Total yield.
One g/watt requires a really well dialed in environment and a good grower with a lot of experience.
OP, 1gram/watt isn't something one is "supposed" to get. It's just something some people strive for is all. It means per watt, not per plant. You could get 1g/w with one plant, or 12, not each plant.
Also, what type of light do you have? If it's an Amazon-purchased LED, it's likely marketed with a much higher wattage than it actually draws from the wall. Finding out the accurate power draw is the first thing you need to do.
exactly, thats why i was saying most people shouldnt strive for that unless they have done this alot of times. im new myself and am hoping for something even close to that because i know it isnt close to as easy as most people make it sound
I'm sorry. I meant to split up my reply into two parts; one to you, one to OP. Oh well
I have the mars hydro 2000, it real power is about 290 watts. It says 300 but on youtube I've seem readings in the 280's 290's. I really just wanted to no if 1 light would transfer too both plants yeild wise if the light has good coverage. I'm looking for a 2x2 for autoflowers and going to pair it with the mars hydro 600 that pulls 100 watts. The mars hydro sp150 pulls an extra 35 watts
I'm a beginner, my plants dont look to bad right now, the most stress they received was when I topped in veg and defoliated alot. ON the package it says 400-500g per/m2. So if my plant hits 4 feet should I really be getting 500grams. My plant is like 4 inches shy of 3 feet 1 week of flower day 8.

I think your plants look great. Like I said before yield isn’t only dependent on genetics. There’s a lot of factors involved when it comes to final yield. You can kill it all grow and destroy it come dry time and lose weight because you over dried. For a beginner your lighting is fine but for bigger and better yields look into eventually upgrading.

The lighting is going to be his issue imo. My last run I grabbed just under a pound off a single plant. Lost her sister 3 weeks into flower or it would have been more. Under a single HLG 320 Rspec.
What happens to you other one? How did you lose it?

400-500g per/m2 is referring to the canopy area. What it means is that saturating one square meter with strong lighting can yield is much as 400-500g. Like someone else said, that could be one plant or 12 but it's all about canopy area. Your plants look great but trying to hit the breeders max yield takes some experience, genetics and a dialed in environment.

People get hung up on weight all the time!!!
Think of it this way.
If you successfully harvest an ounce. That’s an ounce you haven’t had to buy!!!
If you harvest 2 ounces then That’s 2 ounces you haven’t had to buy.
Last Grow I only grew 2 plants (usually run 4)and ended up with about 200g of dry bud. (Don’t know for sure as I don’t even weigh my harvests any more).
My point is this. You’re goals that you’re expecting are not always going to be exact.
Your only goal when starting a grow is to grow Healthy plants.
If you succeed in growing healthy plants you’ll be happy every harvest time that you make it too!
Yields that you’re quoting are based generally on using either 600W or 1000w HPS setups where breeders have selected their highest producing phenotype for that strain and give it a perfect environment and keep it healthy all the way through the grow cycle.
