First Time Grow - Looking Good But What Do I Know

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Any guesses on the yield? Still have 4 weeks left give or take.

Thank you for the question, but I have no idea how to estimate harvest. By the looks of it, she will give a lot

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Lol thanks I have heard a lot of different estimates on what a single plant should produce just trying to make sure I'm doing as well as I think I am.

Any guesses on the yield? Still have 4 weeks left give or take.

Bear in mind that in the contests I've participated in I haven't even come close to guessing the actual yield. But just for fun here is how I do it.

Main top cola = 8 gr
other colas on top = 4 gr
side buds = 2 gr

I see about 5-6 colas around the main cola and at least a dozen on side: 8 + 6*4 + 12*2 = 56 grams. That seems low to me.
Then I adjust for other things I know about plant. Is strain a high or lower than average yielder. Problems during grow. And last but not least, does she look happy. She makes me happy looking at her and I see no problems so add 15%: 56*1.15 = 64 grams.
That still seems low, so I make up other adjustments until I get a number I like.
Then I look at what everyone else is guessing and add 1 to someone else's guess.
So my guess is 65 grams, about 2.25 oz.

Since I'm the only one entered so far I may actually win this one. If I don't I hope I'm low. I usually am.

Lol well I think you'll be close I just figured if she doubles in weight then ill have around 2 oz so I like your number better

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Just a quick update. Going really well nice and frosty and swelling quickly. Almost done week 4 flower. 4 weeks left

 

[AngryBird]

Makes me want to cry lol my timer took a shit and I got 30 min extra light 5-6 days ago. Is this the result? What do i do now

 

[AngryBird]

sweetie, I know how yo feel, but, It takes more than 30 min once to make a hermi, and yes, take one and look for:
stem on the outside of "ball"
Press it ..feel anything inside? pick one that you feel has something, press and see.

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

Not sure but it looks like petals...

 

[AngryBird]

Hairs like pistills? no seeds = no male

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

It just breaks apart into little pieces there doesn't seem to be anything inside them

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

No hairs looks like an under developed flower but I'm no expert lol

 

[AngryBird]

That is what it looked like to me too, you can gently squeeze the other too and see. Does she have any other ones on her?

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

This is the best picture I can get with my phone

 

[GrowrLvlNoob]

I took off a total of 7 but that's all I can find and it was only on popcorn branches. I removed them all and will pay close attention to her/him/it lol moving forward. Thanks for all your help and insight

 

[AngryBird]

I try to help where I can. I am not saying it is hermi/male, only IF it is you need to check for more growth in a few days/week.
But i still believe the first yo took was a calyx. They were all at bottom of plant? nothing on upper part?
