No arguements here bro...lol, even tho i am the most confrontational member...no seriously, LMAO
I guess claims are kind of like opinions to me... Everyone makes them just some are more outragous then others. When I look at yield, I try to imagine ideal conditions, so I take the size of the system and number of plants out of the equation. That leaves light... In a truly efficient garden, and in ideal conditions your only limiting factor is light. An experienced MJ gardener can pull 1g/ watt of light used, and exceptional grower can pull 1.5g / watt, at 1.5g / watt = 1800 grams or 4 pounds @ 450. That is an exceptional gardener with a very efficient setup. For your first few years of growing if you could pass the 1g / watt mark, that would be a major development, because this is not easy, wheather growing monsters, or having countless sog clones, because in the end it doesn't matter as long as it is efficient, how you achieve this efficiency is part of the fun of growing, but to truly achieve a measurable level of efficiency it takes time to understand your system and the general botony of the MJ plant. That doesn't mean that you need to become a registered botonist, it more means you have to understand the general and specific growth traits of our beloved plant. You have to understand what stresses the plants and the effect it has.
Basically what I am saying is that yield is more about light and the growers personal tilt then having the greatest equiptment, and it is somewhat unrealistic to expect to buy an expensive system and think to get exceptional yields while you are learning to grow.
I would honestly recommend you to just start slow and set up a homemade hydroponic system, or just get some soil or a soil-less mix a good light, a few fans and some nutes and get a few harvests under your belt, then you can make a more educated decision onn if you think this will work well for you in your situation.
I would take anything that someone that's trying to sell me, with a grain of salt, simply because they are trying to sell me a very expensive unit. It is kind of like asking a Coka-cola rep, "whats better coke or pepsi", regardless of their personal reflections, It is in their best interest to say their company, because they want you to buy more coke.
