Do you think i can get a pound dry with using a 400w hid light

This is what a gram per watt or more looks like. What's your tents dimensions? You could pull weight in that tent just need it setup right and I still have 20 days lol haven't even hit the swell yet. How many grows you have under your belt? What's media and nutez?

Strain is purple bud big ones small ones are ak 48
Do you think i can get 1 gpw? With 400w hid grow light

If you're asking these questions, chances are you don't have the experience to get high numbers. Try to aim for the healthiest plants possible, yield will follow.

10 years on and off in florida and the past 6 months here in Colorado when I moved here worked at a top concentrate company with a 1700 plant count I was one of 3 growers in charge of cloning, clone care and all vegetative plants roughly 900 plants including clones to take care of

Ya taking 256 clones every 9 days and managing 4 128 site ez cloners along with another 500 or so plants it sounds like a lot but when set up right it's easy just gotta know what your doing its a lot to take in at once tho can't lie.

I think you're in dirt but you didn't seem to mention it. Are your temps getting too high including night time temps? When in dirt you need that cool night time temp to keep Pythium away in addition to letting your planters get paper light before watering. I have turned co2/excess heat off before when I suspected poor root health but I have lost a plant or three in my times. good luck my friend

Way better quality? I pulled 2lbs a light with Matt Berger's original ocean grown og cut that has been a legend since the early 90's and is one of the rarest cuts around and is known to produce 2lbs a light max with co2 but I did it without it and i have his bubba cut.....don't even know who I am or what I got but wanna judge like I'm growing some big bud strain or something lmao

I'm not exactly sure what your point is here as - I said "Yes it's strain dependent (gpw)! But there are WAY HIGH quality strains that will NEVER even reach 1 gpw! So then, in my book,,,,,The GPW thing IS a moot point!"
There are high quality strains that will NEVER hit 1gpw as it's NOT in their genetics !!!!

I've seen forum cookies throw down over 1.5 a light and it's considered high quality I've seen gg4 do over 3 a light and high quality, cuvee over 3 a light and high quality, sonic screwdriver, penny wise, Kandy kush, lemon g, gg4 x star dawg, gsc x star dawg, pretty much everything I have can do it and is top quality. My bubba I've heard of 2.3 a light but it was mutated from all the additives and the 24k and my larry are my lowest yielders at a 1lb a light but there are a lot of strains that are fire as fuck that can do it

Ok good for you, I guess.
I would ask about that GG4 & Cuvee going over 3 a light though.
How big a light and what was the yield?

@churchhaze So then, over 3 a watt? Id like to hear your 2 cents on that church!

My point is that GPW is not a measure worth employing!

This thread is a truckload of incorrect/misinformed info.

A gpw isn't a good yield. It's what most decent growers aim for as a standard IMO. 2gpw is more what I think the aim is these days with the increased efficiency.

Any strain can pull more than a gpw I'm doing well over that with cookies crosses and my ogs. So it's not impossible.

That being said. Most growers using 400watt hids won't be hitting a gpw. It absolutely can be done and you could do most any strain you just have to know how to effectively use your canopy space/light footprint. The thing i have noticed about the 250-400 watt hid range is it is usually inexperienced growers running them(not all by any means). When you realize the light/efficiency increase from stepping up to a 600 is worth the extra $5-10 a month the 400 and lower ballasts don't seem to be worth running.

Imo, Standard = good.

Like you said, it means having good canopy management and getting everything else right. 1gpw should be a benchmark goal for a 400W HPS.

(Yes, I understand gpw isn't a very accurate measurement... and doesn't tell the whole story, but if you're getting 0.5gpw, chances are you're doing something wrong, probably canopy management)

It does tell the whole story if u got by true gram per watt and take in account everything running and not just lights
