How much should I harvest?

i didnt read the whole thread but your yields are very low. If your running 75watts per sq foot ( thats a lot) 50 would do fine for larger plants like your running. 75watts per sq foot is enougf to run a very high yielding sog , iv run less then 75 watts per sq ft with flouros ( which produce less lumens per watt) at 4 plants per sq foot (only 21 inches tall, due to hight restrictions) and achieved 3 oz per sq foot of strong HOG bud.
But with enougf room for 30 inch plants at 4 per sq foot and 75 watts of hid light per sq foot and a strain well ssuited for that singe main cola style of growing 5oz per square foor has been achieved. The HOG from thseeds is what i ran, and what was run for the 5oz per sq ft grow, its known for its high yields in sog and strong stinky bud. so if you do the math 5oz X 16 sq feet is 5 lbs or 2240grams., but keep in mind that is in sog style grow and lower numbers of larger plants would almost allways yield less. and keep in mind that most plants dont/wont yield as much as the hog in a sog.
 
I got some seeds from BC BIG BUD this week. They were sprouted this morning. So I placed them in promix a couple of hours ago. I will see if that will help my yield.

But I think that I have other problems and no only my strain(bazooka from canadian genetics)

Re: How much should I harvest?

Have you considered ir thermogun..I used to use a regular one with a remote sensor to get multiple readings but I think the surface temp of the plant is more useful to me than the temp of a random single space of air.

Also consider loosing the hood and drop that down vertically maybe its time for 5 gallon buckets? Just off the cuff...

Ime there's a noticeable difference in 3 to 5 or 7 gallons...I used to try to get 3 gallons but I think 5 is better even with the same veg time...

No never. How much does a thermogun cost?

Never liked the hood. It came with the lamps. The kit I have came from a garage sale

They range just look for infrared red laser thermometer ..severalon Amazon and I bet most auto parts stores although I just ordered mine online. Quality varies I recently got one and compared it to my old stand by gun I paid like 70 bucks for...the new one was -15 degrees off. I know my standby gun is dead on gets my body temp internal at 98..so my old one that's deadon has no features it just takes temp. The shitty one had bells and whistles but not accurate. I love my gun one of the best tools ever bought. No doubt in my mind what temps are in any given area. I know what my variance is so if temps ae x in a given spot I know what it is at canopy floor ceiling and throughout the entire flower room in any spot..in total my temps range through a seven degree spectrum depending on where temp is taken...

If yield is your concern consider a vortex type fan with a carbon filter. Peace
