That's a much clearer statement lol. And to a point I agree. If I can save on electricity and yield the same or better in my personal grow and the investment does not offset the difference in price in electricity for more than the first cycle. Then yes. If it takes more than a cycle to pay off my investment for lighting a 3x3 in a 3x3 then no, hps is still better bang for your buck lol. And by offset I mean it has to save me more or yield more in the amount of the investment. I was already yielding what I was yielding with hps, if I can't make the additional weight or electricity savings in the first cycle, not worth it IMO.
But this assumes you will be only growing 1 cycle. If, for example, you yield exactly the same but it takes you 2 or more cycles to recoup the extra start up cost in elec savings surely it is still a good investment as you are in the black and making savings for the next...forever
