Again man, you claim twice the ammount and your not doubling it in your responses to me.
Truth is your lights and your ac or heat use about equal power.
2 900's and 2 300's and a blower use more than 900 watts. No way around it. You wont be sell that to anyone who knows anything.
All 4 of your lights will use about 1100 watts unless you have some special mars 900's that are different from anyone elses.
So 1100 in lights. So if your running a 2200 watt heater for the same on time as your lights then your story stands up. But that heater (2200w) wouldnt run on 120 volts it would have to be 240 volt and the biggest damn space heater in the world.
But your not running a 2200w heater are you? Therefore your heater does not usr twice the power. Your using a 1200w heater if ran on hi power so in fact your heater and lights are about the same power except for the fact that your heater uses less run time unless it runs while your lights are on too? That wouldnt be good.
So considering time they are powered on I bet you spend more in light power than you do heat by a margine.
I dont care what you " think", facts just dont add there.

Bro I sent you my power out out reading. It says 900w that's with every thing running I can show you my AC unit running if you really like , My AC unit uses double that I may have mis typed what I said but it use double my lights at 2000w and meant a space heater uses more than my whole setup I'm not running a heater ? That's a comparasion what heater I never said I had one of you read it correctly ? I'm not running any heaters in my set up again was a comparasion lol
Happy growing .

Here's my original post read it properly I was saying it's cheaper to run my whole set up than a space heater or my AC .

Sorry, the facts just don't add. So in your tent what ac unit are you running exactly then. I want to see this monster.

Theres enough misinformation on this site to just let some newbie believe all of this. Fact is that your not saving over a 1000w hps in your case. Especially if you have to run 2000w of ac to cool 1000w of led. Sorry again bro, your shit just dont come close to adding. I'm done with going back and forth about it. At least maybe when a newbie sees your claims maybe they will see mine and figure things out from that.
If you have to run 3000w worth of stuff for only 1000w of led please explain how you are saving?

That's clearly with out the AC unit on .... or it would be 2900w bro. You mis understood. I said would be cheaper to run my set up than a space heater or my AC unit. But here it is it's an ellegance one from South Africa a propper one
Happy growing .
Yep, a 700 watt ac right there. How many btu's is it? It will say on the sticker.

I know what you said. But your lights use more power than that ac. That ac may use 2000w but only for a split second while turning on. It will run about 700w after that. 700w is less than your lights.

No they don't at all the AC unit is overkill and runs at 2k watts witch is why I try not to use it at all lol I only use it for the dry setting so it will always run at 2k as its working hardest all the time does that explaine it to you now can I stop posting now lol I know what my gear runs I was just trying to say that LEDs are cheap to run
So my whole set up uses less than my AC unit I'm hardly gonna use the fan setting if I have fans in my tent bud

Sorry, I know it dont run 2k watts. It just dont. I run one just like it, looks like the same unit. It runs about 700w on dry or cool
I know what you were trying to say but in reality your not saving power or money over using hps in your setup. Sorry bro, its fact. And your lights are using more than your ac is another fact.

Well you don't as its not your set up and fact I'm saving much more and I know o am as it clearly reads 900w my AC isn't connected to my set up and I'm not running it my whole set up in this tent is 900w as in the photo end off fact is I've tested it and it's over kill it's why I don't use it lol I cbf to talk s@"t all night you can carry on if you like but I know what my set up runs at and if you check earlier posts it was lower than 900 but increased as new extractor have a nice evening

High all! Hope everyone is well! I'm a long time forum stalker and thought I would post my set up.
I'm not doing an actual journal due to not having the time to commit to it due to family commitments etc but after circumstances changed I had to drop my 90x90x180 tent with 400w MH/HPS set up for a very discreet cupboard grow. After a lot of research I opted for the Mars Hydro 48 reflector as it would fit my space perfectly.
I'm currently growing 3 different autos in 3 different sized containers for the hell of it;
Sensi Seeds NL Auto in 3 gal pot
Fast Buds Northern Express in 2L pot
And TH Seeds MK Ultra auto in a 16oz party cup!
I want to see how the different pot sizes effect flowering and yield, in an ideal world I would have used 3 of the same strain for a proper test/comparison but hey... I'm greedy and like variety
All are grown in Biobizz light mix using Biobizz grow, bloom and TOPMAX. I'll post in this forum again when all 3 are harvested which will be around mid March.
Sensi NL day 11
Fast buds Northern Express day 7
TH Seeds MK Ultra Auto
Happy growing everyone! . .
