This tree ends up yielding 2.48 lbs of bud. What makes it even more amazing is that it was an auto-flowering plant. The weight would easily have topped 3 lbs if the buds were at the proper moisture level, or if the plant had been able to finish.

This guy uses a spare room, and a single 600-watt HPS Apollo setup with a UFO hood, then transfers his plants under an 800-watt Black Diamond full spectrum LED to “dense them up” before harvest. He begins with his Royal Queen Auto-Critical seed in rock wool cubes for a strong start.

A different take on airflow than most growers, he uses a mostly closed system. CO2 plays a minor role but isn’t put up to 1,500 ppm. His was on a timer and stayed between 800 to 1200 ppm, and when lights were off dropped down to about 600 ppm. The temperature held steady at 78°F with lights on, instead of increasing the temperature higher with CO2. Even in his tent setups that don’t use CO2, it simply takes the air from inside the house, which has a higher CO2 level due to the air we exhale.

Grow Pot Cheaply has lots of videos on setups, grows, harvests, and even smoke reviews of yields, so you can follow the process from start to finish. We can’t promise you an epic three pounds though.
