so , here i am .. ive recently harvested GDP . Well the question i got . What is everyone getting off this plant (indoors please) ? It was only 1 plant . I only received 3.7 ounces . Yes that was after a dry and now curing . I do understand that you lose around 70% during your hanging process .. so just kinda wondering. Did I goof somewhere or is that about right for a single plant ? The pic prior to 3 days of darkness .

How is 3.7 oz from a single plant a failure? Could you have done better? Absolutely! You could have trained the plant a bit better but it looks pretty good; nice green and healthy. Don’t bother to weigh it wet; wait until the buds are dry and have been curing for a week to determine final dry weight. Wattage is what governs yields more than anything else; the other factor is experience. Learn about super and monster cropping, scrog and other methods of LST-ing if max yields are your goal. If you’ve got adequate lighting than your plant training game is what your focus should be. 3 oz per plant is better than a sharp stick in the eye; but there’s always room for improvement.
A measure of efficiency is the old 1g per watt which I will admit I don’t think I have ever achieved personally. So if let’s say you have a 400w light and you got 3.7 oz...28g per Oz x 3.7 = 103.6g Your grow would be considered about 25% efficient; you could yield out a potential 75% more dry weight if you train the plant out to cover every square inch of available grow space under your light.

It looks good, 3.7 Oz isn't bad at all. If you would of topped and scrogged it then all of those lower branches would look like the main one.
