[QUOTE="Stiritup420, post: 112461, member: 2971"] Seems i am 3 months late here.. The OP does not seem to have experience or knowledge to pull off 3600w of HID. FLIR will pick up walls and roofs that are heated differently than surrounding rooms or buildings.. Big task if you ask me. OP wants 8lb + but it sounds like a first grow and he wants to make about $25k on the side 4 x 800W LED bar light @ 3200w could yield anywhere from 8 to 10 LB even for an amateur like me. Much less suspect and easier to manage. still plenty of heat so would need a very big space and AC I find the power bill thing is not an issue up to a point but the price is crazy. When i moved in here 10 years ago most of my bills were around $280 mark not growing, now days its more like $8-1000 I'm paying peek rates 24/7 and i run about 1500w of LED but don't use them all all of the time, Last 2 months probably only been running 800w in 12/12 and 250w in 18/6 and have not used AC. Seems like im paying at least $500+ per grow now days. Time to consider getting solar before Kw/ph + daily supply = 1LB per quarter lol That day will come. [/QUOTE]
