Alternating Light Sequences to Cut Heat and Electricity
My friend has a 12' x 12' sealed room with 6 Magnum XXXL 1000 Watt lights. Two rows with 3 lights per string strings. There is about a 2.5 foot walkway between the two strings To help explain the setup we will call the 3 lights on the left hand side 1, 2, 3 and the 3 lights on the right hand side 4, 5, and 6.
Is it possible to alternate lights 1, 3, 5 every 2 hours with lights 2, 4, 6 (total of 6 times during 12 hour light cycle). Essentially this would cut the heat and electricity in half. Would he be able to expect anywhere near the same yields by doing this? Take into consideration these XXXL hoods have amazing cross lighting coverage. Obviously it wouldnt be be ideal but would it work. Has anyone done this and what were your experiences? Thanks in advance.
