What is your criteria for a successful grow? Grams per watt?

I look for a 1 gram a watt return since I have a small indoor grow setup with limited plants. I have gotten up to 1.3 grams per watt. I have tried bloom boosters and while they do something to the grow, I dont think the time and money spent justifies it. What chemicals am I adding to get a better yield and at what expense. I am the consumer.
 
Howdy! My measurement of a successful run is when I got to them before the bugs did. 🤣

Chemicals and additives aren't going to change your yield and growth very much at all, that boils down to light and water. But they'll offer potential for higher quality and better plant health. Don't waste your time on yield boosting products. Just train your plant branches good and make sure it's got ample room for roots you'll get good yield.

But I have a question... I'm an outside grower and not hung up on the grams per watt thing. But when yall figure out those calcs are you going by the light output or total power consumed for the grow? Because if you are running a strain with a 12 week finish vs 10, that significantly changes the cost and amount of energy used. Just curious.

Edit: I guess my question is do you all do this Calc based on the watts of your light or kilowatts of the whole grow? Cause the latter is what really hits your wallet.
 
Great smoke with minimal effort for me. Having to buy new medium every grow is what broke me. 15 cycles later I'm in the same living soil I was in 2019, adding a bit of compost and some cheap dry amendments every cycle or so.
 
Success is not having to go to the dispensary.
I have spent about 2300 on growing pot. I have grown cured and smoked 16 oz of my own pot.
Pot today is 170 a lid. 16 oz is around 2700 bucks.
And I got 10 in the tent and 15 more seeds to plant.

But I had to go to the dispensary last week so still on the fail scale.
