electricity bill killing me

Hi i just had a look at some generators on ebay and initially the cost for them is high but your bill would go down so if youre going keep growing over time you will save far more than the generator costs (i mean they even sell 'LPG' fuelled generators)
So for generators your choice is:-
1-ELECTRIC
2-LPG
3-PETROL
4-SOLAR (THOUSANDS)

aLSO TAKE A LOOK at some more 'efficient' fans if you can cos some fans cost a fortune to run, compare output wattage on a few compared to yours.

Good luck dude, and post some pics when you get it sorted.

with the amount your growing, come harvest day, or a few months later after the cure and that bill will be paid.
I would not sweat it. you could do some crazy wiring and make your meter run backwards. thats kind of a joke, but I have seen it done. you risk big trouble.
seriously after the cure, with that kind of set up things will be paid for. I freaked out to my first time seeing my electric bill. now it does not bother me, cause after that cure my friends are happy.
the 1000 for t5's is a good idea.
even two 400 would be better than a 1000.
smoke a joint and be patient, harvest day you will be so happy.
I wish i had that kind a light.
don't mess with your meter that really was a joke.

I'm not selling them or anything, but it seems like a solid system. Should be able to power one light easily off the set up. The big drawback though is that typically solar panels have about a four year payoff on investment. But if you have the moolah and are just trying to keep power usage down, a few of those units can sure help. I've put the link below for you to check out. You can have this wired into your domestic panel, and it'll feed electricity to your power panel as it's generated from the solar panel. Or you could just plug in the light directly to it.

as a fulltime RVer, and longtime grower, let me assure you, that solar power is NOT a growing option :wtf: ... if you're wealthy enough, to buy that much solar power, it will be cheaper, to just buy your herb from another grower ... :smokin:
