This winter will be the first time that I do a full out indoor op. Ive always started my girls inside, and i once finished them inside under a 1000w hps. Now heres my question, i need a light that will take them from veg and well into flowering without double or tripling my electricity bill like the 1000 did last time. This isnt going to be a very big 1, in fact it will most likely end up being a closet grow. I am willing to have the 1000 on them for the last month. Thx fer any help.

`new to this
put I know power
u pay buy the kilowhat = 1000 watt per an hour
so a 1000 bulb uses 1000 watts per hour
{2} 400 and {1} 200 uses the same amount of power as a 1000 watt bulb
light stengh is from the bulb in lumes
light specteren and coler of light
see what u pay {per a kilowatt}
its on your bill
your meter has 2 legs of 120 volts
120+120= 240 {+ or - 10%}
most meters read one leg and bill u on the highest leg
u want a balance load
nee some info on hydo
