HPS 400w Vs MarsHydro TSW2000 cost

tricombo420started grow question 4y ago

Alguém me sabe dizer o quanto menos uma luz LED gasta comparado a uma HPS ? Por exemplo, estou usando uma HPS 400w, e subiu 40€ na conta de eletricidade, se usar uma MarsHydro TSW2000, iria fazer grande diferença ? Obrigado

Ignore fake advertising numbers and look at the actual wattage consumed by the light. Your LED light consumes 300 watts (ignore the fake 2'000 number) versus 400 watts for the HPS. So, it consumes 75% as much power, or you can say it uses 25% less electricity.

I'm seriously thinking about getting a TSW2000. Everything I've read upon it, people are getting close to 2g per watt. So it should outperform the 400w considerably.

I believe you should get a similar production to the 400w hps but only consuming 300w.

I think the tsw draws about 300w where a 400w hps draws 400w. So your power consumption would be 3/4. If it cost 40 for your hps it will cost you 30 with the tsw.

Is my LED too close or too far from my plant?So this is my first grow and it feels like she’s growing a bit slow. Currently at day 10. Distance was 62 cm. The LED is 100W. Now the distance is 57 cm. I’m wondering if I’m just impatient. Is this distance appropriate? How is the growth looking?

Irregular light schedule.I am thinking about giving her 24h lights a few days a week and then go back to 18h. Just to give her a boost. Will this irregular light schedule harm her? My first thought is that it doesn’t matter much since she is an auto, however I know that plants love balanced environments.

Grow light question I bought a cheap light by KingLED. It’s only 100 Watts and I’m unsure if it’s enough for one plant. The light has 2 switches, one for veg and one for flower. Should I always have both on since it will be an autoflower?

When did the flowering start?The LED panel, after switching (Ts600 Mars Hydro), stayed slightly on even during the dark hours. I managed to fix the issue, but I'm not sure how to count the flowering period. The plant had shown some differentiation, a few pistils, and a bit of stretching. What do you think?
