  1. They post pictures of those things in operation in High Times every now and then. It's really only for commercial growers or serious medical providers, I can't imagine a closet grower shelling out $3000 plus power and water to run that thing.
     
  2. 3000+ in power? Well lets just pretend that the light is 1000 watts, thats 15-40 a month. The motor to just spin the whole thing wich iv seen these in real life befor and they spin quite slow so lets just say it does take 15 horsepower to turn that thing all the way around oh once every hour? once every 30 mins? once ever 15? it still wont use much power.

    and lets not forget the power to just refil the res at the bottom once a day, but lets pretend it uses more than that 5 times a day.

    This sounds like a under 100 a month thing to me.

    I want one.

    Unless I am missing something about how this thing works this shouldnt be to expencive to run.

    Oh woops I missred I thought you said 3000+ in power a month my bad oh well I still observed the machine quite well.
     
  3. i could build somthing like that
     
  4. carousel, damn
     
  5. He didnt say 3000+ in power he said 3000$ to buy the hulking beast then power on top.
