hey guys i wanna switch to a hps for flowering maybe a 150w or 175w, ive seen some cheap ones. how much do you think my bill would go up compared to the 180w's of cfl i use now, im not happy with the density of my nugs. it will obviously only be running for 12hrs. ANY IDEAS!?!?!?!

a 150w hps will require about $8.50-10 or so per month during flowering (12/12).

If you were going for 4 plants and using a 150W HPS, you might want some CFL side lighting.
