estimated yield for DIY LED guys?

If your out to rack up as much weight per watt using led you might want to go with WOS Wild Thai. A haze and a true tropical strain that can tolerate high temps and more Nitrogen than any strain I have ever come across. Really loves the 6500k Cree CXB-3590. World of Seeds offers it in both reg. and fem. Unfortunately after growing it I see it's presence in a too many other strains. Before it came along it was easy to eliminate pheno types based upon low trichome numbers. It is too easy for someone to bump up their strain's trichomes by using WT. All I can say is it is easy to get burned out on that WT lemon taste. I have watered WT with the run off from other plants. Produces a squat dark green plant with leaves that can have either long slender blades or thicker blades..but not to the point of confusing with Indica. When taking down the plant and doing the manicure your eyes will be irritated. Moderate flower time and does really well in coco.....just allow extra room.

If your not getting 1 gram per watt you probably could have been more aggressive with the nutrients.

I am shocked you found a used HLG. I love my light and will never get rid of it.

The guy who bought it literally got caught for growing too many plants LOL! He's in jail and his ex girlfriend is listing his whole setup for major cheap. I got my 550 for less $340!!!! I'm thinking about buying another.

Build it from the pieces they sell. Remember their driver setup is a bit conservative for efficiency. The lights can take more than they suggest.

i just bought a used HLG 550. i have an advanced platinum p300. I'm putting both lights in 4x4 tent. in 5 gal. smart pots. FFOF. blue amnesia xxl autoflowers. advanced nutrient suite (4ml/l) and cal mag (2ml/l). temp steady at 82f. not adding co2, but 6inch inline fan.

IK people say 1g/w is normal, but i think that's bullshit.

anyone with more experience than me that'll give me expected yield?
