I do this now in the winter for heat. I chuck a 400 watt HPS with warm mag ballast in the room to heat with light... I like the result of the Budmaster better by far so I will go back to all LED in the summer. I don't want to run 60-100 bucks a month higher either so I will try to get away with as little watts to get the job done. Besides I added for heat... when you add HPS or even CFL you add a lot of heat that now needs to be removed

--edit

For side lighting I bend them...

yeah buck i realize now i should have put a hid in there during winter i lost alot of yield this last run due to temps being to low i guess the space heaters set at 55 was not adequate , but the good part is the quality was great resin is insane on the bubba og in particular :thumb: but i still got only about an oz per on the last 3 girls. i always learn a few things next winter they will be warm! lol

Looking good Big "I" Dude, my question I'm asking is what is the electricity cost per day LED vs HID thanks.

um i have never sliced it quite that thin but i figured out my cost to run a 600watt hps is approx fora month is 31 dollars & change not counting the support gear to control the heat, now the current setup is a 510watt and 255watt led lights so im using more wattage but not running the support gear as much due to the lower heat output the hope is that i'll get a larger yield of higher quality meds,for about the same dent in the power bill.. now when i was running the last led that was approx 400watts but rated to perform at 150% more output than a 600 hps i did yield better per plant on the strains i have run before under hps! the sour diesel2 and pg kush both gave 5-15% more and higher quality meds (more trichs and potency,more aroma & taste)
i have high hopes for this next run givin im using 765watts of led it should do as well as a 1k hps if it works as well as the manufacturer claims, the last brand i tested did as well as maybe a bit better than expected! :thumb:
another power use part of the equation i cant calculate is these i-gro lights have a dimming feature i have set to mimic sunrise/sunset so of the current 18 hours on only about 8-10 are on full draw on all 3 channels they start at about 5% on hour 1 and spend about 4 hours working up to 100% and fade out the same way in reverse. a cool feature but at this point i have no clue if its of any benefit to the final result or if its better to just run them at 100% during all "on"/"day" hours, that answer will come after another couple runs,i like that they have a 24hour timer built in to the controller and when i get to the run where i setup hid mixed with led i can use led thru the whole day and "wake up" the girls with this feature and will likely only run the hid lights a few hours a day

thats cool sling another thing to remember as we compare is your growing in a hydro system with synthetic nutes ,where im using well under 1000 watts and organic nutes in coco , beautiful nugs sling:rocker:

No Doubt, I was just giving ya a pic to compare my soon to be LED test flowers, might be a month or three until I get one but its going to happen eventually. Just a benchmark for mine, I know your setups all different, for now hahahaha

well actually they have grown alot since i took these pics 5 days ago on the 3rd...the blue dream clones in the cups and the ebb & flow have snapped out of the trans shock and started growing new lush green leaves and the rest have shot up another 4inches except the gdp that runt has jumped up to almost even with the rest!! about 6-7 inches new for her the tomatoes are hanging out till im sure it wont get to cold for them in the greenhouses, im super pleased with how they have all done this past week i think it may be time for a new video:rocker:

Just a fast drive by to see what ya got growing on. Looks like afew revegs. Also looks like you have been upgrading the tents with some new LED's. Looks like a great start least as far as I went back.
