mite/root rot damage on yield

So... this was my first grow across state in a new place... and boy did the shit chickens come home to roost... this current grow was the first time I've ran into problems w/ heat, spider mites, root rot for 3 weeks... however, after all the problems I've had the girls seem to have recovered well... The very bottom 1/6 of both plants leaves are still deadish looking. I've heard that leaves affected by root rot wont recover. BUT the plants look beautiful. everything is perfect now. I'm growing in a 4x4x6.5 tent under a 1000 watt light. In the past I've had no problem pulling a pound dry.. I'm about 1 week into flower, they've pretty much almost filled the 4x4 and are about 2-2.5ft tall20140811_022428.jpg

how bad will my yield be impacted? everything is dialed in now.

When I was hydro. I got root rot on 12 plants the 2nd week into flower. I went and got hydro guard and hand watered 2x a day. The plants survived and produced (less than an ounce per plant) but I had to cancel hydro and go back to soil. I'm in az and it's 105+ everyday during summer at least 5 mos a year. Unless water temps are 70 and below I would not risk having to save my whole forest. One day plants are healthy the light cycle they look fucked. Too much stress. Good Soil makes growing so much easier.

Not sure about it. But if you have grown this strain or know the yield information for this strain you can judge how well you are going to do with a spectrometer. I measure the sucrose content of my plant and use a formula to guesstimate how much I will yield:

14(highest I achieved, but this is your target) - Current Brix / target X (your plants coverage area/ sqm) * grams per sqm of your strain.

Sorry if it's confusing but I can clarify if you don't get it.

If all your problems were solved before you started flowering then it should produces well as it would normally. The size you vegged it to may be smaller then what it would have been if it was not stressed.
