lol i like the lots600W HPS beast. Soon to be upgraded to an air cooled 1000W HPS.
number of plants - 6
grams per watt - lots

lol i like the lots
deff keep us updatedI’ll be perfectly honest, it’s my first grow; so I genuinely don’t know what the grams per watt is yet. Judging just purely on the looks and density of the buds I’d say 80 grams of bud per plant, they’re autos. That’s still 2.8oz per plant. Which would work out to be 16.8 ounces, or 475 grams of bud, which would be 1.2 grams per watt... but I mean I’m only basing this on looks. Come back and ask me in 3 weeks what it weighed![]()
We all over estimate our first yields. I’d suggest you stop guessing now to avoid being disappointed when you weigh it. Trust me..,you’ll still be happy with whatever you get from your first grow, but you’ll probably also be pissed and wonder why you yielded 1/4 - 1/2 of what you thought you were going to get. Don’t forget that the final dry weight is only 20% - 25% of the wet weight. This isn’t a knock on you, or your plants, so don’t take it that way. I’ve just yet to meet anyone who can accurately guess the yield they are going to get until they have everything chopped and hanging (at the earliest).I’ll be perfectly honest, it’s my first grow; so I genuinely don’t know what the grams per watt is yet.

"pissed off" was a poor choice of words on my part. What I meant is it will be more of a bittersweet feeling. You will be stoked, for sure, when you are done with drying and curing. There's no greater feeling than seeing the result of all that work and trying your home grown for the first time.completely agree, but I don’t think I’d be pissed off - if anything I just can’t wait for them to be finished. I will be happy with whatever I get and honestly even if it’s low grade weed by the end, I still wouldn’t be disheartened. I will stop guessing![]()
Mix of leds...second run after switching from two coolhood 600w hps I ran for a couple years.
I'm pulling 1138 true watts from the wall. I grow personal, so I dont keep track. Still improving.
Loving leds...

If you pulled off 1g/watt then that should yield you close to 43oz (if my early morning math is correct)Big question is, do I have enough bud sites to haul like 30oz potentially “IF”the buds I do have we’re to swell up heavy? Or is there a maximum of 1.5lb in my tent?
I never really calculated gpw..my growing is still evolving, it is for personal only. Best guess would be maybe 1 lb...maybe...I'm in an open room for flower, no tent.Two 600s one MH one HPS switching to both HPS on day 12 flower on day 6 now.. the 5x5 is filling right in just sprayed again for mites last night and pressure hosed em down with str8 air out my basement door rite after spraying em and there loving life 3/4 of em we’re praying this morning b4 the lights even turned on lol.. how much yield did u run from ur two 600s is my main question and did u have em in a 5x5 tent too or? I’m wondering what my yields could essentially look like down the rd if everything keeps going good? 1.5lb? The big 6 plants r Barney’s farm gorilla zkittlez n 8ball kush both wicked yielders per square meter, I did a lil lollipopping and there all topped obviously lol, also I defoliate a bit too.

Sorry I'm not much help on that aspect.

I have still not hit 1g/watt yet. I'm 'hoping' to yield a pound from my current harvest (under cheap 600W COB LED) which would come out to about 0.75g/watt...but I'm not holding my breath![]()
I start all my plants in a small tent under an HLG-65 but I'm in the process of building my own Samsung F-Strip light that should blow away what I'm running now. The COB LED lights I have are still pretty powerful, they just aren't as efficient or dialed in as Quantum Boards. I veg for 6-8 weeks (first few weeks under the HLG-65 and then they go under 600W of COB in the 4x4 tent.Get a couple t5s so u can start ur plants in that for 3 weeks b4 u harvest then that way u can maybe veg ur plants longer and yield more considering ur only running a cheap LED?? I donno
