yeah he was also using 15 gallon pots bro. bigger root system, bigger plants, bigger buds. all goes hand in hand. and damn thats alot of money for electric! when i flipped my 1450watts on my power bill went down! I also started being much more concious about things i leave on in the house(lights, computer, stereo etc.) but with 1450w, ebbngro hydro system, 2 fans, can fan, dehumidfyer, and another 250mh over my clones my bill was only about 280 a month in a 3 bedroom house. your hot water heater uses roughly 3000 watts. cut that off, live with cold showers and throw 3 more 1000's in!
