I'm not saying he will grow a plant with a pound of bud on it but it has been done before so he might be able to. After a few years of growing that is. I know this guy that had 2 plants in his back yard. They were both around 20ft tall. He had to chop them down because someone was cutting off of it. How much do you think a 20ft pot plant will produce? Times that by 2 and thats what he had.
On a little side note I just want to state that I know that i will never be able to grow any thing that produces a pound...

well the reason its 20 feet is because its outdoors... and outdoors if done correctly and taken care of can produce a pound easily, especially a 20 ft plant
but indoors it fairly hard to get a pound, pratice makes perfection

It is possible to get big yields out of indoor. This is a plant (a high yielder) grown under a 400watt veg -2 HPS for flower with 9 other plants. The total dried yield of this one plant was 4oz.
Please note: I DID NOT GROW THIS.
I could only hope to achieve something like this!
This was a very experienced grower, doing his thing.
So theoretically, how much could your garden produce? Alot.
What will you probably get? I would say if you average 2 OZ. per plant you did very well. If you are a noobie, if you average an oz a plant you did well.
Good luck and I hope you find everything you're looking for!

PS Here is all the growing info
400W MH for veg
2 360W hps for flower.
9 other plants under these 2 lights as well, so 10 plants under 2 360's...too crowded in hindsight.
in dirt (obviously)

Well that is high yeilds for only 360w.... if you're a good grower its usually a gram per watt... i would of used two 600watt HPS and for veg... Fluro's then switch to MH bulbs after veg... but he does it his own wayIt is possible to get big yields out of indoor.

anyone know how many watts the sun gives off.. i bet its a couple thousand
first of all...none of you will ever yield 500 grams per plant...EVER...im not trying to be mean...but u just wont. like seedlessone said, that theory of one gram per watt....would only be done if doing a grow with multiple plants under one 1000 watt hps light...and to get this yield....u would need to have a perfect grow,,,honestly on average, i would say that an average indoor plant yields 1oz.

When the law gives a weight amount isen't this a wet and root/stem weight? I could see the weight being alot more then real smoke. Just the water weight alone you will lose anywhere from 60% of the bud weight.( From what I have read.)
If you want a larger yield then you will need more light-ie lumens persqf. that will be able to penetrate each plant in the most effective way.

I'll try tohelp a bit with the 'confusion'.
Grow yield (NOT pr. plant yield) highly depends on 3 factors:
Energy - Light intencity
Buildingmaterial - nutirents
Genetics - strain
These 3 factors ar the most important once considering yield. The most important one in yield consideration is the energy.When you grow outdoors, mother sun takes care of the energy, outdoors growers only have to think about the two other factors. I'm ONLY talking about indoor growing here.
The trick about light is that the light energy that the plants can actually use, gets weaker by a factor of 4 when doubling the distance. The light energy available to plants 2 feet from your lights will bee 1/4 the light energy available at 1 feet from the lights. Thats why it is so important to keep your light close the where it's needed - at your plants. Thats also why it is yield wise favorable to use a growing technique where the plants are evenly heightet like SeaOfGreen (SOG) or ScReenOfGreen (SROG/SCROG). While were at it, let me also try to explain why you cant really ask/answer how much yield you can expect from ONE plant. The amount of buds produced depends on how much of the lights energy you succeseed to make available for bud production. So depending on strain and growing technique, the amount of energy available for bud production can be very different (density of the plants foliage and overall distance from light to foliage). Growing one big plant with a light hanging at the top as a star on a christmas tree is actually a stupid way of utilizing the light energy, cause only the top branch gets the full benefit of the short foliage to light distance. Thats why most comercial growers use som kind of technique to average the height of the plants to make the foliage to light distance more even, so that as big as possible amount of the light energy gets used to produce the mighty weed
Also, nearly all light penetrating the plant foliageand hitting the soil, wall or container is more or less useless.Therefore, keep your pleants as tight together aspossible, while also giving the plants room for growth. This is one of the key factors for increasing yeild - to maximise the amount of light that hits your plants foliage directly, and to make distance to lights as close as possible without burning them.
The ONLY measurement of interest when talking about indoor yield is weight of final smokeable product pr.watt, usually grams/watt. This is because the money for the energy (and therefore energy for your plants) is the number one, top of the list expence when growing indoor.
Don't expect more than 1 gram/watt... EVER!
As a firs time grower, you should be happy and satisfied (and congratulate your self) if your harvest ticks in at 0.5 gram/watt.
NOTE: There are myriads of other factors that affects yield, all of witch you will probably slowly learn to master, harvest by harvest, as you see your yield aproach 1 gram/watt (when talking grams/watt it is nearly allways when using HID lightning at 250 watt pr. bulb or more. Anything less that HID@250 watt is not considered economically attractive).

When you reference grams per watt, are you referring to harvested weight or dried weight?

This was an absolutely terrific post. As a newbie (just harvested my first grow yesterday) let me say thank you very much.
Now, with this information in hand (and with a great deal of respect for your obvious expertise), I'm wondering if you have any plans on posting tips, etc. on ScrOG and/or SOG?!
To sum up the misunderstandings concerning grams and watts:
That measure is used for efficiency purposes. After a few grows you can compare g/watt and reflect on what worked and what didn't. Its the number of grams that come out of the room compared to the wattage that was available.

One more thing to add, when they say 1 gram per watt, they are saying total dried weight. doesn't matter if you got 100 plants or 1 plant, you still only got a 1000 watt light in there so no matter how many plants you got you did really good if you get 500 grams. 1/2 gram/watt is your basic grower who actually knows what he is doing. 1 gr/watt and you are a fucking bona fide green thumb. if you can make 1.25 g/watt you should be in charge of some agricultural phenomenon cuz you is the shiznit.
If your a first time grower and you are starting in hydro and you did a good job with a 1000w HPS and had no problems to speak of you will be lucky to get 300 grams total dried weight, noone just walks in reads a few posts and goes out and starts pulling poundage from day 1 with a hydro system.
The sun provides about 10,000 watts per square meter at the equator, as you can see even Mother nature doesn't get the 1/2 g/watt and she has millions of years experience.

Thanks. You've really made this whole thread much clearer to me.
