Average yield per gallon under leds?

Hi all, I've found this on another forum, and I was wondering if its the same numbers under leds? Anyone?
And how it relates to watt per gram? Obviously, I wont hit the 1w/g yield if I have a plant in a 1gal container under a Hans panel or a A51, but I might if its in a 5gal or 10gal pot... but then, whats the minimum pot size to achieve this? 5,7,10?




One of the questions I hear most from new growers is "How much does container size effect yield?" ... "Can I yield a pound in a 5 gallon bucket?"...

As we all know, yield depends on a myriad of things - soil, sun, water, genetics, etc. All that taken into consideration, I have noticed some average yields from different container sizes when given good conditions.

1 gallon container = half ounce yield
2 gallon container = 1 ounce yield
5 gallon container = 2.5 ounce yield
7 gallon container = 4 ounce yield
10 gallon container = 5-6 ounce yield1
20 gallon container = 10+ ounce yield
100 gallon container = 50 ounce yield

These aren't guaranteed yields. Just an average of what you can expect from different container sizes under good conditions. You can yield less or more depending on your experience level and genetics of your plants. Obviously, the 7 gallon and under containers would be best suited for indoor and 10+ are more geared for outdoor growing.

Depends on strain, nutrients, media, environment and light. I've personally seen in a 5gal. Any where from 2 - 9 zips.

My 5 gals only have 3.5 gal of soil in them so that is another factor, but I get 2.5 zip from an good 9 week OG from that bucket under optimal conditions.

theres way more factors in determining yield than just the pot it is in. light,nutes,media,strain, training...etc . my dro plants yield more than dirt of the same strain almost always. the plant under my main light grows biggest, sativas usually yield more.
