80 bucks???? for 600 watt hps? I run 2 600, a 300 led 200 watts of t5, 2 6" fans, a dehuey, c02 equipment, a 8k btu A.C plus a 14k btu Ac along with all my other appliances, bill was 235.00..
Do you run your lights at night?
But I know this, if you build you a 3x3 scrog, you quadruple your harvest and that extra 80 wont mean shit, plus you can keep your light higher, and you wont get such bad foxtailing, which in return will make your buds more dense and way better tasting smoke...
Use the 150 watt to veg, and use the 600 to flower..
Run from 6pm lights on to 6am lights off...
Electricity is cheaper at night.
And its also cooler at night which makes it easier on A.c.
8 mil solex huh?
