Are you asking a Q based on SoG ? From what I have seen a 7x7 PSM gives the highest yield for mainly Indica commercial strains, but on a 10K plus grow you are probably talking over 1,000 plantlets, very hard to get right..... most Commercial Growers I hear about seem to grow larger plants, get slightly lower yield, but with a lot less work and plant numbers.
1.37 gm/w /56 has to be very good for anyone with 10K plus, IMO, but with the love and care you find on smaller setups, more is possible. Most will probably laugh at me, but I reckon 3gm/w is possible with a highly maintained, perfected SoG.... but that would be very hard to replicate on a large scale.
SOG or any style for that matter... In CA, plant numbers are of some concern, so typically in this set up each plant takes up about 1.6sqft of canopy, (or 5.5 plants per Meter Squared).
In an Ebb Flow set up, high grade production seems to max out at 75gm/sqft (or 675gm/sqMeter) again, per 8 weeks (9-10 for certain exotic strains).
Not sure my math is correct, but as I have it, theres 11,000k in 12:12 yielding about 15,000gm which by my math is around 1.35gm/watt. Based off that I dont think 3gm/watt is whatsoever possible, but if so... WOW!!!
Just trying to get a feel for what competent folks are averaging in a larger (10k+) venue.
