aiming for my first pound grow

My last grow consisted of six Bubba Kush clones in a 4x4 walk-in closet. I started them in 1 gallon air-pots in coco and soil at about a 9:1 ratio. I used dry mykos pretty liberally at the base of where each plant was transplanted into. I vegged them under 400w hps for 7 days, then put my light at full power which was 600w for another 7 days. The light was on a schedule of 24/0. I used CNS17 Grow and molasses with about a teaspoon of epsom salts each time. I also foliar fed with a tiny amount of the grow once a day.
To transition them into flower I gave them 48 hours of absolute darkness. At the end of this my timers were set at 12/12 for another 7 weeks at 600w hps. For the last 10 days I switched the light down to 11 on, 13 off. Then gave them three days of absolute darkness and chopped. I used CNS17 Bloom for the majority of flower ending the last couple weeks or so with CNS17 Ripe. I added a small amount of molasses and epsom salts to most waterings. During this grow I didn't experience any visible nutrient deficiencies, but it was due to me growing the same strain before and doing disastrously lol. Always learn from your mistakes! I yielded 9 ounces dried and cured from those six plants in that grow.
This time around, I am applying what I learned from the last grow on top of my others. I am convinced I can yield close to 2 ounces per plant this next time around using the same strain, light, and time. I want to add Cannaboost on top of the CNS17 line. I know CNS17 is cheap but the nug I grew with it was absolutely crazy! The clones have some badass genetics, but I feel like I did the strain true justice. But after seeing how well cheap nutrients done right can perform, I'm kind of on the fence about spending so much on a product like Cannaboost. But if it works as good as a lot of people say it'll be well worth it.
I'm going to grow 9 plants in 1 gallon airpots, in a 4'x4' painter's booth in a residential garage. I want to line the whole inside with mylar because I didn't use anything to enhance the reflectivity of the walls in my last grow, and know how much more energy I could've given to my little babehs. I like to water every single day, I heard that was coco's strength so I like to play on strengths. However, last time I watered once a day, and I would like to rig up a watering system this time to water twice daily.
After getting about 1.5 oz per plant last time, making these changes I'm really hoping for a pound harvest. :) Something else I haven't utilized is added CO2. I just can't get myself to take the plunge on a legit CO2 system just yet. Does anyone else here grow in coco on a 10-11 week grow cycle and get the results I'm looking for?
 
After reading your post.. I'm assuming you had lock outs due to too much nutrients. This is a big mistake with new grower . If you are growing in soil don't feed more than a quarter strength every second or third feeding . Find a good ppm and ph meter and watch your run off closely . Good luck.
 
No I didn't buy a ppm or ph meter until after this last one so I went by experience with the strain and gauged how much nutrients I could use before burn. I only used a one part formula throughout the entire grow switching the nutrient based on the growth stage it was in. The only additive was two teaspoons molasses almost every watering and a teaspoon of Epsom salts a few times a week for the mag.

i hate reading huge posts
 
I'm going to add silica at 2ml a gallon this next time too. Going to add it to the plain water then wait about ten to fifteen minutes for it to mix into the water before adding my nutrients.
 
My veg I used 15ml grow per gallon with the two tsp molasses, bloom I did same dosage but with cns bloom and started adding the teaspoon of Epsom salts. Molasses has trace nutrients containing both cal and mag, and Epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, so by using the two together I basically made way cheaper cal mag. I dosed the cns ripe at 10ml a gallon instead of the 15ml recommended because the grow before it burned the shit out of my plants.
