  1. when i calculated the cost of electricity it definitely did not come out to 90 or 100 bucks a month for 1000 watts hps and 4 small fans, is this about right??:confused:
     
  2. Your rate may be dependant on what hours you use and/or how far over your "baseline" (if any) is/was.

    Look at your bill and see if they have "tier" charges.
     
  3. i'm running it 18/6, and are you saying they charge extra if i go over a certain amount? damn, ha. i guess my grow has to stop till i get a more serious job
     
  4. Could always lower your wattage, maybe get a 600.
     
  5. It usually costs more during peak hours as well. Here in western WA it's around 6-8 cents per kwh depending on whether its during peak hours, then it goes up at different thresholds of usage.

    But we have some of the cheapest electricity in the nation thanks to all the hydro electric dams nearby :D
