How many grams per watt is a satisfying grow for you?

  1. EGGGG friggingZAcKLY!!!!!!!

    And in addition it's *strain* dependent to a goodly degree.

    Anyone here seein Big Bud type yields out of an OG?

    Keeeeriiisssttt just grow the plant and enjoy it , the freaking
    numbers games erode the enjoyment , I mean don't get me
    wrong here I do track what I get and yeah I cull nonproducing
    strains. But then other folks grow 'em well and don't do so
    well with what I do well with.

    What the hell is with the continual attempts nowadays to
    make all this fit in the " numbers box"? Even commercial
    agriculture can't be completely stuffed in that box , and that's
    across the board for wheat , rice , barley , the various orchard
    produce etc.

    Sometimes you get more , sometimes you get less , just get used
    to that *fact* of life and keep moving on.
     



  2. Hhhmmmm maybe not , maybe some folks will learn something
    perhaps even it will get turned into an " advice" thread. That should
    frost the OP's ball right up.

    And as I cited not everything yields the same , nor will most folks
    get * every* strain to perform for them. When a strain fails for folks
    many of them need to look in a mirror and subsequently go back and
    analyse where the causative factors might have cropped up.

    As an example , me/ I can do Skunks , Blue crosses and other NorthCoast
    genetics while blind crippled and crazy , with one hand glued to my
    pecker and the other scratching my ass.

    OGs , not so much , gotta genuflect and bow to them daily , light
    candles to fourteen saints , do a Shaman Dance and offer a bull calf
    sacrifice to Odin to get any sort of yield.

    Doesn't mean OG is bad , it's means I can't grow it for shit , haven't
    found " the combination" , doesn't mean I won't try 'em again , especially
    since I've got the deadHead and the Platinum coming in a genetics trade.

    One's sytem needs constant analysis , but in the end turning it into a
    pure numbers game is a short-term outlook , erodes the pleasure and
    for some folks is a route to a freaking ulcer.
     
  3. Damn , but Rumple brought up a DAMN good point.

    Would y'all rather have 2 grams a watt of B grade or would
    you rather have .5 gram a watt of triple A grade?

    In the longterm quality beats quantity every time.
     
  4. I wish folks would come up with a better formula that show good usage of power and time.
     

  5. There is one, but no one ever uses it. You can just use grams per kWh. kWh automatically brings time into the equation.
     

  6. grams / Kwh is decent , there was a "grow room efficiency" formula I saw one time, but it was complex...

    I say , who cares ! grow dank buds !

    :p
     
  7. How are people like this leach allowed to continue to post on GC. I know I am only feeding the troll here but where are the moderators? This guy has no respect for anyone and doesn't deserve the privileged of a GC membership. just my .02c

  8. You people are taking up waaaaay to much room on this thred and not answering his question!!! Better not go to sleep tonight!!! Giggity giggity lol!
     
  9. Wow, who would want to help this guy? He blows up a forum full of people that want to do nothing but help? What a little pecker head.
     
  10. LOL, u mad bro?

    3/4 gpw :smoke:
     
  11. Im good.
     
  12. im running 75/80000 lumans in 15 sq ft and thats still not enough they say now 7000/10000 lumans per sq ft used to be 5500/7000 lumans wounder why it keeps changing.. I couldnt tell you the watts to gram ratio tho.. 1 400w HPS and 6 200w CFLs daytime now I have to switch to 300w cfls suck..
     
  13. 2 years later.... your still an asshole...
     
  14. Without really trying and on an old bulb....20-25 zips....6-700 grams.
     
  15. your a snotty, bitchy sounding boy child son lol..Emo style. forget your question, doesn't matter. you need xanax, not weed

    get some professional help before you murder your mom in her sleep cuz she didn't cut the crust off your peanut butter and jelly sandwich

    eeeMo
     
  16. then why the fuck would you post... the guy asked for grams per watt... you wouldn't go into a math exam and say well i dont actually like math so i'm gonna tell you about Spanish in stead.

    1.0 would be my ideal. obviously the more the merrier.
     

  17. Worth repeating.
     
  18. My last grow was 1.4 with mostly 600's two 750 and 2 thow wows. There are a lot of variables so again this is one way to measure your efficientness. Now that I'm growing back in my home tho I see my numbers dropping. I would like to say 1g a watt is the goal for most ppl.

    Depends on the strain and how they yield on what I expect. Also if I am running the same strain or multiple strains under one light. Lower yielding plants(ex. chemdawg) I shoot for 1.5+ oz off each plant. I run 6-8 plants around my 600w vertical hps in a 4x4 space. Pulled a pound off 4 NYC Diesel plants under the same light with 28 days of veg.
