600 watt LED Closet Grow - Round 1!

Here they are today.. looking nice imo.

Now

How much did your first grow yield with those 2 gal? I'm doing 3 plants as well.

You might want to trim up the bottom growth so they'll send more energy to the flowering tops.

You're right, I should have done that. I think it's probably too late now.

It came out real nice imo.. Just sampled after 7 days drying in a closet using a shoebox with holes in it and rotating a couple of times over the week for fresh air.

Very very nice! Taste, smell and effect after a single water pipe inhalation are absolutely meeting and exceeding my standards!

All jarred up now, a quality and pleasant personal yield.

The BIG QUESTION>> how did much did you yield and was your energy bill?

I'm not sure, I didn't bother weighing or looking at my energy bill.

The reasons for this include knowing that I'm not a pro-grower, enjoy small setups (hence the micro grow forum this thread is in), acknowledge that my yield might not be 'omg bro!" status and don't care and am not worried about LED light energy consumption.

I have the Viparspectra PAR 600 light myself for those curious about power consumption. During veg I used only the white and blue spectrum (due to heat issues) which was about 180 W per hour. So at 18/6 you would use 3.2 kW. Full spectrum it uses about 276 W during 12/12 you would use about the same 3.3 kW.

All-in-all I am looking at my full grow with fans and it is approximately just over 4.2 kW a day during veg and flower. As this is my first grow I know everyone is obsessed with the gram per watt for panels but I am looking at my grow as a whole and would be happy with my return based my 24 hour electric consumption average (which is 175 W per hour approximately) I am only growing in a 2x2.5 closet and hope to average or be close to the 175 grams a run mark. I feel like if I hit that I am doing well and anything over would be cake and I could pat myself on the back.

Congrats on your first grow! Best of luck on your future ones as well.
