KC Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 With the amount of heating I use (hid or led) I'd be lucky to hit 0.0001 g/w 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildaveham Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 It should be the total amount of energy used in watts (all electrical equipment) and the total in grams of DRY bud you end up with. This would probably mean that no one would be hitting upwards of 1g per watt and where is the bragging rights in that? If we just use the light wattage in the calculation we are lying to ourselves. I stopped weighing my harvests a while ago, I grow enough, cheaply enough to never have to buy weed from a dealer. That’s a calculation I can get on with! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratdog Posted October 1, 2023 Share Posted October 1, 2023 yeah, gpw is bollocks, i have hit just over 3 before if you don't include my heat mat, air heater, extraction fan, circulation fan, fan controller... it's a nice gauge to make sure you are in the right direction, but not a fair comparison on people living in cold climates compared to warm ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHatDriver Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 I also stopped weighing mine awhile back and I'm miles away from 2gpw and not even close to 1.6gpw. I'm nowhere near that - 3gpw, hope we where not using the same calculator - christ! Back when I did weigh mine (autos), I got 1.1, now on Fems things are definitely bigger, so maybe 1.2 now but took a month longer. If I wasn't messing about, snapping stems and the like, maybe 1.3 - 1.4 at a push if I get everything right, who knows. I get the gram per watt is just a guesstimation as we all have different set ups and our own style of growing, so yeah every piece of leccy used would have to be taken into account. Not really worth comparing with other people grows, as I don't use any heating. I have enough trouble keeping the damn space cool. Keeping a check now and again for your own setup maybe useful but I remember my previous grows and things have steadily been getting better. PPFD just getting results relating to what size led for the space but yeah, forget it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me it stopped when I started growing, 1st grow in my 60x120 totally trained horizontal brought my 360g, in the scum bags equation that would be a lot and I'm.luck if it cost me not much an oz when I checked the difference in electric bills to the time I wasn't growing. Scum bag then got in touch hey "mate" I've no seen you for a few weeks.. huh "mate" that was a 1st anyway I told him he wasn't needed anymore as ive a "friend" who moved over from Spain and they're using the house they rent to grow... he says I'll buy it off ya, told the scumbag it's expensive for a gram and top shelf cali weed too let's just say I never heard from the cunt in 3yr and good riddance.

Thats a bad move. He now knows you’re at least 1 person removed from knowing a grower. He’s going to start asking folk assuming you move in similar circles. Never get in to the meat of a story with people who can’t be trusted. “Not seen you. What yer doing for bud”. “I’ve cut down” “I’m getting it cheaper from a work mate” Anything but mention knowing someone who trusts you enough to show you their grow and sell some of it to you. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Fields Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) The darknet is the best cover story for stuff like that these days. I actually started buying off the darknet for about 6 months before I started growing again. Was a way better experience than dealing with the people I used to deal with.

MySoulIsMine Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) I pay 250 energy per month, and get 7 - 8 oz a grow, cheaper than the dealer thats for sure and better quality than any weed I have bought by miles. thats with a 350 led and a 250w hps (running 24/7 purely for heating) Edited October 5, 2023 by MySoulIsMine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny killerZ Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I grabbed some white haired dealer smoking air trash the other week. It's either shitty pheno 6 week stardog or newbie crop shite that's like smoking air lung destroyer. Never ever again. It's exspensive being a weed consumer, especially if you buy airbud that does nothing. It feels like you've been robbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Military Grade Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 @lildaveham Maybe he means adding the weight of trim and trim related produce to the total G per watt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildaveham Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 @kc stoner @Military Grade As mentioned in my previous post I think the GPW is pointless (maybe useful to see if any changes to your grow improve yield). However if I were to use the calculation I would include all the electrical equipment used throughout the grow. So I suppose in that vein I would include the weight of any hash/oil in the calculation not trim though as I don’t vape that. I used to see hash/oil as a bonus to having buds but now it’s a consideration in every grow as to how I can trim the buds to get the best return in hash/oil. I hope that answers your question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
