Everyone keeps saying this and it's true, of course. If I run my furnace at 50 degrees instead of 70, there's no doubt doing that will pay for itself very shortly. If I drive a Yugo, or Le Car instead of my 4x4 truck, that would soon pay for itself too. Fuck that noise, I don't want to freeze, I like big powerful vehicles, and I like my weed yields to be as large as possible, no matter what the savings are for smaller yields. These things that are less productive and less expensive to operate are great for some people. Personally I'll do what I can to increase yield.

Do LED's cost less to run? Yes, much less. Do you get less weed using LED's? Yes, much less, unless you use about $5000 worth of light per plant. I hope I'm not bursting your bubble too much, but you're going to need about 10 or 15 of those 100-150 light arrays you are building, per plant, to see much of anything during flowering. If you've got the funds to try experiments, great. Good for you, but considering today's technology, it doesn't exactly make financial sense unless yield is not a concern for you.

Don't forget laws of physics people. Many have tried, and all have failed, to get more energy out of something than is put in.
