The Cost Of Growing Food Indoors Part 2 - Featuring Bluetti Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station

This time of year always brings up the question of what we can and cannot grow indoors from our list of favorite crops. While I find the endeavor fun, I'm much more interested in how much it all costs, regardless of what plants we choose. Today in Part 2, we look at what the lighting portion is going to cost us. Roughly.

Thanks to the good folks at Bluetti, I was able to take my greenhouse off grid and hopefully power the whole thing with their Elite 200 V2 Portable Power Station. I've bought Bluetti products in the past so I was more than happy to receive this unit to test. Bluetti are actually running a promotion RIGHT NOW, site wide with their Anniversary Sales Power Week!
