So both the seed bank I bought my seeds from, and Leafly, list a probable yield for particular strains, I just don't understand the measurements. For example, Leafly says that "Blueberry" will yield 3-6 oz/ft². So, my current Blueberry plant is a little over 4' tall, and 2' wide (and still growing!) How do I figure out the measurements, in order to get a very rough estimate? Please help, I haven't been able to find answers to this, and I'm usually quite good at using Google. Cheers, Alex
Those are predictions in my opinion a perfect grow with alotta watts might yield that I’m always happy if I get a quarter of what they claim. But, that’s a large plant so I could see u getting 6-8+ ounces just my guess.
Thanks for your input. For the record, the plant I am looking at is 49" tall now, and has grown 5 inches taller in the last 3 days, so I wouldn't be surprised if it made it to 6' before flowering. I'd love to harvest enough bud to make Rosin, or bubble hash.
Yield targets are a complicated matter with a million variables. In a nutshell though. If your using the optimum amount of light, 50w per square foot of blurple or hid then you should be aiming for a gram per watt. High end leds need about 35w per square foot with a target of 1.5g per watt. You can get more than that but as a general guide line its fairly sound. Doesnt matter if you use 1 plant or 20, as long as you evenly fill the footprint of the light the yield should be the same. Ie when i grow 1 auto per metre i get around 20oz. This time im running 4 autos per metre and they look like 4-5 ouncers so about 20 oz again. Sent from my SM-J330FN using Grasscity Forum mobile app
That's my AK-47/Northern Lights Hybrid plant, I am fairly excited about it's potential. My Blueberry Indica plant has grown 5" in 3 days so I am again excited. My third plant was a Bubba Kush, I planted it in a flower pot at the same time as 2 other plants, it took a good 3 additional weeks until it was ready to go into the ground. I was about to completely give up on the Bubba Kush plant, it was barely growing compared to the rest of my summer plants, then it suddenly exploded into growth, 5 inches in height in 3 days. I am really hoping to grow 1lb total between my 2-3 plants, then I can make rosin or bubble hash from whatever remains.
Very useful information, you have my thanks for that. My indoor GSC plants are doing fairly nicely, I just have to wait another month for them to finish flowering. I hate waiting for plants to flower, even though I know their is no avoiding it. Cheers, Alex
So let's say, (and by "let's say" I am going to tell you the status of everything I have planted outside,) So I have 1 Blueberry plant, it is currently 49" tall, and it is growing upwards like mad, it has gained 5" in 3 days.) My AK/NLights plant has gained 3" in 3 days, and my BubbaKush plant, which I was about to write off as not doing much of anything, grew 5 inches in height, in 3 days also. My plants like what you do.
Definitely a good looking sativa bro. Quick area formula is LxWxH. Length times width times height. I like how Spanisharcher gave the wattage estimate though. Probably a bit more realistic.
