Wouldn't it make more sense when measuring yield to express it as Grams Per Lumen (or some other measurement of light) per some unit of time rather than per watt? I realize that a commercial grow cares very much for the cost of the light, but couldn't that be measured separately?
I work in an industry where yield is absolutely critical, but energy is not directly part of any yield formula. Anyone competing on the basis of the metric that I suggested would obviously be aiming for the highest possible yields while minimizing all other overhead costs. This may in fact mean accepting less than the very highest yields if the costs outweighed the benefit from a financial perspective.
A total yield formula would probably account for all nutrients and water as well. Just sayin. Am I thinking about this wrong?
