Nice crop...

Nice crop...

There is no question about the quality of Sweet Cindy buds and your last pic is beautiful. I hope your yields were as you hoped.

As far as the preflowers they should not interfere with the plants outcome much as this is a way recommended for growers to get a few seeds without harming yields significantly. Your seeds should be very large and vigorous. BOG :)

fallenangel, no I doubt it. And I may not be able to tell at all if I dont find my damn scale. Havent had to use the thing in years and now when I need it, it aint around. Suck!

Thanks BOG! That's what I thought about the seeds, and yes sir, they were extrememly well developed, falling right off the plant while still wet in some cases.

Just awesome... hope you reached your goal of a pound from your 400 watt.

Thank you so much for the LST info.

Your buds look fabulous... hopefully there is a smoke report coming in the near future.

Oh yeah, I'll be a happy camper in a few days. I just ordered a decent digital scale. Should be here late this week or early next.

Thanks Meister, BOG :wave:

Good luck man, I have never actually put efficiency as a point of emphasis for my plants so I have never been able to get more than 9 dry ozs. for a 400 watt HPS... but then against... i never weighed popcorn as its crap to me.

I finally made a half ass scrog this time and I have NO popcorn and a much better looking crop... ive decided my next grow will be all SCROG and done right... I have no doubt I will hit 3/4 lbs. ... So... i'd have a hard time guessing yours but it should be a nice and significant weight... good luck on your final weight.

Thansk Sunnyside. I have 10 done so far and it def. wont be an Lb. 12 ounces with any luck. I am very happy.

Well the totals for the grow are in and I'm well short of an Lb. 11.1 ounces or 312.8 grams or just under 21 grams per plant. The bright side is I have a new scale that works great and I have the ability t add five more plants to thsi space. adding 105 grams to the total would put me well over the one gram per watt goal, but not quite over the solid Lb yield from a singel harvest. Still got some work to do.

nice yield

nice yield

A crackin thread there but myself and quite a few of my buddies get between 12 and 18oz everytime with one 400w.We do grow hydro but we use only limited number of plants.I used 3 plants(powerplant/misty) and did 16.5oz in a 4ftx2ft space.We advacate the less is more theory meaning if we do get rumbled by the plod we have only a few plants.At the moment one plant seems to be the norm and 20oz a plant is reached on many occasions.One plant is placed in a 40ltr pot vegged and topped at least three times.A net screen is used and the plant spread under the screen and spaces 5ft x 5ft av been covered by one single plant.I must admit that we do veg for up to 4 weeks but the results are worth it.

This is one of the plants that did 21 oz of dried bud just to show u i'm not bullshitting.This one is under a 600w not a 400w but i do av pics somewhere of the 400w plants.The screen is 5ft square and the plant is about 6 weeks into flower.

Nice theory and a very nice plant. I've been able to get ~5.5 oz off a plant, be a neat trick for me if I can get 3 of those growing in my 2*3 space.

Good job, Cap. I think with a higher yeilding strain you can get over a lb on your next go around
