A Generator is not feasable where I am at, and the costs would be too much for this small show.
As far as the electric, I just pay it. It is just another cost of doing business.
The Power bill is more then my mortgage. Sad but true.
Roddy, The hand watering takes me 3 hours or so, but for me, it is my ZEN. It is the best part of the day for me and it is just plain relaxing. I usually make 3 different nuit mixes for this particular run, being that there are 5 different strains.
Jesuse...the room is actually less then 99 plants. I am legally allowed to go up to 495 plants, but I don't want to entice the feds with big numbers.
I have really been starting to work with more Sativa influenced strainsSativa's produce so much more weight and you can acheive the weight with fewer plants. IE. The Chem for instance. Str8 Sativa. I am running 27 Chem plants in one 16' x 4' tray (custom built). There are 5-1000watt lights over that area. I expect 4-6 and even maybe a few 8 ounce plants to come from it. I think if I would have used less plants it would have been better. they would all average around 6-8 per plant with less plants and more fimmin'. Next round.
The Canopy is so important. FIM'in the plants is a HUGE help. I Fim the girls quite a bit. It does take longer to recover then traditional topping, but as long as you plan for it, it is no big deal.
I also supercrop. Those girls get a nice twist of the stalks all thru veg and alot the first 2 weeks of flower as they are in stretch. Some stalks I will straight twist, and others just bend. It is all about letting the lower branches "catch up" to the mains and creating an even thick canopy.
