What Is the Average? (Grams Per Watt)

[Florida Girl]

But basically I want to know what your number of grams per watt is that you are getting so we can get a better understanding of the yeilds people are obtaining and what not.

Please post your average

Also post the strain you are growing as this may effect yeild

I'm not sure how simply asking grams per watt tells you anything without knowing the number of plants being grown. The numbers are obviously going to be higher with more plants.

For example.... I had one plant grown under a 400 watt HPS that yielded over 2 oz. dried and trimmed. So just over 57 grams.... that would make my grams per watt 0.1425. If I had grown 2 plants with the same results my yield would have been 0.285 grams per watt.

I'm just sayin.... I think the question would be worth more if you compared similar numbers of plants.... or just ask for the result of ONE plant in the crop...

i think the point is what setups/skills are required to hit the magic number.. sure if you add more plants it will increase but only to a point.. for instance after my first successful grow on a 4x4 ebb n flo i went out n bought another 1k light to put above it, same plants, same number of plants, but only yielded about another 2 oz because i was already pushing the space requirements for the plants.. now if i would have added another tray under there and even split the plants to give em more room i would have doubled the yield for sure

ok lets revive this thread. i just really wanna know if 1 gram per watt is the gold standard or if people are getting more than that & if they are i need to get there too

This was silly then, and it's silly now. This doesn't TELL YOU ANYTHING about your growing efficiency. It really needs to be in kilowatt hours.

It just doesn't make any sense to even look at it like this.

you are simply wrong my friend everyone knows it roughly takes 2 months to flower.


so my question becomes. how many watts do you use and whats your yeild. assuming ofcoarse that you are shooting for the best yeild

then i can tell you your grams per watt average


every good grower can give you this info.

no big deal if you dont want to share thats your perogitive. this thread is for people who are not worried about sharing thier yeilds.


this exercise is for me and others to gauge to see if we are yeilding as much as we could be. and if not, share ways to increase yeilds and find out what the less yeilders can do to increase thier yields.

like if your gram per average is shitty but your like thats because i only veged for 2 days, then i will say theres your problem for getting shitty yeilds. u feel me. So i wanna know whos getting the best gram per watt regardless, then the person with the best I will ask whats thier methods, because im not concernd with the methods of the shitty gram per watt averagers


so basically as long as you end up with promo grade A bud, i wanna know your yield to watt ratio. I dont care how you got there for now. We will get to that once we have people post. the ones who post that they get the most, then we can investigate if it was cuz they had a sativa strain the flowered for 14 months, but most people the great majority of growers grow 8 week strains give or take.


so pls dont get all upitty an call this thread silly. I can extrapilate the needed information this way and make it easy for people to respond without trying to teach them the Grow room efficiany formula which i am well aware of.

just do a search on grams per watt, you can see that many people share my feelings on the subject.

To each their own, but this information is still pointless. If you want to gather it, it's definitely your pregrogative. I'm not bashing you for asking the question, just pointing out that it's not really pertinent information.

If someone veg's 1 plant for 2 1/2 months and yeilds 8 oz's they would be rated the same as someone who say vegged 10 plants 2 weeks and got 8 oz's. Except one was WAYYYY more efficient.

i understand but the thing is when growing indoors there is a cieling (no pun intended),


u can only grow so much matter under a certain amout of light, whether it be 1 plant veged for 2 months, 100 plants veged for 0 days, or six plants veged untill they are 18" the end result will be filling up the lighted space. the one who does this the best will get the best yeild.

lets keep it simple, so who of you are doing the best?

 

[gardenman]

I grew two ppp [ pure power plant ] clones with nearly 2 weeks veg time in a dwc container and yielded 120 grams with a 400 watt light. So I think that's .33 grams / watt. I'm sure If I would've had more plants I would've yielded more. But that's my stats. ;]

 

[blindbudsmoker]

u have to do grams per watt /time. this is the only true way to tell any thing. the amount of plants, healthy, stressed, or bugs doesnt matter. at the end of a cycle you should be able to say i harvested this much and it took this many days. you have to include veg time with this because the time is thier.

you also need to be able to do a average of 12 months, the idea of getting a gram per watt might be possible if you did a sog with very healthy rooted clones but thats still a pipe dream. hightimes really should have never started that rumor. to get a gram per watt would mean a 4 light room would be putting out over a 100 pounds a year. this is stupid to think possible.

over a yearly average we do some where between .2-.28 on soil rooms and .25-.36 for hydro rooms. this is all on 90 day turn arounds, and hydro at 78 days.

actually i pulled 2 lbs with 1000watts of light vegging 5 plants in DWC for 1 week.

flowering 8 weeks of coarse. and have done it several times, but normally i use 6 plants vegged for about 1 week.

thats 0.9 grams per watt right there.

