honestly, they are probably more like 10-12 inches apart... and i mean from the side of the reflector... and they are air cooled... and yea, i guess i am unorthodox, but i also can rely on over a pound from every 3'x3' of tray space...

and im happy to tell you... your wrong on everything... I cool five 1000 watt lights with one 8 inch vortex fan, and I cool another 4000 watts with one 8" Canfan.... and my temps range from 74 - 78 degrees, my RH ranges from 40 - 60, and i keep my lights around 21 - 25 inches above the canopy.... and no bleached leaves.

how would the air circulation be destructive??

But i should mention that my room is under total climate control, but i rarely need the A/C, dehumidifier, humidifier, ect.. but they do click on and off when the meters and gauges tell them to... but most of the time its just the 8" fans and the fresh air intake keeping the room cooled.

This makes no sense. So you're telling me that if I have 1 plant and I'm using 400w, then I should get the same amount as if I have 5 plants under 400w? that doesn't make so much sense imo.

guys its like


who can make the most money kinda thing. if I gave each of you a book and $1000 how much money can you makes per dollar investment?



its tha same thing if you got a 400 watt and are only getting 4 ozs off it. it means you and doing somthing wrong whether it be only having 1 plant or not using nutes or whatever

as they old addage says "Your Doing it Wrong"

why would you purposly try to hurt your yields by using one plant? this gram per watt question is only for growers who are trying to maximize thier yeild to the maximum with the lights they have available.

the one who can get the most grams per watt, it the most skilled grower and non-wasteful grower.

cost and labour mean nothing to me, they are less than 1% of what your profits would be if you sold your yield, the only cost is risking your freedom



you spend $100 for a grow and turn around and make $4,000 off of 1lb

my bad maybe 2% is your cost


but im sure after initial investment, its about 1% cost and the rest 99% is all profit markup



why is everyone so afraid to just state thier grams per watt, we dont want an astrix next to your post, if you dont wanna share then dont. this thread was intended to see what people are averaging not

seeing what excuses you have for not getting better yeilds



its like somone askin you how much money you make, if someone says I make $50 per hour

and they ask "how about you", i dont say $6 per hour, but but but I didnt go to college and I got A.D.D. and my left arm is missing and my city aint hiring right now and my old lady says im impotent and its affecting my work


so keep is simple people or pls dont chime in, i originated this thread back in the day, somhow i ended up with a different username now and I aint changing it back



anyway i know this thread will never work cuz peeps will keep comming in giving me the professor routine

i hear ya on the quality part i missed that in your post it must be easly sellable for top prices

first of all,id like to live where you do if the going price is 4,000 a lb. lol
but to answer your question:
5x5 veg room............................ 400 watt metal helide
sensi grow 2 part for nutes
one squirrel cage for air intake
1- 4 inch vortec for exhaust
8 inch circulting fan in room
light cycle 18-6
all plants are 15-20 inches when transfered to flower room

7x8 flower room
1000 watt hps(hortilux eye bulb)
general hydro nutes 3 part flora series with florilicious and bud bloom
16 inch circulating fan in room
light cycle 12-12

i finish with 6 plants in flower
3 that are indica dominate which had a total dry weight of 411 grams
3 that are 80% sativa which had a dry weight 242 grams

these plants are grown in hempy buckets watered every second day.

actually $4000 was a low figure, $300 per oz x 16 oz's = $4,800


my freind sellsem at $300 a pop whe he has em and they get snapped up right away and people are amazed the price is so low


they turn around and sellem for $400 and even more than that its ridicules


i just just grow to smoke for free but if i run outa weed before harvest is ready or somthing i buy shwag for $70 and oz. i could never throw away that much money on weed.

prices are redicules,


but thats how it is on the east coast

1.375 grams of a 1 watt led dry baby

How is it possible to calculate grams per watt? Do you mean gram per watt per plant? It just doesn't make sense to say gram per watt because that suggests that if i have 1 plant under a 400w light, then i will get the same yield as having 10 plants under the same light. How is it possible? It doesn't make sense but i'd like to hear your logic.
