  1. Well guys, I need to know how much this Econo 250 Watt HPS from InsideSun is going to make fro an obvious electric bill? Im not asking because Im afraid of the Electric Comapny noticing, but because my parents pay the bill. i mean, I will do everything in my power suring growing time like watching less TV, charging my phone less, use less lights, etc... But basically I need to know how much different is the electric bill going to be?

    Thank you guys, I really need your help!
     
  2. +10-15 bucks a month if that
     
  3. Yup, $10-15 sounds good. Probably not even noticeable since most hydro bills vary per month.
     
  4. Just dramatically cut down on other shit that will use power.. they might not even notice.

    If your parents know about it just tell them you will pay the leccy bill when u harvest and sell an oz or 2
     
  5. im guessing that he is aksing about this beacuse his parents would be pissed if he was growin pot. and telling them that he is then going to be a dealer probably wont be a good idea.
     
  6. hhahaha
    that was great!

    A $10/$15 jump.
    That's nothing.
    probably will be unnoticeable if i just shut down my computer when i'm not using it.

    thanks!!!!
     
  7. I calculate an increase of 180 kWh per month.

    ((24*30)*250)/1000

    24 hours times 30 days times 250W divided by 1 kW (1000)
     
  8. Good guess. I recently started shutting off my PC when not using it and my bill dropped $11.56
     
  9. changed out all my old light bulbs and only use one 9W cfl in each room plus sunlight. started turning the surge protector to my tv, cable box, and modem off at night and when i'm not home. cut the bill in half almost. that'd put a smile on mom and dad's face.
