hahaha I was thinking by “owning it” he means to proudly present himself as a grower to his fellow citizen, not care about the numbers on the electricity bill and letting everybody in the neighbourhood enjoy the odour :smiley:

Lol I’m still getting “you’re using an awful lot of electric sir” even though it’s almost been a year since I packed the HPS away! In one cycle of using a 600W HPS I consumed double the electric my “average bullshit neighbour” would use in a whole YEAR.

Do not regret the switch to LED in the slightest :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I’m curious actually while we’re on the subject cos I’m UK I wonder is prices for shit are better there. I was paying on average £300 a month for my
Household and 600W HPS.

So for over 700 bucks are you running 2 600s plus fans or is that a thouie an some fans?

I’m running my household plus an attached apartment so two AC units and a pool. My grow rooms run 3 x 1000w HPS, 1000w MH, 400 w MH and a 250w MH. Plus I’m running 2 AC units in there as well and 8 fans

@CLOSETGROWTH it’s usually around $500. But the Ac units and pool added to it big time last month.

The way it works here in Alberta the power companies are all owned by American and Australian companies since King Ralph, (Ralph Klein), our late premier set up 20 years ago when he de-regulated power in our province.

The upper limit was set at 12¢/KWh but companies were allowed to charge for ‘expenses’ Now I’m paying upwards of 23.5¢/KWh which means it cost me almost $95/mth to run a 1000W light 12 hours/day.

Luckily my house/shop etc is heated by gas as that’s dirt cheap but we pay 400+/mth for power. Three adults live here.

We’re too far north to grow regular plants outside so I’m stuck with the bill. :frowning:

:peace:

That’s why we made the jump to Solar from an average of 12-15 cents /kWh off peak to 30-35 cents /kWh peak nice to have the off set during the hottest part of the day last month electric was $14 but we had a credit so no payment still since install ,so that was nice! Beware peeps it’s just going to get worse as time goes on everywhere!
