does anyone REALLY get 1 GPW?

Ok I gotta know Am I an Idiot or what????????
I have always read that you should be yielding 1 Gram per watt. I have 6K watts burnin for 60 days and just got 4500 Grams dry now damm it I have a completely controlled grow room! I dont know what I can do to make it better!

anyway the reason for this Thread is I WANT THE TRUTH!!!!!!! I can handle the truth!!!!!!

Is 1 GPW bullshit or what??????

What do you yield?? BE HONEST!!!!!!!!

well, ill be honest....

compared to you i am a novice.... i'm only on my second grow (600w - 2 plants)................ill post the outcome later.

But with my first grow, i used 188 watts in cfls, and yielded 70 grams (1 Plant) ...so thats like a tad less than 1/2 gram per watt...oh well, im happy with that seeing how i was a virgin grower...

I can only speak for myself. My yield is close to smokedoja's I get just over half a gram per watt.

I guess if you have an awesome setup and some great genetics to work with you could yield that. But that isn't the case here...lol

if you make use out of all a spherical 360 degrees around the bulb... i believe it is possible. one hanging bulb in the middle. dozens of plants below, on the side and towards the top of on all angles, and you rotate each plant....like a 360 degree see of green. possibly. or in a stadium setup with the right strain maybe.

my yield this time, since i only had 2 plants that vegged for 4 weeks... ~140 grams for 800 watts....not bad per plant... but i need more!! to make better use of my lights. Im prepared this time, i got a veg room full of clones and got some 3 foot tall plants from seed, showing preflowers all female. lolololol

Nope I tried that! Look at the pics! Never hit it. I ran the system 3 times best yield was .31 GPW using Big bud. It those systems you need to keep the plant really small. I had 96 plants in that thing with 2k watts.

I have been using this Bigbud strin for about 3 yrs now in all types of systems. This last time calculated out to about 540 Grams per sq meter the breeders advetize (for what thats worth) it do yield 500 to 600 G per meter. So I think we are in the ball park here.

Jorge Cevantes SAYS (For what he is worth!)one Gram per watt I remember guys on OG too bragging about 1 GPW I now believe they are full of shit!

Thats just my opinion I may be wrong!

wow, very nice, exactly what i had in mind. i would of thought that could of done the trick....
