hi smoothe,me again lol,before i moved home recently,my house was on a token metre,an me an the wife reckon about £36-£40 a month,when u consider the end result it don't really cost that much does it!!!!love an respect....spliffbuilder.

hey smoothe, you can put 0 for the veg time and watt.

then click this to convert the money

have you tried this?

I don't know about in the U.K. but Iwould asume you can get what is known as a multi-tap ballast for your fixture just like here in the states. It allows you to run your light at a higher voltage witch will use less amps and cut down on your cost alot. Hope this helps you a little. What ever you do don't try to save money by switching to fluro's. First of all you won't like the results and if you figure that you need 10 40 watt fluro's to equal 1 400 watt hps the light to power ratio sucks. PEACE

hi me again, soz i did'nt read the 12/12 bit stoned again!!about£20-£25 a month..spliffbuilder.

if your grow area is completely inclosed and you use JUST artificial light... run the lights at night, the power rates are lower (in canada anyway) during non-peak hours
