Vertical growers would have an definitive edge, say a 1000W bulb hung horizontal can/should cover about 5ft x5ft max, the result is 25sqft coverage.
My point exactly! - the grow technique is the variable not the wattage. That's how it is possible to start assessing the skill of the grower in terms of choices made...
In classical physics, efficiency is (broadly) defined as energy out/energy in. To me it's a no-brainer: more pot out for less power in = more melted faces for the same cost! lol
Again, subjective issues cannot readily be factored into the mix... I, for example, really enjoy a certain Sativa dominant strain which is less efficient to produce than many others - To me, however, it's worth the extra cost. At least I can reliably compare the cost of production to other strains though!
