I have a 25in autoflower (Berry Ryder) with 2 23w 2700k, A Critical Jack Herer mother and 6 clones with 5 23w 6500k. All are in a 4x4x6 doing awsome. Also a Black Russian in a 3x3x6 with 1 55w 2700k(in flowering) My first as well but honestly just let your ladies tell you what they want. Works for me. And just read as much as you can to learn. there is no right way other than what makes you satisfied

Taking an average cost of 14.5p per KW hr in GB, it would cost you approximately 7.25p per hr to run. Multiply that by the number of hours you run it per day, 12 or 18, and multiply that by the number of days per month. That will give you a good ballpark.


If you get caught it won't be because the Electric company was suspicious from the power consumption of one 400hp lamp.
