I'm more of a 'cash in pocket' kind of guy to determine my progress. No sense in gauging my performance if its not equating to my end objective.
Lbs per light for kicks. Lbs out the door for keeps. Any product beyond a nice round number is given away to friends or those in need.
Anyone gauging there grow by weighing dry weight - comparison from grow to grow - is leading themselves blind anyways. If you're truly looking to know if you are improving or not you need to be weighing fresh wet product. Dry weight can vary across the board determinant on actual water content and time of measurement...there is just no way to accurately compare 2 grows if you're using a dry weight to gauge...unless of course your not being very accurate about it and just figuring lbs per light or lbs achieved.
One simply cannot say that they saw an increase in X grams from one grow to another and actually attribute to anything specific.. way too many variables in gardening... and if weighing dry it's completely irrelevant anyways because one sample could still have a larger % of moisture in it then the last sample - of course unbeknownst to the grower because to them.. dry is dry.. wet is wet.. but there are many degrees in the middle of unknown.
I hope that makes sense before I start getting blasted with negative rep for talking about weighing wet cannabis to gauge weight from a grow. I'm not saying this is a figure to post on here lead others to believe you get huge yields.. but as a number for yourself to gauge grow performance its the only way to go.
Then.. if you want to continue to chart your efficiency using some g/w or g/w/month scale or whatever at least you'll be being somewhat honest with yourself.
