What strain? I believe u will achieve that and more. I normally would almost get about 5 pounds from a setup like this but duess to stress I'm throwing a lil under this time but u never know I may surprise myself. 1 gram per watt! I've even seen grows from buddies where they yielding almost a 1 and a half gz. So its definatley possible. I think u can pull up to 2 lbs. What's are your temps like? What nutes are you using? How much space are you working with?

Wow, really great grow going on here man! Im also in a grow tent (8'x8'x7' or something close to that) and have been dealing with some heat issues (got up to 95 on me a couple of times). I went with adjust-a-wing parabolics instead of aircooled hoods (big mistake as far as keeping temps down). But i have been able to decrease room temps (sitting at about 65) which lets me run around 82-84 lights on and 65-67 lights off. Is this a do-able range of temps or am I going to need some sort of ac unit for inside the tent (with winter approaching quickly I should be able to lower room temps a little more as I would like to refrain from purchasing an A/c unit til spring (after a few harvest hopefully). Once again great grow, keep it up!

Thanks for the comments guys. AMK I recomend a small ac for your room it would definately help controll temps in there since you are not air cooling. Plants in the flowering stage love temps to be around 70-75. Remember that due to heat stress these babies will slow down in production. Although 82-84 is not bad you always want the best for your girls and they will give you the best of quality and yields always keeping them were they gotta be. I recomend at least an 8,000 btu for your room keep it on a timer for when your lights are on otherwise you will drop too low when they are sleeping. you can find one of the portables on craigslist used but in good conditions and you wont have to spend as much for now and still mantian your temps down.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. Id be happy to further assist you with any advice you may need.
Hope this helps.

The strains are both hybrids. My temps are about the same as yours, but I let it get a little cooler in the night to piss off the spider mites, as they don't like the cold (from what i've read, it will take the eggs longer to hatch). I'm using all the fox farm nutrients. My space is about 10 x 5. I got plenty of room, because I only have the 5 plants under the 1000 watt. The tallest plant is 30 inches. Hopefully I can still pull in a pound!

I hope to achieve what you can achieve soon!

First things first kuda kill those mites. Hope the info i left on your thread helps you out. Once that mite infestation is gone i dont see why you wont be able to pull at least a pound of those 5 you have more than enough space and lighting so you should be good. I will be following your grow in order to help u out as you get deeper into the game. You may wanna consider another nute program for the next one. They look kind of small to be vegging for 70 days IMO. you need to throw some enhancers in there, for example i vegg using the maxigrow which is my base and the floralicious plus whis is a nutrient booster + i give it the great white shark for roots 2wice a month. not to mention while flowering i blow them up. Sorry but me personaly i have not had great results with the fox farm nutes. Ever since i switched to general hydropincs its been a whole different ball game. Fox farm also has alot of new things theyve come out with since ive used them that i heard were good but ever ince i switched to GH i dont wanna know about anything else exept maybe experimenting with some canna nutes which i have personally senn great results with as well.

Hope this helps

thanks for all the help mega I really appreciate it. imma follow yours and hope i learn lots :D

the spider mite problem is completely under control. i couldn't find any on my 5 plants when i just checked them. the tobacco / soap combo looks like it did the trick. im sure there are eggs though, so ill have to spray next week possibly.

being my first grow, i didn't know I had to feed so early in the veg state. i'm sure that's why they are the size they are. i will check out GH though, especially with all the success you have had.

The yellow plant is how all my plants looked. the green one was fed the day before. i should have fed wayyyy earlier. noob mistake!

also another question for ya. my girls are in 3 gallon pots now. will they be fine? they are all 30 inches tall, and they are entering their 2nd week of flowering.

I usually don't like to mess with them too much when they are flowering but if you really wanted to you can go ahead and upgrade them. I like to put mine in 7-10 gallons. The bigger the pot the bigger the plant. That's the way I see it. Usually once I upgrade them to bigger pots the just stretch and get huge. Note I have done this b4 when my plants were flowering very early kinda like 2 weeks like yourself. They had stretched and gotten nice just try to be gentle. That's what I would recommend.

yeah I noticed that too when i transplanted them from their little 1 gallons. i see you are using the home depot paint buckets. i'm going to pick some of those up since they are so cheap. how big did you make the drainage holes at the bottom?

I actually made pretty big wholes 4 of them to be exact I'd say like the size of a quarter(25cents) probly even a little bigger. That should be good enough for good drainage also always get yourself some good soil or medium as well. I like the old school home depot buckets because they are nice and deep. I'm gonna try to up to at least 10 maybe even 15 if the space permits me. You'll see those coming soon.

Here are a few more pics as promised, they are a couple days old already sorry i haven been able to post earlier. These girls are getting so f-in crystalized its incredible and just oozing with resin as we get closer and closer to harvest by the day. With only 15 to 25 more days left to harvest here they are.

Note i say 15 to 25 days to harvest due to the fact that some ppl like to cut these girls at 60 for the more cloudy thricome look and some like to wait the full 75 when its more mature and gets a lil purple and you have more of an amber thric look. This realy all depends on the high and looks you are looking for.

Im back!!! Sorry for abandoning you guys like that. I have some pics of the crop dried and cured. Not what i expected although the high was intense but i think i may have added to much grandma molasses. Smelled really sweet and tasted too sweet for me and super sticky!!

Smell was a 6
taste was a 7
Buds were nice and dense and filled up nicely had some 14 gram nuggz.

Pics below
