that is an unbelievable price i pay like 100 bux a month and i got lights heaters tv frigde everything pumping all day but im in canada i guess electricity is cheaper here??? b4 my grow was running my bill was about 80 dollars. I think someone is jamming you in the arse.......

check my 16day veg lil beauty https://www.rollitup.org/general-marijuana-growing/140247-indoor-400w-mh-1-seed.html

in the winter i averaged about 280-350 without growing its doubled sence last year

800 seems rather high. What kind of setup do you have?

Thats a lot! I thought $250. was a lot. I would be concernned. How much is your bill without the grow room?

Is someone taping into your power? No way should it go up that much. You might want to have it checked out?

i run lumatek duel 6s a few of them and sentinel controlers in a flood and drain system with all the goodies, i was thinking about gettn some light rails 2 get rid of 1 or 2 of my duel 6s, my bill was 280-350 last year winter when i didnt grow in my house

ive never heard of people taping into power, who would i call 2 have that checked out? and do they have 2 come in my house when they check

I would imagine so. Shouldn't matter since you're medical.

got damn my rent aint even that high u gettin rapped with no lube

yeah but you're in south central...

True. Cheap rent ain't shit if you're living next to O-dog.

That is crazy high, I would almost be worried about someone stealing your power, that seems so damn high, but I guess it really depends on your location.

How much does it say they charge you per KWH?

I pay 6c CDN/Kwh....yours must be like 30c per Kwh...

Something you could do to cut back on power is switch your water heater, oven, furnace and anything else to natural Gas. And if you have gas at your place a generator would be a lot easier to run, you wouldnt need to mess around with propane tanks or anything.

Generators do work, but if your able to stay on the grid and convert other appliances to Gas it will be a LOT easier, and less stress. Generators are a fucking hassle.

but 800 for a fuckin power bill i dont give a fuck homeboy gettin raped

ima have to agree, holy shit 800!

The highest I've ever seen was like 600, and this house was ALOT bigger and had a family of 8!

That definitely seems high.
I would really look at your bill. Examine your price per KWH. Here where I live, they have different rates for peek times and also for total amounts. IE my price for 500KW is different than the first 300KW.
I would take a day and buy one of those things that you plug into each receptacle to measure power usage. Compare that to ratings of the device. Once you figure out what you are actually using, then compare that to your bill. If the numbers don't add up, then defiantly find out if they are making a mistake or in worse case find out if someone is stealing your power.

$800, for one month I snap if mines if over $150, in the summer with the air on.

Dude, you're either powering the sun itself, or there's a problem. I'd be looking in to that.

Just check to see what's causing it. Turn off your main breaker and watch your meter, see if it's still moving. I find it hard to believe that someone would be tapping your power, but I find a $800 electric bill even harder to believe with only 2 600's.

Even if by some chance you had bad wiring or one ...I don't know...shit. There's no way....

exactly how many 600's are you running....you said a few dual 6's, does that mean your running 3600 watts? do you have lights going for veg. this bill seems high for a hobby/personal-setup but i have seen commercial ops run 600-800 dollar bills for years. the power company is in the business of selling power, its not in thier best interest to turn in thier big accounts.
