Gram a watt

You are obviously missing the point of "grams per watt". It is not supposed to be accurate, it's just a rough guideline of how your grow is going.

you obviously dont get that gram per watt is a joke. It should be grams per how much money you spent on electricity... gram per watt is way too vague, all I am saying is that it's not an accurate way to say how your grow is going. obviously

I think clone don't do as well when put 12/12 early on because they don't have the root structure to support the plant yet, seeds do a lot better on the 12/12 than clone imo ... I am new at the 12/12 but I did 3oz from one plant and many 2+oz .

That means your not doing a good enough job rooting your clones before you plant them.

I also don't know if I would take advice from someone who has the typing skills and grammar of a 3rd grader.

how about english is not my first language you ass hole

if you notice I started my sentence with ''I think'' which means in my opinion, in my experience, clone dont do as well when put 12/12 early because the roots structure is not good enough and you go and say the same fkin thing.

i got a gpw on my last batch. check link at bottom. hope this helps. know its not going to happen right away, i still feel like it was a fluke until i can do it again.. and my foot print was 5x6 this last batch so i had alot of room to work with.

how many lights/watts in your 5x6 when you did 1 gpw?

I agree with those saying that gram per watt is not an accurate way to measure efficiency.

One thing I rarely see people mention in these "how to aquire 1g per watt" threads is that genetics are just about the most important factor.

Someone show me Deep Chunk getting 1 gram per watt. Not happening.

4 thousand watters. 10x12 area of canopy

# of gpw per month, or week or whatever timeframe is actually a much better way to do it.

I think g/m2 is a better guide of how efficient your plants are at filling the space .. anything over 400g m/2 is a good use of space

g/m3 would be even better, but i do not think growers have evolved that far yet, maybe some of the vertical growers lol

when folk grow SOG or use lots of small plants to fill a large space, many of these growers fail to account for the extra mother space they require to keep all those cuttings coming constantly
if you are using 50 sog plants to fill a space you could fill with 8 large plants .. 8 large plants would only require 1 tiny mother for the clones , virtually no space at all devoted to mothers
50 healthy clones for sog would require a few healthy mothers in a much larger devoted mother space
this extra mother/veg space also needs to be accounted for when working out how efficient smaller faster plant growing is

peace

do a search for heath robinson i think he pulled like 45oz from a 600w in a vert setup

hyroot · Jul 7, 2012

The most I ever got off my 1000w was 0.6 gpw. My par t5 pulls 0.8 - 1.2 gpw. When my new led's arrive. I expect to get even more. I do indicas. If I did sativas the gpw would most likely be higher.
