sorry to bust your bubble but 1 kwh is 1000 watts so u used about 980 watts a dayI flowered one mother and a clone for my first ever grow. I used a cheap $60 light off of Amazon for growing. My energy usage was .98 kWh per day, and I flowered for 12 weeks. Total harvest for both plants was 44g + 11g from the clone.
(.98 kWh per day * 90 days)/ 55g total harvest = 1.6 g per W?
that seems like a lot. I thought it was usually around .5g per W
sorry to bust your bubble but 1 kwh is 1000 watts so u used about 980 watts a day
0.98kwh/12h = 0.081kw = 81.6w
55g/81.6w = 0.674 g/w
With grams per watt, days are usually irrelevant but if a 8 week flowering is ideal and you took 12 then 0.674 / (12/8) = 0.45 equivalent if you went 8 weeks u would need more watts ect.
LOL that's some serious stoner math.I flowered one mother and a clone for my first ever grow. I used a cheap $60 light off of Amazon for growing. My energy usage was .98 kWh per day, and I flowered for 12 weeks. Total harvest for both plants was 44g + 11g from the clone.
(.98 kWh per day * 90 days)/ 55g total harvest = 1.6 g per W?

NP lol I did it wrong at first then I noticed it was kwh "per day"there’s the right calculation. Thank you
You should be using the dried and fully manicured weight for the best comparison.People probably differ a bit but what weight figure would you be using for the most correct Gram per Watt comparison?
All buds with sugar leaves but no fan leaves or, what part of trim weight are people including?
Thanks for clarifying :-)You should be using the dried and fully manicured weight for the best comparison.
That's the right attitude. Stay hung up on nice, healthy plants. As you get better, your plants will naturally get better, and have better yields. Also remember that high yields have a lot to do with genetics also. I raise high yielding, high THC plants. I only use those genetics because my space is rather limited these days. (I also happen to have a high tolerance). The exception is right now I have a crop of GG#4 in a scrog. Not super high yielding, but man are they sticky and strong.Thanks for clarifying :-)
I was only going to count the fully manicured buds, I'm not to hung up on high yield per watt on my first grow, I want to trim/manicure to only leave the best as buds and then make hash from whatever trim there is and add that as a separate figure.
Now I just need to get something to harvest
0.98kwh/12h = 0.081kw = 81.6w
55g/81.6w = 0.674 g/w
With grams per watt, days are usually irrelevant but if a 8 week flowering is ideal and you took 12 then 0.674 / (12/8) = 0.45 equivalent if you went 8 weeks u would need more watts ect.
Be excited, but in the future, save yourself headaches and only grow known genetics. I have done it years ago, until one grow I stopped. I grew a beautiful plant, wonderful smell, big buds. Thought I was on to something. Except it didn't get me high. What a waste of time.I by no means think I know what I’m doingbut it has been fun for this first grow and I’m excited to try growing an auto in a def bucket next, to switch it up. This was a seed that my sister had in her grinder for god knows how long do i don’t know the strain or anything about it. I was just happy it sprouted at all
