How Much Do You Know?

Hey Gardeners, as I'm patiently waiting for my plants to go through their flowering phase I thought up of a little gimmick to pick your brain and help give me something to look forward to.

So here is the deal...

I'm putting this thread together to test your knowledge of grow room set-up and operation, as well as all other specs in between such as climate and plant variety,etc in relation to yield.

Experience is the best teacher, or so they say. So what do you really know?

Strains:

'93 Super Skunk ( Skunk#1 x Afghani) 8wks: Indica Pheno, 55 day finisher, can be taken to 65 for full amber sedative smoke, er so I'm told.

Grape Stomper aka Sour Grapes ( Purple Elephant x Chemdog x Sour Diesel) 8wks: Sativa hybrid, 55-60 day finisher. Cerebral high with even body undertones, diesel fuel soaked in welches grape juice. Medicinal.

Plants were vegged for an average of 3 months. The SS vegged a little less.

There is your work sheet.

From your knowledge, what kind of yield would these specifications produce in theory?

Step right up, step right up...

We're right behind you.

Thanks Buzz!

It's been a long haul for a single grow. I'm really hoping to pull this one off sufficiently.

It would make for a nice holiday season.

?

8 ounces to 3 pounds.

I'd be on the heavy end of the scale. It depends. I bet more towards the 8 ounces side because your veg is low watt. I think that's gonna be shooting you in the foot the whole time. High watt veg is a good thing.

If you do a great job over 2 lbs should be the target. Manage your canopy well with the screens. I am pretty pissed with less than a pound per kw especially with veg time. Imo, if you're not getting a lb per light and you are vegging, there is a serious problem and profitability is pretty questionable.

three pounds out of a KW? damn, and I thought two was out of reach for most average gardeners who the hell is getting 3 lbs a light?

3 elbows per light..... where does the line start for the secret?

yeah i meant to type two pounds. thats why i said that should be the target later in the post.

this is what I figure. If he flowers a bunch of plants, first harvest will be whatever, but in the mean time, he is vegging for a minimum of 2 months. If he say, was vegging with a big light, I don't think 2lbs wouldn't even be that difficult with plants vegged for that long. let me put it this way, you give me 2 months of real veg and I guarentee over two pounds a light lol.
