Cool man! That's awesome dude, I was just wondering...

Mine is based off of a 3bdrm house, hot tub pump, full size a/c unit, 1 400w, and a few flourescents... $220 a month...

Just curious if I expand... but that's fuckin' crazy...

Anyone know the minimum kwh to red flag the elec company... I know it's up there, just curious??

My post was based off a 29 day reading lol...

Damn... I started growin so I don't have to buy weed, but a $400 elec. bill is just the same...

I'm sure you're pullin' more than personal need with that kind of usage though...

Definately something to think abouth though...

Thanks for the info tommy!

wow. mine is about 105 a month. i just have a swamp cooler, 3 bedroom house t5 light 360 watts 18 hours a day. soon an hps 1000 watt hopefully. but as far as flagging i dont know. just pay your bill they shouldn't care.

Mine averaged 2000 in the summer and 4000 in the winter(I have electric heat) BEFORE I started growing in a 3 bedroom house.

This post is great!!!! People in the UK are worried when using 3x600s in flower!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha ha, this is great to see what yous lot are runnin

manny

At the collective we are pulling 12k for flower and now 4k for veg + fans and all that good stuff. The bill is amazingly low due to a few cicumstances. Don't worry im not stealing it, but it is a steal with how much we pay for it.

are electric companies not bothered in the usa

Yes in america they do take notice of extreemly high usage. However 5000 would not be enough to be noticed. I personally know people who average 7500 a month(and they don't even grow). And their usage has never been questioned. I would think that no matter where your at a high amount of usage would raise a red flag, but that exact amount is alot higher than most people think.

They send u these letters if ur power all of sudden jumps to show u how much ur using compared to last month. Think this is only in cali but might be other places too. I haven't gotten one myself yet (my mini grow made the power usage almost double). Saw a thread on here somewhere about one of those letters. As long as you pay up, companies are happy.
