Nahh, I'm no where near 3g per watt. I usually figure it by footprint. What is being grown under the light is usually the deciding factor, as everything is always consistent environment/levels. I run HPS and CMH lighting, depending on which building I'm in. I don't think I showed the CMH building on this forum but you likely seen it on my website. I run all my lights at 1100 watts and replace the HPS bulbs every 3rd cycle and CMHs every 6th. So each light is applied to a 16sqft canopy, consisting of 16 plants. Monster Zkittles is one of my best yielders at around 1,700 grams per light, where as Candyland is one of my worst yielders at around 1,200 grams per light. Then on the other hand Monster Zkittles can never break the 30% THC threshold, where as Candyland has tested as high as 36% THC before. As far as issues go, I have no issues, everything is automated and runs perfectly. I just have to keep the dosing pump reservoirs filled up, for the 500 gallon table reservoirs and flush the spin down filters out every week or so. Most of my time in the gardens is spent stripping leaves. I appreciate the confidence in me, thinking I could achieve 3g per watt, but I'm not sure that is possible. I will keep pheno hunting for that super yielder though, you never know, I don't want to let you down ;)

Took me a few years to get green healthy leaves at harvest day with my setup.

I’ll have to learn all over again lol

I might try one, one day. Tried coco for my first grow. Went ok but lots of little mistakes Annoyed me watering them everyday and with a familysoil is much more forgiving in that respect.

One thing that intrigues me is quality.

Does coco produce more weed but of the same quality as soil?

Usually with fruits/veg the bigger they become the more water content there is.

It’s like it’s genetic ability to produce flavour is limited. So the bigger it gets the flavour is just more dispersed within the plant matter.

Something to try myself one day when I have more time to dedicate to growing :)

Isnt coco considered innert, so hydroponic? Peat isnt soil either so should be soiless too. I dont thing think lve ever grown in dirt, sorry soil. Promix hp m is my prefered substrate, people say its soil but is not imo.

Aye true.

I use peat as a main base then add worm castings, organic compost, dolomite lime, rock dust, mycorrhizae and bat guano.

Then feed with liquid organic feeds once soil is depleted. Also a little top dress of EWC during mid flower.

Nothing fancy but does the job! :)

Peat? what is peat, I know of peat fines from coco, a bag of peat/compost from the garden centre and also peat you burn from peat bogs?

I'm never likely to use it but I'd like to know what it is folks mean by peat?

Just answered your own question lol It’s the same stuff you burn I believe. Different types, grades but essentially the same stuff.
