Expected yield NEED ADVICE

Ok so I still fairly new to growing and was wondering a rough estimate on what I could achieve

I was wondering how much I can yield from my setup now I know there are SO many variables you can never tell what will happen but just wondering if it will be possible to achieve the numbers I'm about to say.

So firstly I'll explain my setup and any problems I think might restrict my yeild

So I've come to the conclusion that the number of the plant makes NO difference at all (except changing the veg times) so I will run 4 plants in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent

I will use 2 x 600w hps lights in air cooled hoods

Now my first problem I think I could have is I have the amazon aeroponic system (anyone else try these?) if I am to grow 4 big plants I'm not sure if there will be enough room for the roots as I will aim for at least 5oz a plant and when I get everything dialled in 8oz-10oz a plant so for plants this size do I need to start to think about more roots space as the amazon system has only 50l or 10imperial gallons of space so around 2.5 gallons a plant My research has led my to believe this is way too little of a space for the roots. So Should I built a homemade aeroponics system with more space if this is the case?

Now another thing to note I will be going for potency and will NOT be running high yielding med-low potency strains I will probably run 4 white urkles from og raskal so is all this still achievable without going for strains like bid bud ect.

I have already got every piece of equipment I need for every little detail so I can monitor pH, E.C, temperature, humidty ect.

So I'm wondering if I keep an eye on everything I need to so nothing goes wrong is it quite achievable to get 20oz without to much work and eventually I hope to get 40oz every harvest of WITHOUT using rreally high yielding strains

Only other question I have is how long or I should say how big should I let my plant veg if I want to get 5oz and how big would I need to get 10oz off each plant
Some information I read has lead me to believe I might need to veg for a long long time to get 10oz a plant I mean like 3 1/2 - 4 month now if this is the case I cannot do this and its messing up my whole plan so I really really need peoples advice On veg times / yield ratio

It would be easier for me to use a 2month veg so anyone else who veg's their plant for this long I would greatly appreciate any input and what system and lights do you use for veg because you might use a better system or lights therefore cutting down your veg time so 2 month veg for you might be 3 month veg for me

i'm not in hydro or aero but seems a stretch to expect such large yields in such a small area. and i would be very concerned about a 2-3 month veg period in a tent. again space restrictions. longer veg = larger yields = larger plants

I get on average 500g per 600 watt light. The numbers you are talking, 40 zips is viable, but not in tents...To reach that number you will need a large room and a lot more equipment and lighting. 1 plant = 1 pound = under 1 600 watter. 2 plants = 1 pound = under 1 600 watter...get it? Its not only light that plays a role but square footage dictates yields once you get that far advanced. Good Luck.

Your expected yields are both achievable and accurate for a 2month veg in hydro under 2x 600W, however as mentioned by others you will most likely not have enough room in a 1.5m x 1.5m tent, and you don't mention the height of the tent.
You also will not be able to get the expected yields unless you build the larger homemade aeroponic system.

Are you going to supplement CO2?

Do you have equipment to dial-in and monitor temperature, humidity, etc.?

A longer veg does not always mean larger yields. Just finished a grow and kept the plants shorter than I have in the past and my yield is better than my last 2 grows but there where a lot of other factors that played in. IMO Indica plants are best if you want short plants in smaller spaces and want a high yield. LST or SCROG your plants. With the right strains, conditions and 2X 600w HPS lights I dont think that 2-3 oz per plant is asking too much but 5 oz per plant you will not have the space or light coverage to get that. Look into Cyco Potash and Swell great stuff to make your buds blow up in size.

Your increase in yield can be attributed to your improvement in other aspects of your environment.

If you veg 2 clones in the same exact environment for 2 different periods of time, the plant vegged for longer will always yield more.

Obviously a short veg + ideal environment will yield more than long veg + poor environment, but that doesn't mean you should shorten your veg times and expect higher yields. Shorten your veg time to increase efficiency once you have everything dialed-in to the exact yield/time you want.

There is no way to make a guess on how much yield someone will get. No way at all, it is silly to even attempt it. Way too many things factor into a yield.

No way to make a guess? Anybody can make a guess...

And it's actually easy to estimate expected yield if you know your genetics, light, time, and environment. The more unknown variables, the wider the range, but these plants have been grown millions of time, we've observed enough to make general observations at this point.

Thanx for all the replies so far and althor I know it's very hard to guess a yield but I think you can get an idea of what is possible.

People who are saying that I might not have enough room and I'm sure you know from experience but I have read threads that say 35-40oz in a 1.5x1.5m space isnt too hard to achieve and I had the impression that 2 x 600w is a lot of light for that space so I thought I might be able to manage at least 25-30oz as I will even out the canopy as much as I can so I don't really have much growth underneath but rather all at the same level and nugs should be more dense from that much light right? Or am I wrong so even though the space isnt very big for the numbers I want with this much light I had the impression it should NOT be too hard to acheive with dense buds and I have about 2m height.
Do other people think space could be an issue at 32oz + in a 1.5m x 1.5m x 2m tent

And I will not experiement with co2 yet as I have come to the conclusion that lots of co2 like 1500ppm constantly reduces potency slightly but obviousbly can greatly increase yields in same time and can harvest even a week or 2 early I want to try out co2 properly at a later date. I could be wrong with this information but I have read multiple people's experiences with co2 and this is what they all thought

Anymore advice would be appreciated

So how much space do You think I would need to get 35oz without too much hassle, without using high yielding strains , without lots of co2 etc do you think i might need like ALOT more space or am I just a LITTLE on the small side (space wise) for 35oz + as these are the number I eventually want so I might think of getting a slightly larger tent but DON'T want to if not nessasary and can get these results in 1.5m tent
and do you really think even 30oz in 1.5m x 1.5m x 2m will be difficult bear in mind in using 2 x 600w which should give more dense buds, will provide my plant with cool temperatures and proper airflow so as to all increase my bud density and will be using real qaulity genetics ( og raskal ) I think he has sum real fire seeds but I might be wrong

OGR absolutely has fire genetics. And if you can keep your environment optimal to get those nice dense buds, it's definitely possible to do in your tent.

When people tell you you can't, prove them wrong!

With excellent training to fill the tent completely with an even canopy, I'd believe you could do it.

But it's still something to keep in mind.

Seriouly dude you sound super chill and I loved your inspiring words and gave me confidence (but I won't expect real good result as it will be my first time aswel) and answer that could NOT be more perfect. Just wondering if it was even possible so you have cleared that up that it's achievable if you get everything right
the thing is its all for me not jus saying that haha i would happily smoke my 32oz every 3 or so months

I would probably enjoy smoking with you I enjoy hanging around with any chillers lol I mean I never get worked up or angry or about anything it's much easier to forget about it for most situations anyway hahah
