i can answer some of your questions.

is yor electric meter a pay as you go type, if so you dont get as much leccy for your money. also the tariff of your meter may be set on high to pay for shortfalls on bills to that property. speak to your electric supplier to find this out.
if none of the above applies just live with it baby, it shouldnt cost more than a quid or 2 per week.....i take it your in uk with a name like scousa.. so am i and my light never broke the bank.


from the day your plant pops out into the world give it anywhere from 4 weeks to 8 weeks before changeing to 12/12. it depends on how big you can allow your plants to grow..

hope that helps a bit..
