I should yield a pound right?

Here's 18 kens grand daddy purple clones in flower at 25 days of flower. I got 20 more GDP clones on other side Note: all my cuts veg for about a week..all r in a 4 x 8 tent under 2000w air cooled. Temps are 78-81 all day.

can I get a pound?

I say those pots were about 1.5 gallons? so about 40 plants with 2000W. You should pull at least 2 LBS>

If something goes horribly wrong you might get 'a' pound yes With 2k watt I'd aim a little higher, like 3-4 pound. First grow? Aim for 0.5 gram per watt at the very least.

That will be ALOT of herb there

2000w in a 4x8 tent? Damn, I was runnin it with a single 6 when I had one like that. That's crazy (in a good way). If ya can keep the heat down i'm sure the ladies will love it. What brand of tent?

AC or just fans piped into the lights?

And yes, I'd say your chances of going over a P on the yield are good with 18 going.

Even if shit went bad and you only yielded a zip-per-plant dryweight you're meeting your goal.

I'd be surprised if you didn't get at least 2 pounds, as long as you keep the heat down that is.

Not to be Debbie downer but look at how small those plants are. I'd be surprised at an ounce a plant off those.

To OP with 2000 watts if you aren't getting at least a lb you need to adjust your operation. Those girls look nice and healthy so I'm sure your harvest will be nice and sticky. If you have 38 plants in there you should hit a lb though dude.

Ok, if he pulls 2pounds from that, what will my 2000w grow bring me. I have 5 plants. Wanna see?This was takin7 weeks ago.5 weeks ago4 weeks agoBig LeafThis was takin last week!!!View attachment 2632478These are a couple days old, I got about 10 or more days to go! They are really putting on weight!!!

Very nice grow Tentgrower, looks like a nice crop you'll be harvesting. I think ppl got mine mixed up..I got 18
clones on one side and a fresh batch of 20 clones on the other, trying to do a perpetual thing or I'm thinking about putting 40 in their and aiming for 4 lbs after all these are done but we will see
A pic of the other side..I'm going to post a few more better pics later

2,000 watts? I do 2+ lbs under non air-cooled hoods with 79-86 temps at 1200 watts with 6 plants in a 6' 8" long x 4' 9"wide x 7' 4" high panda film room. I would hope you get at least 2-3 lbs under 2,000 watts and over a dozen smaller girls. Your temps are perfection so as long as you got good air circulation you'll yield well. Next time I suggest you use larger pots and less plants.

He did mention that they were day 25 when he took the pic, so they still have time to get all grown and sexy.

There's no reason 2000w at those constant temps can't do just fine for what he's after. I'm going to use my (imaginary) psychic powers and predict he yields just under 2.

Like somebody else said though; less is sometimes more when it comes to #s in there.

Yeah im not knocking the guy. His plants look good. He is growing em well. At 25 days though the stretch is over so those plants arent getting much bigger. The buds sure as hell will but he said 4x8 tent. That means (just a guestimate) those plants are covering about a 3x3 foot area maybe a tad more. Since they arent scrogged its not 3x3 of buds.

I wish you awesome luck OP and hope im wrong and that you kill it but im sticking with a guess of 12-14 ounces from that.

Now im not a pro and our strains are diff and i use two 600 watt lights so its not a great comparison but i yielded 31 ounces of good buds and half a'grocery bag of larf off of this left and right side

If a person gets les than a z per plant, they arent growing proerly. of what you got, if you dont pull a pound, reacess if you really want to keep growing. its not worth burning power like you are for less than a pound.

unless you are growing a low yielding strain. then thats not your fault. but even than, plants with no nutrients grown in dirt usually yield a zip

With that much wattage, I'd be growing topped+bound big bushes. More penetration = possibly bigger plants.

I think he isn't using those 1k watts to the fullest by growing sog, you don't need 1k watt to penetrate 2ft plants.

I've seen some outrageous yields from 3 vert. 600's, over 2 kg ~1.2gram per watt and only 2 plants

U know when I see comments like this, all I can think is how pretentious that person is. I think between kindnug and shivaskunk, we can all put down the grow ops, these guys got it figured out. So I have been growing awhile, I possess 250w Halide, 400w HPS, 600w HPS, 3x1000w switchables. Does this mean I can grow, yea. But it doesn't mean I know what I am doing. Now I got 2 tents so I veg and flower at the same time, I actually have 3 rooms, the other is my clone room. You say if a person gets less than a Z/plant they don't know what they are doing. My friends start flower after 2 weeks of vegg, they are lucky to get 3/4 of an oz. per plant, but they grow 300 of them.

