Our rates here are around 13 cents per Kilowatt. Just 20 miles from me and it drops to 9. Both utility companies buy their power from the same source, TVA.
In the bigger cities in the State their rates are 6.2 per kilowatt. Where I'm at is the highest in the state and this area is the poorest in the state... hmmm.
If your caught with any kind of gangja your getting your ass reemed. They will dream up charges on you to put you in the higher end of ass reaming. Relative got arrested and they found 5 stems. Those stems were off of one small plant and they counted those stems as each being a plant so that is now growing to distrubute. You guys don't know how lucky you have it where your at, I'm in the arm pit of America, the land of Confusion. The place where they follow you all day and sit down from your house all night. Pull you over and then shut off their camera and voice recorder and then ream you good and its your word against theirs.

Anyways... how are you able to flood the warehouse with CO2? I had some c99 from BC bud depot and it looked nothing like what yours does. Grew that several years ago, just recently acquired some from another source but not a commercial outfit that guarantees its a brothers grimm cut.

we generate co2 with a tankless hot water heater.

Water is pumped from a 220 gallon IBC tote to and back from the heater...well, it's one pump but you could figure that Out.

It's about a 100,000 btu unit. It runs for about 5 min then is off for about 10..maybe 15? We actually need to get another IBC tote and put it outside to disapate the heat from the water.

I sympathize with you my friend. Another armpit of America resident right here. When you live where we do you spend twice as much on carbon filters :d.

Remember my suggestion to use the hot water from a heat pump to warm rooms in the dark and thereby help dehumidify them? Clearly you've found your alternative source of hot water- and that could be the means to cool it!

10' ceilings. The only thing I don't like is the fans we are using beat the hell out of the leaves.

week 6 and we cut nutes down to 1000k ppm. Will cut 300 a week till harvest.

We also turned one of the chillers down to 61. Going to see if that makes any differnece in terms of stress and maturation.

No, we turned them down to medium. Above the lights? Never thought of that. Hmmmm.

Have you guys ever turned down the wattage in the last week or two?

The problem is this.. so close to the lights makes monster buds but it also decreases quality a little... or at least reduces the number of trichs.

My thought was turning down the wattage would help alleviate that in the last two weeks. The plants don't need much in the last two weeks anyways. Or at lest that is my understanding. Nutrients, temps, co2, everything gets reduced near the end.

Consider running your fans on their lowest speed setting; after all, hot air rises naturally, so all you need to do is help it along a little. Works like a charm for me.
