    Default why do seed sellers say 500-700 grammes per m2 ?

    Hi guys. Why is it that they say this then you enquire and nobodys yielding anywhere near this amount. I've just got my first grow on and i searched the net for high yielding seeds and i've since spoke to a friend who also grows and he said to ignore it and i'd be lucky if i got 100-120 gr a plant. Can i get some feedback off you's. Is it true, or down to how good/experienced a grower you are ?? Cheers. I've gone for feminized cheese.

    You're mates right, ignore it. Maybe under optimum growing conditions with mature clones in a sog, co2 injectors, perfect lighting, etc, etc, these kind of yeilds might be achievable.
    But they're in the business of selling seeds, so they're not about to tell you it grows a bit branchy, tastes alright and the average grower can expect yeilds of 3 oz per plant after 12 weeks of flowering, they wouldn't sell any.

    you could get a figure around that region with a one plant hydro setup. i suggest you peruse the hydro section if this titbit of info intrigues you! key words to look out for 'recirculating' 'delahaze' 'waterfarm' (you'll figure it out dude )

    this method requires quite a bit of effort and investment though.

    having said that you could still achieve this through soil and say 8 plants in a 1m2 setup, but you'd need to be on top of things completely, it would probably take a couple of practice grows to reach this level. a scrog net could benefit this situation.

    im rambling mate, best thing you could do is read through the diaries until you get some inspiration. a figure like this while mainly put there to entice people to buy the product is not just a pipe dream!

    What they say is what u can possibly get, chronic from serious seeds is 1 of the biggest or was a couple of years ago and my m8 sussed it but still only got 4 oz per plant but in all fairness he only vegged his clones for 2 weeks and flowered for 8 so that is quite good.

    But like Percy grower says , they are trying to sell u something so it is kind of a sales pitch but if u go for the high yielders then u should get something half decent .

    I was always told the 500-600g per m2 thing was for a SoG setup.

    indoors the light you use will determine what you produce sq/m........after you have found a good mum and have good growing conditions and can grow well of course.
    if you're retired or you ain't got a job and you ain't growing and smoking weed ,i don't know what the fuck you are doing!

    hello b.c.f.c..it is basically 4 plants to a m2 so if a plant says 200 gram as yeild then you multiply by four then you have your m2 yeild which equates to yes you guessed lol 800 gram.ps that is in optimum conditions also in other words you have the plant dialed in so to speak.so your friend was on the money mate

    Doesent matter whether its one big plant in a hydro setup yeilding 20oz+, or 20 small plants in a s.o.g yeilding 1oz each? Both the same. And i think definatley acheivable after a bit experience...
    No turn left unstoned..
    ''The problem with pH is that very, very few people have the equipment or wet laboratory skills to measure pH correctly. In hydro, you can achieve "good enough" with common sense and basic meters. But soil pH is an entirely different ballgame. Hydrogen ions attach to soil particles and cannot be removed by simply passing water over the soil''.

    I think we are all forgetting the fact that if you grew outdoor these weights are easily achievable with the right know how. Not everyone has the ambition to find the right spot, and for those people who don't live where it's legal to grow and for those without a license to grow you risk getting your crop taken or going to jail. But if you have a greenhouse or your legal to grow then outdoor these are totally achievable yields. I have seen ridiculously huge plants outdoor.

    They do quote thats indoor yield though blazon.

    I hope to one day achieve these sorts of yields. Plenty of practice needed

    through hightimes, cannabis culture and other pot magazines and numerous different pot documentaries I have noticed a lot of the seed companies these days are developing their strains working on farms and in green houses. Apparently you get high yields from hydro but I've never grown with a table so I don't know. I know there are a lot of indoor ops developing strains as well but this might be where you get the differential between the companies.
