Highest Yield Thread

[VerdantGreen]

For me, high density SOG is the best way to get high gpw numbers. I love verdant's modular SCROG and have seen it done before on a larger scale, 9 plants on a square metre, each plant filling a 30x30cm screen. SCROG is simply impractical for larger commercial grows. Sure, one guy with 6 lights can manage a SCROG, but more lights and space than hat and you wouldn't be able to keep up with the tucking and tying, SCROG is the ultimate in high intensity growing so is suited to smaller spaces.

High density SOG can pretty much match SCROG for yield and has the added benefit of needing no veg time. The way to do a high density SOG is to take your cuttings as soon as they are rooted and plant them out, I prefer small 10cm square 1.5 litre pots of coco. I put 81 (9x9) or 100 (10x10) on a square metre and grow the plants single cola, pruning off any branches. With 100 plants on a metre, you only need each budstick to weigh 6g dry and you have your 1gpw figure (given one 600w light per metre). However, there are many strains that will produce way more than 6g grown in this style, 10g per plant is a kilo per light and that is very possible with many strains.

hi indi - i see your point about doing scrog on a large scale. you would certainly need to be on some kind of rotation system whereby the first 2-3 weeks of training and tucking were staggered so as you didnt have to wrestle with a whole roomfull of plants at the same time. my main love of scrog is that it keeps my plant count right down.

as for veg time that can be a problem - the 1.4 gpw cheese plant was vegged for 6 weeks or so to fill a square foot with colas
but some strains, such as my blueberry only need a couple of weeks. i find a big repot - say 1gallon to 4 gallon, at the point you fkip them will produce explosive growth with many strains that will fill the screen during stretch.

Hard to argue with those results.

I also like building the systems. I'm an engineer so designing and building hydro systems is fun for me.

I tend to think hydro is easier for people to achieve good results. But many are intimidated by it before they understand how easy it can be. (not saying you) It's a very repeatable system without the variables associated with varying dirt composition.

ok we've derailed this thread enough.

good luck on your grows. Should I ever decide to make a dirt run I'd love to pick your brain as you seem to have a great model with impressive results.

thanks mate, you sound like hydro is the way to go for you because you think it is easy - i feel exactly the same about organic soil

good luck and stay safe

The highest totally dry fully manicured yields I have got lately have been in coco coir / hydroton mix on a constant drip recirculating hydro system using Advanced Nutrients ferts. I got approx 15 oz's under a 330 watt LED light (Lumigrow ES) with 1 small 24" T5 @ 6400k in each corner of a GL80L (Growlab) tent and the T5's only use a few watts each and are more for ambient lighting really & just to complete the spectrum for a full non-delayed flowering response, 4 total. This is only counting the top AAA quality colas and the space was not really even filled properly as some of the plants shaded each other out and competed for space plus there were empty spots, etc. They were like 3 - 4 feet tall also because I veg way too long.

There was plenty more under-bud lower fluffy stuff and very frosty trim (that could have been left on the buds) that was used to make hash and was probably 2 or 3 z's more total. So I would say I got approx. 1.4 - 1.5 gpw overall or about .75 gpw per 30 days flower time (approx 8 weeks total flower time) using LED light in hydro with Sweet Tooth #4 hybrids. Under HID this would have been much higher I'm sure but I don't know if the quality would have been as good. This is for personal medical usage though so yield was not really a concern, not as much as overall quality and plant health. None is sold whatsoever just smoked with close friends and mostly by myself!

Here is a partial garden shot from the side

ive grown nearly all set ups, nft,wick flood n drain, drip, aero misters but i will always stick to the fact that soil produces FLAVOUR pure and simple you can grow quicker bigger and better but you will never ever match the flavour that u get from soil.

i thought this was a big yield thread

 

[johnbobit]

how about casey jones for yield?

Sweet baby Jesus, is that SPG or Tooth? Looks like it

That vertical lighting and bush style in buckets is a monster yielder I'm sure.

You had me at no veg time.

You said some strains will produce way more than 6g per (In this style) which would you recommend?

Thanks for stoppin by

A picture of a bunch of stretchy scrogged out plants under a 1k still won't mean your homeboy got 6 elbows under 1k, you already said there was other lights so correct your story because if he DID get 6 bows it was from 3 - 4k watts.

Also, I have a 4 foot Sweet Tooth plant growing out of my ass as we speak I tuck it under my shirt when I go out, my weekly GH 3 part enemas keep it lush & healthy and I am 4 weeks into 12/12 which is accomplished by sleeping for 12 hours a day with the lights off and covers over it. It will probably yield like 6 pounds too. Smells like grapefruits & poop.

wow! sounds like your full of sweet tooth and shit. lol. no seriously though my friends yielded 6lbs from 2 1k lights in an arced scrog. 12 plants total. i know it sounds nuts but I was there and I was amazed myself. Not sure what kind of magic he put in there....maybe it was because he was jewish. I doubt it though

 

[SOTF420]

jahahaha yeah you could say that! I can definitely believe 6 lbs from 2k, 3 lbs a light is definitely do-able with heavy yielders all set-up right. Cheers!

