Estimate? How Much...

So here's a quick overview before the actual question. I am currently working with 5 girls about 2 1/2 ft tall about three weeks into flowering. I am using a 600W hps and cfls for sidelighting, also they are in three gallon buckets using soil. I am sure someone on here has some insight as to what I could considered expecting in yield? I just don't know what to expect this time.

sounds like alot....


pics?

Depends on the strain but Im gonna say for a final dry amount 5-8 oz total from the 5 plants.Did you top,use co2,or lollipop these plants?

lollipop? whats that

cutting off the bottom 1/3 branches off to help with airflow. if airflow is poor amongst the plants it will prevent buds from fattening as much as they can. lollipopping helps with this because air moves under the plants better.

I got a WW, a Bertha, two Permafrost, and seed of some sort of Cush. I LST three while topping and topped one other. I left the widow alone but definatly clipped the lower branches that wouldn't have produced much anyways. Thanks for asking and everyones input, hope this helps you to help me.

we would need pictures with relative size comparisons shown to be able to even make an estimate, and then it couldent be accurate, because we dont know how well you grow.

Well,.....Thanks I guess? Kochab, I'm just on here to get a lil feedback not to be judged by whoever may read this. With that being said, here is a pic of week 3 flower at my current op. This isn't my first or only but we'll leave it at a personal thing for now. Just as usual i always learn something new but I am just questionable on the outcome since I don't normally experiment with girls on the smaller side. I apologize if the size is hard to view. Any suggestions? Comments?

In the previous post before the pics I was not clear I feel. I left the WW completely alone besides trimming lower branches. The Bertha I used the LST method and also clipped smaller branches. One of the Permafrost I FIM'ed the top and also clipped lower branches, the other I used LST. All four of those were from clone, the bagseed is from a cush strand of trees I had previously. I used LST and FIM'ed the cush and also trimmed the lower branches. I also have another set of CFL's on the front which I removed for the pic. Any opinion on the set up of lights? I know the HPS should be turned the other way for the direction of the room but the ventilation works much better as is. Thanks.

what is the general info on your grow....
what nutes how often how old in veg, what lights, style of grow, etc......

It is all there, besides that I am going from botanicare products to FF soluable products for finishing. Any suggestions?

It is all there besides I am going from Botaincare products to FF soluables for finishing. Veg about a month and a half, a little longer for the cush. Any suggestions?

id say 1.5 - 3.0 oz per plant

Thanks man, Any suggestions? I didn't mean to come back like a jerk but I'm sure you understand, it's all cool around these parts. I mean in outter space and everything.

dude, you stole my signature. did you raise the HPS for the pics? if not get it closer to the plants. was it hard to manage so many different strains?

Haha, that is funny, I noticed you using that signature too, I have honestly been using that for years in many different situations but its all cool, we'll both get by. I actually didn't raise the HPS but lower it ehhh? I could prolly stand to drop 6 inches now that you say that. It wasn't so bad since Permafrost is a very easy going strain. The only trouble I had was the Widow, I have to be very touchy with it and stay real mild with the nutes.

i mean, use your hands to see whats too hot and go right above that. good policy. as close as possible is always the rule, but not closer than a foot. i like to go mild with nutes also. just water a little, nute a little the next day, water a little two days later nute the next day. seems to be working for me cuz i havent had any burn and they are growing nicely.
