you didnthave all that shipped to your grow spot right?
Why are you so concerned about my security to ask me this TWICE? I'm covered, dont sweat it. Enjoy the equipment and quit sweating so god damn much. I had it shipped directly to the grow "house" as you like to call it, and then I called all of my friends to show off, and then we're gonna have a smoke party with all the neighbors. Of course I took precautions. You dont ask other people if they did, so quit asking me, you think I'm an idiot for some reason which I am confused. Back to the subject at hand......

wow, not sure what to say to that. doesnt 1 gram per watt = 26.6 pounds a year of one single 1000 watt bulb?
Your math is off somewhere. Assuming 60 days per harvest that would be 6.6 Lbs/month (107 grams).

1000 * 0.5 * 6 / 28 / 16 =

That's the math to convert to pounds, just replace the 1000 with how many watts and the 0.5 with how many grams per watt assumed. Some say 1, some say 0.5, some say 0.75, whatever.

correct me if im wrong. but arent watts a bad unit to base your calculations for yield off of? wouldnt lumens or lux be more accurate? ive always been taught that a bulbs lumen/watt ratio fluxuates.

1 gram per watt equals 1000 grams a month off a 1000 watt bulb. 12 monthsx1000grams = 26 pounds

watts are the best way long as you included the unit of time
how? as a bulb gets older the amount of lumens it puts out decreases. with hps its not as bad as mh, but still. in a situation of this magnitude, i would think a slight miscalculation could be really misleading.

also, i just wanted to say that im just spit ballin here. obviously this op is gonna yield big. but can you guys see where im coming from?

it takes at least 8 weeks to grow the 1000 grams. and that's with no veg time. how are you getting this 1000 grams a month? where's the month come in?



"they" say that the pros can yield 1000 grams per watt. this means if you have a 1000 watt HPS and you chose the right strain and setup then at the end of your grow you will yield 1000 grams of dried meds. this is for the whole grow cycle. start to finish. :blsmoke:

it has to be per month. if you dont put a time frame on then i will go veg for 25 months and then bloom and get 15g per watt. thier has to be a time frame, and not 2 months, cause then why not 3 months. the old hightimes that got this method known was grams/per watt / per month

and they would say that the average grower would get .5 grams per month per watt. that is a joke. and that pros would get 1 gram per watt

the plants flower on an 8 week cycle. on average. you can veg clones in a separate room then put them into flower under a 1000 watt light. in 2 months you can measure your yield when your plants are finished. you can divide that in half if you want. unless you have separate rooms it is well into 3 months. figuring in turn around time and veg time.

you can't just veg for 25 months then flower under a 1000 watt. the light will only cover so much area and produce so much bud PER WATT. :mrgreen:


fuck high times, ............... this is rollitup. :hump:




try this........................... a 600 watt light gave me 345 grams. that is equal to 0.575 grams PER WATT.

there is no month.
