i have a friend that is growing and his bill went up by almost $600 and he was worried that people might know you are growing in the house.

well if im doin this right. last month i used 3641 kwh. thats cost me $244.46. if i divide this correctly that means im paying 6 cents per kwh... that isnt bad! ive did this to the past 3 mnths and it all says 0.06...

hmm so 4000K and (2) 15" fans + (1) 6" fan, during bloom (12/12), and 1000 extra in a sep veg area (if i have cycles dialed in)(18/6), would be about, hmmm $1000 - $1100 a month? :/

ive been looking at this thread forever and still tryin to wrap my head around it. im staring at my power bill and it says the first 1000 kwh is just about 6 cents, and anything over is.07. but the in the next column its sayin the same shit but it says fuel charge. i have an electric stove, heater, everything is electric. i guess maybe hot water heater isnt but the column for this fuel cost is the same price almost as the energy cost. wtf? bottom line, im trying to see with 3-4 nice plants, either a soil or basic hydro setup, 400 hps running 18 for veg and 12 flower, whats my cost a month gonna go up? being as i alreadypay close to 400 a month in the summer, and average 1800 kwh a month. please let me know

I have a super sweet room I just got done building. I am introducing some co2 1st off, tank and regulator only, EITHER 3 600 hps OR 2 600s and 1 1000. I have a 12,000 btu LG cooler brand new, 2 18" fans, 4 6" inline blowers, and then some timers and controllers some take a small amount of energy. Ill let you guys know what this costs me to run in about 4 weeks or less. Ill havbe no veg time so it will be based just off flowering. Haze
