I have read some of the threads on this already and I would like to get a better answer to my specific questions.
I have built the grow box. Installed a 400 wt HPS light, with cfl undergrow help and the seedling stage that can be raised and then installed around the walls once plants have grown. My first question concerns fans. I have 6 cpu fans 120mm at a .13 a rating. I have a 2000ma ac adaptor (2a right) .13 x 6 = .78 This should be well under the 2a that the acadaptor can handle correct?
My second question is concerning the power bill. Its a long story that I'm not getting into so the short version is I'm back where I never wanted to be. The power bill went from 486 kwh in 32 days to 1293 kwh in 30 days since my first month back. I have a heck of an electronics setup for video games and computer stuff. I've done the math for the usuage of the grow box and its less then the difference from just my electronics. My question is if I shut down serverly limit my other electronics then start using the grow box the power usage isn't going to attract unwanted attention is it? They haven't knocked on the door yet so if 486 went to 1293 and then it stays there or goes back down (more then likely my computer eats more then 600 watt grow box) I should be in the clear as far as power company knows.
