And why do you think if you put more money per G you will finish with better quality ? My expenses are close to 0.22 per G , and i dont lack yield or quality . Maybe cant compare with indoor bc i grow light-dep, but i am getting same price as the people using ‘‘magic fertilizers’’ like Bloombastic , or buying new media every grow . From those 0.28$ , 80% are going on hand trimming , thats the only thing that we dont want to cut from expenses …

55+30=85 right?
My point just is that we produced both in one licensed grow area. Most legal grows I’ve seen enclose just the permitted canopy area, which doesn’t allow for crop rotation (unless more enclosed spaces are added as an afterthought). Also it’s around 15-20% cheaper to enclose a single 100,000 sq ft plot with fencing than to enclose two 50,000 sq ft plots due to less fencing material, gates, and labor required. Crop rotation has other money saving benefits as well, from reduced pest, weed, and disease pressure to lower costs of green manure vs fertilizers and/or compost.
Cheers!
I guess you count production of sq. ft. per year . Because average from 55g per sq. ft. and 30g per sq.ft. is 85/2 = 42.5g .
Watts x m2 while not perfect equation gives a great estimate. So if we take the recommended minimum 50w per sq ft. Then multiply that into m2 we have a expetant yield number.
I love the seed bank numbers they give. Lol 600 grams indoor 150 outdoor. That’s why I brought up the biomass thread a.while back.
If you want to talk yield. Then you need to talk biomass.
I’ll just leave this here
I think there are a lot of different things to measure and just as many ways to measure them. Grams per watt is great if you want to know how about your electricity bill and operational costs. I might also want to measure grams per man-hours if I’m looking to know more about how automation might make my grow more labour efficient. You could measure grams per DLI if you want to know how to make the most efficient use of your light.
All of the European cultivators operating under Good Manufacturing Practices are using the chemical yield of the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient they’re most interested in.
There is a lot of work being done to diversify and single out specific characteristics in cannabis. A lot like traditional breeding, where you’ve maybe got an idea for a flavor you’re trying to create, or a branch structure that supports large buds without trellises, but now they’re running lab tests single alongside every observation. On top of finding all the great sight, smell and taste we can do on our own, now we can also find that 1 in 100 plant every single time. And breed it to be what they need it to be in about 3 generations. Then keep a crop to stabilize, faster than ever before thanks to having lab tests to back up your intuition, that you can reverse and self to produce a stable progeny. Plant those from seed for every flowering crop and you get seed vigor, hybrid vigor and you should have a very consistent crop of identical plants if you do it right. And starting from seed is about 50 times cheaper than cloning.

Its just there is no real standard. Mostly due to difference in growers, lights, nuets, and genes. As well as growing locations. Best we can hope for is a minimum equation as a base line reference. For minimum target that is shareable across all variations and locations
