Doesn't look like you suck at growing, just a slight hiccup maybe.That’s awesome. I suck at growing. Never really started learning View attachment 860958 till recently. I was in a different part of the industry for a long time. This is the end of my last run.
Unless you veg longer...that is the other problem with grams per watt. Unless every parameter is the same it is really a lot dependent on grow style, experience and strain.
I grew malawi X panama and i will grow 1 or 2 in my 4 x 4. The GPW will suck but wow is that an amazing strain. It might do better indoors but both plants would probably get 6 oz in my 4 x 4 with a 315 CMH or 300 watts of Quantum boards
I grew critical mass and it tastes great. I bet it will get a crazy GPW because of the bud density. I will get 5 to 8 oz from 3 critical mass with 200 watts of timber vero.
So many variables mess with that metric for measurement.
I run 750 watts of DE HPS in a 4x8 and I can pull a kilo from it also. quality shouldn't have to mean less production.I sort of think the GPW thing is a bit overrated for home gardens. Commercially sure, it matters, at home all I care about is quality. $50-$75 more on power per grow cycle doesnt mean much to me.
I run my HPS lamps about 750w half of flower and 1000w the rest in an 8x8. An average crop is about 3.5lb so .75gpw-1gpw.
There is no doubt the lamps arent as efficient as LED but I also utilize the heat from them most of the year so it's not really wasted electricity.
750 DE HPS is a lot different than 750 HPS. I also turn around crop cycles in 2.5-3 months for that yield using basic promix. They only veg for about 3 weeks before flip.I run 750 watts of DE HPS in a 4x8 and I can pull a kilo from it also. quality shouldn't have to mean less production.View attachment 860960
I use the metric of actual cost per pound produced which includes everything but my labor.Yep, a more accurate measurement would be dividing the total kilowatt hours used for every piece of equipment for the entire grow cycle by your yield.

Without labor I'm between $7.50 - $8 a ounce running the LED's. Biggest advantage of LED's is I no longer half to run my mini-split in the summer.Same here. Only I do it by ounce and it works out to about $10-$15 per ounce to produce dependi g on the strain. The commercial guys I know are closer to $30 per oz for black market pot including labour costs. The LPs are closer to $2.50 per gram indoor, less than a dollar greenhouse.
Only difference is I run coir. 3 weeks veg from rooted cutting 63-70 days flowering, my room is a 8x12 750 watts DE on one side and 540 watts of LED's on the other side for the winter months. In summer I split my LED's up and run 270 watts on a flip which gets me a pound a month production rate.

You will though as the prices are dropping fast, but I've always been that way coming from a AG family with cost of production vs profits from farming.Very respectable cost per ounce. I just try not to get too hung up about overall cost as long as its reasonable. I find the whole gpw thing to be a bit pointless and largely irrelevant on a small scale. It's like comparing penis size... More to do with bragging rights than anything. The difference between $8 per ounce and $10 or $15 even is kinda silly in the grand scheme of things.

Howdy neighbor, in prohibition land also, just to the left of you :)...I'd gladly pass you some cuts, but your probably not in my neck of the woods as I live in prohibition land in Indiana.
On the way to work this morning I saw a dispensary sighn “$3 grams” figure that one out fellas?
If Ill, then at least you have Medical. I'm about 40 miles east of Hoopeston. This states Governor already stated no Medical till declassified by the Fed's.Howdy neighbor, in prohibition land also, just to the left of you :)...
There is medical but no growing your own. And good luck getting a card. I have had 6 major surgeries including open heart surg. and i dont qualify...If Ill, then at least you have Medical.
