Pretty interesting numbers....
I got the standard email from SDGE that tells me that I am
using way more energy than my neighbors. Great. Well, I thought
to compute what uses what and I found that my Veg area uses more
energy than my LEC tent does. 236W for 18 hours costs more than
315W for 12.
I used watt-hours per day as my unit and came up with:
4*32W (T8s) + 2*54W (HOT5s) for 18 h == 4248 Wh/d
600W for 12 h == 7200 Wh/d
325W for 12 h == 3780 Wh/d
...but, then again, there are the two fans, the pump in the cloner,
and whatever else I am not thinking of.
I would like to set the HPS aside for a while and rock a second LEC
but lets wait to see how the grow comes out.
