This is an experiment though , correct?

Has the weather been fluctuating much over there?
no this is not an experiment. i am paying rent on this unit. plus the electricity and i dumped almost a grand into hoods and supplies. i need at least 2 pounds or i'm screwed and i lose the room.

the weather goes from freezing cold to raining.

Ahh okay, i understand now.

It looks like they are healthy. I bet once they take off you'll be fine. Sounds like the weather is just reacking havoc on them atm.

3 units on one bill. my room is charged at triple rate because we are 3 times over max average usage. :shock:

first sentence makes sense... the second is some hustlin bullshit though... how'd they rate it at that??? you're only running about 4500w right??

you get so many Kw once you go over that amount the price on it goes up, the more you use the more it costs.

have you looked into the "levelized bill pay" ??? may come out cheaper that way... all it takes is a phone call to get a quote... if your power company offers it at least :-?

they don't do that here. we have other options that did lower it a little, but when you are using 3 houses worth of power, you kinda have to pay for it.

nice! sounds like we will be able to see a good difference between the three sets of 9. did u do the specific topping and super cropping to see which has better yield or just did it for fun?

this part of the grow is an experiment. i still need 2 pounds regardless.

for those in the back row. :dunce:

it's really kinda sad. my indoor grows have always been slow. my temps now range between 67 and 85. i water/feed when the soil is dry. they look great, and small. :-|
]

constant temps around 78 would be sweet. those lower temps really slow em down.

yes, they seem small and slow, but i bet they are just getting their roots established. those are some decent sized pots. soon they will be taking off. besides, its only been like a month bro.:joint:

My power is only like $250 a month and I'm running close to 3000 watts just in light. Cali rates must be crazy!

he did say that it includes 2 units (seperate houses basically) PLUS the rented growroom.... sounds a bit higher on rates than I pay here, but sounds about right... if you doubled my bill, and then added a grow, its only about 25% under what i pay.... normal...

at least you arent in Hawaii..... check out the power rates they have to pay there:shock:
