Question to all 1000 hps users

[PEOPLEZ]

What is the highest yields dry weight can u get from a 1000 Watt hps?
I heard someone harvest 3 pounds dry weight using only one 1000 hps which I think is BS but can it be possible?

rule is 1000w= 1000grms, but really 1/2 gram a watt is standard for most growers. So if you get a nice pound or more you're doing great

 

[PEOPLEZ]

Is that off of one tree alone?

can be?

I love these questions its so open to variable factors



Strain/genetics - Some may have the potential to yield higher than others.

Was plant training involved topping, lst, scrog ?

How many plants where grown under the 1000w ?

Hydroponics DWC/ebb & flood, NFT dripper or soil ?

How long was the plant vegged for ?


On average 15 to 20 plants in a hydroponic system often delievers 2lb dry weight, these plants are often untrained.

4 to 6 plants trained scrog method can almost achieve the same.


Its all about how you grow 'n' technique, watch 'n' observing 'n' changing tactics to enhance yield

Well to obtain 3lb dry weight you need an aprox 12lb wet weight of bud... ya mind blowing ain't it


Aprox 70% of the plant is water which is lost during the drying 'n' curing process !

May have slight variables due to strain/gentics tho... but thats a pretty much a hardcore FACT.

sorry to butt in on this question but when you say 1/2 gram a watt, is that wet or dry weight?

He probably means dry weight. Thats about average for most people.

thanks

So only one tree can produce 3 pounds dry weight by using only one 1000 Watt hps?

lol he said wet. reread his statement

 

[PEOPLEZ]

I did read it and he said... in order to get 3 dry u need 12 pounds wet.

lol, mybad I need to reread it.
Best you can get is 2 pounds, I haven't got there yet. I have had a pound from a 1000w, also weed strains play a big roll on yield

pic in my avatar is the one I got a pound from

Hey fuzzy....
Lets just say u order some seeds and u read the info on that particular seed. It says the plant is indica/sativa mix. The plant is short medium. The yield is 400/m2+. What would that mean to u. Is it saying that one seed can produce 400 grams?

When yield is stated by 400g/m2, that is often referred by growing SoG method (sea of green)... unfortumaly they don't tell you how many plants produced that 400g ? - could be any where between 9 to 36 plants per m2

I would also assume that is dry weight tho, but not totally sure ?

 

[PEOPLEZ]

What do the m2 mean?

 

[Fuzzy Duck]

What do the m2 mean?

Meter Squared an area of 100cm by 100cm or known as m2 for short

 

[PEOPLEZ]

100 cm is what in inches?
