Yield and Potency Increase Thread

Dear smokers

Im starting this thread to see all the information i can get on improving yield in anyway.

My first crop was one 1000w HPS bulb over 50 Purple Kush clones grown with only 100% organic fertilizer, flushed twice. Vegged for 2 weeks, flipped lights when plants were about 13 inches tall, final total dried weight around 18 ounces (although i over-dried and the bud was too crispy, lost some good weight).

I want to know now from you any methods to increase yield in any way. For the next show im going to use the same 1000w HPS but i am going to feed with the strongest fertilizers to yield the absolute most i can get.

I need to know what fertilizers to use, what micronutrients to add or foliare spray the increases leaves and internodes, certain pruning or harvest techniques to increase yield and potency, and chemical fertilizer or sugar or anything.

Let me know your thoughts!!

I would say go with AN and then get the best carbs you can find. as to yield more i would try topping every plant? more tops = more wieght

molasses. quickest, easiest, cheapest, and safest way to bump production up. do a side by side wth clones (molasses/no molasses). results will amaze you.

I think I get more yield by not using super strong fertilizers.

the advanced line is a good way to start and another idea would be to add another light and plant in bigger pots because 50 plants under one light have to be in pretty small pots or cups so thus they arent going to get very big. The bigger the pot then the bigger the plant and that means bigger buds as well.

Temperature and humidity have as much to do with yield as anything else......maintaining 76-78f temps during lights on in flower and a 45-50% RH will certainly improve yield........that is of course if these conditions are not already being maintained.

Yeah Iv heard mollasses or sugar increases yield.

never use molasass in hydro tho it will kill the crop




i would use general hydroponics flora series, i yeilded almost 1 lb Big bud strain my first grow with a 400watt hps DWC using GH Flora nutes



my last batch was with 2 600 watt lights yeilded 2 lbs of high quality White Widow dried trimmed and cured

so def man use nutes u need to get better yields for your trouble
