(The info below is taken directly from the Wikipedia article on the Calvin cycle.
The immediate products of ONE turn of the Calvin cycle are:
2 x glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) molecules
3 x ADP
2 x 2 NADP+
(ADP and NADP+ are regenerated in the light-dependent reactions).
Each G3P molecule is composed of 3 carbons. In order for the Calvin cycle to continue, RuBP (ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate) must be regenerated. So, 5 of the 6 carbons from the 2 G3P molecules are used for this purpose.
Therefore, there is only 1 net carbon produced to play with for each turn.
To create 1 extra G3P requires 3 carbons, and therefore 3 turns of the Calvin cycle. To make one glucose molecule (which can be created from 2 G3P molecules) would require 6 turns of the Calvin cycle. Surplus G3P can also be used to form other carbohydrates such as starch, sucrose, and cellulose depending on what the plant needs.

I'm pretty sure that it takes 2 PGAL's to make 1 glucose . It takes 6 turns of the Calvin cycle since 3 turns give you 1 PGAL.
Calvin cycle (apex)
The end product of the Calvin cycle is a three-carbon sugar molecule called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). This molecule can be used to produce glucose and other carbohydrates, which serve as a source of energy for the plant.
Because glucose has 6 carbons and one carbon is incorporated with each turn of the Calvin-Benson cycle.
Mainly the molecules used in the Calvin Cycle are from the light reactions prior to it, and therefore, the ATP energy made in the light reaction fuels the Dark Reaction which will eventually form Glucose
six
The Calvin cycle needs to be run through six times to produce one molecule of glucose. This is because each turn of the Calvin cycle fixes one molecule of carbon dioxide, and glucose has six carbons in its structure.
I'm pretty sure that it takes 2 PGAL's to make 1 glucose . It takes 6 turns of the Calvin cycle since 3 turns give you 1 PGAL.
A chloroplast deprived of CO2 cannot generate glucose, as glucose is produced during the Calvin cycle through the conversion of CO2 to glucose. Without CO2, the chloroplast cannot fix carbon and proceed with the Calvin cycle to produce glucose.
the Calvin cycle will produce less glucose

Calvin cycle (apex)
carbon dioxide is converted into glucose carbon fixation
It takes three rounds of the Calvin cycle to fix three carbon molecules into glucose, therefore at the end of three Calvin cycles there are 9 ADP's produced, 3 NADH+'s produced and one glucose molecule.
Six molecules of RuBP (ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate) are needed to produce one molecule of glucose through the Calvin cycle in photosynthesis.
The end product of the Calvin cycle is a three-carbon sugar molecule called glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P). This molecule can be used to produce glucose and other carbohydrates, which serve as a source of energy for the plant.
Glucose is a product of the Calvin cycle. However, other sugars can be produced in the cycle, and ADP and NADP+ are also produced from the formation of glucose.
