Grams per watt means nothing if you don't take the veg time into context.
A plant vegged for 6 months in a 600W system will obviously yield more than a plant vegged for 2 weeks in a 600W system.
This makes g/w effectively irrelevant. It is very easy to reach 1g/w. If it takes you a year to do it, it's not better than the 0.5g/w sea of green next door. Time is the important variable here.
Grams per kilowatt hours would be far more important if you want to measure your efficiency.
[Watts in Veg x Veg Length (in hours)] / 1000 = Veg KWH (V)
[Watts in Flower x Flower Length (in hours)] / 1000 = Flower KWH (F)
Note: When calculating hours, only use hours the light is on. If you veg in 18/6, then it's 18 hours multiplied by days in veg.
Flowering in 12/12 would be 12 hours multiplied by days in flower.
[Yield (in grams)] / [V+F] = Grams per KWH.
