One day back in 2012 Hydro Grow set to find out what is the absolute lowest gram per watt one could achieve using our lights.
To find the answer to this question, an experiment was conducted in our offices with a X1 21X-PRO (28W) LED grow light and a Grobal Self-Watering Planter:
The Grobal pot costs $27.45 shipped through Amazon, and as you can see from the photo above has a very shallow area for the roots. They supply a mixture of soil and coco to use as the growing media, which was used for the test.
The decision was made to create a grow test that anyone could replicate regardless if they had grown before or not, and to make it as cheap and effortless as possible. Thus the name "Set it and forget it", as that's precisely what was done.
The 21X-PRO is our smallest light, and as such had the lowest PAR output and penetration of any model because it is a single light engine. It retails for $249, making the total retail cost of this grow $276.45 (less than an ounce in most places).
Sour60 Seeds had been supplied by MDanzig and were of the "strong" phenotype. The seed was placed in the soil/coco mixture, the pot was filled with plain tap water, and it was set on a shelf with no fan.
