Without a grow our electricity has been running about $145 with the AC on in a 4/3 1700sq foot house. It was running almost $190 but I switched all light bulbs in the house over to CFL's and it dropped almost $50 a month, maybe more because I did that as we turned on the AC.

To CFL the whole house cost $250 but at $50 a month it will pay for it itself in 5 months.

I just moved to orlando, I am dreadfully bored i need to find some chill places. Either maybe somewhere that I can meet some florida stoners and laid back people or maybe some cool places to hike and chill. Im from up north and want to experience the marijuana culture down south. Someone help me out please.

I see your trying to watch your electric.
Try this, Make an extension cord with a 240 dryer adapter. Run cord to a sub panel and plug lights ect into that panel...You will notice on some of your ballasts that it will say 120 9.5 amps 240 5 amps. Using this method you will cut your amps in 1/2 on most of your equiptment. Good Luck. You can go to Home depot they will know the proper cord size and the plug you will need.

DO NOT USE THE WRONG CORD!! IT WILL GET TO HOT.

Heh.... hate to burst your electrical bubble but 120V 9.5A is EQUAL to 240v 5A. There are no free rides. :lol:
