How much will one plant get me?

I know we all hate 'it depends' as an answer BUT....here ya go....

It depends on the strain, the quality of the care, the method of growing and the environment. One reasonably happy bagseed plant thats had no particular care (outdoor wild grow) got two of us smokable bud for a few days.

Four carefully tended, nurtured and loved indoor plants grown from purchased seed can yield nearly an ounce each. We have good lights, fertilizer, heat, circulating air...

One really pampered plant can do wonderful things, I'm sure, but you're going to have to treat it like royalty.

it really does depend on a lot of things. strain, how long vegged, how well it was cared for etc. i do single plant grows and ive yeilded no less than 6oz per plant for my last 2 grows. thats really just to broad of a question man...gl

 

see all 3 above.

 

Anywhere from one joint to two pounds.

You haven't even told us how you would intend to grow, which renders your question to about the same level as asking "how far will a gallon of gas take me?" without even revealing if you are riding a Moped or a Hummer...

 

You can't just have a solid answer, not even all strains grow the same way, plus it depends on well you care for it and what kind of equipment you provide, shit man use your're head, if you cant even think about that I dont know how far you will get, you might want to just save your money and keep buying weed from dealers.

 

And then you get to tell us!

one joint to two POUNDS? one one plant? be still my beating heart. REALLY??

yea there was a guy with a pot tree medicail grow on here and i think he got 10 pounds or more from one plant, but this is really rare!! Someone calculated that he can smoke 2.6 gs an hour for the next year.

 

I had a similar dilemma whern I stated growing. Not having any earthly idea of how many plants I need to grow to get an amount that would sustain myself and my GF. 1 plant? 10 plants? 100 plants? I just wanted a ballpark figure so I could decide the scope of my project - like how big the box needs to be.

You seem to be a smart guy. You used punctuation and paragraphs in your posts, that more intelligent than most people on here. Certainly nobody can give you a number that can be counted on, but surely someone that has grown before can give you some sort of ballpark.

That being said, I'm only 4 weeks into my first grow so I am only going off what I have seen in other people's journals. Maybe someone with a little more experience can back me up or refute me on this.

On your first grow, expect 1/4 ounce per plant. If you get lucky you might get 1/2 ounce. If you are super lucky and careful and get yourself a nice setup, maybe more. But if you go into it hoping that all your work might pay off in the form of one nice 1/4 ounce bag, then anything more that you get will be icing on the cake.

I have six plants and hope to get three females out of them. I have 8 square feet of floor space. If I get 1 ounce from that I will be ecstatic.

 

An experienced grower with a decent closet setup, decent height available, soil grow in 3-5 gal pots and not skimping on lights, nutes, fans, supplies, etc can get 3-4 oz per plant on average. Maybe more, it still "all depends."

A newbie is real hard to project -- impossible actually. I advise newbies that they should look at the first grow as a learning experience, there's a good chance you'll kill or seriously mess up the plant. If you do get it to harvest you could get anywhere from a few grams to 3 oz.

Don't skimp on pot size -- you can't grow a big plant with a small root system. Go organic, give them lots of proper-spectrum light, keep temps and pH in line, feed less rather than more, and you could come out nicely even on your first grow.

 

Check out growboys 1st grow, (feel weird showing off someone elses grow???) lol, anyway, he got 50g per plant with NL#5

He unforutunatly didn't post his final weight of his biggest plant, but check it out... I didnt beleive it when i saw it, but he harvested more then ive ever seen anyone harvest.

 

hey, i've gotten as much as 8oz from 1 plant but it vegged for 4 months, and as little as 1/4 from one that was a medium sized plant but was in poor conditions, make sure your plant is happy, and she will reward you. check out the book "how to supercharge your garden"

 

What part of the US do you live in? I ask because if you live in a place suitable to growing at this time of year (like Florida) you might want to consider an outdoor grow. My buddies and I have grown several plants in Northern Illinois with minimal effort or experience and have had decent results. The trick is selecting the right strain. Getting feminized seeds may help you as well.
