    24(hours) x 0.80(price per kWh) x 7(days per week)x 12(total weeks your flowering the plants off.

    That's £1612.80p per crop.
    Makes me a bit sick looking at it. However, that's still cheaper than buying it round my way.

    You say that but how much will the weed go up in the next year?
    In 2020 I was paying 18p kWh, next year I could be paying 80p per kWh, last year, I could buy some weed local for £140(oz) guessing it could be £250(oz) next year.

    I really feel sorry for anyone setting up a new grow, put all the effort and money in, just to pull a few zips, takes lots of experience to pull a good crop and make it worth the investment.
    It would cost over 2 grand for the setup, lights, seeds and the electric etc , you could buy a lot of weed for that at no risk or effort.

    Think there going to be a decline in new percy growers.

    I'm looking to reduce the amount I consume.
    Switching from joints to cannacaps. I smoke about 10g a week, 5 joints a day at about .3g per joint, but 10g could make 200 caps. At 5 caps a day 10g could last over a month, even if I need to double the strength it should still last twice as long as smoking it.
