GSZZ Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Its cost money to grow weed, its just one of them things. You need to work out how much you're producing, vs how much its costing, vs how much you're saving on not buying street weed and then decide whether its worth your time. If you've already done that, then you need to look at stuff like insulation, LEDS, EC fans, efficient heating options etc anything you can to shave the watts off where you can. You can go down a rabbit hole with it if you let yourself, but ultimately if you need X amount of bud, and that requires Y amount of space and Z amount of light then you're paying for it. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be best telling all why it's costing you £10 a day and maybe you will get some tips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah 3kw of lighting, and then everything else, electricity costs money if you arent prepared to drop a tenner a day on powering all that I'd considering sacking it 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 @Grow lady Wow I can see why? 3Kw + If this is a personal grow then I assume you smoke a lot or are you making edibles? Maybe do one grow a year if it satisfies your needs or do you continually grow? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Gremlin Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 £10 a day to run that set up dont seem to expensive to me, especially since all the energy price hikes. I get through nearly that amount daily without a grow on, that is thanks to storage heaters, hot water heating, washing machine etc The weed you crop will soon make up for the £10 a day, look at it as that £10 would only be a gram of street weed. I would rather pay £10 a day leccy and have a monster haul of weed, compared to buying £10 grams of shite. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Badgeley Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If you are OK paying then why the question? Try running only 1 area? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
