Average Yield per Plant (dry) Indoor

i have a semi-perpetual going so my grams per watt estimations are useless since i harvest sporadically, and i'm a bit of a "ghetto grower". but i usually have 4 or 5 plants under my 400w hps at a time (in soil). they are first vegged anywhere from 4-7 weeks under t5 mixed spectrum lamps, and they get lst'd like hell (only due to the lack of vertical space in the veg tent). they are crowded as hell under the 400w and have usually been burnt from growing into the t5s (they completely recover during the stretch so whatever). i have almost no environmental control and the flower closet is cold in the winter and hotter than hell in the summer. all that being said i can still easily expect 2 oz per plant from even the most abused plants, plus another half oz or so in decent popcorn. 4 oz is not out of the question after a long veg but that comes down to strain, i'd say i "average" about 3 oz a plant. i'm not much of a strain whore but my biggest yielder to date was a big buddha chiesel. spring and fall are my glory seasons because of the weather. if i estimate and average it out i probably get around .75 grams per watt. not bad for almost no environmental control.

This is my average grow and Yield

Start from clones at 8 inches in height
450mm wide tubs
hydro in rockwool - PH 5.5 all the way through the cycle
Each tub 500mm from the next in a grid formation
Each plant under a 1000w HPS (remember it makes no difference about the number of plants per square meter, it's the yield per square meter per 1000w)
5 week veg
LST, pinching and SCROG techniques employed (never top, too stressful and delivers lower yields compared to LST and SCROG)
Each plant will be at least 1200mm in diameter and no more than 400mm in height before switching to 12/12 (Great big dome shaped things...)
80-120 Heads per plant (tie her down every second day and remove every leaf that covers a growing head)
No snake oil, basic nutes only
No attention paid to flower time - simply waiting for the triches to turn dark amber (could be 7 weeks, could be 10 weeks)
Average Yield per square meter 1100g (Thats almost 40oz per plant/square meter for my American chums BONE DRY)

If you want 3-4lbs per plant hydro then the above remains the same apart from doubling the distance per plant, veging for up to 10 weeks and having 2000w per plant

Yield = Tub size + tub spacing + light per square meter + LST and scrog - Simple

I guess everyone on here would add an extra inch onto their dick measurement when asked how big it is, but mines big enough to take an inch off...

I want to know more about this. Can you give me some more details? What type of screen do you use and how wide/long is it? What nutes? How tall are your pots? How far from the top of the pot is the screen on average? Are you using a sativa strain? Do you have any pictures? How close to the top ofthe canopy do you keep your lights? How often do you pinch the stems? When you say pluck leaves that cover heads do you mean just in veg and early flower?

2oz. Which I'm pretty happy about. Working on improving it though.

Roughly .5 grams per watt is realistic using hid lighting...

3 girls, under a 6, 3-4 wks veg, 5zips total, two papaya, and a bubble from nirvana.

My grow method

4+ weeks veg required for all plants. some plants like my Blue Mystics are in veg for 11 weeks (2 weeks for clones since roots take extra time to develop) cant tell you what they yields(haven't flowered)
I use a 1000w hps in one flowering tent and a 600w hps/mh in a much smaller tent.
Under 1000w i get close to 75 grams dried per plant depending on strain, some yield double that others yield less and it also depends on how much room i give them to grow. usually 6-9 plants under 1000w
in 5 gallon pots. when using the 600w for flowering i get similar results around 2-3 ounces a plant and i can fit 8 plants in the tent (each giving close to 2 oz) or one huge plant and get around a pound.

my rule of thumb is, indica dominant hybrids yield better than plain indica's (observation) and sativa leaning hybrids yield better than pure sativas.

i dont cash crop, i just grow what i smoke and what i decide to breed. i grow alot because i like making edibles.

different circumstances require different methods, so if you ask something like average yield per plant, you have to take into consideration that no 2 plants are identical because of their environment and that includes whether or not you tend to each of them equally or neglect them.



to yield alot you need a grow environment with 5 things

Light (Directly impacts yields and heat)
Airflow (prevent mold and pests)
Heat management (important)
Dedicated feeding schedule (no overwatering or screwing up PH)
Attentiveness (pay attention to your plants)

If you are getting over a gram per watt you are the 1% er. Genetics alone can at least double your yield. I had a plant from the same strain as the others, in the same tent, same pots, that was double the weight of the others. The best strains do not tend to be high yielders btw.

First grow shining silver haze 5 oz, 4 weeks veg, topped, under 600w with fox farm ocean Forrest and 3 pack..
Second run 12/12 from seed candy Kush 1.5oz, train wreck 15gr, Mekong high 1oz, super skunk 18 gr.
3rd run head band 2.5 oz 1 plant and second head band topped pushed out 3. LSD pushed out a little over 4.5oz. This run was with fox farm ocean Forrest and entire bio bizz line.
My last run of diesel and LSD pushed out about 2 oz each in the water only moonshine man mix.. Quality was insane though!!!

Now I'm running 1000w with super lumens so I'm hoping to avg 4-6 in organic soil.

Nobody else wants to admit what their yield (of trimmed and dried bud) per plant was

It's not about that. Yield per plant is a completely useless statistic. I've yielded a lb per plant and been extremely disappointed and I've yielded a 1/4 ounce per plant and been really happen with the yield.

In a 4x8 hydro tray I've done 99 plants, I've also done 12. I get a similar yield either way, just different growing styles. It's not necessary better or worse either way, just different. Yield per sq ft and yield per watt are much better barometers for measuring success. Yield per plant with no other information tells you exactly nothing.

5 grams per watt, your either weed jesus, or your chatting complete and utter bullshit

or maybe im way too high to read properly..... my bad, Jah bless

My first grow was a complete experiment. Basically my test run to see if i could grow a plant start to finish with a decent harvest. Germd a bagseed, vegged 30 days, used a little less than 150w of CFLs ina stand up cabnit and pulled 25.5 grams dried with a bunch of seeds lol.

This time around i bought nutes, good growing medium, more lights, good genetics, bigger pot, ph meter, etc... and looking to get atleast 2 zips

your a knob mate how does he get 36grams in 8 weeks if he vegges for 5........... 3 weeks of flowering no wonder why he's only getting just over an oz out of 2 plant fuckwit'

waste of my time reading this shit

If your not pulling in at least a pound per light then you doing it wrong But 2 pounds per light then you know you can call yourself a grower!
