.5, so 500 per plant under "decent "/good comditionskiss-ass
Wrong, wattage per gram is TOTAL NET DRY WEIGHT, not per plant. See NoDrama's post.
Excellent post. I wanted to repeat it in it's entirety so the confusion above it was not the last thing read.One more thing to add, when they say 1 gram per watt, they are saying total dried weight. doesn't matter if you got 100 plants or 1 plant, you still only got a 1000 watt light in there so no matter how many plants you got you did really good if you get 500 grams. 1/2 gram/watt is your basic grower who actually knows what he is doing. 1 gr/watt and you are a fucking bona fide green thumb. if you can make 1.25 g/watt you should be in charge of some agricultural phenomenon cuz you is the shiznit.
If your a first time grower and you are starting in hydro and you did a good job with a 1000w HPS and had no problems to speak of you will be lucky to get 300 grams total dried weight, noone just walks in reads a few posts and goes out and starts pulling poundage from day 1 with a hydro system.
The sun provides about 10,000 watts per square meter at the equator, as you can see even Mother nature doesn't get the 1/2 g/watt and she has millions of years experience.
-- edit --
I'm about to harvest my very first plant using a 400W HPS and I think I can squeeze 2 oz out of it dry.
But I've also got a bunch of other plants under that light.
