600 watt grow TENT electrisity bil arived today!

My first elect. bill since my tent set up arrived today!. Surprisingly the bill only went up $20.00 about what a freezer cost to run (totally affordable). My light and vent system has been active for over 30 days. We were concerned about the grow cost. (NO MORE!!)

Funny(well not so funny) story. I got my electric bill after we had been running the tent for over a month (lights and fans to keep heat down) and it was $100 more than previous month. I freaked out. THEN I realized that my one year contract had run out previous month and my rate had skyrocketed. I immediately when online and signed up with a new supplier. Damn, that high usage hit same month that my rate went up. Of course, I went back and found the notice that I had one month left, but since I pay online I don't usually open extraneous mail from them except the bill which comes in a blue envelope instead of plain white. I'm an idiot.

Over the 6 years I've been growing mine is about $30-$40 per month. That is with all my lights going 1000wHPS 12/12 and 6 tube T5 18/6 and 3 fans.24hrs.

Huh! Mine is so unfree and actually went up with LEDs...probably because I have 4 but do wonder if 2 HPS would have been more.
Congrats on a great score for power!

$17.50 per oz. That's based on 24 ozs. per year.

 

[Pankace]

30-40 more than usual? Or are telling me your electric bill is only 30 bucks a month?

 

[kingfish]

No is $30-$40 a month more then if I weren't growing.

Keep in mind that is assuming that you don't have to replace anything.

Fucked up company. When I moved in this house the electric meter that the company uses to charge you didn't worked and the electricity was already running. So we didn't do anything about it. A cupple of months later the company showed up like in a random inspection. We explained what happened and after talking to all the neighbors they concluded the meters where all mixed up and in the wrong houses. They said they'd be back with a new meter and I been waiting ever since. Its been 8 months. I don't think they're coming back anytime soon. I don't live in a big city neither in a country under strong governmental surveillance or "pressure" to tell you what to do or not to do. So... its kinda free

 

[Pankace]

Lol gotcha. You about blew my mind

Sometimes you just have to be grateful for the small victories.
