1 gram per 1 watt at most is this true ?

[Wheatie]

is it true that you cannot produce more than 1 gram for every 1 watt ?

Definitely not.

Depends on if you are skilled enough to use CO2 effectively.
For a nOOb, you will more likely hit about 0.3 g/watt/month if you are lucky.
Am I having deja vu or did you post this Q in another thread?

1Gram/Watt-Wet lol.

Even if you had the perfect environment, with a perfect feeding schedule/portion, etc... it would still be at least a bit dependent on the strain. As most people here know, sativa strains will likely not yield as much as a heavy indica yielder. Thus, I don't think you can get 1g/watt no matter what in some cases. I wouldn't be too worried about that, though. Plus, if you had, say, 5000 watts running in your grow room... do you actually think you'd be able to yield 5000 grams wet unless you had plenty of plants? Correct me if I'm wrong, though...

You can get 0.5g/watt/per month in flower room; thus, on an 8-week strain, you can get 1g/watt/cycle.

5-1000W HPS creating 11.5 Lbs of wet product, Then dry thats about 3-4Lbs. Yeah I think thats possible. I've never done anything close to that scale but my 246W CFL's created atleast 10 O's of wet down to about 2.5 O's Dry

I yielded 114 Oz bone dry weight 44.5 plants under 5 * 600W HPS with no CO2, just Advanced Nutrients products during the first week of February 2007. Temperature was not an Issue because it was the middle of winter. Half the room was G-13, just under half was Chronic with 4 Sensi Star. I have pics. The room has/had never been so rammed with plants. The G15 were over 5' tall in their pots. The Chronic and Stars ranged between 18 and 24 inches.

It is possible to exceed 1gram per watt:

114 ounce = 3 231.845 636 25 gram
5 * 600 = 3000W

Difference 231.85g or 108% efficient in terms of 1g per W

i dont think its the wattage so much as things like if your in hydro, what kind of light, plant, nuts, etc.

hydro means more energy to plants for bud, so itd get more per watt

Umm- the metric's meaningless if it's not expressed as g/w/m
To illustrate - if a car is going 100 miles an hour, it's barrelling down the highway.
If the same car is going 100 miles a month- yer pushing it.


>1 g/w/m is not as hard as it sounds- ya just gotta be efficient ( and aware of diminishing returns in lighting investment per sq foot)
