lets talk yield, .5g to 2.5 grams per watt. how can we get there?

you can get 2gpw doing sog horizontally, if you want more you will have to go vertically for sure.

i grew critical+ from dinafem, it is basically big bud, i got 1.6gpw in summer with no ac and no co2, when i grow my cheese in the same way i get 1gpw but the quality is non comparable.

as with all things growing nobody can do it for you, when you learn what works best for you, you will truly be a happy man.

good commercial seed company but they just don't compare in quality in my opinion, strains from reserva privada and tga are what i would consider a "good comprimise"

clone onlys are the real strains to grow but what are you to do when you can't get your mitts on em.

Got the pimp ass hydro system for sure just the dialing in. Here is what we working with: 1 000 watt dimable digital ballast with ax xxl hood inside a 54 x54 in sunhut with 4x4 ebb n flow table and two four ft t5 on the sides. Another 4x4 with two 2x4 ebb n flow tables two 400 watt digital hallways one mh and hps in closet have a 3x3 ebb and flow with 400 watt mh a 2x4 tent over the door of closet making another section for clone machine Ann prop tray. Lights and all reses are cool withawaterchilled 1 HP and two manifolds we built to run the chilled water to three ice boxes and 3 wort chillers. 2 co2 tanks and regulators a sentinal controller that is the best u can buy and another controller that was 200 bucks cheaper. 3 6in inline fans pushing and pulling air thru the lights as well as conditioning the air in the room. Tryin to harvest every 30 days. Now just need to dial it in getting very close guys I can't wait.

hey im new to this board but was on overgrow back when it was up. Im using 13 23 wts, 4600 kelVIN daylight ultras puttin out 299 watts and another panel with #10 23 watt warm white 230 watts TOTAL WATTS = 529 WTS. Do you think a 3 x 3.5 x 9 size room with that many watts could get four blue cheese finished and get about .5 per watt at least?

Gonna say the same thing you got back then. And that's no. Good luck getting .5gpw with cfl.

How many runs have you done in your setup?

1 full tray yield 2 before that that only had one plant flowering each. but i built all this stuff up from just finding a few bag seeds and throwing in closet. started with a 400 watt magnetic ballast over a year and a half this is what im ending up with. sjust now getting good at running the damn setup and everything dialed in so you get desired enviroment out of it all. you cant just throw that stuff in a room and expect it to grow something.to get it all running was a nightmare. its in a master bedroom with bathroom dedicated to it only. ro machine and res in bathroom works good. time to sit back and savor the flavors.

I get bang on 1g per Watt and that's with a totally homemade setup and everything is kept very simple. Pretty much just basic nutes, a little bit of hst and supper cropping, no aircon (temps are often a little high) and only ever do a couple of plants under about 2000w and veg for a few weeks. So I am guessin if i was to add C02, an aircon, employ a SOG or ScROG grow method, use some boosting nutes etc you could easily get more... I am happy with the 1 for 1 though and just keeping it more low maintenance and more forgiving .

Completely dependent on the way the math is done technically a 1k only pulls 1 kwh so at 12 hours a day is only pulling 12 kw so in 60 days it's roughly 720 kw you pay for multiply by 2 for x2 gpw and it comes to roughly 3.2 lb's per lamp (still a stretch) and if you want to get more technical you would calculate veg setup as well.

Shut the fuck up about the rules. Just grams per watt. IF you cant handle it. stuff it back in and keep bleedin.

lol ... when i saw what was a 1gpw grow there was no room .... so to increase that to 2.5 is a figure unrealistic as a nascar lap time... I think achieving near 1gpw means u are pushing things very far... Vertical grow can achieve more but 2.5?? Would love to see just how 'dry' that is lol... major factors for me are temperature because plants drink more waer under higher temps... Also understanding osmosis and how ur feed and run offs tally up can tell the 'direction' the feed is going in( between roots and tank).. Remembering roots and plan growth are direcly linked is important for big yields... If the roots aren't really happy and stable u wont get 1gpw,,, as for 2.5????? pahhhh

2.5 grams per watt was what Heath Robinson's vertical grow yielded I think, so it can be done.

Personally. ...i have to be honest and say Heath Robinson was full of shit. Even with those pics. No one else....on all the forums ever hit those weights. Cmon. And 2 or 2.5 gpw ? Cmon. I dont think so. Its hard as fuk hitting 1.0 gpw. Initially anyways. Once you get a routine on what to do with that strain...iam sure its easier. Double ended lamps make hitting high weight much easier i knlw that. But old school lamps (thisnis an old post) and whatnot....hitting 2+ pounds per single ended 1000 watt is not easy. 2.0 or 2.5....cmon.
