How much MJ can you grow on one plant? A pound.

I'm sure the possibilities are endless but from experience when I was working in the medical mj biz we were averageing 4 oz a plant that was with fiming and growing up into a net but I'm sure if you lst a plant and veg it longer I'm sure you can get a pound or more a plant depending on strain

I can only say, "you are a god" if you can get that amount!
Please send a blessing to a guy named Bubba, (yes that's my real nickname, and got it from friends making fun of my southern drawl) on the Left Coast of the US.

A little grow room math.
I have two 600 W lights for flowering and I made individual scrog screens to go under those lights. Four screens per light. 7- 10 gallon pots. Each screen is 19"x24" and produces between 3-5 ounces. Average is a little under 4 ounces. So about a pound per light per flowering with four plants.
That's not a particularly amazing yield and I'm not growing high yield strains anyway- more focussed on quality and sativa strains.
5 ounces is about 1 gram per watt so that's considered good. Like I said- I usually get less than that.
My point is that you definitely don't need a six foot plant to produce that much. If I was getting one gram per watt consistently I'd be getting 1 and 1/4 pounds per light each round.
Each set of four screens covers a space 48"x38". That's 2/3 of a sheet of plywood in size per 600w. My entire growing space including veg room and two flowering lights is less than 1 and 1/4 sheets of plywood in surface area.
A one pound or more plant should be reasonably easy to do if you have space and time. It's been done before thousands of times. No different really than growing multiple smaller plants for the same yield. It doesn't work out so well in my grow because I do a perpetual harvest. I don't have room in veg to grow a one pounder and still keep all the other strains going that I like to run. And I don't really want to have to carry a 30 or 40 gallon potted plant from the veg room into the flowering room. Just personal logistics. It's easier to deal with smaller ones. More than 15 gallons and they can get difficult to carry around and stuff.Last edited by Weasel; 01-29-2017, 04:47 AM.

Grams per watt (use actual draw watts) isn't an exact measurement because it doesn't factor in time. But it's still very useful. .5 gpw is decent for a beginner. 1 gpw is kind of the upper limit/gold standard, and obviously it's possible to go higher than that but 1 gpw should make anyone happy.
That makes it easy to calculate potential yield based on your lighting.Last edited by Weasel; 01-29-2017, 06:22 PM.
