I am curious as to what people are pulling off their lights. How many grams do you harvest for how many watts of light used. Obviously lots of factors make things different. Feel free to list any details about your findings. Kind of Light is key to understanding ratio. All answers will interest someone.

Might want to check your figures, 1 pound of darlins net is 448 grams, thats only 1.4222 grams per watt. And I used 315 watts to figure that but your are prob pulling close to 340 watts or more with it. My 315 cmh pulls 358 watts at the wall. Regardless them are some decent numbers you are pulling.

Nice maye Nice, do you have a link to them light your using, I was thinking of getting cob lights 2 in a 4x4 but their 250 watt watch, if your getting them results I'll rather try the lighs your using and save that money in electric.

And what is buds selling? Thats new to me

Budswelling is pinching all the buds on your plants in flowering week 3/4 .

Ow Right, I remember years ago before i grew or knew anything about growing, my mate would grow, he use to grab the top main colas and twist it slightly to hear the stalk make a cracking noise, that was like 6-7 of week flower tho..
I always though it was load of crap maybe it is , but now your also saying similar might be some science behind it,
Do you have a link for why and how that bud swelling works, I'm not knocking tour buds look huge so your doing something wright, but I find it hard to believe in bud swelling sound harsh, but iv not read why or how its works so obviously I would think this lol :)

Thanks for the light link, I'll out soon.

hey well i read about it also and thought why not try it! i have done some diaries trying to compare it.
But it's hard to find real evidence if it works or not .
here is a link to a previous diary i tried to compare it with 2 of the same plants one doing budswelling on the other not.

So i decided to do it everytime and i think it works.
Well i take of a little bit of every bud on the plant not only the top buds but all the buds you find on plant.
i just pinch an piece of with my fingers but you can use siccors also but it takes a long time.
in this diary i show it with siccors and fingers

Looking now and looks like 2 little heads heads/foxtail in this pics well most of them lol.
Now you got me thinking that when you top or squeezed a node in veg it produces more heads, and it almost looks like you pinched the bud now its produces do heads on the buds if you get me lol just thinking that alone make me already think maybe it does work. Ill do it to one of NY 4 plants in about 2 weeks and update you and pics..

well on the Chiquita banana it made a big difference and on the Royal goriila close to no difference.
So in my opinion it works better on sativa's and making there buds more compact structure like indica .
But that me just trying to compare wut it's not exact science but hey if it does not kill the plants it only can make them stronger.
And if you pinch the plants i think it will defend itself and read about more Thc Production also or more trichomes due to the stress.
So i'm conviced it works if you see what i i'm getting as result in my small tent .

I hope my diaries can be an inspiration because everything i'm doing i learned from looking at diaries and reading forums like you.
So i so happy with my grows i want to share my story.
