Best grams per watt yield using SS

Hi there I am curious to see what kind of yield you guys are pulling with the SS. I hear professional growers on the net hitting 1+gram per watt and I wonder if any of you are flirting with the 1gpw using SS or if 1gpw is for hydro. Thanks

I'm a bit new to SS, only on my third grow with it and still fine tuning it. well fine tuning my grow in general, but my last grow was a .7g/watt grow. This round should be even better.

14 +/- zips with my scrog under a 600mh in a 3x3 tent. I definitley didn't have my envirnment dialed in.

12/12 from seed, using LEDs starting at 200watts peak at 600watts for the last month, 12 zips. That was my first run in the tent(3x3),so just over .5gpw , but considering I didnt veg and that I was using the full 600watts for about 1/3 of the grow, I am very happy with 12zips. I am just wondering if the 1 gpw using SS is for professional or simply unachievable, I am sure the mainliners are getting close to it!!

i have my first grow with SS going right now...i am aiming for .7-8. gram/watt from seed. I think I could totally do a clone run and reach 1g/watt

I didnt know that clones yield better? only because you would grow more of them or clones simply yield higher !?

no, clones dont yield any better. the reason you can obtain a higher gram per watt with clones is the unifrom fat growth...i have a sick pheno in my tent that is swollen, thick as hell, and frosty as shit...i have a couple that are lanky...so if all of them were the fat stinky thick one, i would be crushing this and pulling 18-20oz from a 3x3 tent

For HPS I have seen .5-.75 gr/watt with super soil. But those were grows that were not aiming for yield just quality. Perfectly manicured and dried to 65% rh.

On a small scale I have seen DIY cree/osram LEDs produce 2-3 gr/watt with the same top notch quality.

Yes DIY LED with super soil I have seen 2-3 GPW. As nice as that is they do an even better job at vegging. The prefab lamps are only 15-20% efficient but you can source emitters that are 40-50% for a DIY project.

sorry to hear that buddy the OP swears by them...

inefficient? have you tried them? (I mean recently, not 2 years ago or even last year, did you get ripped off buying some cheap Chinese light on ebay? I sure hope you tried them anyway to say that they are inefficient) I am growing some of the best pot I have ever smoked, big buds too!! Also unless you were to do a crazy ass vertical setup with HPS, LEDs have proven to give better gram per watt ratio (with experienced growers). Not sure why you hate them so much, in the future you will have to give up your HPS, soon or later, it might not be for an LED light but something else anyway.

Some 1000watters results would be great too!! But yeah let's not start a debate LEDs VS HPS because it will get ugly!! haha

After you justify your comment, Lets just keep it to "what is your best gpw using SS''

Happy growing everyone :bigjoint:

There is no debate betwenn LEDS and HPS end of story. If you actually think there is a reasonable arguement than you are a retard.

HAHA, I was being polite, on the other hand, you are being an asshole, I prefer to be a retard and nice to people. I am a hobbyist, I don't have much experience and I grow 12/12 from seed, no veg time, very low power consumption, yet I get some pretty nice nuggies. So, not only you are an asshole, but you are a retard as well, end of the story.

HPS beat LED's all day everyone knows that.. HPS with LEDS as supplemental lighting give good results but nothing beats a HPS at least for now. None the less people grow awesome buds with LEDS

I Get 1.75 lbs per 1000 watt light. How much do you get? "asshole"
