LOL. I am aware that you get more harvests per length of time with faster strains. That's the actual reason you tend to get more per area with a longer flowering plant.

How much do you harvest with 600 hps ?

Best yield I ever did was years ago because it was a high yielding strain - chronic by serious. 9 females from 10 seed.
I ran the 9 under 2 600w HPS. I flipped after 8 weeks from seed and got just over 1.8 kg, of bud that looked brilliant and got you wasted but tasted like smoking lawn cuttings. After a cure it was like burning hey.
I’ve never got close to that ever since because I don’t grow any high yielders, I short/zero veg and I flush for a week.
I also downscaled and went from 2 x 600w HPS to 2 X 315w CMH.

The best one was 16 in 1,5 gallon pots,topped once and a screen was used to keep all the colas at the same height level. Vegged for 3 weeks.
A true realistic figure is 16 -24 0z a metre from 1 600
Have you considered trying coco instead of soil? You should see a decent increase in yield

i am on my first grow and must be doing somthing really wrong because my plants wont yield much. i have 4 planys in a 3x3 tent in coco 6,5ltr pots growin barbara bud small yielding pheno.

Where are they in the flower cycle? Lots of strains really only pack on the gains after about 50% through flowering. Some even mostly in the last two weeks. I've grown a few strains that I almost pulled up and threw away because they were longer flowering and looked like a waste of time, but they proved me wrong in the end.
Outside of that consideration, check your temps and/or CO2, get more air moving over the buds, and make sure you are using quality soil.

hi GatorGumbo they are week 6 of 12/12 now. and its a 7 maybe 8 week strain
my day temps are 24c lights on and 23c lights off. i am using coco.think i flipped em to
late they are 3ft and 3.5ft tall i didnt lollipop them as its my first run.i think running a 600 watt was a waste for me.i am feeding EC1.5

Those plants look great from a glance, honestly. Loli-poping isn't going to really make a huge difference. In combination with a few other things it can, but it's not a huge deal.
What strain are you growing?
Keep in mind that a lot of seed packs will say it's a 7-8 week plant when it's really a 9 or 10 week plant. It also depends on light schedule and temps, but again, not a huge deal. You'll know when the trichomes look ripe in any case.

Thank you for your opinion
I grow in soil of the critical + 2.0 in this photo, it is a mixture Skunk X BigBUD a variety with a lot of yield normally
Here is the picture other a variety in soil, with 12 plants per lamp in 3 gallon jars
I find that my secondary buds are not compact
this its black bomb variety

Here are the usual factors that reduce yield. You can probably work out which of them are affecting you.
1. Genetic. Yield varies widelybetween strains. You are growing a low yielder.
2. Environment. Temperature, humidity and light level and spectrum. If your temps exceed 28c, your RH is too low, your light is too small or wrong frequency, all will reduce yield.
3. Feeding. Too much or not enough or wrong type. Go with quality nutrients that others have recommended. Go by instructions and adjust as needed.
4. Time. The longer you veg the plants on 18/6 or constant light, the bigger the plant and yield after flower. Going 12/12 early slashes yield.

hi there spaventa i have 4 different strains 1 of them is a great yielder the three blue kings the lowest yielder is barbara bud so i am thinking its my phenos.if i had 4 x 3 blue kings in the tent it would be a nice yield.but the barbara bud looks nice in here own way.but i need yielders to cover the cost of my leccy. thanks for the info...Peace Rab
