Electric costs

[harrychilds]

is your heater 2kW

Yeah it's 2KW but it's on the 1KW setting, it couldn't still possibly draw 2KW could it?

 

[harrychilds]

I’m still waiting for which light your talking about because what you’ve described may be the problem ?

It's the lumatek 465w Pro dude

 

[Herb & Suds]

It's the lumatek 465w Pro dude

Says 11 k

 

[Hollatchaboy]

So is electric

For sure. We're doomed.

 

[Hiphophippo]

Yeah it's running constantly and killing my electric off lol but I have to keep it running to keep the seedlings warm

Try using a different heater I use the varnado heaters they don’t use large elements and are very cost efficient and very very effective would recommend them to anyone I heat a 10x20 space to any temp I want with fans running with one little box heater that pulls 4 amps when running

I wouldn’t think a disk type heater is the best idea around water

This is the beeznezz for small grow areas

I'm going to buy a 500watt oil filled radiator instead of using this 2,000 watt beast. And if that doesn't fix it I'm going to follow Herb & Suds advice and swap over to HID lighting

 

[Hiphophippo]

Just make sure you cover the led displays so you don’t have light creeping on your ladies at dark time

 

[yesterdaysnews]

United kingdom dude, it's a pay as you go tariff

OOOOOOO,,, your getting screwed to death power wise right now and they have some really messed up energy cost, tax, use and management crap in the UK and EU that most if not all North Americans haven't a clue about. Your not using more power. Your being charged more because of the war and the BS shit storm of a system the UK and EU have. I would have thought you would have been on top of all that crap....

I wouldn’t waste my money on a radiator heater as there only effective in a close area after you move about three feet away or your exhaust kicks on all your heat is gone and the amount of time it takes to make that up your exhaust fan will run again and your back at square one

 

[Hiphophippo]

I didn’t realize you are in the uk I imagine your energy bill is just climbing up sorry for the input if it’s not usable

I'm only in a 4x4 tent dude, the one im using right now seems to keep it nice and warm without loosing heat, but it's just costing too much money, I had about £70 on electric last week and I worked it out to be about 100 dollars

Yeah, I think that's what it is, they are screwing us over and charging us nearly double if not triple the price it should be.

 

[oldsilvertip55]

Yeah it's all controlled with the inkbirds dude, temp and humidity

i would wrap that thing in 2 inch foam board . but then the fans will for sure run.

 

[Lordhooha]

That would run 4-5 hondos a month here.

Damn Canada is expensive

 

[harrychilds]

My seedlings are drooping like crazy, (they need a feed). And the electric company is screwing me over. Damn lol

 

[Lordhooha]

I thought I was dreaming when I woke up and the electric ran out and was off lol

How cold do you keep your house where your tent is at????

 

[harrychilds]

How cold do you keep your house where your tent is at????

my house is about 20c and the tent is about 23/24c, the heater is barely on. It's just keeping things warm for the seedlings

I’m gonna guess like many in the UK he is in a loft
