Ok here is 8 days under the rocket plasma.. NOW if you can imagine that before putting this under the plasma I stripped every branch leaf off this girl. She looked like a charlie brown christmas tree when i was done. She had a couple spider mites on her so i actually stripped her left no chance for anything. And well this is the results after 8 days from bare 4" stalk.Food she likes. well she eats the 4 part nectar of the gods with 2 capfuls of roots organic grow. I boost her a bit with probiotics. I use all 3 of the primordial solutions. I use the sea green, rootamentary, and true blooms.. Let me tell you This poor clone is gonna LIVE. Just note I had this clone since february. She just kept getting beat up now she's back and beautiful. Nodes so tight together so much side branching. HA this beginner is kicking ass LOL

Here is around day 10. The other photo shows 7 days from seedling it spends 14 hours a day under plasma and the rest in its table under 200cfl

Day 15 larger res plasma 8 inches over top. Just put her under some training get her ready for a small sea of kolas. Sprayed her last night with some true blooms. Watch her open up n start shooting up.

Well fellas. Here it is. This beautiful girls has moved Into 4x4 18gal ebb and flow/Dwc 2 more weeks.. NO more worries about warm water any longer . Temps are 75 degrees 68 on the water and humidity is coming down..... I got more air moving through this thing..

Here is progress on root structure. YES i know there is a bit of dark brown on them But i assure you its just fine.. ITs a bit of residual roots organics i spray my roots clean 3x a week just so no slime can ever build up.. Thanks all for watching

They did a cost analysis in the blog section on the rocket plasma website if those are the type of numbers you are looking for.
http://www.rocketplasma.com/2014/04/how-rocket-plasma-energy-savings-adds-up/
"For the purpose of discussion, we are simply going to use the national average of $.12 (kilowatt hour) kWh. Remember, however, that this number is just that…an average. It helps to determine the rough cost of your grow but you should do the calculations below using your true energy cost. But also pay attention to your utility bill – because your cost per hour might climb substantially based on your total energy consumption. In many locales, the kWh rate increases dramatically as you increase consumption over a pre-determined baseline. This means – if you exceed a set amount of power use, your cost per kWh starts to increase as well. This might happen at several set intervals, as your price continues to increase. Add fuel to the fire, some zones then add an additional tax, above and beyond your energy bill, to accounts which consume high kWh of power.
The Calculations
So, let’s begin! The goal is to determine how much a room of lights will cost to run. We will describe the process and then show the equation for exemplary purposes. Further into the blog, you can find some real world scenarios as well.
1) Let’s start with the basic calculation for determining how much power this room consumes (in lighting alone) per day. To determine, first figure out your total wattage by multiplying your wattage per light times the amount of lights used.
Total Number Lights Used * Wattage per Light = Total Wattage
Next, multiply this wattage by the number of hours used per day. And, for simplicity, convert this total wattage to kilowatts by dividing this last total by 1000.
(Total Wattage * Hours used per day)/1000 = Daily Kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption
2) Multiply this daily usage by the days in your growth cycle to determine how much energy you use per grow. [Or, feel free to adjust this number to help analyze energy use per year vs per month etc.]
Daily kWh * Number of Days = Total Energy Used per Determined Days (Set Cycle)
3) Once you have the total kWh used per time period, multiply this number by your utility rate in order to calculate your total cost. And not to forget, 1 kilowatt (kW) = 1000 Watts (W)
Total Energy Used per Cycle * Utility Rate per kWh = Total Cycle Cost
The Example:
One 230W Rocket Plasma is used on average for 14 hours a day, 365 days a year at $.12 kWh base energy cost (national average).
1) Determine your kWh per day
230W *14h)/1000 = 3.22 kwh per day2) Determine your kWh per year:
3.22 kWh/d *365 d = 1175.3 kWh
3) Determine your cost per year:1175.3 kWh * .12 $/kWh = $141.04 per year, per Rocket Plasma
Again, this does not include the additional HVAC savings enjoyed. But, it’s a great baseline"
