I could run autos in a commercial setting just fine.

Not saying I would do it. Just saying it wouldn't cost much more and possibly cheaper and could get the same yield.

Pretty sure that running auto's would result in a higher bill over a period of a year. It has to be cheaper per gram to run photo's if using the gas light schedule even though I tried many years ago and was not impressed with yield, could have been me :(. Until this summer I was hard pressed to recommend an auto for the lack of potency but my grow this year has been an eye opener as to the quality that can be had, yup I'm rambling, just smoked some auto think different :).

I am doing my first auto ever and I see the difference already compared to photo looks like it will have very low yield under 1000 watt hps . yes auto is running 12/12 with the photos not going to burn the lights more then 12/12 auto looks like its not worth any thing . again I am talking about tomato plants . to stupid to go to the fruit market joke

People get hung up on autos.

They are good smoke if done right. Factor in making your own seeds and that wouldn't be a problem.

I personally would run photos and autos if I were growing.

People see to forget that you can take a newer xxl auto and get half pound in 90 days. I know that's not the same as clones. Once you setup and stage them I sure a person can make good money.

So ours are probably comparable lol. My last bill was $48 in power consumption and $200 in extra fees :(. They charged $100 delivery and a debt repayment charge (their debt not mine), taxes, and a bunch of other bullshit lol.

Never tried a auto at 12/12 but yup I hear they don't amount to much, kind of the same as a photo 12/12 from seed which really sucked when I did it lol. And where do I find an auto tomato that you speak of :).

Mine is $250 right now and I have nothing going on except keeping the AC on in my bedroom and occasionally the whole house. Winter months it's $650 and I heat mostly with pellets, the lab is powered up then though :(.

Some of the most dense, amazing quality buds I've grown personally were under (1000 watts draw) shit LED and fluoro combined. That said I run a 600W DigiMax HPS now, but the elite-tier high and mid power LESs are the future. Not to beat a dead horse needlessly or anything.

I know the COBS are showing great results and the higher end LED's as well but burple lights not so much from what I've seen. Although they do grow nice plants the burples are no match against a equivalent hps. But given my power bill trust me I'm tempted lol. Even my T5's do ok but not quite as good. Watt for watt they do well though
