Yes I am paying somewhere around. 06-.08/kWhWelcome to the farm, nice grow and backdrop, as far as LED’s doing the same...hard to say but the cost of running (cost of ownership) your set up over some top shelf LED’s may be higher, unless your paying $.06/kWh.
But it shouldn't matter how much I pay for kWh. Cause I'd still save using LED right? I dont care about cost of LED lights. I just have never used LED. Figure keep HPS for flower cause I have always heard you get less yeild on LED. So figure maybe just LED for veg.Yes I am paying somewhere around. 06-.08/kWh
Yes this looks perfect. Have you used this?HLG 550’s ftw
Matters a ton. LEDs pay for themselves quickly if your power cost is $.35/kwh. Not so fast if its .075/kwh, which I pay.But it shouldn't matter how much I pay for kWh.

I prefer to stake each branch of each plant by week 3 of flower. I do this because it gives me a reason to get to the plants in the middle of the room and rotate plants some and also spend time trimming back each plant. I feel it necessary to give the room and plants that attention. Using betting is easier during the grow but harder when it comes time to trim and also allows you to be lazy and I dont like or want to be a lazy grower. I take pride in my babies :)For that kind of height I’d be tempted to recommend cob leds vs quantum boards. The reason being is quantum boards don’t penetrate the canopy as deep as cobs. In your situation due to the ultra low price of electricity you might be better off with mostly HID and then do a test section of leds to see how you like it.
With quantum’s scrog is the preferred method of maximizing the efficiency of the light. And with scrog it’s a matter of filling out the canopy as quickly and densely as possible.
Okay ya I see what you mean. Me staking is the same as scrog. So ya that is a good idea. Thanks.Yeah scrog is mostly used to even out the canopy. That’s just what is most efficient with quantum boards the way they are designed. They are designed to spread the watts out evenly over a larger area. That’s why I suggested cobs as those will give you better penetration at the cost of spread. But will still save you energy. If nothing else to conserve it for others.
