is there any truth in this ?

a good grower could get more than 500 grams from a 600w.

1 sativa could take up to 17 weeks to flower.

25 short flowering indicas could be ready in 7 weeks.


other than that, there is no truth.
it doesnt matter how many plants you have, they wont be done untill they are done. and different strains grown at the same time doesnt mean they will all be done the same time.

I wouldn't be worrying about yield on your first grow. I would spend my time learning how to read your plants, practice topping and training techniques. If you learn how to grow the right way yield will take care of itself. I would rather have 100g of great weed than 500g of mediocre weed. That being said; very few growers get huge yields on the first couple of tries. I know I didn't!

yea I guess its possible ..

to get 500G .. some experiance growers can get 1 gram per Watt

17 weeks flowering time .. erm ok .. stavias maybe .. but I would not like to flower a plant inside for 17 weeks .. I could make two runn with some fast indicas in that time ..

plants ready in 7 weeks .. not even Autos can do that I belive .. flowering time maybe ..
but from start to finish atlest 8-9 weeks from seed to haverst .. but not normal plants .. even with a indica with 12/12 from seed would need a bit more to finish ..

If u flower a plant for 17 weeks u will pretty much ruin it, and it will probably turn hermie or just waste the grow. I think u probably have it backwards and its a 17 week veg, I bet if u veg a plant for that long u will get ur 500grams

a sativa can take 12-16 weeks to flower.

Sea of green-flowering clones should be ready in 7-9 weeks(assuming u are using an 8week strain)
Yes you can get the same yeild from a single plant. What I think your friend was trying to say was if you grow one large plant instead of many clones, to get the same yeild you will have to veg the large plant for 4-8 weeks first.
-8 weeks veg time + 8 weeks flower= 16weeks
-put clones straight into flower= 8weeks
Your yeild should be close either way...

I hope this makes sense.....

Lowryder is the quickest auto I know which is 8-9 weeks.

yea ... and I guess Matt is right aswell .. his friend might just have exaggerated it a bit to make his point to his friend ..

I still like it somewher in between .. Im in no hurry .. rather get a nice good yilding end product with out have to keep 20 pots and what work that brings ..

and I consider stavia plants for outdoors .. well it of course depense .. but why grow them when I even like the buss of Indicas more .. need my stoned feeling .. and sleep medicin .. dont need to get more goofy
