New To Hid Need Some Help

  1. When you veg with a mh what is the best light schedule? Also how much is it going to raise my power bill with one 600w lamp?
     
  2. 18 on 6 off.
     
    Might cost you $20 a month. which is Nothing...
     
  3. 18-24 hours on time for veg. I prefer 24, but it's a preference.
     
    I pay about $32/month, it depends on your electricity rate of course.
     
  4. Thanks for the quick response! I can't wait to start growing with hps

    Agree, I would run a 600w 24/0  but I run 1,000w's so 18/6 Is a nice cool down period.
     
  6. 600 watts on 24/0, per month is 720 hours.
    720 hours multiply by 0.600 kilowatts is 432 kWh
     
    If you were getting charged £0.14 per kWh (which I am) it will cost £60.48 per month.
