1 Gram Per Watt?

[Thomas Cherry]

Sling my penny's worth in, I have just run 4 x 250watt.

Harvesting around :
24 Oz/672g
Gram per watt = 0.672
Hydro grown from clone
10 days veg (me thinks)
Harvest - 56days (12/12)

Sorry I'm just tooooooooo stooooned

That pile of wet bud pictured is no more than 400 grams dry.

Right on, thanks for the info, I just always thought it was a generally accepted rule, but I guess yields are effected by so many factors it's not really something that can be easily estimated.

Your welcome my friend. Its all about being happy with what your doing.

Right...

The pics are wet,

BUT it dried to weight above...

NOT bone dry, but smoking dry with a bit of moisture in it if you know what I mean.

And this was after removing the biggest baddest stems.

6 Plants all looked like this. In a grow tent. We also have a "Ganja Flat" where pics will be following shortly.


EDIT: I mentioned 1 G per Watt as I had the idea from people in my 10 years of growing that this was the perfect ratio, and I myself have never achieved anywhere near this before...

E2A:: Wet weight was 2.8 Kilo

 

[happee_daze]

6 weeks veg, (4 weeks) 1 litre deep pot to 11 litre final pot, 8 weeks flower (10 weeks 11 ltr veg/flower potting overlapped).

Ok that makes alot more sense, 2.8k wet - about 75% moisture loss gives you .7 dry.
Pound and a half (672 g's) off a 600 is pretty damn good.
How bout some pics. of the end product.

 

[DirtDoctor]

Yeah, you can grow more than a g/watt if you grow giant trees.

most of us would be almost done with our first harvest by the time those plants were done vegging though

 

[gnarly]

i suppose the 1g/watt theory needs to always be used in perspective to time as well. If someone could come up with a clearer explanation, such as 1g/watt/90days, which actually seems like a pretty good comparison.

if you shorten your days of veg/flower, you can also then expect less, and still be achieving well because you are running faster, which may ultimately benefit you over time.

great discussion here though. I wanna see it all dried in baggies!

What strain is it?

I calculate grams/watts/months to my own grows to see how well I am improving. I can't seem to beat .4 grams/watt/months. This would be using the old method as .8 grams/watt, which really to me has no meaning without the time factored in. The first is the best way in my opinion and everyone should figure it this way so people growing trees have an idea how they are doing compared to people growing SOG.

TGT - How do u work out grams/watt/months ??? It may b simple bt i jst dnt see how u work it out rite now, an explanation would b greatly appreciated as i really wana compare my grow to see how much i'm improving.

Its alot of record keeping.

The only way to see if you are improving, is to constantly be aware of all aspects of the grow.

I have a friend who will compile huge reports on each grow. Everything from temp/hum changes from hour to hour, to nutrient uptake, ppm/ec/ph levels and any changes in levels, dried weitght, wet weight, basically he will complile every factor of the grow.

But I cant take that approach, I just dont have the time nor patience.

I simply take a genetic, run it through my system and record veg times. flower times. and harvest weights.

There are simply too many factors that weigh into this method. You just have to do your best to keep optimal conditions and look to ways to improve your grow.

I have another friend that used 5x1000s in a "sog" setup, but he never puts enough plants in the room, so his harvests are always lacking..

Its all about perspective and personal prefrence. Some people like big trees. Others like quick harvests. In my opinion if your producing good herb, thats all that matters.

Dr. Greenfinger, the way I calculate it is far from perfect, but it does include the time which is much better than just grams per watt. There is other variables to make it more accurate, but you have to draw the line somewhere.

What I do is take the grams I produce and divide that by the amount of watts, then divide that by the months it takes me to finish the grow from rooted clone to finished bud. So it in my case my math would be 3136 grams divided by 4000 watts which equals .78 grams per watt. It takes me 2 months to complete the grow because I use a perpetual type system, so I divied .78 by 2 which gives me the final value of .39 grams/watt/months.

I find this a good value because it includes the time which really shows how efficient your garden is, at least as close to a usable value as possible.

I am stoned right now so I hope that made sense and I didn't screw things up.

That's right, most people have spotted that that bud looks wet... 2 kilo with a 65-75% drop in weight over time will be around 500g.... still impressive, but not quite 200% efficient gpw... Took me and my pals 2 years to reach 114% then 120% on two consecutive grows, but minor changes in regime can fk that all up.. good-un!!

I did exactly that to accomplish 114% and 120%. Because it was my first time handling 44 & 90 plants in two rooms I wanted to be certain I wasn't going to fk something up.. I monitored everything and took a lot of photos and analysed each one lol... since then I've become somewhat relaxed as I had something to prove at that time and these days its all about /ME

 

[COUNT-DE-MONET]

Hmmmmmmmm....1gram per watt....Hydro, maybe if your a master grower.soil or organic .75 gram per watt maybe.

I mean buds that are completely dry and no stems or leaf.

 

[Guest]

1 gram per watt is based on a 60 day flower cycle
Ed Rosenthal has a similar guide which is .5g per month of flower
veg time is not taken in consideration because 10 huge plants might yield the same as 100 tiny ones

i think this guy might have mixed up his lbs and kilos
