Here is a quick overview of this article: Maximum indoor yield Yield in ounces Yield in grams Maximum yield per plant Maximum outdoor yield The difference between wet and dry weed What is the Maximum indoor yield? Posted: August 04, Categories: Marijuana Growing Beginner. Author: Ramon van Wanrooij. October September August July June May April March February If you want the highest yield, consider growing your cannabis plant outdoors.
Pros of growing outdoors: 1 sunshine is the best light; no indoor light can compare to the complete, full spectrum and power of our Sun, 2 no need for extra equipment-- just sunshine, good soil, and water. Okay so, outdoor can yield more than growing indoors due to relative space and lighting but indoors promises a more consistent yield if you have the space dialed in but, what about autoflowers?
Autoflowering cannabis plants are often dissed because they stay compact and therefore, their yields are lower than their photoperiod cannabis cousins.
But, autoflowers have a much shorter growing cycle so that means that you get more harvests. Being faster and easier to grow, autoflowering cannabis has the potential of delivering high yields, or at least comparative yields, in the same growing year as their photoperiod counterparts.
In the time it takes a single outdoor plant to mature over a spring and summer and be ready to harvest in the fall, a grower could pull down three harvests of autoflowers. So, if you only have space to grow one plant at a time, an autoflowering cannabis plant might be the better choice to maximize yield. Humans and cannabis have co-evolved. Humans have hand selected the strains that we have today because of the qualities these strains carry. Whether you plan to grow your marijuana indoors or outdoors, the quality of your genetics — whether they are seeds or clones-- will greatly impact the quality and quantity of your harvest.
In another, more dramatic example, some outdoor plants have the potential to produce a 6-pound harvest, while others will never go past 2 pounds. If you are seeking the highest yield, it helps to select genetics with the highest yield potential. It would be unrealistic to expect a beginner grower to get the same yield per plant as an experienced one. Yield increasing skills such as pruning and training take time to master.
Therefore, those new to growing marijuana should always expect yields that are slightly lower than the absolute best. As your experience increases, your yield will as well! There are many advanced techniques that you can try to increase the yield of your plants. A popular one is scrogging or Sc reen O f G reen. This technique can dramatically improve the yield in indoor gardens. The scrogging method involves placing a net or screen just above your marijuana plants.
As soon as a branch grows over that net by four inches, bend that branch onto the net and tie it so that it grows sideways instead of vertically. This training will eventually form a level, green canopy that will yield firm and juicy buds.
Scrogging is an advanced technique because it places stress on marijuana plants. In the same vein, Low Stress Training or LST is useful to increase her space, develop more of a bu shy plant, and increase your yield. LST can have a big impact with a little bit of work. Just starting out, a grower can start small and just gently tug or twist on her branches. This is the plant equivalent of a human going to the gym. The stronger the plant's foundation, the more weight she'll be able to carry when she starts to bud.
A little goes a long way. You can use cages, nets, pipe cleaners, or just jute string to LST your cannabis plant. LST is also a pruning technique that can be done on autoflowers! Just once! If you are looking to maximize how many harvests you can have a year, consider autoflowers because they have a shorter lifespan.
A single marijuana plant grown indoors under ideal conditions and under a watt HPS with correct scrogging can produce a pound of dried weed! A single marijuana plant grown outside under ideal conditions can produce even more. The female cannabis plant is the only producer of flowers buds and seeds. A female cannabis plant will only produce seeds if she comes in contact with the pollen of a male cannabis plant. If a plant gets seeded, she will lose potency. Finally, plants should be frequently inspected for pests particularly spider mites and mold.
They can turn a small yield into no yield at all. Growing Indoors Are you growing in soil or in a hydroponic medium? Johnny Baldwin posts 0 comments.

Instead, the spectrum is more important.
If anybody has some results, please share them in the comments. This will cause the plant to evaporate less water, changing the water and nutrient requirements for growers. But these figures do not cover the cost of producing weed. You need to buy equipment, nutrients and keep an eye on the electricity and water costs. Below are some estimates; read my article on costs and revenues for more details.
Time your harvest right so you can maximize your yields with my free mini Harvesting Guide. The basic equipment like filters, timers, and exhaust fans are very expensive.
Again, learn more about the revenues and costs of growing marijuana on my blog. If you want to grow a one pound marijuana plant, you need a 4 x 4 foot grow tent or other similar sized space, and a — watt HPS grow light. Under ideal circumstances, a watt light can produce well over a pound of cannabis. If you limit your grow to just one plant, it can produce over a pound of weed. You have to prune and trim your plant a lot otherwise it will grow through the ceiling.
Scrogging is the way to go to cover 10 square feet with one plant. Growing a one-pounder is a fun project, but there are some downsides. You need to veg the plant for very long until the entire floor is covered with leaves, so no light goes to waste. Want to feature your 1-pounder indoor plant on our blog? Send me a picture! In some cases, you can even grow a pound per plant. You can predict your yield with a calculator or wait and weigh it after the harvest.
Yes, there are other techniques that can increase optimal yield. Read this article to learn more. You can try a variety of plant training techniques such as scrogging as well some other tips mentioned in this article. Your final yield depends on a variety of factors; too many to develop a reliable equation. The estimates in my article are the best-case scenarios for the average or beginner grower.
