"yield per meter squared" means what?

[glockstar21]

I still don’t know exactly what the seed banks mean when they put in their description of plant yield “per meter squared or M2” is this suggesting that a square meter of the plants will produce up to the suggested yield and if this is the case how many do they figure you can cram into a square meter? Can anyone clear this up? thanks

just imagina a grid box that 1 meter wide and high ( square ) put your plant in there

and voila u got 1 square meter... thats how i see it

Umm...that's actually 1 cube meter (area = HxWxL)
One square meter is just a box ~3 feet x ~3 feet.

They are talking about compressing your plant and selling it like a piece of fabric or paper...

When you are done harvesting no need to cure you send you tree through a paper press and the M2 you get from that process is what you can expect...

I would ask the site you see this on... That is a strange way to measure yield... =]

So there isn't really an exact science to it? Maybe 6-10 plants per square meter, does that sound about right for small to medium plants or 2-3.5 feet tall??

LOL it makes no sense to me man... =]

A square meter is just a little bigger than 3' x 3'. At 1 plant per sq.ft. you would have 9/ sq.meter. And decent spacing. VV

im pretty sure 1 meter squared is 1 meter by 1 meter

it can be one plant or 20 plants in 1 sq meter. depends on your growing technique. they consider this "canopy size". they are referring to 1 sq meter of full canopy.

Mr. FDD2BLK is absolutely correct. The m2 refers to the final canopy or final Christmas tree size. I've always grow many plant bunched together in my 3x3 but I will try just 1 plant this time around. Using a 1000 I should get very nice results.
