What's your biggest yield in small container (i.e gram/L ratio)?.

What is the most you've gotten from a small pot/container. What's your gram/L ratio?

So here's the deal, grams / watt is really not that important in the scheme of things. When you do the math, maximizing yield w respect to pot size is more important as the gram/watt ratio as long as you're at or above the .5gram/watt threshold. Why? Cost of media, transport, disposal, etc. becomes more expensive and more of a hassle than what it cost to burn a 1k for at 12 hours per day for 30 days, which by the way is in the ballpark of ONLY $40-50 bucks per month.

So while it's cool to own bragging rights to 1.5 grams/watt, it really is irrelevant from a business stand point. I mean really, what's at stake here makes $50 a joke. I call that penny wise and pound foolish.

So I am experimenting w maximizing in 2 gallon pots. I am using a coco-hydroton mix. And am hoping to get them huge, and yield 8 oz (or more) from each. What do ya say?

Thanks in advance!

just got a bit over 3oz from a 1 gallon soil bucket, LST'd and tomato caged

never tried coco or hydro, but i'm interested in trying it to see if i could increase my yields

...i got just shy of 2 zips per from these 2liter coco hempys, so 4 of them works out to a bit over 7 zips, ...almost the same amount of media as 2 gallons if my math is ok.

Nice big buds! There's hope for my goal after all. I just bent & tied the tops over 180 deg. yesterday. They've already turned back up but now I have about 5 level tops.
