Default Hydro consumption
Does anyone know what the average household hydro consumption would be for an Ontario residence? Just a little worried about the amount of consumption. I'm running 6 600's for flowering and about 1000W for vegetation and want to up it to 10 600's. I have a 3 bedroom house and this is the only electricity being used. I keep hearing different things these days about the SAFE amount of consumption and am looking for some clarification. I used to run 2400w for flowering and 1000w for vegetation somewhere else for two years plus I lived in the place and never had a problem. What do you think??

Ten 600s would be 6000 watts. If that's the only electricity you use, I honestly don't think it would cause a problem. The average household has a couple of TVs, a computer, a stereo system, ect.

ya I guess they would but i am going to try my best to cover it with running other things after the 12 hours and those twelve hours will be during daytime hours. I was also thinking of running a generator a few times a week to cover up some of the wattage use. Or even break the room up into two or three different hours of the day. Any suggestions

ya, thats what I am thinking. I just set up the place so haven't put much thought into how to do it but did all of a sudden have a spike of about 3500watts. I think I should definetely put the vegetation later at night
