eflo good luck with you grow first of all, secondly, keep us updated with your progress. i think everyone here is more than willing and capable of steering you in the right direction. as for your question a good benchmark to aim for starting out IMO would be .5gpw once u can reach that level in my experience, the rest is just a matter of getting your veg and training techniques down. veg and training trough topping and LST is what makes the difference between a .5gpw crop and a 1+gpw crop. unless it doesnt matter how many plants u can have then you could just fill everything up playing the numbers game. you also want to spend your time growing out many different phenos until you find one that grows the way you want and gives you a product your looking for. you can only do so much without the proper genetics. during my couple months of vegging i LST until they r big enough to grow into my training screen, i start topping early and often, prob 10 times overall, starting very young. my goal is to have a minimum of 80 good tops on each plant, each of those tops can yield anywhere from 3-7+ grams dried, u do the math!
