gram per watt?

optimal conditions, with a high yielding strain and an extreme knowledge of said strain could potentially get you there.
Realistically, chances are, FUCK NO. It would be alot of hard work, lots of time, and probably a decent chunk of moolah just to get in the ballpark.
On average, if your hitting .5 grams per watt your doing pretty good

Personally I think it is well achievable. My last grow, 2 plants, 2x2x4 room, 400w Hps, 360 gram dried manicured bud. One known strain AK47, the other unknown. The AK was the majority of the weight, the other was lite and fluffy apart from the main cola which was ok/pretty good. So perhaps if id grown 2 AK's I could have cracked a pound...448grams. So yeah I reckon it is very possible with previous experience of the strain and a controled climate.
Experience my friend, we can all do with more of that

yes, research until your brain can't hold any more info, and then start writing down what you can't remember
the magic formula is knowing enough to get things as close to nature as possible
nothing we have time or patience to type here will even get you started

you can pull up to 2.5gpw if you have the right setup, strain, and knowledge.

so,when you say the RIGHT set-up, could you elaborate? thanks

killing fields and plenty of other strains will get more than a gram per watt, just look up strains that yield up to 600 g/m^2.

running vertical bare bulbs in a colisseum or stadium grow. you use almost twice as much surface area to grow than in a horizontal setup. something like this setup (https://www.rollitup.org/hydroponics-aeroponics/149998-heaths-flooded-tube-vertical.html). i think heath got 2.25 out of that one.
as far as horizontal lighting setups. strain does play a big part...but you need to have your environment, plant layout,growing method, medium, and nutrients dialed in to achieve those yields. it is based on a number of factors and not just your strain.

2.5 gpw is achievable with most factors dialed in; light/sq.ft, genetics, environment, and nutrition. Once all these factors have been optimized to work together very high yields are attainable, now that being said most home growers do not have/want to put out a high sum of money upfront for unknown returns.
IMHO a small home grow can be considered highly successful at about 0.6 gpw - 0.85 gpw, I like to gauge my harvests yearly; I am able to pull about 3 harvests annually and usually mix it up with at SoG/SCRoG and sometimes a straight up mixed bush grow.

some people on here say no some people say yes. hope i get the gram. its in a 54x54in tent with 1000watt hps and 2 t5's feeding them hollands seceret with bloombastic and just got a tea maker and going to add tea today. i have spent more 4000$ on setup so far. i have co2 and a setinel controller keeping the co2 at 1450 ppm i feed 3 times a day for 15min but thinking about trying 4 times for 10min because one of the plants is sagging its leaves. have it on an ebb and flow system with hydroton. just got a 1hp water chiller to maintain 69 degree nutrient temp. this is only my 3rd grow using the ebb and flow and still a little new to the whole hydro thing. cant wait today is 2 weeks on 12 and 12...

With a setup like this you should achieve your goal without any doubt as long you have a productive strain

run your nutrient solution a little cooler. i find that 66 degrees works better and also helps to prevent algae and slime issues.

i dropped alot of bills with my setup and i still cant even get close. ive seen ALOT of grows, and i have yet to seen a grow where someone AVERAGES 2+_ per thousand watt. and 2.2ps would be a gram per watt.. im not saying its not doable, but with a BIG setup, it is unlikely. i think if you only had 1 thousand watt or a 600 that you could achieve it.
when anyone says they get a gram per watt everytime.. they are either a pro, or a liar.

too true or they go lucky. the truth is a lot goes into pulling over a gram per watt hell i only pull i think 1.5 in my setup and thats if everything is going good. if everything was perfect the whole way i could see 2 grams per watt, but i cant imagine how one would maintain a perfect environment for thst long. IMO anything around .75 gram per watt and up is good.

unless you are running a vertical bare bulb (which i don't think you are) you aren't pulling 1.5 or 2gpw. think you are calculating wrong.
plenty of guys pull 1gpw consistantly. granted they do tend to be on "smaller" grows. the easiest way to do it on a regular basis is with technique (i.e. SCROG or SOG) and since these tend to only be used by smaller scale growers then that is why you don't see many commercial grows actually doing it. people tend to forget that the larger a grow op is the more wasted space you normally have.

wordd... most people dont have the balls to do 30 lights with 30 plants per light lol. its hard to pull a gpw off something with only 6 plants under a 1k. damn near need 6 zones a plant

sog scoob. 32 plants under 1000wattsof light, roughly. 4 at a time 1-2 weeks apart. 8 rows, 8 weeks flowering time. 1oz-3oz per plant. 2-3 rooting/veg time.
its a pretty small setup,but most everything is automated now.
horizontal grow, but i learne light intensity when i was a padawan grower i got it setup with right space for the lights, there are no shadows.

check out this grow.. my buddy pulled over a pound from one plant under a single 250 and a couple of cfl's for side lighting.. one plant, apple jack.. i'll be right back with a link..
