HID eats bulbs so when you factor in the bulb costs plus its 40% larger electricity bill month after month it becomes less appealing.

So lets say we have 6 1000w consuming 1050w each x 18hrs day 12 cents kwh = $400 month x 1
Flower as above at 12hrs = $276 month x 3 months = $828 + the Veg month = $1228 per crop

$1228 minus 40% gives a savings of $491 on electricity per crop with higher THC and denser buds.

$500 x 3 crops $1500 a year plus bulb costs of what $1200 ? anyways better make them diy Cobs or it makes little sense me thinks.

Not everyone transitions smoothly over to leds so it needs to be researched extensively to avoid problems.

I use led and hps like them both but am about to go all led and stop using the hps cooletubes which rock in my opinion well when in a tent.

I pay 12.4 cent once over the limit its a tier system the first $55 is 8.2 cents then it goes up to 12.4 cents.
Twats who own the company seem to need my money more then me , must be that 5th jet , I hear its real hard being a billionaire.

On a lighter note My electric bill is on the equal payment plan and costs just $100 month

Yep we have the same system of tier'ing but our city owns our own electric generation so it is cheaper then most places! When it goes up like others may look at led :P

Ontario has three different times for the day. (:
They screw you when you get up
They screw you when you get home from work until you go to bed.
And during the day, they screw you half the time.
And you get off paying high rates, in between those times.

Sounds like the GF . :shock:
