1 Pound Harvest???

[fatigues]

A full pound out of a 400w scrog? Possible? Under a 400w CMH with great genetics, the stars aligned "just so", and a lot of luck? Maybe.

But maybe is a long-distance call from likely.

Does not mean you can't give it a try and have fun doing it though. It is possible, sure, but if that's the benchmark of "success" for your first grow, I foresee disappointment in your future.

theres a thread on here where a guy harvested a pound off 2 plants with pretty much the same method of growing as u. let me try 2 find the thread so u can check it out

Why is your central focus on eventual outcome of ONE POUND ?
I am new to growing and am pleased to harvest any amount.
My first plant yielded about 3.5 ounces of dry weight buds.
The second was almost equal in dry weight.

I'm not sure that obtaining ONE POUND dry weight is possible since, from what I've heard
the dry weight amount is approximately 20% of the fresh wet bud weight.

Are you under the impression you will grow 20 pounds of fresh buds under a 400 watt light?

Good luck and if you do grow 20 pounds of fresh bud under that 400 watt light,
please let me know your secret !

20# wet weight would be 4# Dry. He would have to have 5# of wet weight to obtain his goal of 1#. I hope you grow better than you do with math.

Measuring canopy to estimate yield potential
Sinsemilla bud yields, per square foot of garden canopy

Canopy is a term used in agriculture to describe the foliage of growing plants. The area shaded by foliage is called the canopy cover. The data on this page are based on the higher yielding, more potent seedless buds, sinsemilla. The federal field data show that, on average, each square foot of mature, female outdoor canopy yields less than a
half-ounce of dried and manicured bud (Table 4), consistent with growersʼ reports and gardens that have been seized by police as evidence and I have later weighed and examined.
All other things being equal, a large garden will always yield more than a small one, no matter how many plants it contains. This is true for skilled and unskilled gardener alike. Restricting canopy will therefore limit any gardenʼs total bud yield, no matter which growing technique is used or how many plants make up the combined canopy cover.

Ah, because I rushed a comment and am not good with math deems me an idiot?
Gee, I wonder what it means when people correct my spelling ?

Gee, where is all your grow logs? I'd like to see how well you do.

I am recently working on my first grow too. I am into the second week of flowering. Its also DWC and i'm shooting for a pound as well. I am using a 400watter and an extra 250, but that's not that big of a difference. Anyways, fuck all the naysayers who say it cant be done and secretly hope you fail. It might be hard as hell and your going to have to your shit dialed in. Just read and take in the useful advice. Some dude on here named Mist knows his shit and has helped me alot. I don't have a whole lot of advice because i'm new also, but some key things i have learned is to KEEP RES TEMPS DOWN, AND WATCH PH, AND READ READ READ! Good luck.

So TwoPaid, 5# wet is 1# dry, i read that 20# wet = 1# wet and nearly crapped myself. I know all this stuff is not exact, but it gives you that ball park estimate.

I never called you an idiot. And I choose not to post grow logs or photos for several reason. I have nothing to prove to anyone.

Where exactly is this "secretly hope you fail" comment you speak of?
I do not believe ANYONE secretly hopes anyone fails, it is just being realistic and not fanciful dreams.

Yes, for every 5# wet should end up 1# dry. The 80% loss of wet to dry is a very close estimate.

I can see you pulling 0-10 ounces from under a 400w light......1lb under a 400w HPS IS POSSIBLE,but from what I see it has only been done by one member of the forums which is why everyone is telling you that you are not going to get it or even come close to a lb.

I use a 2.5' x 2' area with a 400w HPS and the best I can get is about 8 ounces give or take a 1/2 ounce.If I made the floorprint something like 2' x 3' I can see me getting up to 12 ounces or 2 ounces per square foot with the right genetics and optimal conditions and using every bit of knowledge I have picked up in my 15+ years of indoor growing.


Good luck man......you're going to need it.

I do not believe ANYONE secretly hopes anyone fails, it is just being realistic and not fanciful dreams.

I wasn't tryin' to be a dick or anything, nor was i implying that anyone here or on this forum wants a fellow grower to fuck up a crop or anything like that. I was just trying to tell the guy to not to worry about the 90% of people on this thread that said its impossible or that he's not going to get anything. i mean shit, he could be the next albert einstein and pull of 2 g's per watt and and get 2lbs. That is fanciful thinking, and i know that is not going to happen, but most of the people who comment on these sites are naysayers. You could say it comes down to odds, but in this case, as far peoples' negative comments, i was trying to even out the "positive odds" if ya get what i'm sayin.

But as far as people hoping for others to secretly fail, yes i think that happens absolutely all the time, it is fanciful to think that it doesn't and you live in happy land. You don't think athletes, teams, opponents, polotical figures, friends, etc every want anyone to secretly fail or have a mishap for their own benefit?
