Ahhhhh, you mean you rate it on cost per day. But this is irreverent as well capt as you could pay £3 a day, get twice as much and only grow half the year.
The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

Well, you got a point, but it's kind of a different subject. What I'd like to discuss is what the actual maximum light a plant can absorb and when it is an overkill.
It's closely related to what you're saying too as if we get this right a lot of people will be saving lots of money and not wasting energy ans pollution.

also id not bother with ramping up the watts until peeps can truely grow a dope plant first otherwise it would be a massive waste of they cash. but as for lighting imho a 1kw hid would easily luminate a 10 x 10 foot room !! :idn:

That's what I am trying to discuss here.
Is that 1000 mh lamp going to produce too much energy right under the lamp and don't spread the light properly all over your 10 x 10 room OR you sill be able to use 4x200w LED panels in total of 800w which are producing the right light for the plants to grow healthy and save some pennies in your pocket?
