A Gram Per Watt? How?

Sorry for taking over the post OP, just don't understand this 1g/per watt conundrum whether its based off lumen output, how many plants you have - enviroment, training techiniques, genetics, equipment used, nutes etc etc

It is based on seven primary factors to achieve maximum plant growth above and beyond choosing the right strain initially;
Proper amount and type of light, (wave length / duration / ect)
Correct amount of moisture / water available to plant,
Correct amount of nutrients being available for plant uptake (would include proper PH),
Correct amount of carbon,
Correct amount of oxygen,
Correct temperature(s) - grow medium /air / day / night,
Growing medium capable of supplying plant support. This would included maintaining correct nutrient content, moisture, oxygen, ect.
Each strain will have varying ideal levels of the above. going above or below each of these "ideals" will result in decreased growth. While being only slightly off will be inconsevable to the human eye, never the less decreased growth will occur. Further more having multiple excesses and/ or deficiencies will often cause a negative compounding effect on the plants growth cycles.

Don't worry about grams per anything, grow, learn, enjoy the fruits of your labour - do that and you are a winner dude.

This is making me question whether or not I'm doing it right.... I'm using a 400w in a 3x3 space. So you're saying I should use a 1000w? But then surely my temps would be waaaaayyyy tooo high for such a small area

If you can figure out a good way to contain the heat you could use a 1000 watt and end up with great results. The girls would soak up all that light

I can't expect a high yield? or hit the 1g per /w mark? OP is suggesting that you need 1000w for a 3x3 space. So I'm confused... Somebody was talking about using 100w per square foot. So in reality I need 900w for my 3x3 space to be able to hit the 1g per /w?

The strain im running atm suggests I should get 525 - 575 per m2? I've lsted/topped mine, check my journal and give a little advice.. :???: I know enviromental factor is the most important thing for yield, everything is dialed in to the optimum 70-75 farenheit, humidity 40-50. Currently at week 3

Don't ever go by what it says the plant will yield that's unlikely it will hit it or close to it every factor has to be perfect, you need to bring your humidity up to 60% and start dropping it 5% a week until your at 40-45%

Actually 8, luck being the last one. Bad luck equals bad grow :(.

It would be almost impossible to control temps without a cool tube hood and an intake fan. Which aren't cheap. Even then I don't think you could control the heat in that space.

You could get a $30 fan at home depot to puah it outside or in another room as long as it's not a far distance as they are not very powerful

1000 watts in a 3x3 is way overkill unless you think you can fit 3 lbs of nug in a 3x3 which is what would end up being a gpw after you controlled heating with the 1100 watts pulled by the bulb and ballast plus whatever ac you're using lol. Good luck with that one. It'd be cool to see, but I've seen 1.6 in a 3x3 and that was insanely crowded. 600 for a 3x3 is about perfect with hid.
