Yield will depend on veg time, growing conditions, nutes and a persons own experience. So that kind of answers how long you should veg. The more you veg the better the root system, bigger plant. Your environment is huge imo. Plenty of air and light. I don't know how well 12 plants will work in 15gal, can you split that into two tubs with 6 plants each? If you veg for very short time (week or two after clones root) you may get by, BUT as they get older they are going to drink a lot of water. I had 5 plants in a 10 gal tote, 4 weeks veg and the tub was mostly a root ball. The roots swallowed my 2 12 airstones, had to cut them out. A bigger res or less plants per res would make watering easier later on. You also want to look at your height in the flower room, you don't want to outgrow the light.

And you opinion is based upon what Earl? There is no reason that 10 to 12 ounces or even more can't be harvested.

i grow white rhino exclusively. If done correctly, it's an amazing plant. Super fast growth, very strong disposition, and huge amounts of weed harvested....again if done correctly. One thing I can tell you about this strain is that it likes to bush out, big time. It will try to take over the area your other strains are using to grow. I'd try to go with 2 reservoirs with 6 sites each, instead of one 12 site. and I'd get another light or 2....I run 6 400W'ers....

I wouldn't even go 6 i would go 4 a 15 gall tub but thats me, you can do 6 in a 15g res if you really have to but 12 in a 15g res is ridiculous you will have to many problems and your yield will be greatly reduced because of it so in a way earl was right if you do what you asked. and btw your lighting would be fine if you couldnt add to it

Even six plants can produce 10 to 12 ounces. Earl! No further comments. An afghani or indica hybrid of quality should be able to produce 400 grams in a square meter. A square meter is 1550 square inches. However say the resrvoir is only 24 by 16 inches so the plants bush out to say (40" x 32") = 1280 square inches. [(1280/1550)X100%] = 82.58 % so (400 x 0.825
= 330.32 grams (330.32) / 28 = 11.8 ounces approx. I would consider that a maximum however without CO2.
Even then to obtain that amount I would recomend topping off the reservoir level and adjusting the pH and EC twice daily and dumping and replacing the reservoir nutrients at least once and preferably twice per week. It could readily be done with an auto water top off system both a ph and conductivity controller that automatically kept levels automatically adjusted. Manually by hand your talking adjustments probably three to four times a day during the week or so of the budding stretch.
If your expecting high yield with a small reservoir either you need automation or you need to put in a lot of repetitive daily maintenance. The automation even using cheap eBay equipment would run a minimum of $500 to $1000 depending on luck of the buy and quality of the equipment. The investment is high but the pay back can be as quick as one crop.
