Pound Per Plant

anyone, from experience how long does achieving a pound per plant take from start to finish..

two ways. one being from seed to harvest, and the other being from clone to harvest with the right strain and everything in tip top shape..

I'm here in so cal..

TIA

For me it is about a 3 month veg. in soil starting from seed (organic). I would think a hydro set up with a big yielder would be a month or more faster.
id agreee, i once grew a big bang for two months, scroged and got just under a lb

We talking indoors? You pretty much have to nail it in veg no matter what your target weight is. If your plants struggle in veg, you'll see weight loss.

You need to run BIG pots starting at 20 and I would go for more like 25-30......Established root systems with a final transplant no closer to flower then 2 weeks!

Strain dependent on that 1 lb indoors is a factor too...........small running strains would not be coaxed enough to make it

this is my aim.. here my next shot at it. depending on how my plants flower this time around I might go another round before I try this..

Outdoors is where I wanna do this.. Might be a stupid question but can this be done in a SS, water only?

and yes I planned on buying 6 20-25 gallon smart pots.

and also I'll be doing this twice a year and mess with photoperiod if need to.

and would lst scrog etc be necessary?

You won't get a healthy 1lb with SS and water only in a 25 gallon pot, it will run low on nutes for sure and yellow out early. Outdoors you will be watering much more so it becomes harder to maintain organic nutrient levels without adding some back. You'll likely need to start feeding within a month or so of getting in the final pots.

edit - at least where I live you water more outdoors, I'm sure it varies by geography.

Fresh cut clone to chop, twenty weeks. This includes an eight week bloom cycle. I'm indoors, in RDWC.

From seed 11-12 weeks total, 3 weeks veg 8-9 weeks flower 1lb is possible with the right genetics
From rooted clone 13-14 weeks total 5 weeks veg 8-9 weeks flower over 1lb is possible

i agree 5-6 plants can do a pound in 7 weeks from rooted clone with no veg time knocks 4-5 weeks off the total time
but some folk like growing big plants or have restrictions on numbers
well where ever numbers are restricted it's usualy something like 6 plants or it's just a flat out illegal state. and if that's the case if your growing one might as well grow 6. Maybe a restriction to the grow area.

Maybe he wants to grow 6 plants that are 1lb each lol
he said he is in cali so i do not think that applies to him
in other countries the count varies
actually that would be the best idea. My friend does that scrod 6 plants and pulls up to 1.5 per in promix

Yeh i see a few folk doing those vertical grows, with a few kw on a few big plants
some of those guys communicate with each other to show their light and plant arrangement with a special code

i am going to do a vertical grow one day just so i can do the naughts and crosses thing, i want to feel like i am part of something special like that

+1 on this post. A PROPERLY mixed super soil or whatever you want to call it will flower the plant through the entire flowering process with just tap/rain water as long as your pot is big enough and you allow root growth in the new pot before flipping. If you have to feed, your pot isnt big enough.

if the shortest time is the goal, he should consider hydro

Exactly! Some people missed the fact that I transplanted into the final finish pot LATE in veg...In maybe a 10G pot (vegging) strain dependent...The new fresh soil should get you there if running an 8-9 week finishing plant (flip to harvest)...

When running Sativa's or longer running cross's - you'll have to do some finish feeding.....with a SS, water only.....

that sounds crazy.. 3 months, TOTAL, for a pound of heaven? if I could do that how. I want a pound per plant not pound per harvest.

but I'd you're serious tell me how. point me in the right direction..
