Frustrated , with yields !

[Closet Grower]

Ok , I have grown for awhile , I just cant seem to get a decent yield like others on here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I went from a wardrobe where I got 3 oz , to a space that was at least as twice as large ,, STILL got 3 OZ !!!!!!!!! I went to a LST method and still got 3 oz !!!!!!!!!!! I had heaps of little shit underneath which I think sucked the life out of the top buds , so the next LST grow I trimmed some of the understuff off ,, still got 3-4oz !!!!!!!!!!!1 I am talking 4 plants here !

How much shit do I trim off the bottom ? How far does the light penetrate ? I am using a 400 HPS .

I will take some pics of this grow and hopefully someone will show me how much to trim off the bottom I find it hard to cut too much off , maybe thats my problem .

I am trying to grow 6-8 buds per arm on a 4-6 armed plant ,, but I think I am still leaving too much on the underneath , but I do that because I want more bud , but I am thinking that MAYBE the light isnt getting to the underneath stuff . Each bud /branch is about 8inches long BEFORE I put them into head .

Pics will follow .

you want bigger yeild, well get another 400w minimum and your yeild will dramatically increase ... all else being equal and with what youve described

if you want substatally bigger yeild without more watts then i dunno how ... except maybe different strain

pics will give us even greater understanding too

If the variables don't improve the yield it's time to tweak the constants; which in your case is light.

You didn't mention what strain you were growing, some do not deliver a great yield.

What kind of medium are you using? And what's your feeding regime? You should be getting far bigger yields for that light. Also how old is the light you using? because that can make a difference.

[loylty gets u nothing]

yer maybe invest in new bulb

for a 400w 10 oz minimum i find

hell i get 3 oz from 1 plant in 9 ltr pots man

must be strain or as u say the plants energy being sent to lower growth

please some pics would be good

i find a 400w light sits nice and cosy at 30 cm from canopy

all the best

OK , some more details .

I am growing in Perlite in 10 l pots ,, Water by hand about every second day . Strain is Great White Shark x Himalayan Gold at the moment , as has the two last grows . Light is now about a year old .

Some pics .

This is one branch of the plant ,,

This is top view,

This is what I did to the branch in the first pic , to let more light in . Should I do this to the whole plant ? It hurts to cut so much off my baby .

Dope growing and Karma go hand in hand, in my opinion.

It looks revegy and tired. Are you using a fan to strengthen then branches during veg?. Also maybe try another strain. Change to coco...

Yes I am using fans and it is reveged .

But should I trim as shown ????
