Genetics/Yield question. Experienced Growers Help Please!

So i absolutely need to grow 2lbs of some dank. I was looking at hundreds of strains and genetics etc and have came down to a few and i need help picking the winner.

My Setup ( Dimensions - closet grow- 5.5 x 3.5 x 6.4ft )

Veg - 400w cmh with 2 165cfm fans w/ fan controller air will be cycled ever 1min
- was going to do some kind of homemade co2 system with sugar and yeast just for a little experiment to see how it goes.
- Mylar walls of course
- Will be ScrOGing probably to maximize my yeild
Flower - was going to use the preexisting 400w cmh and then add a 250w hps

Planning on doing a right veg no rush so i was thinking a 8 week veg and going to probably top them using Uncle Bens method.

Nutes - Im going to be using Blue Planet yield master series
Soil - not sure what im going to put as my medium but i know im doing soil. If anyone wants to shoot some ideas out in this area thatd be helpful.


The Strain List
1. Mr Nice Seeds - Medicine Man
2. Cali Connection- 818 Headband
3. Emerald Triangle - Super Sour OG
4. Sensi Seeds - Big Bud
5. Mr Nice Seeds - Critical Mass

Ill be ordering from the tude since mr nice doesnt ship to the us but im looking for a great smoke and yield. Yield is very important but its gotta be good enough to enjoy the smoke.

Total Plants i was planning on growing was 5 think its possible

For all of you whom have grown any of these please post your setup and the yield/ smoke report!!! THANKS!

What's your growing medium?

and 2lbs? good luck!

I think you need more light to get your 2 lb mark. Let some of the more experienced growers chime in but I have always heard that if you pull 1 gram per watt your kicking ass. Hope you start a thread when you get the grow going, good luck.

Havent been able to decide on what exactly but a mix of like worm castings, bat guano, coco, perlite, or maybe a FF ocean forest/ light warrior mix

Ya i know that 2 lbs is a stretch but i think it can be done especially if i have optimal ventilation, scrogging, BP nutes, with cmh/ hps mix.

So i think maybe i should add some background im trying to sell 1lb to get enough money for my own apart etc so itll be a one time grow in this setup so im hoping it works out. Any tips or ways of getting me near my goal without making my power bill spike too much but i already know itll be 80$/ mo for me to use up to 2000w for 18hrs/day but thats also including the 133w ea fans and the ballast/hood. And i will without a doubt be making a grow journal

Is the person's who's house you're going to grow in know you are growing?

Look at my grow thread I get 2 pounds oer harvest but I use a 1000 hos and techniques and knowledge

Haha yes of course. Its winter time now and electricity spikes are normal but way into april is a little different but i think a 600w hps system with my current veg 400w cmh i think would work great especially since itll only be for 12hrs a day for flower. Reason being i read that more blue light in the flower makes the flowers tend to be a little shorter and since i have only a 6ft 4in ceiling and scrogging i thought itd work best.

2 pounds for 8 plants? And what techniques because mine will probably be a different approach.

Thanks Bro keep a look out in about a month for a grow journal starting. Im like 98% sure ima do Critical Mass under 400w cmh veg for 6 weeks and an added 600w hps for a 8 week flower and ill be topping and scrogging.
