So i have a simple CFL cupboard grow setup. - x3 45w, x1 23w CFL - General fertiliser, kelp concentrate fetiliser - Air flow = yes - 5 gal container - Bag seed - 13 days into veg - Cupboard grow - temp between 70-80. My question is... If i flip the plant to 12/12 tomorrow (on 2 weeks), how much yield could i roughly expect? Would i get an oz? Please help me decide! Thank you
it's really hard to guess without seeing how the plant has been trained and how the lighting is arranged. I think you have the potential to pull a couple ounces if all the conditions are perfect....which will probably take several harvests. I think you could pull an ounce...with that much lighting it should be doable on a first grow. Look into LST and training your plant if you haven't already. You want to form it into a shorter plant with multiple top buds, rather than a big tall plant. Is it female ? ?
Yeah i thought about LST, but im going to try that my next grow. I currently have 3 plants growing, im hopefully going to get 2 females out of the 3 - sex is undetermined because its bag seed. The lighting is as close to my plants as possible without burning them (cfl) Should i veg for an extra week, or should i flip my plants tomorrow to 12/12? I just want to get around 1-1.5 oz from two plants and i would be happy.
it's ahrd to say without seeing them...it's up to you. You could flip now and finish up a little earlier..using that knowledge to get a headstart on the next grow.....or you can wait another week or 2 and you might get a bigger harvest. any plans for clones?
If you have height, let them go another week or two. Considering that you'll be flowering for 7-8 weeks minimum, the extra week or two won't add too much time to the overall grow, but may add considerable yield.
It all comes down to how you've trained the plant(un trained vs lst is a bit different in yield), the strength of the lights, the strain itself.. With those CFLs, at 2 weeks veg, I wouldn't expect too much or anything. A half to an ounce at most I would say. If you let it go another 2 weeks, you'll definitely be able to pull an ounce. Check out my grow, I'm hoping for an ounce or so out of my CFL grow.
Im going to veg for an extra week (3 in total) and then put into flowering.. if i don't get a decent yield then i know for next time that 4 weeks + is the answer Thanks for all the replies
