I would avoid purple urkle, personally. I hear it's the slowest growing plant ever, and while the final product is high quality, it yields like shit too.
No reason to grow a slow vegging, low yielding plant when there are plenty of strains that veg quickly and yield high with equal quality

Normally I'd agree Harry. But in today's world of clone only strains, there's a chance it's not really purple urkle, but something that products well, purple's easily, and has a high potency. I oould give it a try for sure, before writing it off.
It could be like my Hindu Kush. Going by bud, effect, taste, and potency it's Hindu Kush. But watching it grow, showed me it's not.

Genuine thanks to everyone for the all the good advice in this thread

It's my little sister's old room, it's pretty big and has it's own big closet. I don't have the exact size but I will get the exact size before making any purchases, but it's around 10x12. Here are some pictures of it right now, the first step should probably be taking all the old shit in there out and repainting it with cheap white paint, right?
Door
The room
My caregiver said he's only been yielding an oz for a plant that's waist high. I'm aiming for better results.

Punch him in the cock and tell him to stop lying to you and/or being the worst grower of all time.
A plant that size should give you at LEAST 6-8oz. At LEAST.

This would depend on plant per square foot. At four plants per square foot, that's a pretty good average yield.

Ok, I can agree with that, but why would you grow it waist high if that's the case? that's way too tall to be effective. If you're planting 4 plants per square foot then the plant should only be a foot to a foot and a half tall at most in my opinion.

Well as long as I get better yields that's what matters.

1 oz from a waist high plant? ask him if it was actually bud or male pollen sack balls

His product is very good, but I will have to ask him why he chooses to get such low yields.

It very well could be his genetics, man. Don't let these guys fool you. I have a strain, that won't produce an oz under 30 inches in sog. But it's potency is off the charts. I'm talking tripping balls high.

Hmm well if it is his genetics then maybe I shouldn't get clones from him. He said he got the seeds form Marc Emery's bank before the bust and he does think it is the real purple urkle strain.

Before making such a statement one should understand genetics better. In most cases the stronger the potency, the lower the yield and the higher the yield the lower the potency is. This isn't always true, tho I have yet to find a plant to break the rule. I have only heard tales of high potency strains with a heavy yield.
Or maybe your caregiver keyed in on bag appeal when picking his genetics. That's seems to happen a lot. Your posted pictures show some heavy purple genetics.
I'd personally get the clones because you seem to enjoy the smoke. And it's not like you couldn't pop some seeds and look for something you like more.

Good thinking, I had a little talk with him and he thinks his low yield was coming from overcrowding which is partly why he just grows for himself now.
When you talk about trading high yield for a high potency how high are the yields for a high quality plant? If I got 4-8oz a plant with 12 plants I'd be more than happy.

Wouldnt you need like 3000 watts to grow 12 plants around 6oz each?

Lets put it this way. 1 pound per 1000watts is par for the course.
