Professional s howdo you get 1 gram per watt?

seriously I know I will get less than .5 g a watt first grow. This is my plan. Waiting for my Green Posion fem seeds I will construct 9 dwc buckets and order my pump of ebay. I will use nutrients start low and gradualise. I will not use Bud candy or other snakeman oils but use pk 14 at 5 weeks. I will vegative for 6 weeks total that include the seed stage of life. I will top as de3scribed by unclebuck for 4 tops mains and lst tie down for an even capope at flowering, I will control temp by clip fan intake fan from cold air outside aand carbon filter out stale hot air. I have getting a 600watter on the way with a cool tube. I will get a Ph pen and an ECpen also I will get some nice inpesticides like soapy spray just incase of mighty spiders. I will germinise by putting so they sink in cup and then in paper towel then into the growballs or clay into the bucket. Thanks for helpfulness

Not personally no. I've seen a few people run it (sannie's dutch grow forum, he has some vids on youtube too) and while it's seems great it's indeed expensive especially since I don't grow commercially. 1gpw is supposedly very doable with a 300w lep but still used in combination with a hps or LED. 1k watt double ended hps + 300w lep, that'll do

The key is to avoid extremes. As in not far too little or too many plants, nutes, light, heat, water, etc.

For example, take a 5x5 tent/closet, add 1k watter HPS with a quality hood, 1000-1200m3h exhaust (roughly 1 cubic meter per hour 'per watt'), humidity between 40-60%, day temp 77-83, night temp 65-73, add 5-9 plants, veg till roughly 1/3-1/2 of the space is filled (depending on strain, some take longer to transition and stretch more, like sativa-dom hybrids), crop into roughly 36-50 bud sites (like 6x6 or 7x7) and make sure they have enough water and nutrients but never too much (skip the PK13/14...).

Strain yield per plant or w/e is not as relevant as most people seem to think either, there's only so much bud you can fit in a given space, whether that is 36 fat colas from a high yielder or 50 from a lower yielder doesn't matter that much. What's more important is the flowering time, better get 0.9gpw in 8 weeks than 1.0gpw in 11 weeks.

Uncle Ben, not uncle Buck, while equally obscene at times they are totally different people.
Are you planning an undercurrent grow or 9 separate rez buckets? That will probably out footprint a 600w light with an unfocused hood like from a cool tube. If their separate rez buckets id do four max. Thats less than half the headache of changing four reservoirs. Its neot easy when your on your back under plants lifting one up and sliding a bucket under there.
A couple more questions for ya, you asian? Or non english first launguage? Just wondering, no racism intended.
Have you phed your water yet to see what your starting with? How about the ppm? Over 300 to start? And are you on a water softener? Saaaaalty water?
And whats with the ph up? You probably wont need much of that
