I wish questions could be more verbose, and that it was possible to reply to proposed answers to grower questions...
I'll just do it here:
This is how I've been doing it:
I wait to do the dry weight until it is fully dry and de-stalked. I only weigh the smoke-able flowers and the stems within them, though I do like to leave at least an inch of stalk as a "handle."
When inputting harvest data, I've just been putting the total light in the garden. But I put the actual number of square feet that the 2 or 3 or however many plants required. That gave me wonky/skewed wattages per plant numbers..and thereby, grams per square feet numbers.
But now I'm thinking this is better:
Lights: Total light wattage divided by number of plants in that particular diary
Grow Room: Only the actual space the plants in that particular diary required
For example, if my total wattage is 1010w, and I have 13 plants sharing that light, it would be 78w per plant. If there are 3 plants in the diary, then that would be 78w x 3 = 234w
Right??
Or, maybe it would be better to just count the total wattage of light directly over the plants included in a diary?
For example, I have bar lights spaced about 4 inches apart...each bar being a total of 85w.
3 plants are getting direct light from 3 bars, for a total of 255w...which seems closer to the truth.
