Are you getting more than 1 gram per watt? Tell us how!

How about this...ICMAG should be used for people who just love cannabis and not for cashcroppers, okay? You people who grow large scale for money come onto this site and attract attention to the majority of us on here who just want to grow some personal stash and enjoy life! Many cashcroppers also love cannabis too, I realize that, but I don't think this site was intended for that.

I guess you missed this from the front page:
Welcome to the International Cannagraphic, a global community of cannabis growers, activists, photographers, breeders, vendors and medical patients.

You must have missed "vendors."
I even put it in bold for you.
It is silly for you to say what ICMAG should be used for.
The people that run this site welcome cash croppers with open arms.
Everyone has a different reason for being here.
Until Gypsy says otherwise...

Ganja baba - I have a SSH hybrid that looks a lot like those first pics. All those calyx lead to dense flowers and good weight. Awesome looking.

If it wasn't for cash croppers, we wouldn't be relishing in the cannabis climate we are in now. Thanks god for the cash guys intensely cultivating the plant and sharing the cultural aspects so that you and I can have good yield and quality.

get the fuck off this website then... how about that?

and as for everyone else who was giving great reading material, thanks a lot...

good read and thread so far..

DHF and GB you guys are very informational..

and as for the GPW you just need to have a ton of money for a great set up :)

Not that I necessarily disagree with this statement, but I still feel the need to call BS. :jerkit:

Is yeast based CO2 the big secret then? Or perhaps CFLs? Lol.

(Maybe in the future you should hide your disdain for cash-croppers)

disdain for cash croppers? - not sure where you get that from MB.
i think you need to consider my post in the context of what the OP says -

I think to make this information relative, your grow op should be at least 4000 watts. One 400, or one 1000 watt lamp is not enough to properly gauge effects of different techniques.
i would say that anyone who gets the requisit yields ( and 1g/watt is the least ive ever had in my cab) would have something relevent to add to this discussion.

my secret - no secrets :) - i dont use CO2 (or cfl's except for veg and mums). lots of factors will have an effect on yields - but the most important thing imo is to train your plants so you have the maximum number of buds at the perfect distance from your light.

here is a square foot of my garden - UK cheese at 8 weeks (supposedly a lowish yielder) - i got 1.3 grams/watt

What training method has brought you the greatest yields? Do you have one that you use on all plants, no matter which strain, or do you use different technique's on different strains?

Ganjababa`s done everything right across the board for a flat grow and major respect is due , but for the amount of lights used I`m wondering if there was enough sq ftg for the amount of plants it takes to obtain the 1+ gpw in a "timely" manner with no " down time " between harvey and re-set up ............

Smaller rooms with more controlled environments and less light but more "useable" light with more plants on the walls using bare bulbs is the ultimate "yieldmaster" IME compared to a floor you could NEVER put as many plants on AND control the environment they`re competing for to "be all they can be "..........

The kicker is that with a vertical setup you can also put X amount of plants on the floor that will up your yields even further but only if you control ambient temps and relative humidity..........

Krunchbubble`s got a thread in the vertical section with just shelves on the walls and lights on top of each other that once dialed strain-wise and environment is as close to the biggest producer GPW - wise there is...........

My shelves/racks were built on an angle so the plants would be pointed "directly" at the lights with plenty of room between plants to breathe and explode but it`s the same principle............using all available square/cubic ftg in the room for plants........

Bottom line is that plant numbers dictate yield .......period........as long as they`re spaced out enough to not haveta compete with the plants around em for the perfect environment it takes for maximum swellage and plant health..........

Too many plants in ANY type grow will choke the others out and strangle your yields...........There has to be balance.......

Blastin light at their ass only works if they`re able ta use/utilize it.......Anything more than they can assimilate and swell from is just a waste of electricity/cash and contributes to "negative" factors such as excess heat that`s gotta be dealt with throwing the balance of the dialed environment off.....

I mean cmon guys..........Plants on all 4 walls AND the floor ?....Use the bulbs ability to focus lumens 360 degrees as well as down with the proper reflective material on the walls AND ceilings............"Reflectix" ruled in my lil world..........

The sky`s the limit...........But it takes separate mom/clone/pre-veg production areas to provide those flip/bloom rooms ta keep floppin on a regular basis and how far you wanna go/take it for the brass ring...........But I digress.......Ya`ll handle it........I`m retired and bored.......

Peace....Freds...:joint:....

DHF thanks for the awesome info. I agree on the massive S.O.G. setups. I love and respect them. I may consider vertical stadium style as well. Sounds appealing. I am a firm believer in plant numbers and a relative balance will get you high yields, Plus they just look lovely all lined up under a few nice 1000's. THANKS EVERYONE FOR GALVANIZING THIS THEORY! cheers:)

Someone else who knows their stuff suggested that plant numbers are irrelevant to the yield, as long as you grow however many cuttings you have, to fill the space. Personally I believe that a well ordered SoG will slightly outperform a ScroG, but not by much, and that the real advantage is in less veg time, giving higher overall yield per year.

However, if plant numbers are important, you can still run well over 1g/w with a well set up ScroG, especially if you run some element of Vertical growing in there.
