Obviously you can lower your watt/square ft lower than the usual ~50 watts/sq ft and increase your yield, but how are we not even considering quality? Shit is real competitive and if you get subpar quality its going to be hard to flip. You're probably right on the line of production capacity at that point too and its taking a risk that should be worked slowly up. It isn't just going to happen. You're going to need multiple runs with careful notes each time getting a little better.
you're looking for a "flip flop"Made me think of the wasted 12 hrs of the dark half of a 12/12 cycle
if a guy made use of this unused light with a two tent light mover hmm just a smok'en idea
If you too broke to buy another light you are doing it all wrong!!!
I do not see a lot of teamwork anymore. Do any of you know how many 1,000 w MH starters and cones the DOT in your state/province retire per year? You say you do not want to show up on the grid monitoring system, not even enough "professional growers" have a professional electrician search out all power vampires. There are many on older farms and acreages, fixing these and unnecessary hook ups can save you $300 a month. Then unhooking a 300 w MV security lamp brought me down to where I could operate 6 metal halide system on 3 whirlybird's constructed by a mechanic. These were in the days before anyone had medical and our collective served a sizable portion of the central portion of the state. Get me an electrician, a mechanic, and a contractor's employee and a tractor with a front end loader and I can do the same for you at $45 over your current electric costs.
My lighting was set up for 440 with a 220 transformer/starter and the method my electrician hooked up the lighting turning system and speed what actually cost most was my Vita Light Power Twist Florescent set-up which was always operating. My 2 to 3 ounce clones thrived well under MH once well rooted I limited myself to 20 clones under a programmable professional self watering system with two outlets for finishing clones and watering Veg. growth. You might be surprised where you can vent grow rooms. I am trying to get those in illegal states to adopt my zero detection system. It takes teamwork that I could find again no sweat!!!
