I have pulled in excess of 1 gram per watt with HPS, 1 gram per watt is a pretty good bar to measure success with.
Shitt. They look lovely nugz
As soon as one figures out a way to effectively light ones space with 25-30w per square foot it just gets so much easier cause you only need to do around 2 ounces per square foot which is well within the possible. All of the factors you name are important in any grow for yield, but having a low wattage per square foot which makes 2/w possible is the biggest factor imho.
I use 45w/sqft and sometimes I have to dim it down for more sensitive Indicas. Watts is an inaccurate comparison due to efficiency ratings. You can have 2 lights using the same wattage and one give off way more usable light. I was as skeptic of LED for a long time. These Cool logic pucks made a believer out of me. I pull way more yield than my DE HPS and the quality and denseness is so much better. I don't know if it's the lack of so much radiant heat or the spread on the LED substrate. The difference was substantial.
Youre completely right if you go by 50w per square foot, the whole idea is that you can do the equivalent lighting with 25-30w.
If this is the case how are the 2 light sources any different in actual yield? Look at the bud factory yield, dude veg for 3 months and forgot to mention that being a major factor in their yield. Now look at renfro's garden, huge veg with huge yields and its a different light then the bud factory light. The same equipment are being used other than lights. I see splits all over the place now a days.
Right right already my aunt has a mustache come on baba come on turn back and just read what you wrote before click to post
Ah the little piggies , how they snort n they grunt ....
