Light reduction

Is it ok if I have 3 lights in my flower tent (2) 600 watts and (1) 1000 watt to remove one of them without affecting the flower cycle? I have to do whatever I can to cut down the $230 electric bill that normally about $110-130 a month

Depends on the space you’re trying to cover and the types of lights you’re using. If it’s HID lights, a 1000w typically has you covered for a 4x4 space.

@BobbyDigital they are all LED 1000 watt Gixxer, 600 watt Viparspectra, and 600 watt bloomspect!!

I’m switching from tent to tent and need to take one out of the old one and out it into the new one so I can move the plants in there, but then only add one more to the new tent, instead of the 2 more, leaving the new tent with 2 light rather than 3.

from this!! to this!!

What size tent?

The 1000w really only draws 110w
The bloomspect only draws 132w
The vipar draws 260w.

Each one is good for about a 2x2 space. Not sure how those lights are raising your electric bill $100. I’m running 550 true watts of HLG lights and it’s only running about $30 a month.

No not just the lights brother, it’s everything, you figure 2 tents with 3 lights in one 2 in the other, plus 2 humidifiers, 5 fans 2 inline fans dehumidifiers and heaters it’s all slot on top of my regular bill plus here in Michigan are gas and electric are the same company so that’s gas and electric together but my electric usage was outrageous, I’ve been trying to buy all low wattage stuff too but now I have these new AC infinity setup’s with the control panel Should help, because when the tent is closed the ac infinity control keeps temp and humidity exactly where you want it, super nice set-up

Yeah I’ve got a few of the ac infinity’s. The 4” ones are pretty underpowered but once you get into the 6” and up they’re really impressive. Especially for as quiet as they are

Before I got these ac infinity cloudlabs I was using the spare bedroom the tents are in as my lung room, and just managing everything in the room as whole and leaving the tent doors open with the room split into 2 with 2 triple layered blacked out king size sheets, for the light schedule difference of veg and flower, that was working fine, but I think I had to have too much running to keep that room stable so I’m hoping with these tents, controllers and inlines from AC infinity, I’ll be able to manage the tents individually with less stuff, there’s a problem I have here that’s causing the use of my exhaust and all my fans so much and that is odor, I rent and have connected neighbors who love telling, I’ve been pretty covert this far and will keep it that way with or without a reduction of my electricity bill​:joy::joy:

I think I got a new revised 4 inch cuz that mofo has some pull!!

That may be. My 4” has the dc motor but the 6” and 8” have the ec motor. The 8” could probably suck up a medium size dog if it got too close.

This guy just got here

What’s that one? Haven’t seen the roof fan

Not exactly sure but did i

t like this, and removed the Gixxer 1000 watt, and left 2 600 watts in there, I hope that don’t mess em up this is how I got the big and little ones, I wish I woulda switched em tho, with the big one on the left

Oh so it’s just a normal ac infinity fan. Threw me off as my boxes never said roof fan and I know they make a bunch of different types.

@BobbyDigital hey am I allowed to say I have a ton of grow equipment I no longer need for half off the Amazon prices on here?

There isn’t any exchanges of personal information allowed here. Your best bet would be eBay or there is another forum called growers network that has private messaging and I believe “items for sale” section. There’s a bunch of the people here over there as well.

Get rid of the Gixxer. It’s Not a 1000 watt light, Hell, it’s not even a 200 watt light. It has a
90v draw from the wall and is good for MAYBE one plant.

@PhillyRock yeah unfortunately I bought it in the beginning of all this shenanigans, I bought hundreds of dollars worth of stuff I literally do not need after all my experimenting :rofl::joy::rofl::shushing_face::shushing_face:, so anyways yeah I found my home in AC infinity products and bought the whole line for the 2x2 and 3x3x80 grow tents, and use 3 lines of nutes (obviously not at the same time) buy in8se sensi bloom pH perfect for coco, Big bud and overdrive all (advanced nutrients) I use bloom city organics nutrient box, and I bought TPS ONE, not sure if your familiar but it’s literally one nute from veg to bloom just once a day feeding with it, so yeah I found my faves and I swear I thought this grow was gonna be a bomb, but it’s turning out REALLY NICE, with the advanced nutes in fabric pots using coco, I sometimes keep my grow room completely sealed with mad negative pressure for odor control when my neighbors are home, buy when so I use a pro CO2 bucket.

Same here.

I’m sitting on 5 grow lights I can’t do a damn thing with because they are all junk.
(Not that I can’t use them for a single project plant here and there but certainly not
in my tent).
I was dumb and didn’t do my homework. Each light was better than the last but STILL should
have just bought the HLG LED from the start.
