question about yeilds

[tyler_ hobbyist]

When a company that sells seeds gives you a yeild amount on there website what does that truely mean? Wet weight dry weight? Some say m2 so meter square but some campanys dnt say m2. Like crop kings where true north seeds gives u m2 but is that all weight weight or dry weight and is that weight per plant or per 1000w. Any input on this topic is appricated

Usually they give yields per plant for an outside plant. The g/m2 are grams per meter square of SOG. Yields should be weight at 62% moisture (cured).
Hope this helps,

Thank you very much it really helps

I just finished Bergman White Widow. It advertises height at 32-40 inches (80-120 cm) and yield at 400-500 grams m/2. The height matched mine and I got 407 g m/2 with 600w MH/HPS on a mover.

So, I would describe their high number as the genetic potential of the plant and the low number as minimum to expect for a 1000 W light. My 2c

P.S. Be sure to check and see if it is advertised as indoor or outdoor plant. Makes a big difference,

Is that dry or wet weight

[Flockshot]

Always dry, in the jar weight.

That's really gd lol i wanna know if what the company tells u for yeild is dry or wet? And also what the biggest yeilding strain is for indoors

🌱 I have always taken those estimates with a big grain of salt! I feel like it's better to use them to compare between strains, to get an idea of which ones tend to be higher yielding. Like if one says 150g, and the other says 500g, you know the 500g one is going to be higher yielding on average. But I don't feel like you can trust the numbers themselves. The grower skill and especially the amount of light makes a huge difference in yields, so it would be more helpful if they gave an idea of what yield to expect for the amount of light used, as opposed to how much yield to expect for a particular space. If you're trying to estimate yields indoors, you're better off calculating possible yields based on your grow light than the strain. For example with an HPS, LEC or LED, you can expect about 0.5-1 gram/watt of electricity, and with fluorescents/T5s/CFLs you can expect about 0.25g/watt of electricity used. With a low yielding strain you could expect less, and with a particularly high yielding strain you could expect more. A great environment and good grower skill can make it so you yield even more.🌱
