WATTAGE COST CALCULATOR

These calculations are all for a canvas depth of 1-foot (12-inches) and a height of 5-feet (60-inches), for effective active vertical canvas growth. The square volume under the cylinder volume is for comparison to traditional horizontal canvas growth. Volumized light is formulated to compensate for the average lumens within this vertical growth of the canopy. Volumized light uses lumens for a comparison only, with a standard lumens chart which is locate below.

All data used for these calculations is a mixture of collected published data, and private trial studies with actual constructed setups. This data should be used as a loose guide, as every plant gene and construction variable has not been accounted for.

The addition of cooling to the light and room, as well as the addition of hydroponics watering, will extend the volume of available light and reduce the chance of burn. The addition of CO2 will have little impact if the light volume is not within the green, yellow or peach areas.

* Burn and bleaching distance is severely reduced, due to the fact that vertical grows do not use reflectors that normally focus IR light/heat back onto the center plants. Also note that canvas depth and useful light is extended, due to the fact that the leaves are not able to cast shadows as well. This is only true if a 12-inch run-width is maintained for each plant, giving adequate exposure at any distance from the bulb.

Marijuana reform will help to create laws that make, once illegal actions, legal. Do your part to vote for elected officials who support legalization, decriminalization, and medical marijuana in your state. The news is growing, as are we, into a future of change. With little space and bright minds in the light, the drug facts will prevail over stupid criminals in the corrupt legal system. It is easy to grow up, but hard to sink down to their level. HPS, CFL, MH and solar power will have greater influence on the light which is hidden within the majority. Watts, Amps, Volts and Power are all calculated and regulated for the most ideal growth of our nation. Show your support for herbs, weed, marijuana, hemp, green, grass, ganja, and the rising vertical lights that hang above. Drug cartels, mafia, presidents, czars, politicians, people, kids, teens, and doctors should not be kept in the same jails and prisons.
