Low Yield. Why?!

Yeah, they were harvested at 70 days from the time i switched to 12/12, but most of the plants still had about 50% clear trichomes. I noticed quite a few hermaphrodites/stamens/nanners at day 63 and I didn't want to end up with a bunch of seeds so I chopped them a little earlier than I would have liked. Most buds didn't seem to be increasing in size after day 60 or so, but a bunch of buds started foxtailing around that time.

Even the same strain/ clone can take longer to flower/mature if all conditions arent met for that particular plant. I think you did good with the overall health of the plant. I'd personally say it was a few factors not just 1. E.g.. strain, flowering time, temps, possibly had the light too far away? Veg time or lack of plant count. Generally if you want a pound per 600w you have to really fill the canopy with colas. (And have a fairly high yielding strain) Hope ive helped. (And sorry about the pissing contest earlier with growforfun! Haha)

Thanks for the advice, and don't worry about your growforfun argument. I think I will try a few different strains next time, more reasonable temperatures, and I will try to fill the canopy more densely and train them to be more even in height. I think I will let the plants veg for longer and also I will try to stop feeding as much nitrogen during the transition to flower. I'm not expecting a pound since I know my light isn't the best. I would be happy with 8-10oz next time.

Veg and train. Get your girls ready for the fat bud olympics. Get that trunk THICK. Add some more modern led. Check out the strip builds folks here do. There's an led section in the indoor forum that has a ton of info. Pretty cheap and easy. Some warming pads for the root zone temps might be a good thing.