1 gram per watt is not that hard.


im just wondering how people are getting more than that, and if they are then i need to find out what im doing wrong. thats all.


thats why im not concerned with veg time man, i just want to know who is getting the best yields, i think people who veg for months will not be the ones getting such huge yields anyway cuz I can veg to the same size in about 1 or 2 weeks from clone. so if its taking you months before your plant is big enough to flower specially in the limited space of indoor growing, then u doin it wrong.

like think about it instead of vegging 1 plant forever untill it fills your required area u can instead put more than one in there and fill that area much quiker, and im not talkin about doing a sog either. just maybe like 6 plants grown 5ft tall in a 5'x5'x8' room.


so again, im not asking for comments from the peanut gallery, i just want to know for those who would like to share. how many watts you use and how much is you typical yield.

once I havr this info, and if somone has amazing yeilds for the watts they have I can delve into thier methods and they can tell me if they vegged for 1 year, pissed on thier plants or whatever

I hope someone answers ya brotha. Seems like nobody cares about this useless information. I do understand what you are asking for though. You are trying to determine the maximum yeild "experienced" per light. Regardless of growing method.

It's not really the same as saying Grams/Watt. When you see Grams/Watt it's assumed this is going to be a question of efficiency and it's not. It's a question of Maximum.

To be honest, I would start another thread. Those that open this one are going to be looking for a thread about efficiency and you won't get many responders. Try a new thread and see if you can get some more activity. I'm interested in seeing some of this information as well and I wouldn't mind knowing how people have achievedf their max's from their light(s).

ya maybe your right, oh well cant say I didnt try. im guessing once 1 gram per watt is achieved eveything else is just icing on the cake I guess.

im shooting for 21 ozs from my 600watt grow right now. lets hope i make it.

shooting for 0.98 grams per watt this grow.


i guess ill revive this thread once i have the final numbers.

good luck on increasing your yields everyone.


if someone stumbles across this thread and is getting more than 1 gram per watt, kindly dicuss your set up and methods.

How many plants and how long did you veg to try to get 21oz's from 600watts?

 

[Big P]

How many plants and how long did you veg to try to get 21oz's from 600watts?

I vegged for a good 2 - 2.5 weeks cuz i had to let some weak clones catch up


I flowered when they were like 24" cuz i new this strain does not strech too much into flowering. now the 6 plants are around 5 - 6 foot tall each

all i need is 3.5 ozs per plant to get my 21 ozs and at 5-6ft per plant this should be easy but we will see

last time was my first time growing that strain and i only grew 3 clones that i was gifted and i didnt know they wouldnt strech so much so i flowered them at like 14" - 18" i cant remeber exactly but in the end i dont think they got taller than 3 - 4ft

anyway i only yielded a pityful 10 ozs with my 600watter

so this time, i upgraded my reflector to a huge open air 2ft x 2ft reflector to spread the light better

then i doubled the number of plants to 6 and I also grew them double the size. and also spread them out real nice to take in every drop of light, so im hoping

but if I was growing that greenhouse White Widow man yields would be much better than this stain im growing,

i think its a cross between AK47 X jackflash called CLR (Cherry Lime Ricky)

anyway tho it stonger than the greenhouse white widow as far as its high.

I could be way off and only yield 1 lb but 3.5 ozs per plant at those sizes seems pretty resonable to me.

 

[bushmang]

nice for my first post to be my batting average. i think the way u should post it so that it is easy to understand is how many and what kind of bulbs per harvest. growing technigue might also be beneficial. here is mine

first grow: Roof Addict grow 2mx2m
2x400w HPS + 1x200w HPS / Yield = 600g / SOG in Soil / Gpw = 0.6gpw

2nd grow: 2x2.5m Secret Garden Tents
2x400w HPS + 2x600w HPS / Yield = 1450g / 30 day veg in Soil / Gpw = 0.725 (Had to cut early got mite infested)

3rd grow: 10m2 room
8x600w HPS / 3100g / SOG in NFT / Gpw = 0.64 (Was Learning Hydro and over feed them like a fat whore after sex)

working on a monster now will post a follow up

I have a very similar topic posted in the indoor cultivation section.

https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/191221-what-your-average-yeild-per-2.html

I think I cover the topic a little better ..

thats the truth man Im glad you can see that.... although I am still interested in whats going down with peoples numbers, I heard in the coliseum people are getting 2 grams per watt with optimal conditions... although Im not sure about veg times with those numbers...

hi guys!!! ok ........ i'm gonna pull the stupid card on myself. i read evrything twice but not get n it!! woodn't it matter how many girls you got grow n? so then can you help me and answer this................. 1000 hps afgani strain?

so do u figure ur total grow in or just one plant? g/w
