hey Stoned Engineer,
GREAT GREAT thread! got a few things i can help you with and a few things you need to know about growing these girls! First of i just want to say WOW for one you definatly know what your talking about with the electronics, just out of curiosity you majored in electrical engenering correct? alright down to the basics. i noticed you were talking about using less hours of light to grow "less potent" bud, using ten hours as your number, unfortunatly bud NEEDS at least 12 hours during flowering, no less. during vegatative growth you could drop to 16hr light 8 dark, which most growers use. but this still means you can drop your power consumption down during flowering. secondly, if you made a separate vegatative room, not only can you keep your flowering room seprate, you can use a nice t5HO florecent lamp to grow clones,small mother plants, seedling, and medium sized plants before you put them into flowering. a 98w 2ft setup works great for this, i actualy am using one now in my grow room. and another issue i saw with your proposal is you were talking about growing say mids.Novice growers often dont realise that great bud is very easy to grow, without seeds and very potent. these plants are all female and called sensamilla, i believe its spanish for without seed. So for one your plants will fetch a far greater payout,wich GC does not like you talking about so id discourage talking about selling or dealing. but growing is definatly not a problem here! another problem is you were talking about using a MV lamp. unfortunatly these lamps produce great lum/watt ratio, but do not have a very good light spectrum for growing the gonja. you would be far better suited going with a HPS lamp. they have a near sun like spectum, and are decent when it comes to efficency, since thats what you looking for in a solar/renuable energy grow. id love to bounce back some ideas with you if you want to pursue this! Your knowledge of electricity you cold be a legend on the gc and to growers worldwide! there are far more things id love to share with you but i must leave now, ill keep an eye on this thread! good luck and toke on!
