If you want to save power grow outside or in a greenhouse,flips or vert wont save you.
Not using AC can save some but if your not in the perfect place with conditions for it can cost you more in lost production than you save.
Probably the best way to save is new tech lighting like DE's or CMH,these can cut up to 25% off lighting electrical use.AC is going to cost you period,according to cannabis john even high seer units dont help much in our application as our units tend to run at higher speeds all the time.Chillers will save but you pay BIG up front.
High efficiency dehueys like Quest and super efficient fans like hyperfans use half of the power others do and help some.
Also your electric co. and the way they bill makes the biggest difference,I have tiers which go up with higher use effectively tripling or quadripling my bill,i have a buddy in another state that has no tiers and pays a straight 8cents a KWH(Lots of cheap hydro power)with no tiers,lucky fuck.I even put in a 10kw alternative energy source thinking it would at least keep me in lower tiers,it helps me but is no magic bullet,does cover my household use but im still in higher tiers.
Good luck.