When I grew my first batch of bud with my friend we had a hard time not getting overly infatuated with the plants themselves. I love plants in general, but pot....

It's the bee's knee's.

We would sit in the room for sometimes an hour just looking at them.
Thinking about how they grow and how we can take care of them better.

I always got this urge to eat the plants however. My friend thinks I'm nuts when I eat a stem and when he saw me eat the leaves he thought I'd lost it.

I'm getting that feeling again looking at these pictures. I just want to take one of those fat ass cola's and eat it like a burrito!!!!!

Anyone else ever get this feeling?

 

[Dr.Dank]

well i didn't take pics of the soil grow but we yielded almost 5lb from 9 plants under 3ks
this where the smaller plants 56 days flowering next week we got the big boys
this is all fed co2
each in black 5 gallon buckets on tables
we never grown any of this strains before this is a first time.
fed 3 part General hydroponics superthive and Monster bloom
each plant is fed every day with a system 22 gallons of water per light...
the room is sealed too with a water cooled air conditioner.
one critical mass plant almost gave a lb by herself of DRY cannabis flowers 56 days of flowering.

The plants that gave 6 lb under 1k was fed the same and some advance nutrients as well in veg the room had a Aquafogger witch kept the humidity at optimum level at all times.
only one light gave 6lb not grown by me... and it was 3 plants under it, the strain was Super Star sensi star back crossed to herself, she was grown in hydroponics with hydroton pellets fed every 12 min
RO water co2
the guy who grew her is the best grower I know to this day.

You should see this Sweet Tooth plant growing out of my ass, it's amazing.

 

[EddieShoestring]

Medfinder-at least tell us the strain

the highest yielding strain that i've found is Pot of Gold (TFD)
did a side by side with AK recently-same room-same nutes-same medium-same everything. The PoG came in slightly ahead.

hell yeah I love sweet tooth Im loving some of my jack flash at the moment she its all pink/purple from top to bottom veg for 5 months harvest in a few days.

 

[SOTF420]

Whadaya reckon' she will yield dude, about 6 lbs or so?

 

[HBxNLmaster]

DR Dank your friend lied to you and is making you look like an ass either that or you dont grow at all and you are just full of it. I seriuosly think should stop posting this in here as all it does is cause controversy and mess up the thread, there is absolutely no way you can get 6lbs off one light unelss maybe he is in a greenhouse and uses this for supplemental that would be the only way, me i think your friend or you are lieing this is just not possible not at all esp when you say that there were other plants under the light that means that he got more than 6lbs off this light it just cant happen dont care how long or how good of a grower he is. Even if you are a good grower if you post things like this it makes you look like you have never even grown inside, it makes you look like a total fool cause anyone who has knows how hard it is to get 2 lbs off one light and 3lbs off of one light is the best i have ever heard off and that is with everything maxed out so 3lbs is max yield for a 1k maybe your friend has some lights from the future and is holding out on us...lol this is just as likely

sorry to waste another post on this idiot but had to get my two cents in its people like this that really get under my skin cause i work really hard to get two lbs off one light and know damn well its not possible to get 6 that being said i am sorry to waste another post on this guy he needs banned for his lies and the thing is he just keeps reposting it ahhhhh its making me crazy i would honestly be violent with this guy if he kept claiming this in person.

on to what the thread is about
my best yeilder has been NL and a nothern lights hashberry cross that i had, with DWC and two weeks of veg from clone i always got atleast a 1/4 pound out of a 10 gallon DWC tub with both strains. With an 18 gallon DWC and LSTing and veggin for 6 weeks or more (lost track of time) i got 13 ounces of nice dense buds and absolutely no pop corn thanks to tieing it down

 

[Dr.Dank]

well I usually don't hate on anyone but some of you need to smoke some indicas and chill out, just because you or "buddys" never pulled 2-3 lb in soil or heard of anything more than that it doesn't mean it's not possible.
You can online bully ppl all you want if thats what make you happy
HBxNLmaster I know is hard to get 2lb of top quality bud of 1k
but of coarse you can get more than that Im sure Chimera DjShort Shanti all have pulled 4+ with their biggets yielders.
Instead of being haters

You should see this Sweet Tooth plant growing out of my ass, it's amazing.

btw grown from seed or Clone

most of you could learn a thing or two
keep it green and simple
and stop smoking that angry shitty weed (not all just some)
