Yield per square meter

Hi guys! Is the yield per square meter advertised by the seed companies mostly nonsense and is it really down to the grower’s experience? Thanks!

Square meter yield estimates are generated via SOG(sea of green) conditions. Most home growers don't do SOG though either due to plant limits or the hassle of caring for so many plants and the problems overcrowding them tends to bring. Also a plant's output can vary drastically if it's grown indoor or outdoor. Of course experience can matter too, both overall and over time as you work more with the same strain. I use their numbers to compare a strain's average yield but that's basically it.

Don't trust anything they say, lol... it's at best a best-case-scenario description and at worst utter bullshit purely to get people to click "buy." ambient co2, 540g is a good target. Method matters a little bit but as long as canopy properly fills the space, it mostly depends on your light. Not ever getting there without enough light. That is 50g/sq foot for the americans, liberians and whatever people from myanmar are called, lol. Some people measure from their taint on this stuff. I don't include larf weight and shoot for 1.5g/w. While my lights are not the most efficient on the market, they are in the top few percentile at 2.8-2.9umol/J. This metric is heavily influenced by the efficacy of the light used. Lower efficacy lights should shoot for proportionately less grams/watt. if you have ~900 umol/s of well-distributed light per m^2, a well-distrubuted and filled canopy, and at least a loosely controlled environment, it should be attainable with ambient co2. Some housholds vary in how much co2. that 900 umol/s is for a 12/12 cycle. Adjust proportionally for autoflower light cycle. More hours needs proportionately less umol/s. 18h would be 2/3rds, or 600 umol/s for 1m^2 for ~39 DLI. 39DLI being the ballpark "max" for typical CO2 in an indoor garden's atmosphere. I'm going on memory, so whatever ppfd and hours combo = 38.9. you are in a m^2, so the ppfd is the umol/s target of light without a need to convert.

perfect environemental condition, perfect phenotype, co² and all and you can reach 500 600gr/m² growing in sog from seeds i m around 350gr 400gr/m² depending strains and more or less good phenotypes
