Hello All,
I have never grown indoors so please forgive my ignorance. This is more of a economics question:
Has there been any cost/benefit analysis done on HID vs. Induction lighting (yield vs. cost of ownership)?
Ive read there is a larger yield (size and weight) on HID but then you need lots of amps, ducting, cooling, bulb replacement, etc. versus Induction gives a smaller yield but less infrastructure is needed, cost of acquisition/operation is less, 15 year life on bulbs, etc.
If you were to start a brand new grow op tomorrow, what would you use? And why?
