Which is also a way to work out your gram/watt ratio

720 hours per 30 days
720 x 0.4 (400 Watt) = 288 kw energy used per 30 days
Yield, say 168g (6oz) per 30 days
168/288 = 0.58
= 0.58g of bud produced per kilowatt hour of energy used.

If it was costing you say 20c per KWH, then it's costing you roughly $9.65 in electricity to produce an ounce of buds.

well thanks for the encouragement Hebrew 13:6 my fav read from the bible. i have a 150 sunsystem2.I plan on useing that and the 400 for flowering, so it will be 550 watts. I see people get 4 or 7 from a 400 watt with 1 plant,so I think i can hit my goal maybe more if i can get 1 or two plants to come out ever 2 weeks. Only way to know is to do.

You need to go to Radio Shack and buy this hand-held microscope. U need to see the Trich change...when they gone from clear to cloudy to amber....time to harvest. Heres a link to that microscope: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2179604 ...haha read the reviews...I think this was invented for growers!!!! Keep it Green Ter-Dog!!!
