What do you pay 2cents a kw?
You must be taking photos from really far away if that little plant is 4.5kg of dry
And i am not here to judge you its your life maybe your a millionare who doesnt give a f.
But for me paying over 600$ to have a few grams that would hurt as a ufff
I think it's .08. I just know that my wife tracks it like a hawk. It's a hundred bucks a month. And every time I added a new light, those lights got added over time, I calculated in each bit and it all matched out. I have remote control plugs that both monitor and control them so I know exactly what they consume.
The large four-wing ones are 513 watts a piece. Those were $109 a piece. I have five of them. Once I found out they were not lying to me and shipped them for that price I ordered four more immediately. Those were a great investment.
The flat rectangular are 240 w and those include extra red, far red and UVB. Those cost me approximately 200 bucks 3 years ago. They are far too concentrated to be close when I'm trying to match with the big wide ones, but they give incredible depth in the valleys. The pictures will rarely show that fully lit up simply because I don't put the camera in that close when everything's tight. When I do the screen glares into my eyes and I can't see anything anyway.
I have multiple far red, red, UVB in both fluorescent tubes and lots of LEDs. They are part of historical light purchases. I've collected lights over the years as the technology gets better and better. I always get the best price performance though And I buy them for a specific grow.
I've got various UVB measuring strips to make sure it was real. It's real. That room will give you cancer.
Eight plugs for 40 bucks for controlling everything plus remote temperature monitoring and the camera and the alarm system was another 40 bucks. All back to my phone with great history and control. I run the rest of my house with them as well. I love those plugs. Tapo. I'm pretty sure the Chinese government is monitoring me, but what the hell, they're subsidizing the electronics in my house.
I will put a ruler on the plant in the next set of photos just for you. I will assume that you're coming at the default that there's some crazy guy there throwing a bunch of bullshit out there and your defenses are up so I won't react too harshly.
But the bottom line is 30 years as a self-taught computer programmer who has had so many goddamn titles and responsibilities combined with a love of this type of experimentation puts me in a position to do some cost justification that I don't think you really can understand.
I'll add in that the dislocated hips and back spasms combined with the shingles pain requires an enormous amount of highly concentrated cannabis oil that I could not possibly purchase. Easily thousands of dollars a month. That's not happening. I've been out of work for 10 years now, supported by my wife who's a nurse. My social security kicks in in 2 months. I am on the edge and have been for a long time. That's what happens when you become a drug felon. So anyway, the cost justification is ridiculously easy.
But go ahead and try to insult anyway. I promise to be nice.
