It does shave time off flowering for sure. Growing a 60 day strain I’m seeing them finish in about 45-50 days. Pulling about 2g/watt. Using both a 11/13 photoperiod and a far red puck for the Emerson effect. And that’s with AK47 so it’s not a heavy yielder but it holds its own. I’d say on a scale of 1-10 it yields about 7-7.5.
And that’s in limited space mind you. My entire grow rack uses roughly 260 watts (when flowering lights are on, minus 171 watts when they are off) running two led light setups, 2 fans and a 4” inline fan vented through a carbon scrubber. So I’m pulling decent numbers considering I’m all organic in soil and not hydro.
I pay less than $20/month in electricity to run the entire rack.
I did some math and my all in cost per oz produced is $4/oz. That includes nutrients, soil, tap water and electricity.
All in all I’m very impressed with the
hlg quantum boards, growmau5 far red puck and a 11/13 photoperiod.
I know I sound like an infomercial and I’m not trying to. It’s just shocking how efficent things have gotten over the years. And the results are as good or better than ever.
