Is 1 gram per watt possible with cfl's? On average what is every one getting per watt with cfl's. I'm only looking for cfl data, if you flower with something other than cfl's, please don't respond.

Thanks

well its so variable tough 1g per watt imo could never be achieved. I pulled 4 grams of 106W cfl grow 0.05 gram per W lol or even a bit less

wattage is definitely important but it's not everything, there are many more things involved in the grow and the yield you get will also depend on those.

I understand that there are many variables, I would like to know if 1 gram per watt is achievable, and what percentage ( watts to grams) is average.

Thanks for your numbers livingwparrents.

1g/w isn't even achieved with the best of growers....especially with cfl. You'll be lucky to get 1g out of 10w..........

tunaboat, 1 gram per watt is difficult to achive even with HPS so imagine with CLF. Harvest with less than 200W CLF are around 0.15 to 0.3 grams per watt.

1g/w is possible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_8Q9UEwJlY
and the best growers probably could achieve it but they are using hps so they don't even think about cfl's
