Yield...

Hardly!!! If, (and i use that term Very Sternly..) they were all to be female, and you know what you are doing, and you grow them right and flower them well, you can expect maybe an ounce At LEAST from each plant, so just average of 1 ounce per plant, that is 36 ounces 36/16 = 2.25lbs But that is if every plant produces an ounce, if they produce less... Obviously less, if more... Duh, we get the picture...

PEACE!!!

Did I understand you? 2.25 pounds out of 1 1000w light? I would love some of what you are smoking.

oh, duh, forgot about the lighting being used.... Oops My bad... ::APPOLOGY::

if you are growing 1 plant a 1000w is a good as a 400w, sure you might get some tighter buds, but there is only so much that plant will grow to indoors, in a book i have it says most growers aim to achieve 0.5g per watt, this doesnt mean your going to get that off one plant, it will be as many plants as you can fit under it reasonably

I think you should post a pic of this 36 plant setup, so we get more info out of this.

When done properly with the right strain my rule of thumb is, 1000w HPS = 1lb. This is an average for an experienced grower. That's about as close an answer as I can give you.

dude thank you....from what I've gathered, the yield is simply too low for me, 1 pound every three months from 36 plants is just not gonna cut it......

Sanifsan, 1st off thats alot of plants, 2nd , the use of one 1000 watt light is not an ideal setup at all, very inefficient, you should be using more like
3- 400 watt lights, 3rd, you sound like your in it for profit, and as such you should be researching a few things....a good commercial strain, like top44 which can be grown in as little as 6 weeks, and is ideal for sog growing.
You also need to research either sog or scrogging techniques.
As far as lighting goes, you'll probaly want to supplement your grow lights with some T-5's too placed along the walls.
What is going to hurt your yeild??? YOU! Your 1st grow, will obviously yeild much less than your next grow, as you will gain much needed experience and pick up some very useful techniques. Co2 is one such technique that may help your yeild increase also.

ur right about everything probably.....I'll will probably try to grow 25 plants then.....

This is all the same shit if been telling you!! LOL

oh i didn't say you weren't right...and I want to thank everyone who participated on my thread....I just wanted to know what i should be looking forward to so I wouldn't be surprised or disappointed, cause my own calculations were way off....

I know this really awsome grower. He uses a 600 watt HPS in his aerophonic system. He's been growing for years. He has been averaging 13 ounces per grow off of six plants. That comes to 2.17 ounces per plant. 60.68 grams per plant. Slightly under one gram per watt. And ... he's proud of it too.

if your looking at doing a sog, the times between harvest will be shorter but you will be lookin more at around half oz per plant, sounds like you are growing commercially and hope to profit, my suggestion would be to get multiple 600w systems as these are far more efficient and will give you more lumens per watt, and cover a greater area. The sog is great but you need more space to do it and more lights. The thing i cant understand though apart from the time aspect is why you would want to do more plants than you have to, if you get caught at any time surely it would be better to have say 20 oz from 10 plants than 12 oz from 30, just take a little more time with it and grow the trees to their potential. Also if you want to get more out of one grow light, have seperate rooms to flower in, when ones in darkness the other gets the light, double the plants for the same light

Nongreenthumb is exactly right. I've seen a couple of huge SOG grows ... and it takes way more hefty brass than I have, by far.

You are killing me LOL...most of the time on those sites it says for example 500gr/sqm which is 500 grams per sqaure meter. I didnt mean to put the m there and yes 6X6ft is to big for a 1000w. Just because you are growing more plants doesnt mean you are gonna get more bud. SOG is sea of grean. Search it and you will find tons of info. And I looked at the article and he was getting a little under 2 pounds in a 3X3 area which is fucking amazing. think about it, its on the cover of High Times....i think you are setting you goals a little to high.

yeah accully you're right for a 3x3 area that is fucking amazing mate,

I know ive just read over this thread... THE SAME FUCKING AWSER EVERYTIME either these yanks are retarded, or just dont lisen... READ WHAT YOUR TOLD MATES

I think I'll be doing most of my research using google form now on...people have been telling me that you can get only 2 pounds from 36 plants but after reading an article from what seems to be a credible source here's what I found:

Marijuana Production: Estimation Procedures

One plant can produce up to a pound of weed.

Just remember,
any averages in wieght done by the police is wet wieght. Stems, stalk, and all.

Celticman

PS Most indoor grows I see average between 1oz and 3 oz per plant depending on lighting, length of veg, amount of plants per square foot etc.

I mean my teachers always talked shit about finding things online unless they are credible...they always say read books or get a primary source such as an interview with someone with experience...the reason why I'm on this forum is because I want more information...so If ur not a primary source plz don't contribute to my threads...

ok i want to help. get a clean pieces of note paper.

your are on the wrong track. plant # does not equal weight. you can get 2lbs from 1 plant. you can get 4oz from 36 plants. you are going about the math all wrong. you need to concern yourself with 2 things: lumens and square feet. plant #'s mean JACK.

is this what i'm looking at. come on my friend your smarter than that. i want to help.
