Hi, im wondering how all you guys are getting on with your return. How much per plant, i know different strains have different yields. Im after wondering the best growing system for return on yields.
Dabbie is right, but let me add this. If you are doing things right you should be able to pay off your equipment with just one grow. I fucked up my first tent grow and still got a quarter pound.

old thread, but I just harvested and cured to a constant RH in jars. 310grams, in a 2x4 space, 2month veg, 10 weeks flower, under Mars Hydro tsl-1000 which supposedly draws 300watts at the wall, 4 plants were grown in 3gal pots. I feel like I had around 75% canopy filled considering the space I had left at harvest.

That's a pretty good. I'm sure with the right strain and technique, you can do even better. IMO anything over 1/2 pound in a 2x4 is a success. One pound is a home run. I get my best relative yields by topping twice, and scrog. I flip at 30 days from sprout for best yield. I top around day 12 and 20.
Grower A: runs 4 600w lights with 12 plants and produces 2500 grams per run
Grower B: runs 4 1000 w lights and 8 plants and produces 3500 grams per run
Grower C: runs 6 400w lights with 38 plants and produces 2000 grams per run.
Now how do we compare A B and C they have different lights, different plant counts. So to do so we generate our GpW "grams per watt" which is simple math of total gram yield divided by total watts. When we do that math you can see the actual efficiency of each grower
Grower A: 2500g ÷ 2400w = 1.04GpW
Grower B: 3000g ÷ 4000w = .75GpW
Grower C: 2400g ÷ 2400w = .83GpW
Now you can see which grower is the most efficient in there production.
How ranges I would say are as followed
New - novice .3 - .7GpW
Novice to average .5 - .9 Gpw
Avg to above avg .8 - 1.5 GPW
Above figuers are for SE/DE HPS. I would say it is safe to say with LED lights your GpW tends to increase by about .4 - .7 GPW. My current GpW with my LED are aprox 1.7 - 1.8 GpW. Hope this helps.
