How many plants would it take...

How many plants of midgrade would it take to grow a pound of weed if I had two 80watt CFLs, growing on soil and adding the proper nutrients. Say I keep the temperature, humidity, pH, etc. at the reccomended levels and stuff - how many plants would I need to grow to end up with a pound of green? I've that people are saying one plant = one ounce but that seems so low. What's up?

I hate to burst your bubble but your gonna need a lot more than 2 80W CFLs to grow a pound of weed. I have 2 125w CFLs just to grow 2 plants, and I'm hoping to get a few ounces. Sorry

with those lights you should get at least half a gram a plant

LOL wow, okay so fuck those lights then. What kind of CFLs should I use to produce a pound, then? I've never grown before, but I've bought some things to start, and I have enough space and circulation and all of that but I'm kind of unclear on how much light = how much weed, etc. I've read everything on this website and pretty much every other website out there but I still haven't really gotten a clear explaination on how much light it'll take to get a pound, or even how many plants it will take. I really need more than that and I don't have the means to get different seeds. Would CFLs even do it or do I need to think about Metal Halide?

Well, you obviously have not read that much, which faq, recommended a low light solution to grow a high light requirement plant? Think HPS lighting dude.
Go look here at there lighting. Than come back with your questions, you'll notice they don't sell cfl's.
Peace

gorilla growers try to get 1 to 3 lbs out of each plant

They grow outside and the plants reach 20 feet tall

They pick teir plants to produce weight not potency <-- the bag shit your used to buying

to give you a better idea some seed shops will display the expected weight per plant high and low

here its is Haze 19 x Skunk | Marijuana and Cannabis Seeds for Growing your own weed. Straight from the breeder.

look where it says yeild to give you a better idea but to get their weight you will have to grow their way not yours

300 - 400 grams = 300 grams = 10.5821886 ounces
400 grams = 14.1095848 ounces

to get this answer fast and easy I go to goole search engine at google.com not the one in your browser that says google search

i type 300grams to oz and hit enter

2 of these plants should give you one pound but untill you get experience it won't work that way

I bet if you ask where you buy the seeds they would know

if you have noticed most of the post here talk about how good hard easy

you know the growers stuff

dope dealers talk weight you won't find many of them here but we still want to help you grow

LOL what?! Dope dealers talk weight? Are you serious? Nigga if you smoke then you know how much damn weed you're growing. Besides, you say dope dealer like there's something wrong with someone who sells weed and I KNOW you can't feel like that if you're a smoker. Don't be like that.

Anyway, I've asked similar questions all over the internet. It just sounds like to me that it has a lot more to do with lumens than wattage obviously, and also depends way more on how you care for them and what kind of weed it is also. But yeah, I've read so much FAQ I actually took almost a whole notebook full of notes on it, it's just that so many people have different opinions. I wanted to hear from real people. Most of the time, people on the internet get really uptight about a question like this from a new grower, but just chill out 'cause it's just a question and it aint that serious.

Maybe I should rephrase my question then.

To anyone still reading and responding, my question is this: Does anyone here grow more than a QP? What did it take to get you there?

I'm not asking because I think I can do it right now, but I just want to hear from folks.

i'd use the HPS for flowering and the grow faq section has some good tips..but in terms of yields i'm wondering the same thing...how much (maximum) will i get out of 1 plant? the reason i'm asking this is because on the picture section i've seen some indoor plants that are HUGE

Ok Nigger

Go do it then and come bk in 3months with a pound from LMFAO 2 80W cfls

Do your self a favor and go and read through the grow journals and you will see you wont get no where near it..!!

you stand a chance with a 400 + hps set up but then if you have done as much reading up as you say then you should allready know this and have it in your note book fool

From my experiences i try and aim for 3/4 of a pound per plant. My 2 different hydro dealers say i should aim for at least 1 pound + per plant (which im aiming for this grow with big bud seeds.) If this is your first grow dont have high expectations. You need alot of hands on experience and to learn how to manage your grow room correctly and effectively.

IMO its not about how many plants you got its how much room you have to grow them. Referring back to Moon Shadow the guerilla growers grow 20 foot plants and get 1 to 3 pounds per plant. All those ppl that try and cram 10 plants in to a small closet is a waste and a huge risk. Why would you want to get busted with 10 plants when you can grow 2 large plants and get the same amount of yield if not more. But then again i use bud wise which has never failed on me getting females so i never need to grow back up's and waste my nutrients on plants that will end up in the bin.

P.S. You will need a shit load more lights if your aiming for a pound per plant. Try a couple 1000w hps its expensive now but it all pays off after 1 grow and you can get your self a jet ski with the remaining money. Think of it as investment.

I'm sorry you took my post in a negative way

Most of my friends are dealers and I find nothing wrong with dealers except most of them are after a fast buck PERIOD

I want good weed and where I live their isn't any until you spend in the thousands

I answered your weight question by doing a google search trying to help you

My first 2 grows I got zero weight because I was asking all the wrong questions

molasses will increase your weight but first you need a bud

Yes I am serious and if you want a bull shit answer then say so in the post they are alot of jokers on here and some damn good one to

Some of your words affend me to but I won't respond because I don't know how you ment them and if they were ment in a bad way toward me then thats your problem not mine

Forgive for using the word dealer and I promise not to use it again

and good luck with your grow or weight which ever it is

pounds of weed? Wow that's heavy stuff man. I'd be thrilled if I got an ounce or two especially considering this is the first grow. I agree with everyone who told you to slow down. You're not going to grow that much, not your first time.

if you want to get a pound, try and a)get a decent strain, B) get enogh room C) give it time.....

Yes a bigger plant will give more bud, but are you willing to wait the extra month or so?

and outside growers my get 20 foot plants with crazy high yeilds, but it's shit weed, and it took them half a fuckin year!?

Moon, I didn't mean anything in a bad way I just thought that you sounded like you didn't like drug dealers or something but I guess I read it wrong. Anyway it's all good.
big bud, you're just a fag internet geek who cant read.

Everyone else, yeah I never expected to be able to do it my first time or anything it's just that I was wondering like how much weed the people on this website grow and what it takes them to get there. I never saw any real answers on yeild (except for how to maximize it), because I think I was looking for some kind of general rule or guide, y'know? But maybe there ain't one. I was also thinking that it had something to do with the lumens per sq foot or whatever. Anyway, I've heard the molasses thing before, I hope to try it one day - anyone ever experimented with that?
Also, rather than to grow like a pound on a couple of plants, has anyone ever heard of or tried to do the Sea of Green thing? How the fuck does that work, exactly?

But YOU said tjandmina and I can quote you on this, that you have read this whole site so why do YOU need answers? dumbass

Now you want to switch from a pound on your first grow with 2 80w cfls lol to a sea of green is this because you re-read what you had typed and found that indeed you sounded like a fool?

Well supposedly 1 42w cfl is eguivalant of 150 watts.
They say per every 1000 watts you should be able to grow a pound.
I would say some where around 20-30 cfls and about 10 plants you should get close to a elbo if done correctly.
I would have at least 2-3 cfl per plant.
I am sure it could be done. It is just a matter of how many lights would be necessary.

Hmmm, sounds kinda crazy to me, that's a lot of CFLs. I'm also sure it could be done, too but I just don't know what the best way would be using CFLs y'know? That sounds like a shit load! I still gotta see what I'm going to do now, but thanks for the ideas.

Bigbud, I heard you the first time when you said you didn't know how to read, it's okay I'm sure you'll learn one day. We know you have no good information anyway, jealousy.
