no prob, I only calculate per plant outdoors, indoors its per light.
good luck with your paper!

thanks man!

One question though, what brands of equipment are you using? Are they universal meaning I can get them in the US, RUSSIA or anywhere else?

I asked in the lighting section but I havent gotten any solid answer. Im sure that with the high technology of HID and its expense, you can be had by some shady people for crap equipment or you can get the best for similiar prices.

If my paper doesnt change the minds of at least my class........we are all in for the long hard fight of our lives...........and I dont even touch the chronic......ha!

my lights are super HPS by hortilux

Thanks but Im looking at electronics.

Digital ballasts, silent fans (is there such a thing? hahaha)

The one thing I noticed with your pics is that you dont use a cool tube setup.

Why? Wouldnt the cool tube really keep your grow at optimum temps? Wouldnt it make it a lot easier to use a smaller fan to vent when you needed to?

And is no one really afriad of the big bad wolf when running not 1 but 6 1000w lights and youll be using fans?

The amp draw by itself has to be insane. 600w lights draw 5 amps each so I know your really pulling the juice.

Just kind of curious why everyone is so quick to be worried about electricity bills arousing suspicion but you guys run so much equipment.

oh and am I retarded? Is there a pm function or not?

You are talking about alot of money... a cool tube for six plants would a bitch to set up. And really the set-up he has is great. It is doing extremely well. But I do like those "smart" ballasts, You save electricity and at the same time they put out more light. AND!!! you can use a Metal halide or an HPS interchangably. Those are cool and only like 150- 200 ea.
And I think he is in canada which the law enforcement up there is looking for the BIG COMMERCIAL growers... But i'm sure he's still kinda nervous..

just to clear it up for ya, 1000's draw 9 amps each, & Im probably drawing another 10 for accessories.
But, if you think about it, why would your hydro supplier tell the man that youre giving them all kinds of money, seems to be to me that the hydro company has to be makin a fuckin killing off of all us growers, and if we all quit, imagine the loss in revenue for the hydro company. I know for a fact they [hydro company] dont care here in Canada as long as you keep giving them your money.
I also know a few older guys that showed me a couple things, that have been growing of off the public hydro supply for over 10 years in the same house, with double the lights that I have with no problems! So................................................ ..

Wow.........thats alot of amperage regardless of what youre doing.

Thats a dedicated line at the minimum.........probably two 30 amp dedicated lines to run the whole deal.

I am impressed with that though......I thought for sure that anyone using 8000Kw a month would be a target for certain conspiring eyes.

Seems that while one can never be too carefull........there is sure a bit of over-paranoia

I dont think running ducting for six lights would be hard.........I could easily see it being rather easy.

what ducting do you speak of?
I dont use any!

Whats ur average temperature? you may not need ventilation. Do you supplement CO2?

Oh I have ventilation comin out my ass, 5000cfm exhaust is blasted directly through a roof to outside & 1000cfm fresh air intake sucking in through an open window.
I do have a 6'' flexible duct hose to direct half of my fresh air to the other end of my room where its needed, I forgot about that 1 small piece.
Peace!
