![]() The tomatoes that they are going to harvest are #1 organic with no poisons or chemicals and #2 going to fill at least 2 bushels. The store that I saw the light has 2 of these lights end to end over an 8' long x 5' wide hydroponics flood drain setup. As for these 4' long by 8 tube T8's, they put out a large amount of light and are 8 sq feet themselves. these are the specifics I'm looking for along with viability, etc. mapmakerWell, system cost would be a factor, of course. do you really think a 440 watt light can grow enough veggies to feed a family? A 440 watt lightbulb, if 100% efficient, could illuminate about 4 sq ft to the level of the midday sun. Yes it can be done, but it will be very expensive. Thanks again! I'll check out the off grid section for that sticky! LG just thought that it would be nicer of me to hide my veggies in a hole instead of having to take innocent, starving people's lives because they want my tomatoes!! can you store a new battery bank (dry) for any length of time, adding electrolyte when battery change out is needed? That's going to be your downfall, other than cost, if SHTF there won't be any where to get those replacements.īetter off getting a shotgun gun to protect your outdoor garden Thank you for your reply! I kind of thought that it would be out of the question but had to ask! I see that battery life is a governing factor, even if you take care of them properly! One question. Could be in two years they need replaced if mistreated. You will need to be off-grid, meaning a battery bank, batteries will need to be replaced every 5-7 years depending on how they are treated, and maintained. There is a great sticky that will help you to realize this is a bit silly. but not every day! I also thought about hooking a truck alternator up to a stationary bike and peddling my a$$ off to recharge on the darker days.Īny help would be greatly appreciated!! LG. I live in Central NY where the sun does shine from time to time. Didn't know if this idea is feasable or not. It would need to run 12 or so hours a day. Is it possible to power a florescent grow light in case the world goes to $hit and I need to grow my veggies inside away from the hoards of zombies and vegetable thieves?! The light is an envirogrow T8 8 bulb unit. Too a layman like me there's a lot of variables and calculations that would take me a long time to sort out with a large possibility of getting it wrong in the end! I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions that you pro's could give me! Even if it comes out that it can't be done, it would save me a great amount of time and money! I've read about different types of panels, controllers and battery bank sizes and spec's for different purposes. I've been reading a few threads and understand that minimizing your draw is essential.
