Ive done 10 plants,9,6,7 and know i'm doing 4 plants in 7 gallons the others were in 3 and 4 gal. i have a 10 inch exhaust fan with c02 and window AC. i've used black gold then i changed to all mix now i use fox farm. i use the sugar peak line that earth juice made. I use Housezen garden BudXL, Humboldt gravity hardern, and snow strom ultral. i also own some moab but im not sure if i want 2 use it. i barley got a RO machine, I also use plant success in my soil and i barley started to use bat guano.

What strain are you growing?
How close is your light to the top of the plants?
How tall are they when you go to 12/12 bloom cycle?

If you grow straight up you should look into pruning techniques. The longer you veg the more flowers you will produce, Stop trying all those additives. Pick one line of ferts and follow their instructions. Expensive bottles of additives with catchy names are not necessary to produce good yields. Any well balanced fertilizer with micro nutrients will grow well.

Pick a style of growing that fits your needs and growing area and practice for increased yields. High yields are more related to the growers skill than a bunch of chemicals with fancy labels. it's like the expensive seeds, a good grower will have a great harvest with bagseed and an average grower will have an average harvest regardless of the improved genetics from breeders.

ps.. make sure you're not having light leaks..

simple as someone walking into your grow room in the middle of the night too often will hurt your yields...

What is your veg time and training method?
1 month veg from seed gets me like 2 oz or less.

I also think you may be using more fertilizer than necessary. All you really need are base nutrients and one flower booster (though I don't think flower boosters really do anything if your plant's already getting enough NPK). It appears however, that you have 3 flower boosters (BudXL, Harden, and SnowStorm). Why?
In my experience less is better and overloading your plants just leads to reduced yield.

Topping can also increase your yields, I suggest topping or LST.

What color are the bud hairs in week 4?
