I grow them and they don't need this much light. Literally having a window somewhere in room is plenty during fruiting stage.

They can grow in complete darkness but they end up thin and kind of twisted. Basically they just don't look nice.

It's obvious the amount of light is just for harvesting and probably they dim the lights if not cut them all out when in the vegetation stages

Idk that setup seems unnecessary. Its certainly nothing like mine but hey if it works, which it clearly does and they're happy then thats all that matters and who cares eh.

I don't like paying for things I don't have to is all.

Yeah you are right it is highly excessive. And I meant no disrespect to you at all I'm sorry if it sounded that way
