I think it comes down to if you are just growing for yourself or not....

It's cheap to turn out a small area for personal use.

My point is anyone with a big bill like that should invest into a system like yours.

It would pay for itself.

This is what I hate about the US energy argument. For some reason people simply the situation to the point if there isn't ONE single magic cure the fuck it.

We all need to do our part. Could you imagine the difference if everyone reduced their usage by 15-25%?

Couple what you did with some solar and we can make a difference.

Are you in a party cup competition? That pot looks a bit puny for the nice plant it is supporting...or was Grandpa's advice on the lines of finding a wife with small hands. :)

I start in coco pucks. once they sprout I move to 1 gallon. I keep mine in 1 gallon till I want to move to flower then re-pot into 10 gallon wait 2-3 weeks and move into flower room. t5's are great for veg. 8 bulb 4' by 1'

ya I should hang another light and give them their own t5 but I'm on vacation right now, plus my t5's are to strong to have it real close to seedlings. When they're about this big is when I slam em with light.

everybody has there own way of veg there plants . looking at both pics to me both are wrong I don't like . should of been topped a very long time ago should have at a min of 8 nodes on the tops trimmed off all the bottoms . like I say you do what you think is correct . im sure a lot of people would hate how I do it . I throw a shit load of plants under t8 led worse then t5 I like the energy savings and zero stretch . actually I get fast growth off them surprisingly from a few 19 watt led tubes about a bit under a inch a day after they are 6 inches tall but I have co2 .

Fucking sweet! I bought and installed my own dual circuit heat pump unit. Unfortunately, wind power is not worth the installation cost and there are far too many trees in the neighborhood for solar to effectively offset my power usage.

I'm thinking fuel cells... :fire:
