is this secret to hydro fluctuation

so i set up 2 rooms both running 400 watt hid lights 12/12. the only difference is with timers as soon as 1 light cycle ends in 1 room the other starts at the exact same time in the other room. this may not only eliminate obvious light cycles to my hydro company but i also may crop out if timed right every 2 weeks ... wow!111 any opinions would be very appreciated.

ok so you may be able to hide the light cycles but your going to be using alot of electricity with 2x400 watts. just make sure when you get the first bill its not far and above the previous one. otherwise hapy growing cause it sounds like you got your shit covered. very nice setup

using alot LMFAO iits only like a 7 amp draw!!!

try 3.3 amps x 24 hours versus my 26 amps x 12 hours LOL

yeah to say the least of you have 4 of those big clear vanity light bulbs = 400watts

1x 400watt = 400 watts

so in escence itslike you left your bathroom lights on for 3 months

yeah thats good to know especially since that low of watt consumption i am using aeroponics which the yields are very surprising for the little light i use, i was also thinking that 2 computers constantly running would equal the same 400 watt totals? I am not sure about the spike though when 1 400 turns off and the other turns on , interesting point though. I am just trying to cover every angle because i am a perfectionist. My venting is already immaculate i am always just worried about the stupid hydro company

each 400 w run 24 hours a day is 42 bucks us. make sure consumption is relative to your space size and neighbors

i will be running 1 for 12 then when that ends i will start the other on timers of course. but this means it would be like 1 400 wat running 24 hours which is slightly better than 1 -1000 for 12 hours correct??
