So you have this big beautiful system with all that equipment, feet of lighting for four little lettuce plants? Doesn't seem very cost effective.

Thanks, it is beautiful to me.

I haven't done the math down to the level needed to answer that question.
I only know that each of my plants are occupying about the same volume as other examples of this technique.

I'm just a tinkerer experimenting with this technique.
I did what I did according to my own unique designs.
I had no square foot agenda, but if anyone does, here is the tech data...

I sort of followed that and other examples that I studied on youtube.
I'm pretty stoked, they are growing fast!
