like say you tried to grow a plant 1 plant under a 400 watt


and say it died and that was your first grow, you best gram per watt ratio will be 0


now say u grew 1 plant under a 400watt finished flowered and harvested,

say you end up with a super shitty yield of 3 ozs thats right around say 90 grams


90 grams / 400 watts = 0.225 grams per watt


so after somone learns how to grow I say you should atleast be able to swing 0.5 gram per watt so that would be for a 400 watter you should yield 200 grams at harvest to achieve 0.5 grams per watt

the goal should always be to get 400 grams dry manicured bud from a 400 watt light or 1 gram per watt, then the next goal should be even better

or 600 grams from a 600 watt light


but i think 0.5 is about average maybe

im trying to set goals for ourselves and I also wanna talk to anyone who is getting high gram per watt ratios say like over 1 gram per watt so I can learn from them.

thats really why i made this thread a couple years ago


i guess i shoulda just said so in the first place

may not make sense to you but thats pretty much how it works...

One huge trained plant filling the lit space properly or 50 tiny plants grown in the same area will grow roughly the same amount of weight (assuming you have the proper skills in both types of growing methods)

as long as the canopy size, space, and light are the same than i think you should get a similar amount of herb regardless of plant number.... Im sure one amount of plants is slightly better than another, but it should be close.

Things would be different outdoors, but im talking indoor.

...hey dude, I can give you an idea on how to get more then 1g per watt.

...here is the gist:
...veg? aeroponics "easy cloner" for 1 week after roots are established from cutting, under flos 24/7, 70 - 80f for room temp, 60 - 70f res. temp., humidity 70 - 80%

for bloom:
...light? 600 watt HPS, with double parabolic air cooled hood. technique, using Lucas Formula , 6 inch pots w/ clay pebbles, 3x3 flood bed....fits 48 plants.
...technique? Ebb and flow 3x3 table, clay pebbles in 6inch square pots.
...strain? Sensi seeds, "Big Bud"
...temps? 70f - 80f room, 60f - 70f res.
...humidity? 40 - 60
...should yield approx 15g per plant....or more!

...48 plants X 15g = 720g! (at the minimum)

...these high density, commercial gardens are how your going to achieve more then 1g per watt.

...Indica plants are what you want to grow. Any Indica for the most part. The dense buds and the low leaf to stem ratio makes it all the more possible to stuff as many plants as possible under one light. Good luck.

cool thanks for the info

too bad your led is only 90 watts...

Sorry I didn't see that you said air cooled, in several other threads I totaly defend air cooling.

You'll do much better with Humboldt Nutrients 2 part Amino Acid Chelated nutrients. Cutting edge.

Again, no one is listening, If you get 400 gms in two months from a 400 watt light, that is only .5 gms per watt per month. I have achieved 1.2 gms per watt per month off one 400 watt water cooled HPS vertically hung without reflector inside the cannopy of 4 plants rotating on turntables. I've never seen anybody else do that and I've been around the sceen for decades.

turntables....... sweet deal..........

Sweet jesus that is awesome. Please post a pic....but put head phones on the pot. Turntables, not that is a super rad idea.
