growdiaries low yields reports (lm301B) ??

Hey everyone, Ive been browsing growdiaries which most of you probably already know... I have no idea if this site is legit or not, but I look at yield reports by users and they are quite low always. for example, I constantly see reports of autos and photoperiods yielding somewhere 0.3g - 0.5per Watt out of LED LM301B lights. im a first time grower so, I was under the impression that an LED like that would give somewhere around .75 to 1g per W.

And this is not only on lm301b, but those are the one ive been focusing the most since thats what my lights run (chilled/rappidled puck v2).

And yes, these growers are training (based on the pictures they post)

Am i missing something here? are my yield expectations going to end in egregious dissapointment? lol

Experience is almost as important as your lights. It should be too hard to reach 1g/watt. Maybe not for a first time growers but it's easily achievable if you put the work in.

thanks! thats what I understand that 1g is sort of average, and since im new I sort of thought OK .75 is my goal. but at growdiaries .50 seems to be a freaking holy grail. makes no sense.

IDK, I haven't looked over there in a while. I don't even weigh my plants anymore. I weighed one from my last run but only out of curiosity. I wanted to see what I pulled from a 1 gallon pot.

Unless you're selling, or want bragging rights there's no point to weighing a harvest.

a guy I know has been sponsored by a seed company and has been asked to add his FIRST EVER grow on growdiaries.

So I think a lot of folks over there aren’t quite wet behind the gills yet.
