow will go. I am sorry to say you are incorrect. Wn experienced grower can get over aLB. In fact; I once got 1. No one can predict what you will yield. I can tell you this.

Auto flowers yield less than feminized or feminized seeds. Much less. I have a 2. I got 6. I bought the autoflower mixpack that has the Amnesia Haze auto, the Blueberry auto, and the Northern Lights auto.

I plan on planting them in pots with high quality soil. I was wondering about how much yield I can expect out of one of each of those plants.

Thanks for any info. Top yield indoors as a benchmark is a LB. Most indoor growers may acheive 5 oz. Only expert growers can get max yield indoors and the cost of equipment is high. Also; All this is subjective because it all matters on the quality of genetics, grow methods, and overall experience. No one can truly guess what your yield will be. There are so many variables that go into growing high yields. First; Experience. Learning how the plant reacts to your methods will help you grow stronger higher yielding plants.

I suggest you join our forum support. Happy growing. First; IN order for us to help you; We need you to join our support forum. The instruction you need is beyond the scope of a Blog comment, so I invite you tro join us here for expert and friendly guidance for successful growing. As far as Leaf and bud. You can smoke the leaves as well as the flower. Peace, latewood. The questions below will sound like questions with obvious answers.

But within my circle there are different interpretations of your yield comments. I know yields can vary. These are the following equipment that i will be using. Grow Tent — cm W x cm D x cm L 2. And the recommended nutrients and what not. Also another question, would Canna Rhizotonic root stimulator be any good on a seedling or is it not meant for that?

Thanks for your feedback! Sorry Robert. You are focusing Too Much on the larger indoor grower. I have two plants that I grow in my basement. The calculations and ratios you are giving are not relative to what I would like to do.

I have read half of your grow bible, and again, you focus a lot on the high yield grower. Not to diminish your teaching, but this is too technical for me. Then I got a mega bag from sports direct and planted one plant and got 3oz. I recycle the compost to.

The distance between plants is determined by the grow method, and size of clone when added tot eh garden. Hey, I was wondering if clones need to be a certain distance apart from each other when growing outdoors.

If so, how far apart should I plant them? If you put nothing into your grow, then you can expect as much return. Temper your yirld unless you plan on doing it right. We can help you grow successfully without doubting yourself along the way. See us here: support. It is definitely not an outfoor only method.

One plant with the branches pinned down as they grow is a lot safer than simply allowing it grow tall enough for people to see over your fence.

Full spectrum lights are the best spectrum and being proven everyday. Of course you can. Although most growers do not find it necessary due to having unlimited light; You could SCROG outdoors if you want to build it and work it. Is it possible to do a large Scrog, out doors, using natural light.

Seems it would be fun to try. Wonderful website. Red and Blue make Purple. The only Green is your plant. Not to mention that Blue is more vegitation, and Red is for your flowers.

Your success is a miracle. The specs mix all the way down the par and it gives you a bad spectrum and those lights can be very pricey. Get a red LED for veg and a blue for flower and see the difference.

Happy growing!! The ones that work have red only for flower and blue spectrum only for flower;dont use mixed spectrum. Think about my growing friends the colors red and blue make what color…green. Hi Robert, I just started reading your grow bible after I found a blueberry kush seed in some real good bud. I have a beautiful female that I give a lot of attention to. She is 8 weeks old and about 8 1 2 inches tall.

I am very grateful for the information in your grow bible. I want to send pics do I do it through e mail. You can syndicate the article but pls give proper credit to Robert Bergman including link back to the original content.

Can I post this at the Cannabis Associates Network? I have to smile. Imagine an old grower wanting to help you learn the things you need to know in order to grow successfully. I am smiling. Do you wan to know why? You are already outdoors and you are now needing to figure out how to nurture your plants until and through harvest. Awesome story BlueStu! I use one to start my seeds and it works great.. Not too shabby for a first time grower using home made hydro gear.

THe wuestion on everyones mind…. Very nice…. It stands up to and probably beats anything local dealers in my area sell so the experiment was a complete success!! Hi Edward, best hop onto the support forum and explain the steps you take in detail. I am a first-time grower outside in pots in soil I have five different strains co Kushage. Cinderella Are these good strains to grow outside.

I am a first-time grower in soil in pots outside my plants get sun from the morning from about 8 a. I am having problems with getting my plants to get beyond the sprouting stag The germinated seeds grow to small plants with two to four leaves on top and then just die. I folowe the grow bible but the pants still die.

Hello Money But I do learn from my mistakes and hope to not make the same one twice. Hydroponics is the way for me. I get bigger yields with water rather than dirt. What seems to be your problem? I grow hydroponically. All plants are in a 20 gallon cooler. I have a water chiller keeping the water at a constant 70 degrees.

