Gram per watt does not apply
in marijuana grows.
Here, let me teach you something...

.MYTH #1: Comparing grams harvested to watts of light used
is a good indication of an indoor garden's performance.

TRUTH: Just knowing the weight of a harvest and the size of the
lamp used is not enough information to make a useful comparison
and deem how successful a growth cycle was.
All else being equal, a 6 month old plant can generally outperform
a 3 month old plant if all that is compared is the size of the plant
to the size of the lamp, even if the lamp is less efficient once time is
taken into account. A much more useful way to calculate
your success is determining your grams per day. Take the weight
of a harvest and divide it with the number of days grown to find out
how much was produced each day.
Calculating the grams per day for each harvest will allow a
gardener to compare the success of different harvests, even if the
number of days in each cycle is different.

This is true. All shit aside its all about how much you put out to how much you got back at the end of the year . If my business costs 15 grand more per year to run hps.. But I yield 15 more pounds a year by doing so.. And can get fixtures light bulb and ballast for 400 bucks.. There is no argument. It is more profitable . Now if I was an old dude that didn't smoke a lot and was growing in a tent .. Then LEDs might be the way to go from an efficiency stand point . On a large scale, they are a joke

I think everyone should continue to do what works for them. But your not pulling 2-3 pounds from a 5x5 space with 1 light fixture from an LED.. And if you were, that's one expensive fixture

I like gram per watt because if you go by a yearly basis.. The guy who does 5 runs a year spends a hell of a lot more on bills than the grower that only does 3-4 runs . It's all about what works for you. If you look at pounds per year.. I get the same As a badAss consistency grower only getting 1.5 per lamp.. But he did more runs, more Nutes, more dirt , more transplanting , no vacations .. I rather just knock it out of the park every time and then spend that 5th runs bills on vacations

your so close minded. You shouldn't be offering help to anyone with shitty remarks like that. LED is easier to maintain and work under and will give you more light for your money. I hope no one ever takes you seriously!

How are LEDs easier to maintain and work under? And more light for my money I would like this one explained too. For 400 bucks, under a 5x5 space , you can get 2-3 pounds. Link me to the led that can do this

I just think gram per watt is fake is all. One guy is vegging for 3 week with his og and another guy is vegging for 6 with his glue or dream, and then all the sudden he hits the boards say he's smashing it at gram per watt pluss. Even if the both vegged 6 weeks. Guy grows a clone only og and guy does a blue or glue. Nothing is the same. Wont you wife kill you if you only do 3 runs a year? And if you do do 3 runs, your not out performing a guy knocking out 5 runs. Even if you did 2.5 on 9. The guy doing 1.75 is slaughtering you friend. not trying to argue you just need a separate veg room bro.

I have a separate veg room. I can get the numbers with all my Stains we have been over this. I get over 2 with all my strains . Closer to 3 with blue and the dragon . I don't grow the glue. Veg time doesn't matter , I veg 8 weeks but they sit in 1 gallon pots for 5 weeks and I keep them small and ready to go. I have multiple rooms . Multiple different places. i am not married I am
Young and single and can do as I please. I enjoy living life and traveling. This is why the numbers are important to me, lack of runs At each spot. I'm not trying to get in a pissing match with you. What I do is clearly working for me . Really if you want to get down to it mongo it's about how much money you are making every year from each light. So fuck og, you can keep it. I can make over 7racks off 1 light each run with the blue . Ogs aren't coming close to that.

Couldn't you just do 40 a light vegged one week and get over 2 Just as easily with no veg time ? It doesn't matter how long you veg. Like I said , it's all about what works for you. My one spot costs me about 85 a year to run. If i can pull more then that out of there then I am doing something right

I dont understand what you mean by vegging doesn't matter, Its the only thing that matters going into bloom. And no i can't do 40 a lamp. My county has plant counts that i follow.

Is there something you needed help with? The Op does know his plants though I'm pretty sure. Although I've never seen an end finished product of his to verify his quality. I do believe he has experience though.

Nah, I'm good. Just bugs me out how fast these things turn into pissing contests.
