most power companys will red flag with a 25% change in "normal" usage. For a personal use grow, you don't need but 2 or 3 plants. Grow under CFLs... much less electrical usage, and excellant results, and you don't have the heat issuea to deal with. I will normally get 3 1/2 - 4 cure jars full of nothing but dried, manicured bud per plant. I run 4 month cycles... seed to end of veg run 2 months, and then flower for 7 - 9 weeks depending on the strain. If you grow decent strains, a piece the size of a pea inna waterpipe will rock your world. I still have a half jar of last summers grow left, and 7 jars left from the winter grow, just filled another 3 jars, and will get at least 4 jars from the plant that is finishing now.
I am not gonna start another grow until after the first of the year... considering that I will have more than a case of full cure jars in another 2 or so weeks
Mississippi Steve Reviewed by Mississippi Steve on . Electricity? Noob here, How many 1000hps is average for western WA? I just got back from Arcata and there most use 8 1000hps's. The space i have realistically can only use 4-6 but I am wondering what number would red flag and individual? Also what are some of your power bills looking like and it would be useful to know how many lights so i can correlate the info. Thanks in advance. Rating: 5
