thanks for the advice guys...

so i've decided to go back to HPS but this time im gonna use a cool tube

Budget Cool Shade reflector only (IEC connection)
Bio Bizz All-Mix 20 Litre
Lti Extractor Fans 5" RVK125 A1 250m3/hour.
Nitric Acid 1 Litre (PH DOWN for hard water areas)
125mm (5") Aluminium Ducting

This is gonna cost me roughly $200. woo but it should go a long way in making my rig that bit better.

It'll then be a perpetual grow like:

Flowering Room: 12/12
1 Cool tubed 400W HPS Growlux
1 x 125W Red 7.2k cfl
0.2625kwh/day
7.875kwh/month
189.0kwhrs/month
189 x 10p(offpeak) = £18.90/month OR ~$30.00 OR ~Euro 20.02

Vegging room: 24/0
1 x 125W White 2.2k CFL
1 x 24W Mid-Ranges 4000K CFL
0.149kwhrs/day
102.28kwhrs/month
189 x 13p(peak) = £13.29 OR ~$22.00 OR ~Euro 14.07


674 Watt Lights
+ 60 watts RVK125 cool shade extractor
+ 60 watts RVK100A carbon filter cab extractor



Total Watts: 794 watts

Approx cost month: 12.35kw/h == 34.09 Euro/month



So basically it will cost me nothing to run this perpetual grow. *looks happy with himself *tsk tsk tsk!
