You can grow what you want on a smaller scale. That's what I do. I do agree that you have to supply the demand though in order to keep the compensation in check.
My plan is maintain this scale the garden until the beginning of February. In mid-February.. I'm gonna push it up to 200 watts to get rooted Platinum OG clones vegging as soon as possible. I have been using 96 watt lighting system.. but I agree that I could have turned off a light or two had I taken clones and dropped the lights closer. I think next year I am planning to use less lighting if I can run clones on que.. Thanks for the kind words man!
