How much weed will I get off a plant?

The yield information says 395g per meter squared but would like more info?

Looks REAL nice for a newbie for sure! Nice work.

The yeild depends upon a few factors. The strain, the veg time, the light strength (lumens) and the grower's skill. So, your question regarding yield is pretty much unanswerable.

How do you pick the buds off of a plant? Second how do you know when a bud is ready to be picked?

Why do people use fans on their plantz? Having a fan on actually creates heat-instead of removing it. The only way fans cool ppl is because we perspire and the sweat evaporates-removing the heat with it.
Do you have that fan for circulation purposes-or do u actually think its cooling your room down?

well impressed with your first grow...

my first two test plants failed miserably and died before ever getting out of seedling stage...
my 2nd grow has started more successfully... she's still a little seedling but looks much stronger than the other two ever were...

any advice you can give would be helpful... check my journal...

If anyone can answer these questions I will appreciate it.

When should I start the next seeds off so that I can move in new seedlings as soon as harvest of the current two has completed

To keep this away from the current settings I was going to grow them from seed in a propagator under two 8 watt energy saving bulbs that each produce 420 lumens will these bulbs be ok for seedling stage.

400w sylvania grolux, and europonic nutes. This is my first grow, kind of a test run. Going to be starting the next lot soon

well just start them so that when you want to start flowering is the day that you harvest, so say it takes 7 weeks to grow and 8 weeks to flower, start your next plants on the 1st week of flowering

With my fan off my temp goes to 104 by the plants. 78-84 with it on.

Ok so maybe I waited a little too long before flowering and now I have a real monster on my hands, I keep getting confused over how long its been flowering for but this is now day 32. The plant has now got to just over 5 foot high so I am no longer able to provide light from above so I have a 600w hps on one side and a 400w hps on the other side with the reflectors facing in to give maximum side lighting.

These are some pics of the monster
