Yeah I know it really doesn’t work, the more I look at it your right there are just so many other variablesThis method does not really equal the math for a straight full room at once grow but i always look at it like how many ounces (grams) per month harvested for my perpetual. Individual plant yield can be higher as not all the plants are full sized ar once so they can stretch out a little more.
So really per plant yield and output per month are the metrics for me.
My high average with 2 600 watt lights in a 3.5’x7’ area is 5.5oz per plant and about a pound per month.
The right way.Simple not so simple way... grams per kilowatt hour.
You can do this plant by plant pretty easy I’m gonna track one here in the near future , I may even have the info as I track energy consumption by the day - just to buzzed to ck it out nowThe right way.
Is that a white fly.i gave one of my mate some diatomaceous earth as hes battling them right now.looks very similarAnd this bug he brought in as well I thinkwhat the fuck is it? It’s white and powdery like the mealy bugs and they fly.
Yep that exactly how. Calculate per plant or average per month. X amount of total kilowatt hours equals X amount of total yield. You will get an accurate gram per kilowatt hr.
The whole problem of gpw is it doesn't calculate veg times etc. So by doing it this way you get an honest actual account of total of grams per kilowatt hour.

So for each plant you take the hours spent in the room and multiply the watts of the light by how many hours its on. Say in veg 400w 18hrd a day for 3 weeks. So 400x18x21=151,200 converted to kw hrs. 151.2 kw hrs.But there are different lights in veg and the flower room.
And then there is the fact that every plant is different each time. So many variables to consider.
You should add to that calculating the watts used on AC, heaters, fans, pumps, dehu, humidifier etc.So for each plant you take the hours spent in the room and multiply the watts of the light by how many hours its on. Say in veg 400w 18hrd a day for 3 weeks. So 400x18x21=151,200 converted to kw hrs. 151.2 kw hrs.
Then say 600w flower. For 8 weeks. 600x12x56= 403,200 converted 404 2 kw hrs
Then add them. 403.2+151.2= 551.4 kw hrs.
Say yield is 600 grams. That a little over 1 gpw.
Easier to add up all the lights on a monthly basis. Like 18hrs x 30 days x 400w. Do the same for each room and add them all together and you knkw the total kw hr of light for the every month. Each month just add the yields and calculate.
Hell you could do it on a yearly to get more accurate.
Its easy to do you just have to figure out in which way you want to calculate it.
Absolutely... you can really get down to extreme picture of efficacy of a grow like this.You should add to that calculating the watts used on AC, heaters, fans, pumps, dehu, humidifier etc.
Gives you a better picture of how efficient the system is overall. Brass tacks..
For sure I’ll keep ya postedGood luck in Florida with the spanish genetics ! Show some pics when they are done ! Thanks.
5-7 days got the Spanish genes poppin up ! These are magnum soaked for 24 hrs then straight to soil 100% germination rate off to good start !Good luck in Florida with the spanish genetics ! Show some pics when they are done ! Thanks.
