Week 5 of Flower - Thoughts or Yield Estimates?

I'm in the middle of week 5 of flower. I have two Acapulco Gold, two Amnesia Haze, and two Critical CBD all in 3 gallon fabric pots in a 4x4 tent. They're in nectar of the gods soil and getting 15ml Botanicare Bloom, 3ml CalMag, and 1/4 tsp flower fuel per gallon. Next week I'll start adding 2ml Bloombastic per gallon as well. They're under four Mars Hydro 300s and one ViparSpectra 450. I defoliated, lollipopped, and did LST all through the veg stage and into the third week of flower.
Thoughts?
Yield Estmates?

Looking nice, rydin, I'd say 6ozs dry, is a good guess, maybe 8, even more, when they done, the last 2-3weeks, they really put on the weight, I hope you get all you need, though.
Pretty plants.
 
My last grow was 5 plants and I got just over 10oz so I'd be dissapointed with 6-8oz on 6 plants. Are the Mars lights a hold back here? I was going to go with four 55w cobs to replace them but that's nearly 1/3 the wattage of the Mars lights so I didn't think that would make sense.
 
Adding extra plants does not necessarily lead to extra yeilds. Better Utilization of space and light can though. Yeild is mostly a factor of environment and genetics.
Just looking and guessing, they seem like 1 oz plants to me right now. Hence my 6 oz guess. Keep in mind this is cured & trimmed trophy nuggets I am talking here. I wouldn’t count the larf as yeild until it is made into hash. Lol

What about mine? They are in week 5 at 12-12 light cycle

temp: 30-31
RH: 52-58
Power: 660 watt average(4 weeks 600watt + 1 week 900 watt)
Area: 0.6m×1.2

Utopia Haze and blueberry

600w - 900w HPS?
And is that 1 plant or 2 in there? A few more pictures that show the entire flower space would be helpful.
 
They are (2) 600 watt lights. For 1st 4 weeks of flowering i had dimmed them at 50%. I'm planning to run them at 75% for 2 weeks then i switch back to 50% again or i replace HPS with MH without lowering wattage. Haven't decided yet. Any suggestion?

I added 1 more pic showing entire footprint.
Blueberry was slightly taller so i kept her under MH more than Utopia. Now they each receive 75% of one 600 watt HPS; 900w total.

I never suggest running the HPS or MH dimmed. This can shorten the bulb life span. It can also cause an altered spectrum. If the bulbs are made for plants, the best spectrum will come at the rated wattage for the bulb.
My guess would be 4-5 ozs of trophy buds total. They look like 2-2.5 ozs per plant.

No idea Iammygod. Im not experienced enough to gauge that yet. I too have had recent questions regarding weight. Have a look at my post. Some bud is dense and heavy while some can have a large volume but is very light.
 
Hum!!! I feel an small change but a big difference. And I think you was right Toker1
what do you think now? Got better? Tent is 1.0×1.0m2 and the HPS is running at it full rate 600w.

still 2-2.5 oz per plant?

Exactly. 2 plants in a one square meter under 600 watt and the light is running at its full rate.

Let me show you more pics and ask your idea again. I want you to guess the weight please. I know its hard to guess but you try to guess please.
