What Is the Average? (Grams Per Watt)

In the end, how good is your Bud, how tight are the Nugs, how High do you get, lower small bud is for making Hash and BHO, formulas don't mean anything if the Bud is weak and larfy,, Peace

I dont know how it all works, but for me yield is really dependant on strains running at the time. If I am running 4 Cataract Kush on my 4 plant box, I am not getting 400 grams. If I run 4 Super Skunk I end up with over 400 grams. Routine doesnt change, only the strains.

my last grow, I got 1 lb off of only 2 plants, using 600Watt HPS in a large stand up metal cabinet.
 
I do not harvest everything at once as I am a medical grow. My expectations with yields are different from strain to strain. EXAMPLE! 3-4 OZ MAX On my purple kush / trainwreck. These finish up in about 45-48 days. My hybrids are ATF snowwhite granddaddy purple and these are no less then 4 up to 6oz and take 52-62 days to finish. Lastly the stativa that takes 3 months solid to finish correctly and this is Strawberry cough 6-9oz. Im testing out a Chemdog at the moment and cannot wait to see it flower. I have 12-18 in flower under 2400 watts at all times. Thats all dryed weight.
 
My first grow was with a 400w hps and I yielded approx 46 grams dried, about .115 gpw (Vegged for 3.5 weeks from seed, flowered for 9). I'm praying that I get .5 gpw on this next grow (vegged for approx 7 weeks from seed and flowering for 9-10). I feel that gpw doesn't mean shit since you can veg/flower for x amount of time without it being considered. I feel like anyone could get 1 gpw growing for a year or something, just extending the vegging/flowering times to extremes.

I got .616 gram/watt (22 ounces/1000 watts) on my last grow, which was also my first real grow. I am doing a SCRoG now because that seems to be a good way to optimize yield. Also, my friends yelled at me until I agreed to SCRoG it.
 
My first grow with 600 watt HPS Sog style yielded me about 211 gram dried (=0,3516 g/w). Had some problems with nutes, but anyway is that good for a first timer?

you divide that figure by months spent flowering, (45 days would be 1.5 months)

don't agree with that bench mark, that is the formula though.
