i don't think it is that simple...i'm still a newb, but there are so many variables. The strain, the medium, distance of light from plant, nutes, and many other variables all factor in to the final yeild.

Nutes, time, strain, ph,n, hps bulb quality, watering regime. Too many factors to calculate. Good luck

yes, it's dried/cured weight... it's just an efficiency scale for what you should shoot for with your level of growing experience... a good efficiency target is 1 gram per watt of dried/cured bud; although as stated above, this is dependent on multiple other variables!
