i doubt i will get a 1lb of bud from this plant i just cant see that happening BUT that doesnt mean that she isnt capable of actually yielding that amount, ill explain why
the size of my grow space is just to small for this plant which is stupidly big, i can no longer get my light directly above her so im only covering 1 side with growable light, ive already ordered another l.e.d panel but i dont know if it will be here in time to help her flower
looking back on this grow and how i could of maxmized potenial return i would of been better to either lst her quite heavily or to have used a scrog that way i would of been able to keep her low and been able to postion my light directly above her cannopy, hindsight is a wonderfull thing
while im still learning how to grow cannabis this girl is teaching me so much about my current setup and how to do a res change without lifting the plant from 1 bucket to another which is an amazing thing because once i have mastered the perfect res change i can then move onto scrogging autos with hydro which has got to be the next step for me and my evoloution of growing, ill be happy with what ever this girl gives me in return wether it be 5oz or 10oz but the amount of knowledge and experience that i will learn from just growing this 1 plant is worth more to me than anything she produces, i shouldnt really look at grows and think whai i would like to yield but more in the terms of what is this plant going to teach me and what knowledge is she gonna share with me, it sort of like becomes an relationship between the both of you where if she aint happy she will show signs and then its up to you to find out the problem and keep her happy only then will she reward you for doing this
sorry i know that sounds laughable but thats the way i see my growing experience, my own personal journey is to grow plants to their maximum potenial and gain a wealth of knowledge along the way
as for the starting seeds in dwc, i use 1" rockwool cubes to germinate my seeds and then once they have germinated they go straight into my dwc buckets, i always start out with more tnan 1 plant but due to the size they end up i always end up with 1 in the finish purely because of space, if only the uk laws would change and allow uk growers to grow for personal consumption i would be able to expand and really show what autos can do
just for the record im hydro through and through, its the only method ive ever used and dwc is the weapon i chose to grow with and i love it, i honestly could grow tress with dwc with very little effort but unless the laws change ill be sticking with autos for the time being
