Just a thought.
One might also say imagine the production it would have done if it had all the available resources. part of it honestly is know the strain your running and know how to read plants. Usually it takes a good 2 runs of the same cutting before you really know the plant well and can push it to the max. One thing I have done and do usually that IDK if its a myth or not, I have heard it for ages as I am sure you have to, but at the VERY end of the cycle, I leave the lights off for 3 days before I chop and stop watering those last days as well. The claim is 3 days of darkness is just the right amount of shock at the end to get the "dying push" so to speak. Also if you dont water before u chop less likely to mold when drying.
