veg size effecting yeild

Now im aware this is a variable question, also matters on strain, lights, nutes, ect...

But if we say there's a constant, such as high yielding strain, also proper nutrition and practices under 1000 waters, how many ladies, at what size would compare to what yeild.

I'm asking because I'm ending my first veg stage, heres some pics, now there about 12-16" high, 14-16" round. This pic was last week but there bushy, I did want to wait a bit longer and pot up from these 5 gallons first,

But I don't want to over and or underestimate them.

I'm uaing general hydroponics 3 part in 5 gallon fox farm ocean forest, potting up to 10-20 gallons, under 2-4 1000 watters, I'm not sure how many lights I'm using yet, I do have them ready to go tho.

I want to let them go until the first, 17 more days, will that be long enough, too long?

What's my best bet?

I have the space for sure...
That pics almost a week old, some are 16" tall, 18 wide...

I was thinking about just doing one or two under each 1000 watt light but I'm clueless how big they should be before I flip em. I'm guessing 24-30".

I'm looking for something like, i should put 4 under 1 light at 18" in 10 gallon pots

1-2 under a light at 24-30" 15 gallon pots

6 under 1 light at 12" 5 gallon pots

Get what I'm saying..? That's just an educated guess, some advice would go along way here guys,

Also, there all hybrids, very indica dominant, 70/30.

Thanks.

Four under one light or six under one light would work fine. If your doing six id go with seven or ten gallon pots, four and id go with 15 gallon. And dont worry, you have way more veg time. Id say a month.

The worst thing that can happen with too long of a veg is that the plants get too big. Big deal, tou have more netting and tieing to do, thats more work but at least you wont be saying damnit, i shoulda vegged longer cause my yield sucks.

Were my guesses right then?

2 plants, 24-30"
4 plants 18-24"
6 plants 12-18"
12 plants 6-12"


I was thinking of only putting 2 under each light, in 20 gallon pots, I'm guessing 24-30". Right?

At the moment, I have 6 that are 15" and 6 that are 5". Which is why I'm trying to decide how I'm going to do this. I have 4000 watts for flower.

I'm guessing I'll just walk in there one day and know, its time...

Well i guess that would depend on how much head room you have, how much they stretch, and if your topping and training them. But ya, your pretty close but id go just a bit bigger just cause you cant have too much right?

The bottom of my reflectors is very close to eight feet at max, they've all been topped very agressivley up to this point, there indica dominant...

Maybe scrog is my answer??? Start feeding them next week, when its half full let them rip..?

I know that, indica's more likely double while Sativa's triple is the info I got... But again, there's more factors than that...

I think I'll just wait until there almost 24" then transplant into 10-20 gallon pots, then flip a week or 6" later... 2-3 under each light,

I imagine my gut will be right, it has been so far, best first grow I've ever seen, I'll be happy with even 3/4 gpw all day! Well see tho...
