Is 2 GPW possible?

I am just wondering if anyone has ever hit 2 grams per watt? I am assuming thats only possible in Sea of green, and not with a few plants?

I have heard of people pulling off a pound with one plant. But that is with ideal conditions. I would think that a lengthy veg time would be needed.

Well if you get 1 gpw normally just leave your light on constant to rotate another batch under. Your then doubling your yield while still using the same light

Nice try? I do this with my 600 hps and don't get 2 gpw just quite but when rotating crops under I obviously get twice the yield. Not 2gpw but I'm not really dialed in. I do get over 1 by doing that...but yea no need to be like that....I get .85 per watt or 1.7 gpw if you Include rotation

It takes a lot of exp.

1K's, light movers, hydro, lots of veg, CO2, fresh air, top notch Nutes.. Not one problem

AKA: A Perfect Grow...

Should take you anywheres from 5 to 20 years to pull it off.
Let us know when you do

vertical moving lights, airpot, airfloor or high pressure aeroponics. (Focus on oxygenating roots/ideal root temps, using light footprint w/o hood.)
if you ask me, its a lot of investment for the hpa setup
Good reflective material (this means cleanable stuff, like the polished dimpled aluminum shit)
air filter on intake (prevents dust getting on plants, lights, and reflective materials)
I wouldnt go higher than 600w bulbs to achieve highest GPW, because 600w's have the best WATT-LUMEN ratio, if you look at 1000w's , they have a lower watt-lumen ratio.
there is a huge debate here
yeah dont forget co2 lol

Are y'all being serious? My 1.7 is with miracle grow no ph'ing anything fancy, growing sativas acquired from Mexican brick....I figured all that time and money y'all would be doing a lot more than me

^ the Closer they are the more Lumens you get. The Lumen To Output ratio is wrong. 1Ks give more, but you get less because they throw more heat, which proceeds to get put farther away.

As long as you have AC, and or they're air cooled. 1Ks are the Best

This would be a Job for a Commercial Grower. Who gets the Best AND most out of every Plant he Produces.

No Commercial Grower would ever use MG...
