  1. I am using a 200 watt lamp for my plants right now 24 hours a day right now. Will my bill be huge or will it be okay?
     
  2. No, consider it 2 extra incandescent light bulbs left on, not a big deal.
     
  3. it wont be huge but expect to pay about 15-25dollars more a month. 200watt light now you got fans going timers etc. if you can keep your whole grow under say 800 watts and you pay your bill you should be fine. worry about the smell more then anything.
     
  4. i know people who have 1000 watt lights running and have never had a problem. just never miss a bill. as for cost i would guestimate a 200w would cost less than $15 a month. my 600w HPS costs me $42 a month to run on 18/6.
