Is 2.5 oz. a good yield for a plant?

[Lacedwitgame]

you can hit gpw with even low end LEDs, just not with their stated wattage - use their actual wattage.

So go 4 the biggest freakin led system i can find?

 

[Lacedwitgame]

Just think if you would have used a 5 or 10 gallon pot ???????

I would imagine this bejng a large factor too.

or 1 gallon of coco.....

Or 3 gallon of coco + smart pots.

Like 150 grams from a single 300w led? Still seems like a lofty goal

 

[Lacedwitgame]

These are what i have comming. Just ordered 3 of them. At first i was thinkin it was a smart buy & i was gonna rock shit......now im gettin the feeling ill just be rockin....shit.....lol

1.47gpw on a 139w nextlight mini, http://rollitup.org/t/nextlight-mini-150w-grow.904028/page-5#post-12710944

710w output power each, so if you can hit 1gpw thats 2.1kg or 4.7lbs per run. not too shabby.

 

[HockeyBeard]

Actually.....i was being serious i just invested in 3x 700w mars LED systems because 2 different grow shops advised my yields would be higher...

I'm sorry to hear that bruh. Should have done more research instead of believing marketing hype. MARS is a very sub-par panel that grows herb, but is riddled with problems and uses crap technology.

 

[Lacedwitgame]

Well....the initial reasoning was fir energy conservation & less heat regulation.....

With 3 800w units....ill still be running in comparison of 2x 1000w & 1x 400w......

Im going to hit that damn gram per watt! Lol

 

[Growdict]

my wife is always stealing buds before i get the trimming and weighing done and i am like hey you are messing up my yield. lol.

Shit if I spent 550 bucks on a 139w light it better get those results lol

 

[Lacedwitgame]

Are the mars brand really that sub par? Reason i went with these is because i was reading a thread that stated by a few that these mars system actually out performed the black dog brand...

You're basically comparing a really bad light to an even worse light... yes, you could do worse than Mars. I grew two plants under a Mars 3w reflector series once, got about .5 g/w. It smoked fine, but you could do a lot better. Head to the LED sub-section of the Indoor section... lots to be learned there and you'll be better prepared when you go for your inevitable upgrade down the road.

Lol id like to see a grow journal. No fucken way is that going to happen. Even with a new cob led your never going to get that.

 

[Growdict]

they got a really bad name originally for burnt out diodes, poor customer service and panels that underperformed for what they were saying. i dont know anything about the 1600 except it is much newer and possibly they have improved quality and performance. idk

you can get 1.5lbs out of a 4x4 using 800w of HPS. IF it is actually equal to 800w HPS as they claim then it is possible. and top bin COBS are hitting 1.2-1.5 gpw

Show me!!! I've got 1.4k worth of hid in my 4x4 vert and I'm not hitting that.

 

[Lacedwitgame]

Ill be running 3x 1600 (really 800w) in a 5x10 apollo tent, using a 4x8 flood table. Not sure if i want to run 32x 3 gal pots or 50x 2 gallon pots....

 

[kiwipaulie]

Best I've got was around 0.879 wpg. I'm going to get there @Growdict. One day hopefully
