I hope i get this right please be nice if i dont.


Ok so iam on my 2nd grow

my first grow was 3 plants under 1 600watt hps

I got 14oz = 396 grams = 0.66 grams per watt

Thats 4.6 oz per plant

Now my 2nd grow the plants are much much bigger and i have 15 ov them

If i use the 1gram per watt rule is max you will get

1200grams = 42oz divide by 15 plants = 2.8oz

Now looking at my plants i can say there is going to be more then 2.8oz dry per plant
(maybe more)
I say about 4oz = 113 grams x 15 = 1695grams

So thats 1.4grams per watt,

Have i got this wrong?

Sounds reasonable. Just so you know, there is no "1 gram per watt" rule. 1gpw is just considered the measure of a reasonably good grow.

your math is fine. the 1 gm per watt is not an absolute limit it is a reasonable goal for an experienced grower. that said, and trying to be kind as requested, i wonder if your bud may be a wee little bit wet when you weigh it.

gah lol, my mind hurts. But that doesn't really matter.

What really matters is there are too many variables to determine a watts to grams ratio. I know we all want some x + 1 = y deal, but its not that easy. X could get too much water this time around, X might be a bad seed, X may just have some minute change happen to it. Too many variables. There's just no way to get such a ratio, even if its dependent entirely on just your setup. That's like saying that a clone is the EXACT same plant as the mother. In theory, its true, its the exact same plant. But that doesn't mean you are going to get the EXACT same plant. Only under the exact same conditions you would, but common sense provides us that that just won't happen.

No its not wet when i weigh it.

my first grow i only got 0.66gram per watt
My plants are holding more then 2.8oz dry
iam cutting them down soon so ill keep this Thread updated with my dry weight
If i hit 4oz per plant ill be very happy

There are exactely 2 variables involved: 1. How many dry grams were yielded. (divided by) 2. How many watts of lighting was used. It is that simple!

Theory my ass ! A clone is, IN FACT, the same plant. The growing conditions that you expose it to are a different matter.

If you change growing conditions, midway, on any plant - the results will be "different". In other words, a healthy, "happy", plant can be turned into "droopy" mess, very quickely. Same plant - different conditions!
