A few tips and some common sense will help you reduce your expenses in the indoor cultivation of cannabis. In some respects, no expense should be spared if we want a good harvest as a purchase of seed quality or fertilizers that provide us with a maximum guarantee to ensure that the growth process is realized in optimal conditions. However, you can save by following some simple tips.
There are methods with which farm experts can save electricity (to be considered with the rates that utilities have today). It is a method by which you can have the light on for fewer hours (up to 6 hours less) and get good results. This would involve giving the plant 12 hours of light during the vegetative phase (instead of 18 hours), then turn off the bulb five and a half hours to reactivate, then one hour, and turn off the other five and a half hours. Experts say that in addition to saving light, marijuana pushes a lot more than applying more light.
Having a timer is a good option to avoid having to keep an eye out and turn on the lights ourselves. In the flowering stage, keep the lights on between 11 and 9 hours (less than the last two weeks of flowering) and the remaining hours until 24 hours will be off.
If you use electronic ballasts instead of magnetic ones, you will save a good spike of electricity, plus such devices extend the life of the bulb and provide up to 30% more light.
The Quantum Digital Light
The Quantum, for example, will save you energy at all times because it incorporates a power regulator to adjust the amount of light needed for each stage of the crop. The farmer will consume less energy.
As the plants grow, they need more light, so you can regulate the ballast light and increase it according to the growth phase of the moment, a considerable saving in the electricity bill will result in each month.
LED Lamps
The economy of LED lamps now makes almost everyone know that the type of light is used to save energy.
These types of lamps or bulbs produce light through the current passing through a semiconductor material (instead of burning a filament like traditional light bulbs). This causes the electrons to circulate and produce light without losing energy in the form of heat, as is the case with traditional light bulbs.
For example, the Orion LEDs, in which one of its main advantages is that the diodes do not lose energy to produce heat, and therefore the LEDs have a very strong use of energy.
