Confused on what to expect for yeilds?

500g/m2 means you can expect 500 grams from a square meter of plantS. A square meter can be any number of plants.
I think that estimate is based on those doing some kind of SOG grow. That's where smaller plants are jammed together
under a net of some kind. Mostly a pro or advanced grower thing.

this is what those numbers mean, but i like to tell new growers not to expect to get any yield, that way even if you yield say an ounce per plant or w/e, you'll be happier then say you were expecting 5 per plant..
and honestly, growing is not as easy as it may seem from the outside, and tons and tons of things effect things like yield, and it's honestly the one dpt i think i still struggle the most with after about 5 years or so of growing now.
i usually don't even pay attention to the numbers put up as honestly, they mostly are a best of type of thing, and like i said, tons of things come into play that can greatly effect yields ime..

I always thought it meant a total of 500 grams including buds and leaf.

The yield of a plant depends on the plant's genetics and how it's grown. Probably the best use of the numbers given for yield is to use them to compare one strain to another. How you grow it will determine the actual yield you get.
Decide on your method (ie sea of green, screen of green, individual plants grown to the biggest size you can accommodate, etc.) and grow your plant(s) the best you can and you will get the biggest yield you can.

no, if someone says that they got 1 gram per watt, which btw is not a very easy thing to do imo, that means if they had 1k of lights, they would get 1000 grams from the entire grow, not one plant..
even .5 gram per watt isn't all that easy at times till you get things dialed down.. that would mean if you used a 400 watter, you'd get 200 grams, dry.. off of the top of my head math that would be about 7 ounces for the grow.. say three or four plants, we're talking about 2 zips per each plants, which isn't crazy numbers, just not as easy as saying plugging in a light and watering some plants from time to time.

If you are going to veg that long indoors, I would seriously consider some type of training be done on the plant. Whether it be LST or scrog. You have a lot of wattage but if that thing becomes a beast, it will be hard to get full usage out of your lights.so essentially veg after certain time will be pointless, my plan was veg for 2-3 months then flower. I have 1600 watts total so should be nice

....If after reading this you're still looking for some sort of fixed number, then you just don't get it.
no I understand it now
hehe just trying to figure veg length etc.......
