Newb question about lights...
It's not gonna be that bad. However, there are many ways you can start saving money. For instance, stop using the air conditioning and use fans and blankets instead. Make sure you always turn your lights off when you leave the room, etc.
Let's say they charge $0.07 per kilowatt. (400 x 24) x 30 = 288000. Multiply that by 0.001 (converting to kilowatt) and you have 288. 288 x 0.07 is $20.16, which is the cost of running a 24-hour setup.
I'm gonna skip the math part for 18/6, so let's just skip ahead to the answer. It would be $15.12 a month, assuming your electric company charges .07 per kilowatt.
Math is cool.Mira el foto grande

Newb question about lights...
Yep, it's an investment as well.
Guys this is a lounge. Not a grow thread.

Newb question about lights...
yeah, it's the GROW lounge. I've noticed more leniency in the grow section than other sections of the site, and I think that's the way it should be. Besides, it doesn't really matter.

Newb question about lights...
this does belong in indoor growing forum...Jdog is right on.
by the way...400 watts will cost the same as running a 400w computer...and if you can't afford that...

Newb question about lights...
I am a cheap fuck so when I plan on growing I wont worry about it because I plan on unplugging everything and keeping everything off thats not necessary in my house until I'm done with my grow, if I get really cheap I might just use my grow light as my source for light when I wanna do something that requires sight lol...Soo as of now the only thing I can think of that will stay plugged in while I'm growing is my refrigerator and one grow light
