Ok i just wanted some experienced opinion on what i could yield from my setup as of right now i have about 30-35 females all under a 1000watt 4x4 umbrella. 25 of the girls are in 5 gallon buckets 2 in each and the otheres are in .5 gallon to 1.5 gallon pots. They are all toped to have 4 internodes and they did about 25 days of veg. They have been flowering for since may1.

So whats ya guess on my yield

It sounds like you have a bit too many plants for just a 1000 HPS, so I can't really guress a yield.

this is to many

Hate to tell you, but those plants look terrible.

Iam guessing you started from seed and you have flipped to flower way too early. A real sog is done with Mature Clones.

But you could be having some other issues too. Topping them has also caused alot of stress.

What kind of soil are they in and do you feed them anything ?

i flipped to flowering so early i no at the time they werent were they currently are now and the only way to keep them alive was to 12/12 so they wouldnt be seen and also note that the plants in the orange buckets just hit 1 month of age like today or they will be in a couple days. the ones in the white ben are 3 weeks older. i have flowered from seed b4

You should put them in their own pots IMO

a 4x5 room is perfect, depending on how big they get a realistic grow in soil should be around 1/2gram/watt

This thread is a perfect example of why you should never flower from seed.

It takes weeks of 12/12 lighting before the young seedlings even think about flowering.

A waste of Vegg time...

Sorry but I have to dissagree here. This thread is more so a perfect example of poor care or lack of good neutrients, good soil, not enough containers or simply a new grower that doesnt know better.

Check this link out, Multi-Strain 12/12 from seed... Just scan through the many pictures he has there and his grow isnt done yet but its still rather impressive for ONLY 400W of light.

Totally agree here. Vegging them for 2 weeks or so on large light cycle then switching to 12/12 after that 2 weeks will for sure give you better results. I had played arround with this sort of thing before I was able to set up a veg/mother room allong with my bloom room. Taking clones/cuttings then rooting/growing them for 2 to 3 weeks in the veg room then transfered to the bloom room will not only out do a 12/12 from seed grow but it will give you a total female garden of a phenotype that you already know is good. 2 rooms and learning/knowing how to clone is by far the more superior way, however yes it does require more resources/risk as well.

I just think that from the looks of that 1 picture that theres problems here that could be blamed far easier than the light cycle. The small containers, multiple plants in the same container are very obvious issues. I would also expect that there could be other reasons such as crapy soil or neuts, and a slew of others. This grower would benifit from some webpage and forum research on growing, so do some reading and keep at it..
