Auto yield expectation -nirvana

Is it possible for an experienced grower to give an estimated guess as to the approximate yield per plant based on how the plants currently look at day 25? (see picture- 5x nirvana short rider autos under an air cooled 400 watt hps, grow tent is 2x2x3 ft. Lights are running 20/4. I'm doing foliage pro and fox farm big bloom twice per week at 1/2 the normal dose and distilled water (ph = 6) on the other waterings. Any thoughts?

Also, on a couple of the plants, the lower fan leaves are turning yellow. I removed them. Was that an OK move?

Are those buds or pre flowers ? Do they look normal? 3 of the 5 short riders are in the pic day 25

Hi. Yeah, your plants look well.
I guess you can get at least 30 grams per plant.

About a pound dry from each plant. Happy growing!!

About exactly one pound / nice plants!

If you google any strain you can get up information off seed sites that will tell you what it can potentially yield if its grown correctly and in the right conditions. The stats for Nirvana - Short Rider are 200-300g per m2.

No one can say what you will actually yield. There's to many variables to give an exact figure on an individual grow. You just got to do things right, be patient and see what she yields. If it's really low then obviously you need to look and see what you did wrong.

Also, be realistic about it. I'm new and I'm not expecting to pull in the "expected" yield. It says up to 100g yields on the stats for my strain of Auto AK, But I'd be happy with an ounce a plant for my first grow. I've made a few mistakes and had a few problems so just gotta be real about it.

Yeah I hear that bro. I guess I just have that new grower excitement and am hoping for good luck! Good luck to you with the Auto AK!

usually 1 ounce off a 1 ft tall auto

but thats like average.some strains pull a lil more,some a lil less.. u awwready kno

About 1 pound per plant. So you have 3 plants that would be exactly 7 pounds.

You guys are out of your damned minds...The most I have gotten from an auto in hydro is 4 zips... WTF are you smoking? I have seen pics of autos grown outside that have done 8 after 1 month cure but you gotta nail it from the strain to the brain bro...

A pound, you guys are nuts....
....... hes gonna get closer to the kilo per plant!

In dwc you could hit very close to 8 zips per plant consistently, with various strains. The genetics react very well to dwc and there really is no size limit, just lots of stretch and internodal spacing...

Anytime anyone asks "how much bud am I gonna get from this 1 plant in a tiny ass grow cabinet under a desk lamp?" the standard answer here is a pound. It's a mixture of sarcasm and annoyance for being asked such a tard question.

^^^correct

But in all honesty, all of us were here at one point in time and we are here to help one another.
The answer to the OPs question is going to vary wildly between now and harvest, and to what we all differently see as yeild worthy buds and shatter factory buds etc all comes into play. A fair guess is an ounce per foot of plant, but then again growing conditions and the way the plant is treated at all different stages of life also effects end result.
I currently have 5 plants going, all various heights from 12 inches to 36 inches. The two that are in the middle are 18 and 20 inches tall and look to be able to dry and cure to 3 ounce each, whilst the two taller plants have loads more bud visualy, but arent as dense...
So many things to factor in.
E.g
Short

Tall

Ps. Day 70 in these pics! Close to ready...

Looks like your grow tent and lights are also growing. Maybe get your story straight? Tard.

About a pound.

Maybe 2 pounds since you have a huge tent now....

I usually averaged 23 dry grams of bud per plant with this strain.
