Do you have only 1 side light?
Yeah man and she’s just getting started i can’t wait to see what she looks like here in another month!!!
No i’ve got 3 1000 watt hps on her.
Ive got them placed to where they get the top and the side then i’ve got 1 just for the side she’s getting pounded with light!

Nice. That's a lot of light. I don't envy your electric bill. Lol... I'm getting ready to throw one of mine in flower... maybe next weekend I think.
I can run 3 1000 watt hps 12/12 for about 50 bucks a month so it’s not to bad...

Actually that's not too bad. You got cheap electricity. Lol
Yeah it’s not to bad i wired the lights for 220 instead of 110 and it cuts it almost in half that way.

I'll have to look into that!
That’s all you have to do if you have room in your breaker box is put in a 30 amp breaker and run 2/10 wire to your grow area and put you a 220 plug in at the end of it. You can get or make you a splitter and plug it in to the 220 that you made and it will hold 3 1000 watt hps lights and more. I suggest you get someone that you can trust to do it and someone that knows what their doing!

I've done it before. I just don't know if I need to do it where I'm at. I'm in a townhouse/condo, so I'm not trying to do anything big. I run a 400 watt led in my flower tent, and 233 watt led in my veg tent. I'm not really pulling a lot of power, though I believe led drivers run more efficiently at higher voltage?
Yeah that’s true. I tried the leds out but their just not my style of growing really.like you say that’s for more compact growing such as tent grows.

I dunno if you been keeping up with led tech, but it kicks ass now. Watch hygrohybrid on youtube with the spider farmer sf4000. He kills it!

He used to be a hps guy for years. He just recently switched.
Yeah the only thing about those leds they are so expensive,and they always say these are the first things that compare to the hps.The hps are 250 dollars and the good leds will run you 2500dollars and up it would have to save a whole hell of a lot of electric for them to pay for themselves. You know a 1000hps has a 6x6 growing and budding coverage it’s hard to find a led without breaking the bank that will give you that type of coverage!!!

Damn bro you got yourself a beast of a plant! Watching a long......curious to what she's gonna yield. Yeah and as far as led go they sure have come a long way. I was convinced by seeing first hand what they can do. But I believe it depends on different circumstances what works more efficiently. If I lived in a cold climate I would stick to my hid lighting for the most part. These leds run cooler and no ir so low leaf temperatures can be an issue. Ive seen quality and numbers from these kingbrites and meijiu leds which are very reasonably priced. Anyways excited cant wait to see her plump up.
