basic grams per watts

Your half right!




Your getting there! Read the following..

I say the GPW thing is really useless.

Look at it this way.
Growing method is the real key. SOG kills gpw!

Taking different light strengths and different size grow area's, including different growing styles.
You can produce as much as 4.35 grams per watt. This was done in a 2x2 ebb. It ran 4 inch Rockwool cubes and had 35 plants in it.
High yield strain and each yielded an average of 32 gr. 250 watt HID, plants flipped at 8 inch's.

Now up to a 4x4 and 64 plants in soil and 1 gallon pots (Plant Warrior pots)
600w HID
Same flip size, same yield average.
3.4 gpw

Grams per watt is basically meaningless...

Yes sir's! It took several dial in's to do this.....It can be done.

You should see what a rotating garden can do!
4 inch Rockwool cubes and had 35 plants in it? In a 2x2? 32gr each? 24x24=576/16(4inx4inch)=36 :o?
Pics please.

just about everybody else who also cares about space and time and plant numbers? Duh
Its a grow space, its for growing...plant numbers sure... time...your time is always more valuable when you spend it getting high numbers...

After my max out ill do an extreme training grow tie all my plants down to the ground...do it again...

See I can't imagine that actually being worth it unless you had other factors in play, like being down for a few months a year. I like to assume the best about people. I'm assuming that you are a very good grower who works in a place where you can control the environment and I don't see that being worth it. I don't believe any 3 gpw BS mind you. But I am happy to give you 2 gpw if you like, still doesn't make sense.

I dont grow for money anymore, other then to spend less on weed.

I make full melt, oils rosin...run seeds test equipement ....i have fun.

To get 3gpw im going to need co2, but i have some other tricks as well.

Wait till you see me feed 1500ppm from clone to finish, well 2k last 3 weeks.

The missing one was for the flood depth drain and the straight drain...

I wish I could, the problem? This was done almost 20 years ago (we never chanced taking pics, one leak and your toast!). Now I am constricted with legal # limits. Back then it was straight on against the law.
The testing of both the 2x2 and the 4x4 tent were done in what is now a closed operation. It was in an old tool and die shop building. This was for the remoteness (smells - control in house and exhaust out the roof stack's) and for the high electric consumption (Did not raise questions on electrical use). You have high ceilings and many had in house AC, or simple to control heat.

Old factories (Machine, tool & Die, mold making shops and plating plants) make excellent choices for Gorilla operations.

The strain was G-13, high yields made it perfect... I have seen some early auto strains do about the same yield/ for size of plant.

Shit man, you should see what a rotating garden unit can do, GPW wise. Kills what I did back then!

Sea Of Green sport! SOG!

The right strain and the proper use of space, including environmental management. All there is to it!

a rotating garden unit
Dr.
When you refer to a rotating garden, do you mean something like a platform that moves the plants around, in lieu of light movers?

I had a brainchild of this one time, never followed up with any research....

2.4 pounds in a 2x2 with a 250 hps? I find this hard to believe.
It took 3 runs to get it there.
2 different strains tried.

SOG really can surprise you.

It was a set of experiments I (we) did to see what we could really make SOG do.

There is a fellow who does post here from time to time. He perfected and builds/sells a commercial size RDWC system that can make my yields look small!

2.4 pounds in a 2 x 2 tent with any light is hard to believe...close to impossible really...

I am glad i have space. That sounds like PM in a small space LOL....on account of the complete lack of airflow.

10 pounds per 1k HPS....I dont believe it can be done.
