Alright peepz ,i've been using a 125 watt cfl for my vanilla Kush bessie which i have had in veg for about 8 weeks and is now about 42'' tall but have switched it to an 800 watt led grow light..i was just wondering roughly what my end yield be as none of my growing pals have tried this switch...any input would be great thankz!

if it doubles in height when you go to 12/12 you'll have a 80" inch plant. should be about 3 pounds give or take

8 week veg with one 125 watt CFL, and the plant is almost 4' tall?
I really want to see a picture of that plant to get a good idea of weight, and why so long a veg? You could have had almost 2 crops in that time frame. as your plant will take at least 4 months total to finish.
Oh, and expect 3x the height, not 2, so I hope you have the room.
I do a 4.5/5 week veg and set them off when they are like 12/15" tall, and easily get 4' to 5' plants, with topping.

It wont let me upload at the moment but the reason i kept it in veg is because i wanted a tree...i have flipped the lights before at 3 weeks veg and had good results but this was just an experiment of sorts,as vanilla kush is a more Indica dominant plant 70/30.. i topped it a number of times and lst'd ,i was just worried about growth rate due to the light switch...will post pics up soon.

is it a real 800w led ? or rated at 800w?

you aren't going to get much penetration into the plant either way and the bottom buds will be fluffy if they do get to 6ft tall plus.

if you can add some side lighting, that would help

42" now? Expect it to be 8-10 feet tall when it's done! Hopefully you have room under than new light

42'' tall after veg stage? That's impressive! You should expect the plant to be doubled in height before harvest. Good luck :)

stay away from ALL those junk Chinese lights and get a COB based light for a grow you enjoy. And not those stupid burple cobs either. We have several vendors right here on RIU that have great lights!
