Sub'd I will do this in time.
I really want to follow DST's suggestion and let them be for another week but the wife is already asking about the bill and stuff. She likes to budget for our larger bills and when I grow, the elec bill is one of them. It will probably be in the $250-300/mo range while running the 1k. I will swap it out for a 600 at some point and bring the plants in a little closer. I just need the extra funds to buy a new 600 ballast and bulbs. I'll sell the 1k ballast and bulb after to recover some $.
I have run that before too. There is about a $50 difference between running a 600 and a 1k on my power bill. Running a 1k for 18 hrs a day will be even more than that. She's used to our bill when I run a single 600 and a t8 veg light. She's just concerned with what it's going to cost us. I'm not worried at all about the power Co, lol
also on board..
think time has come
next run, a few weeks away....
One more thing; if $50 a month on the power bill is a determining factor in your style of grow, we need to up your grams per kWh statistic, STAT!
Nothing better for that than goin' vertical!
4 or 5 like my old room , but it will start at the floor. I will lay it out and see.TStik i run a multilevel sog with shelvesfor 2 gal grow bags. I have pics on here and my thread.That sounds like a cool project. How many levels are level planning on having?
That's part of why I went back to vertical. My yields weren't stellar running a single 600 over a 3x3 tray. I would get around 10oz on average per run that way. With vertical I was killing that number before so I went back starting with this run.
