    Default need help trying to figure out running cost of setup

    so never grown before and was trying to figure out what running costs would be for what i had in mind. i know how much i wanna use to lights and what my rates are for electric, so i can calculate that. but im just having a tough time calculating what fans, ac, dehumidifier etc would be. because i dont know how many hors they would have to be on or what watts they would be pulling? heres what im thinking of doing. 10x12 room. 3 1000w for flower. 400w for mother and veg room. and then i dont know what my needs would b for ac etc.

    how much can you afford? better get a second job.

    dope aint free. setup cost is dependent on what you want and then what you settle for.

    operating cost is directly related to the power consumption nutrients, and miscellaneous materials.

    I run a 600w hid 12/12, a t5 2x4 24/7 and fans to vent. used to have ac but it stopped working.
    My electric cost may be about $75 to $100, nutes and misc. stuff about $25 to $30.

    So i guess, i have not calculated to a price tag, in total my
    operating cost is around 130 to 200 bucks a month.

    no labor cost. its a labor of luv.
