Ridiculously low yield.

These pics are of the grow about 3/4's of the way through. 1000w HPS with AN nutes and Gravity vegged for 2 weeks or so, in peat/verm/perlite with worm castings and mycorhizal fungi. LA confidential was the main strain along with some HDF bagseed. Some plants only yielded 4 grams or so. The large plant not pictured in the back right corner in a 5 gallon dwc yielded 3 ozs. The quality was very good and the gravity made a huge difference in the density of the nugs.

However, the total yield was around 8 ozs. I had 6-7 plants in 2 or 3 gallon containers, about 18-20 in one gallons, 2 in 1 gallon dwc, and 2 in 5 gallon dwc.


A few months ago, I pulled 5 zips off of a 250 in a micro cabinet (see gallery)


WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!?????!!!?!?!??!

maybe the dwc cabby is the difference . possibly the ratio of inert in the medium is not balanced properly .i.e. to much of perlite vermiculite etc . hope you figure it out though . many blessings , hidingtree

Were your roots brown on them plants?

hello man, you said you only vegged them plants for 2 weeks? i am no indoor expert, but is not that too short of a veg time to expect any serious yield from?

Even if he vegged them for a short time, those buds should be a lot bigger, those look like they still had flowering time left in them....

How long were they flowered for?
WHat was the water temps in your setup?
TDS/ppms?
pH?

How often was it checked?

Some thoughts:

- The big plant in the red pail looks wilty.

- Have you grown these strains before? Could be poor genetics.

- Why so many plants? Ton of work, nutes, water, etc..... A couple plants in 5 gal pots, vegged for a month or more, to end up 4 feet tall, would yield more, use less resources, less work, etc.

LUI - 3 plants, 600 w hps, biobizz nutes, homemade coco soil - 21 oz weighed dry at jarring. I doubt I lost an ounce more of weight to curing. LUI is an excellent yielder...again - genetics.

- Bloom time - i'll bet you cut too early. Above mentioned LUIs went average 105 days, but this was in cocosoil, not hydro. Still........

- I would not use AN because they are expensive, the marketing is over the top, hence the prices, and they push too many products. I've used the Super teas but I am 100% happy with Bio Bizz. I use Pre mix dry, Grow, Bloom, Top Max. I just started with Floralicious Plus organic enhancer, and sometimes give a shot of CalMax.

- I just realized you posted this question before in another forum, and you got plenty of help, why did you post this again here?

if you are not leaching your plants every month or so that makes a big difference in yield. i grew 2 of the same clones. 1 of them i leached and the other i did not. the leached plant yield was 3 1/2 oz the other was a crappy 22 grams. i dont know whats up with your yield but if your not leaching give it a try peace BruijnGenetics
