I really like having a dimmer on the lights to save $$ when full power isn’t needed. Some LEDs have dimmers, and some of the HID ballasts have a selector switch for 50/75/100/boost power output. There are so many choices of lights, and it seems that with legalization the prices are going up instead of down (yeah, what’s with that?). In any case it’s good to see someone doing “more, with less”.
I’ve been really impressed with the small grows I’ve seen in this forum. @MomOnTheRun and @OniTenshu both have posts featuring smaller plants. I’m learning that it doesn’t take huge plants to have a successful grow
