WH will go from a vibrant healthy green, to a ugly mushy brown very
quickly when brought inside. That is unless you put them in a room with
a least a 1000W Metal Halide lamp over them, but then the cost of
running that light 8 - 10 hours a day for 3 - 4 months (at .11 cents a
KWH) will dwarf the cost of buying new plants the next spring.
..11/KWH X 8 hrs X 90-120 days = $80.00 - $120.00

Not to mention the cost of the fixture and bulb @$200.00.

$280.00 - $320.00 ? for a few "invasive weeds" My wallet says OUCH!!!

6 new WH (even at my LFS price of $3.50 ea. = $21.00
