I ride the onewheel to “work” about 1/4 mile, its approaching 2500miles.
Thats an air handler for one of the 5 ton split units. There is 1 in each room. The two flower rooms can share air with 16” inline fans or the ac is just enough to cover the 15 hps lights and 8 315cmhs in each room. There are two quest 506s and 2 quest 155s for dehuies connected to the trolmaster. A 750lb co2 tank lasts about 6 weeks keeping co2 between 800-1500 on a timer connected to the trolmaster. Everything is wifi controlled by my phone. I am a one man operation with 5-6 trimmers working 1-2 days a week, same people for the last 10 years. The trolmaster irrigation has been nice. It allows adjustments by the second and i build up to 7 or so short feedings a day. I run a 275 gal freshwater tote that i adjust ph in and then its pumped through dosatrons for feedings. That way you can turn off the dosatrons and mix a batch in the tank of whatever you want for special extras, regalia, organicide, aquabac xt, whatever.
My real job is in the city so going to and from work a friend and i run 100 lights there set up similar to this one.
The hps still beats the leds for production in my experience but in the led room i actually run the heat to keep it warm enough even with the lights on so thats their advantage for sure. I pay about 2500 a month power and i bet if i swapped out to leds it would be half that. I think the decision is really just a matter of power. If you can cool hps, its the winner, but either one will put out quality flower. The hps will put out more per square foot just because its more watts and you can light up bigger plants. The LEDS are way cooler and easy to dim so i am still on the fence. My plan has been to grow in the winter and travel in the summer forever. Winter growing favors hps. I hope to find a small farm near the equator where i can hear the pacific and the hunt starts in two weeks.
