I have read an article in HT magazine where a grower was using a 1000w in a 3x3x6 area. That gave him like 111.11 watts per sqft. The intake was a 5,000BTU A/C and an adequate inline exhaust system. He stated that b/c of the high light concentration and adequate ventilation...he was able to produce more bud...says about 2 # every 60 days. Says 25 plants in a SOG.
OKAY. To me, that sounds pretty freakin' good for the size of the space, no?
That is like roughly 700g...not too bad. However, I remember that OG had a grower efficency calculator...basically a g/watt ratio. 700/1000 IS WELL under the 1g per watt that a lot of growers like to push themselves to achieve. But thinking again, a lot of seed companies say so many g per sq. ft can be achieved to measure the yield possibilities. And most companies say HIGH yielders are like 400-500g per square meter indoors. (3x3) So to pull around 700 and ounce per plant +)....is think is good.
Also of note...the SOG is stated as running clones after they have successfully rooted and placing them in 6 in dixie cups and then veg for only 5 days. From there, one gallon grow bags for the rest of the journey. "Trained to be single cola plants"
NOW THE POINT...
Assume you have a small 2x2x5 area w/ a 400w in it. Well, that would be 100w per square ft....given adequate ventilation and A/C intake...is it crazy to say that a # could be grown in such a small space?
Just curious really. I see so many amazing threads here, but I don't ever really see anyone stating the yields... It would be nice to know what people are able to output off a certain wattage...
