Hi, I have a budbox 750x750, I have been hand watering in 3 plants in 5 gallon fabric pots, using a screen to grow them flat, I was thinking of changing how I upgrade my system ie auto pots or a Wilma ro get higher yeilds, what do you guys suggest and typical yeilds to expect.

more light / co2... increase yields. improving your methods of growing will reduce time invested per weight of yield, but to get more weight per sq ft, you need more light and the plant can't take more light per day without elevated CO2 -- assumes you do other things well enough to maximize it. was just talkin about this.. ~50g/sq ft is a good goal for ambient co2. can you go over that? sure. can you be under that, sure. And, it may only be due to genetic differences you cannot control even when you do everything perfectly. some people claim 100g/sq ft is possible with co2 and tightly controlled environment.. but liek measuring dicks, some people measure from the taint. Easy to massage the numbers.. simply don't let it dry enough, lol, or just lie.. or include a bunch of larf that no one want's to smoke.... lots of ways people's insecurity can shine through. Growing a known quantity always helps.. a room full of heavy yielding clones with a growth pattern you are familiar with and can maximize with training can go over 50g/sq ft in ambient co2, no problem.

I looked online but I don't see a 750x750 tent size, I do see a 75x75 with varying heights of 100/160/200cm. https://www.budboxgrowtents.com/budbox-pro-grow-tents.htm If that's correct, it's a 2.5x2.5 size tent. The SF2000 is a 200W led grow light. That's about 32W per square foot. That's a good value. You can aim for yields in the range of 10 to 30 grams per square foot. Your tent is 6.25sq ft so 62.5g-187.5g It can be lower and it can be higher then the posed ranges. Hydro growing will increase yields as the nutrition is always on, like force feeding a plant. Keep up good airflow and PH/EC/RH/TEMPS and it will do well. I a big fan of automation. Good Luck!
