Yield estimator & production planner
Yield is growth rate × time × area, discounted to the part you can sell. From one cycle, the planner rolls forward: how many cycles the calendar allows, and what the year is worth at your price.
Crop & cycle

Per cycle, then annualized
Growth rate is the whole game: it swings with light (DLI), CO₂, temperature, and cultivar, so treat this as a planning envelope, not a promise. Revenue here is gross: no seed, nutrient, labor, or electricity costs are subtracted.
Is your light actually delivering the DLI this assumes? Check PPFD & DLI →
How do you estimate hydroponic yield before harvest?
Multiply your canopy area by an expected yield-per-square-foot rate for your crop and light intensity, then multiply by cycles per year for annual output and revenue. Your growth-rate assumption matters more than any other input, so start conservative and adjust from real harvest data. Enter your area, cycle length, and rate above for a full production and revenue estimate.
