True but to answer your question if you use only CFL lighting source the effect on the bill should be nominal. Figure out the kwH costs of your lighting or the lighting setup you intend to have to get a general idea of what your monthly cost should be.

If you cant pay your mom then do her a favor and be good do chores without whining and maybe wash her car every once in a while. A little good will goes a long way when you are trying to stay un noticed. Plus dude its your mom.

yeah but im sure at the very least you do the washing up for your mom and take the trash out and do a lot of jobs for her around the house, I know you wouldnt be that harsh.

yeah man fluro's dont raise it 100... lol try turning off everything in ur house. etc... i live with my rents still im 18, our hot water is lowered, so its almost 100 below normal, i could run a 1000watt HPS/MH and she wouldent know
with the mh 18/6 she might be wondering, but when i use hps 12/12 she wont know.

Dude, you shouldn't be growing in your moms house anyway. You are putting her and all her belongings at risk. Save some money and get your own place to grow. Aint fair to your mom dude.

100 watts of cfl will not cause a $100 spike anyway. I run about 360 watts of cfl and only pay about an extra $15-20

i have 8 cfl's running...and i only noticed a $3 jump in my bill. I think your mom is pulling your chain.

But here' the cold hard truth.... STOP FUCKING GROWING IN YOUR PARENTS HOUSES!!!!!! Grow up and move out and start growing where only YOU will get in shit. Have some respect for your mom, we wouldn't want to see her lose everything and go to jail for your stupid ass.

Sounds like your mom want you to just start paying her back or mabey she wants you out. The bill would literally only be a few extra $ a mounth
