How about three plants???

thats 4 plants? your havin a laugh eh?
 
in this context, watts are meaningless. 250 watts from what light? T5? Burple Chinese lights? COBs? High end commercial light like Fluence? a light like my Quantum Board at 250 watts at the wall will far, far out perform all the burple lights and many of the commercial ones also. And still, the power of the light is less than half of the equation. genetics, growing medium, organic soil or bottled nutes, brand of nutes, water quality, ph, temperature, RH, and airflow to name a few, can all affect final outcome. I've got a tent packed full of big plants right now. But my lack of experience with plants this size is costing me bud. I'm guessing I'll end up with 12 ounce from the three plants, when I figure 18 ounces is what I would have got with more plant training/defoliation.

on average: ( average not peak )
250 watts T5 : .4 gpw
250 ( true ) watts burple led: .6 gpw
250 watt HPS: .6 gpw

Top quality commercial LED: 1.5 gpw

DIY and commercial COB lighting: 1.4 gpw

But to hit even 1 gpw, everything must be right and stay that way the entire grow




Do you think GPW is reasonable to gauge a person's progress with autoflowers?
I would be tempted to say no.
What do you all think?

Here's one that says it's only 40-100g per plant: https://www.seedsman.com/en/sugar-gom

I wonder if you put it under a 250w (at the wall) and did everything right, do you think someone could get ~250g off of it? It would be interesting.

This is the reason I deleted that post minutes after posting.