So the point I am trying to get to u. If u vegg 2 weeks=3/4 to an oz. for that plant. Now I vegg for 2-3 months under a 1000w Halide. THIS IS HOW YOU GET THE BIG YIELD! I vegg 2 months with my 400w, I can get 4+ozs, I vegg 2 months with my 600w I have gottin 8ozs. I got my 1st 1000w in Jan. and bought another one in Feb. and bought another one this month. So I haven't harvested yet with my 1000w. Oh excuse me, I needed weed so I harvested one of the plants last night. I only wasn't able to finish all my trimming for the one plant. The harvest is a little early, so the weight wont be as good as the other 4 that I will let go for another week. But lets just say, easily 4oz, but I bet it will be between 7-8ozs. for this one plant!!!One stem, ther are 15 more just like it or betterVery leafy plant, most people like to make bubble hash from this plantI have 3 rows exactly like this one. This is one plant that was Vegged for 2 months under a 1000w Halide and then flower for 52 days under 2000w HPS. Now I used 2000w for 5 plants. Overkill, kinda. As 1000w light footprint of my AC xxl hood is only 4'x4'. Well one plant is 3' in diameter. So one light for 3 plants was ok. If u stood my plant side to side from canopy to canopy, they would be 15' long. So I have 4 plants in the my flower room and I have no light green nugz, everything is fully developed and looking good. So, if u want quantity, learn to scrog or learn to bend, pull and tie down. I call it the Canopy method. There is no reason to let one part of the plant get more light than the rest!!! Don't u think!

Vegging 2-3 months... that's how you waste a shitload of time.... PS. Adding it in caps doesn't make it any more true.

Producing more than 2pounds from 5 plants makes it worth it, and by having a vegg room I am able to flower 5 times a year. Lets see 2pounds every 2 months. 10 pounds a year at $2500/pound=$25,000/year of tax free enjoyment. Maybe a trip to Jamaica, that's what we did last year. Oh yea I am a medical marijuana patient in Washington state. Also, I have a limit of 15 plants. Right now I have 1 harvested, 4 in flower, 1 outside, and 4 Afgoos and 6 Crazy Train in my Vegg room. Those 10 plants will be my next flower. And if I can get 2pounds from 5 plants, imagine what I will get from 10 plants. Oh also, Afgoo is a low yielder, but high in quality. So I have 16%THC and a shitload of it. Here lets remind u.I have not limited myself in one area of growing. I use organic dirt, that is composted Zoo doo, from The Woodland Park Zoo(seattle), I mix this with HappyFrog and Perlite. Hey how do u like my watering station. 60 gallon rain barrel. On a rainy day I stick a 5 gallon bucket under a gutter and in several hours I will have this thing filled. No chlorine and god's gift of life has a PH of 6.0. This is filtered water, good shit. I use a plethora of nutes, but my main is Adv. Nutes PH perfect. I mix in a little General Hydro with that. My buddy owns a Hydro store just down the road. Had my electrician brother in law add 3 new breakers and 12 new outlets which will give me 9200w of power to use.No sir, I got my shit together. I do it my way, u do it urs. If u get good bud, Awesome. If ther are problems ask me, I have probably had to deal with it myself. Peace Man

I have some strain that if grown under 2000 watts mh for 2 months before veg will give me 3/4 ounce per plant. This is and always has been a suedo. The others gave about 6 ounces per plant. I discontinued that strain because it wasn't and didn't have ALL the attributes I was looking for. The speudo, thats a diffrent story all together. I grow it for my own personal stash, weird crystal clear stony high last about 5 hours. with a grape popsicle flavor. Iv'e been smoking this strain for about 25 years and I've never built a tollerance to it. I can't say that about other strains iv'e smoked in 40 years. So I grow it. I did away with the high yielding mothers. And kept the low yielding variety. This was becuse it was awsome!! also there is a huge difrence between organic grown and chem nute grown. Ya just get more by playing god. Period. With your purps you should hit the 1pd mark easy and everything after that a bonus. MY OG (ocean Grown) Ak will provide a pound per plant sometimes more. But i veg this plant for 3 months with several F.I.M ings. I will Fim.until the plant max's out and won't continue to split. sometimes I will get 20 tops on a four foot indoor. This is a veg crop of ocean grown ak there are 400 plants they should yield 400 to 425 pounds.under 20,000 watts. Everything starts right here!! Everything about growing mj is strain specific. here is 400 melungeon magic spuedos!!!! next in the veg barn then bloom barn.

I wasn't disagreeing with your growing advice in particular, just saying that while you take a stab at 'others' for being pretentious you are so very obvious being it yourself I just had to point it out. As I expected, the accusation was merely a reflection of yourself. I will add 'arrogant' to it as well:

Oh yes just like you are the source on what you call the canopy method, so glad you finally joined RIU, really needed someone with so much wisdom. Have fun trying to increase the size of your epeen, someone else will chop it off sooner or later.
