Whats your guys deal with electric bills, do you see big increases? I mean im sure alot of you use different systems how do you fluctuate the bill to not kill your wallet?

Had to be your AC cause there's no way 2 flouros are going to cause that much of a jump.
Your power bill goes by Kwh thats 1000w usage per hour, at an average of say 11c per KWH your looking at roughly 60bucks a mth..

Figured the damn a/c but im going to be flowing within the next month or so, ill use a 600 or 1000w HPS whats the bill gonna look like when there on 12/12 and im veggin the next batch on 18/6? I mean shits gota add up. I think im paying 7.6c per KWH

At least another fifty bucks

For the 1000w in flower a buck a day ...30mth
veg.... with everything you have listed less than 60 mth

7.6c per kwh
where do you live?

total watts used per hr...... divided by1k x hrs run(veg.. flower),, multiple total by 30 .. ther's your light usage per mth

best way to drop your bill is to never use your dishwasher or dryer, air dry your clothes in a seperate room or clothes hanger outside, trust me youll save alot doing that. also keep ur A/C on one temperature, dont turn it on and off manually it uses more power. And last but not least, dont use your oven as often, the oven uses alot of electricity to, get a grill and cookout more, foods better on the grill anyway . Do these 3 things and your bill will drop tremendously, just try it out one month and see

Is there a chance that your bill just went up 100 bucks because it's getting warmer out and your central ac is running more?
