Unfinished Grow Diaries

[kbellfoy]

I personally think thats pretty outstanding regardless how many grows youve done, Im yet to hit that but I have only been doing it 26yrs so I'll keep trying!:) I always weigh mine wet then dry it to about 20% of orig wet weight. So its dry to touch but with a little spring to it and grinds nicely, not too wet nor too dry. Though when I see alot of quoted "dry" weights Im not convinced they're as dry as I like to dry it.

I deffo waited till it was dry. I mean when it's dry enough for a stem to snap on the bud not bend. I can't find my diary now but final weight off 5 plants was just over 20oz. My current soil grow is the worst ever! Due to harvest in a week. This is the first time I followed a nute routine. Never again will I do that.

4oz off a plant dont mean shit......
If alls u had is 2 under the 600w 4oz a piece isnt very good at all. If u had 8 plants under a 600 avging 4oz a piece then ur doin great. Thats why we use gpw.

I had 5 plants under 1 600w hps. I did say it was pants lol.

Just under 1gpw, I should say so!

I just worked it out. I'm moving to hydro to try and get more gpw if I can. I couldn't have done it at all if not for the help I got on here.

Can someone please explain gpw ???

 

[lostnNorcal]

Grams per watt = gpw

If your using a 1000 watt grow light and you harvest 1lb off it your gpw is 0.448.
Take your grow light wattage and divide it by the total grams.

So 1000 divide by 448 grams equals 0.448 gpw

Can someone please explain gpw ???

This is for flower wattage right ?? I will have to make an effort to see what my gpw is this next harvest ... We are going on dry weights not just cut as well I assume?

Yes it's normally just the wattage used in flower and dry flower weight.

Although most don't calc total wattage used in veg and flower but you could to get a better idea what's more efficient.
Say if you wanted to compare a grow of 50 clones with a veg of a week compared to a grow if 8 plants that vegged for 6 weeks.
