Thats all fine and dandy but how many plants per square meter must you have to get an accurate estimate.

One more thing, the grams that they say per meter is that after they are cut, dried and ready to enjoy?

I personally think the more appropriate way to calculate yields would be by grams/plant but thats just me.

For those who aren't metrically inclined 1 meter=roughly 3 feet.
The answer is a question back to you: How many plants do WANT to grow in a square meter? You could grow as many or as few as you want. Literally anywhere from less than 1 to 50+. You can have good results with any number of setups, it just depends what kind of room you wanna run with.

No two rooms are exactly the same... You have to consider: ventilation, height, growing medium, lightsource and lots of other factors. Tell us what your room is like and what your budget is and we can give you some solid suggestions.
