Hey everyone how are you all
I would like to know what’s the average gram per watt that ppl are doing
I just finished my first grow and I experimented with 8 led lights spider style
4 of 600 watts and 4 of 800 watts so a total of 5600 watts
I just finished weighing and I came up with 14 lb give or take a ounce or two
1.12 gram per light I’m sure with the perfect care which I ran in to all the problems possible Heat / bugs / over feed - but fixed and learned a lot so next one I’m sure I could get to 1.6 to 1.8 Gram per light which would be almost double the hi end of the average is my math good or am I wrong somewhere
Thanks in advance cheers 🍺

Its dumbed down as veg time is not considered but its HPS that good growers get 1gpw from. Old se hps.

New led like you are using are efficient enough to achieve 1.5 even 2.0 gpw.

It’s hard to increase your yield by that much without making drastic changes to your setup. Even though you may have made mistakes along the way it’s doubtful they had a huge impact on the overall yield. I’d expect maybe a 10-15% increase if done right.

By changes I mean high efficiency LEDs and scrog. Using these I get just over 2g/watt.
