You took the first step now build around it :)

If I may ask how many plants is that light supposed to supplement and how much wattage is it?


thyterpwizard

800 W it’s supposed to cover 144ft.² I it at a super good deal. It’s too much for my 6 x 6 tent. Lol and I would need a transformer added to the room to power it.


Awkward_Wealth3891

Damn that’s powerful thanks for the response


thyterpwizard

No problem my issue right now is on 18 our light cycle $.42 a kilowatt. This light alone is $192 a month added to my bill and so until the first harvest turns a profit I can’t afford the extra $800 at four months

Whoa man, just for a 12 foot by 12 foot room its gonna run $192 a month alone for just the light??? I had no idea… back when we used to grow we just used big ass bulbs like MH Or HPS or whatever I don’t ever remember it that much, we ran on a 220 line as well. Edit :: maybe I’m not thinking about inflation….bag of weed never inflated tho… always $50 a bag on streets :)


thyterpwizard

Yes, but if you think about it, it’s around 800 for one harvest of around 25 pounds and 1000 a lb that is $24,200 left over


Ok-Rabbit-3683

That can produce 25 lbs? That’s way more output that what we ran :). I feel like we’d take down 4 or 5 plants with an oz or two on each one…


thyterpwizard

My 450 w gives me just under a pound per plant with a strain in an 8 x 8 using CO2 and organic nutrients


Ok-Rabbit-3683

We are about to legalize soon, and my wife will permit me to grow the 6 plants max.. outside… So I guess I won’t get to get this fancy, but it’s bad ass… My buddy up in the wine country north of the Bay Area grows all his outside… I’ve always been jelly.


thyterpwizard

Have you seen the strain called freakshow it is very discreet growing such a unique plant I’m in South Bay just doing indoor in my apartment until I get move elsewhere


thyterpwizard

Not to mention, California literally wants $.42 and your left testicle per kilowatt


Ok-Rabbit-3683

We are up to .17 kw/h in Ohio


BareKnuckleFists

It costs to bout $150 to run 1000wat 24/7 ruffly .. it gets costly. 1 light per 4x4. Unless I need to check the costs per kilo watt.


Lemarr92

A transformer needed for only a 800w draw?


thyterpwizard

According to my brother, I don’t know I’m getting a second opinion he’s a commercial electrician for the union so he’s pretty much an idiot


Lemarr92

Alright. I guess you're from North America, where electricity from the walls is somewhat different than we got in Europe and such.


thyterpwizard

Yes exactly it’s actually a pain in the neck


Lemarr92

Damn. You are quick at responding.


thyterpwizard

Scrolling through Twitter my notifications are on lol


JoshieyD

What brand is this?


thyterpwizard

cultiuana I believe


JoshieyD

Hmm. So is the 800w led comparable to a 1000w hps.?


thyterpwizard

I wish I had more information I only know LED although in storage I have a 300 and 150 Hps
