Default How much energy could fluorescent tubes use?
I will be starting to use fluorescent tube lighting with my grow, I have 3 40watt bulbs that will be running 24/0, how much could that possibly cost? Is it going to be a huge spike? I mean personally I am not worried about the cost, I say fuck the electric company, however I have a roomies who might freak if it's outrageous.


Anyone else using fluorescent tubing that could give me a estimate?





I would really hate to stop my grow, they are looking so pretty.

generally floro's dont constume much power, like i mean people leave their computers and all their lights on all day. cops wont even bust small grow ops like say your using a 400watt hps like i wouldnt even worry about it.

I don't know the answer to your question. What I do know is 120 watts of flouros isn't much. The real problem is having roomates that may freak. That's the problem I would solve for.
