6 plant rule clarification

oh, cozigzag - I'm running 3 x 1000's in flower and 1 x 1000 watt in veg. I think I'm going to go down to 2 and 1 for the remainder of the summer.

Anyone want to trade their 400's for my 1000's? lol

[COzigzag]

Is your setup 110 or 220? My bill was due the 21st of this month and it had the tiers and was $237. What is going on with your bill? It seems obnoxious to me.

[copobo]

it is! really, it doubled in one month.

I just looked, and I have non-summer, summer tier1 and summer tier2.

I'll let you know what my bill is next month at this time. I'm running the same setup as you with 220.

My house doesn't require AC and neither do my rooms at this point.

there will be lots more ads on CL after more people get their tiered electric bills from Xcel. Mine just doubled - to over 1K for 1 month! (3kf-1kv)

Thats got to be more than just your lights, are you running AC? I'm running 4 1000's and my bill last month was just a little over $300.

[copobo]

yes, it is certainly more than just lights. normally during the summer, we were 400-500.

we're going to have to deal without AC in the living area.

I wish I had an outdoor space to move to during the summer, and just shut this down for a few months.

Sounds like a good opportunity for some energy conservation projects around the house.

my disclaimer - there are a bunch of us in a big place, but there is something wrong. I am on the hunt.

Ha ha. Maybe your roommates are doing a guerilla grow unbeknownst to you! Look for wires and ducting heading into closets and stairwells. :thumbsup:

Here is an excellent calculator that will tell you how much different things cost to run.....

How much electricity does my stuff use?
