still the fact small milk dud buds .......50 plants should be about 25 to 40 lbs of weed not 500 grams
running a plant that small is against everything i have learned .......i know the thc count and terepene lvls are going to be low compared plants with a larger root mass and more time to do the work
cost of a plant per day is about 60 to 90 cents for me .......we will go with the extreme of 1 dollar day
70 days is 70 bucks per plants with only a 10 gram return on the plant ( at 10 bucks a gram low end u are making 30 bucks per plant )
70 days plant i will make 1100 to 1400 profit for the plant 1 plant of a cost of 70 bucks ....that is with the least amount of effort only watering every other day mixing in feed now and then using super soil (allow me to walk away for a few days and have a trusted person water them so i have a life)
Hey Justugh,
I don't talk dollars and cents like that mate.
I talk grams per what
All yields were for first run, realistic expectation for a new grower.
80 plants at 14 grams a plant is 1120 grams.
Therefore : 1.12 grams per watt
Shit, I was happy with .50 grams per what on my first run.
I was averaging about 21 grams per plant.
Averaged about 80 plants per 1000 watt light.
80 x 21 = 1680g
Therefore : 1.68 grams per watt
Most growers would be happy with that.
3.7 pounds per tray, per 1k light - tray 1m x 2m
With 4 trays and 4 x 1000 watt lights.
You could have 14.8 pounds every 8 weeks.
Plant count of 80 per tray = 320 plants flowering
This method of growing is very scalable and also suitable to a perpetual grow.
Filling one table of 80 plants every two weeks would allow you to harvest a table every two weeks.
So effectively, you would produce 3.7pounds every two weeks. By harvesting a tray and filling it up with clones at the same time. You will have a perpetual grow that is manageable by Spreading out your cloning and manicuring duties. Definitely helps with a larger scale op
Especially when you don't have any "help" to come and water for you.
Yield is up and down
Especially to people new to growing
Sometime it a little higher, sometimes a little lower.
Really depend on how "dialled in" to your op you are.
Consistency with maintenance and good checklist for your environment make the difference.
As far as Thc production,
Trust me, there is no less thc on a plant due to it not being vegged. Thc production is in the flowering cycle.
If you have any literature to direct me to that proved otherwise, I will stand to be corrected.
Otherwise, it's just mambo jumbo.
Simply
I personally dislike the cost per plant rationale.
It simply does not work.
Grams per watt is the only "real effective comparison"
Indefinately
