I just started running a 1000w hps with mh bulb 20/4...hope it doesn't jack up the electric bill too much...since I started using it I stopped using the heat though, I rarely turn on other lights, and I unplugged everything unnecessary, great temps in the grow room... boy its been chilly in the house though. Came out of my room yesterday and my roommate was eatin cereal with a jacket and ear muffs on...what a pussy

so let me get this straight.
my bill says (over 1000 kwh at 0.06227) so is that an hour? say we are running 3600watts. for 12 hours a day. would it go like this? 3600 x 12hours = 43200 divided by 1000 = 43.2 kwh used now 43.2 x 0.062270 = 2.690064$ day x 31 days = 83.391984$ month. hmmm seems very cheap doesnt it?

you rural people got it made. IM PAYING 15 cents a kwh. im holding my bill right now. 1100 kwh last month.
but are we telling the whole story here. theres a delivery charge theres a sbc/rps charge. theres a sales tax charge actual electric is far less than what i pay, hell i spent 60 on the delivery charges alone untaxed and my bill is 250 total to reference.

Can anyone take a guess at how many KW/h per DAY you can get away with without sending alarms ringing?
Lets say we have 6 1000watt lights going at 16 per day, thats 96 kw/h in a day. thats about 5-6 bucks a day = $150 month. Do you guys reckon that you can get away with 12 1000 watters? I am planning to make a flowering room out of an entire basement. Probably an area of 16'x12'. I'm looking to dedicate about $500 of electric bills a month to growing only. Is that the kind of figure that would raise eyebrows? I live in Canada, Ontario by the way. |