And to complete the puzzle, I have an o2 Grow oxygen emitter with 2 emitters. Harvest will be in 3 weeks. I am on track for at least a pound. This is my first grow with all the right equipment. I had one hiccup with one of my timers. The plants did not have any oxygen for about a week until I discovered it. But it only affected one section of one plant. No big deal.

I learn something from every grow. Next grow will be the perfect one! How many seeds should be placed in each container? Cannabis plants, being photosynthesizers, receive all their energy to function from light. The type, quality, and amount of light you provide your marijuana plant directly influences yield and should not be taken lightly see what we did there? Sunlight is the most powerful light us earthlings have access to, so if you are able to give your plant direct sunlight, do it!

Sunshine is also free, and that is a big plus. Moving to an indoor grow environment, w hen it comes to lighting fixtures, it does not benefit you to get the cheaper option. We do not encourage growers to use incandescent light bulbs when growing indoors. To get enough energy for your plant, the bulb would put off too much heat and not be fun to see on your electric bill. CFL bulbs are equally useless. Stick to new technology to protect your plants and your wallet. While HPS light fixtures are historically the choice for those who want to maximize their indoor cannabis crop harvest, they are slowly fading out from commonplace.

An experienced grower can expect to harvest a gram of weed from each watt of HPS light provided to the plant. This means that if the light is a watt HPS bulb, then grams of weed could potentially be harvested. However, LED light technology is getting more advanced. LEDs are: 1 cheaper to run than HPS and 2 run cooler than HPS which also lowers the cost of air conditioning and 3 reduces the likelihood of burning your plants with too much light.

When choosing an LED light fixture for your weed plants you are up against a surplus of options and information. If none of these are present, you may want to look at a different fixture. PAR is photosynthetic active radiation. PAR is not a unit of measurement but instead defines the type of light needed to support photosynthesis. This is not often listed as it does not show how much of the measured light actually lands on your plants but is a useful metric to calculate how capable a light fixture is at creating PAR.

This is a spot measurement and is typically highest at the center point beneath the light and decreases as light ripples outwardly. This changes with the distance away from the plant. Photon efficacy is a way of defining how good a lighting fixture is at converting the electrical energy into PAR light that your plant can actually consume. This is not often listed in the spec sheet for most lights. Instead, most light manufacturers list the wattage, either total electrical watts or watts per square foot.

Knowing the wattage is good to budget the main cost of your indoor cannabis grow. We suggest paying attention to whether or not the company you want to buy a light from lists the actual wattage or the watt equivalent. Hint: if they are only disclosing the watt equivalent, the light is most likely not strong enough for cannabis. For example, a 10 watt LED may say "75 watts" on the package and in fine print say that the brightness is equivalent to a 75 watt incandescent. But for growing cannabis, you're going to want an actual real 75 watts or higher!

No, not really! When it comes to using light to maximize yield, maximize the light intensity to meet your budget. In some ways you may think that if you pop more marijuana seeds or get more clones that you will get a bigger harvest in the end. This is not always true. Each cannabis plant wants her own space. Planting more than one seed in a pot leads to competition between plants for the shared nutrients and reduced yields.

As seen in this photo below where two seedlings starved each other and both ended up dwarfed:. The size of the container that you grow your pot in matters, too. Outdoor plants have the potential of reaching extreme oak tree size when planted directly in good soil which can be hard to find and allowed to flourish in an open, sunny space.

The bigger pot, the bigger plant and the more pot. Growing in a grow tent, consider the total space as well as the size of your containers.

Best to give each pot space for the plant to fill out. In the same space with a watt HPS lamp, you can either get Yield can also vary based on the particular grow medium you use. It has been clearly documented that using hydroponics to grow marijuana can result in 20 percent more yield compared to using soil indoors.

Hydroponics increases yield because it is the most efficient way to feed plants. The grower supplies all the nutrients that the plant would naturally need to find for herself in the soil. But, hydroponic systems are also 1 more expensive to set up and run, 2 can take time like several runs to dial in a nutrient feeding schedule and 3 can go wrong if your plants are fed too much.

Fertilizers that are richer in nitrogen are ideal for the vegetative phase, and those richer in potassium are better suited to the flowering phase. Growing hydroponically you need to know which nutrients your cannabis plants need during their different stages of growth and have that ready. Whether you opt for organic, inorganic, or a mixture of the two is more of a personal decision. The important thing is that your marijuana plants receive enough nutrients to give you a higher yield per plant, but never too much.

Unlike light intensity, there is a sweet spot for nutrients when it comes to growing marijuana. Too much of a good thing can negatively impact your plants.
