How many total weeks from seed to harvest, and what expected yield (DWC v soil)

so im considering getting a 5x5 gorilla grow tent, and using a DWC or RDWC system with 4 plants. under a 1000w light. but im not 100% set on it yet, but starting to pin point exactly what i'm wanting for my first grow. So i have a few questions to get answered.

in the following questions, many of them are the same, but image a room with adverage temp, air, nuets, for an adverage hybrid strain

for the sake of the post, lets assume we are using the following strain:

Bianca Feminized seeds
THC LevelUp to 25%
Indica / SativaIndica 85% | Sativa 15%
Yield indoorUp to 525 gram / 18.5 ounces per sq meter
Yield outdoorUp to 550 gram / 18.5 ounces per plant
Height indoorUp to 90 cm / 35 inch
Height outdoorUp to 220 cm / 87 inch
Flowering time6 to 8 weeks
Harvest monthSeptember / October
Grow difficultyEasy to grow

In each question im wondering two answers, how long will it take from seed to harvest, and what the expected yield of dry would be.

1) How many total weeks would it take for an average strain hybrid, to go from seed to harvest, using 4 plants in a DWC in a 5x5 room, under a 1000w light (switching MH and HPS bulbs for veg and flowering)? What's the expected dry yield?

2) same question as number 1, but in RDWC?

3) same question as number 1, but in soil?

4) same question as number 1, but in a 4x4 room?

5) same question as number 4, but in RDWC?

6) same question as number 4, but in soil?

7) same question as number 1, but in a 4x4 room under a 600w light?

8) same question as number 7, but in RDWC?

9) same question as number 7, but in soil?


sorry for nearly the same repetative question, but i been searching for this answer on forums, and google, and couldnt get a straight forward answer, and other peoples threads have different room setups then i am looking towards, so i figured i would ask the question giving more detail of what i am thinking.

What you're not factoring in here is your general lack of experience.... Try soil first then move on to advanced techniques.... Yield is directly proportional to many things, such as, Genetics, Experience, and knowledge of the strain.... Too many things to list...

Get a grasp on growing, then worry about yield...

i appreciate the reasonable answer.

EDIT: i did have a big post on this , but i decided to edit it, i was pretty much saying i just wanted to see numbers, itself.

but okay, ill take your recommendation.

how longer will it take and expected yield using 4 plants using soil, inside a..
4x4 gorilla grow, 600w light?
4x4 gorilla grow, 1000w light?
5x5 tent gorilla grow 1000w light?

(using the genetric strain listed on the post below here)

ill edit my first post to include this for the genetics.. but so we all are on the same level playing field of genetics. lets say for example this strain.

Bianca Feminized seeds
THC LevelUp to 25%
Indica / SativaIndica 85% | Sativa 15%
Yield indoorUp to 525 gram / 18.5 ounces per sq meter
Yield outdoorUp to 550 gram / 18.5 ounces per plant
Height indoorUp to 90 cm / 35 inch
Height outdoorUp to 220 cm / 87 inch
Flowering time6 to 8 weeks
Harvest monthSeptember / October
Grow difficultyEasy to grow

Man how longs a piece of string? Your first grow in soil indoors, expect a low yield, and if you just happen to get it right you'll be surprised with your result. Use the kiss method (keep it simple stupid)
The good thing with indoors is you control flower time. I'd suggest you get a good guide on growing and read it a couple of times. I grow outdoors so my growing season is 5-7 months yours can be as little as 4 months if you have clones less, but that's all up to how big you want your plants/buds. If you have a indica usually it's about 8-10 weeks depending on strain, sativas are a different story and flowering time is usually a bit longer. But seriously as far as yield goes I'd give it a season or two before you get any sort of expectation of weight/yield.

And the yield quotes on those seed sites is bullshit.
You'd have to be a master grower to get anywhere close to those numbers, which I am not.
Forget the hype and just get a grow under yet belt.
By the way just a hint indicas are easier to grow.

what if its hydroponic not soil? lol

but thanks for the input.

I personally would do soil on my first grow so you have a basic understanding of the botany and lifecycle, then move on toore advanced techniques. But that's only a suggestion, it's your grow man, I am only offering a bit of advice based on my limited experience. I got lucky my first grow and had good results, my second grow was a fucking disaster because I was cocky and wouldn't listen to anyone because I knew it all. but like I said its your grow and do it the way you want, there's some great growers that are encyclopaedic in their knowledge and will freely give you information if your willing to take it on board. This is only my third grow so I'm not a pro by any stretch, just a backyard grower trying to learn how to do it the right way.

For your first grow, I would go with six plants, vegging for 6 weeks. If you can get a 0.4-0.6 gram per watt on your first grow, you'd have a good start.

ok thanks bro, i will do that, im conviced ill do soil.. figure i should humble myself and listen to people on this forum, after all ill be surrounded by y'all for a while. also, it just hit me.. not only soil gives more time for forgiveness, im also able to soak up the knowledge more on each stage of the plant because of the slower grow rate, thus being a greater investment of knowledge. kind of like taking a course in college for 1 semester 3 weeks (like a maymester/wintemester), vsing taking that same course in a full semester, you get the same information, but with the longer course your able to soak up the knowledge much more better. sure, which is better can be debated, but for someone who wants to learn about it, and doesn't know much, the longer semester course is much better option compared to the wintermester course.

guess that leaves me with asking, what do you recommend 5x5 tent or 4x4 tent? and what type of light setup (no LED).. 1000w, or 600w? or a mixture like 400w and 600w?.. idk tell me what you think i should do for the best lighting for my plants

ya i will do soil.. i might do that 6 plant setup. do you recommend me using a 5x5 tent, compared to a 4x4?
also what do you recommend for the light setup? one 1000w using MH for veg, and HPS bulb for flower, or 600w, and some CFL hanging down random spots, or anything else , how exactly would you set the lighting up for the plants? (no LED please)
