Electric Bill Help

[SeedlessOne]

Ok guys i need some help. The thing is i live alone right now and i have a grow going on now right now using a 1000w. I know how much that made my bill go up. I will be moving with a good friend of mine to some new apartments. the thing there is it is everything included, water, cable, electric, etc. So my question is if we run 2 600 digital ballasts in the new apartment, do you think that there would be any suspision? since they pay the bill?? Any input is greatly appreciated!!

It's none of their business. If you're worried, make it look like you leave the A/C on or several computers running 24/7.

Yes, they would be wondering why you would need 1200 watts (not to include the other stuff that will be running besides the lights) for a small apartment. I believe I watched a video that mentioned anything over 1200 watts could be suspicious but probably not a concern if you lived in an actual home around people that use probably the same ammount of wattage. Or you probably would be less suspicious to them if you were running that same thing in a house and not a apt .

If anything try 2 400w lights or one 600w light or something like that.

15 years ago I used a 250 watt grow light and it sent our bill up by $11 a month.

How much a month has that 1000 watt put your bill up?

Two six hundred watters comes out to 1200 watts...I'd say you'd be seriously pushing your luck. Dead serious. The landlord will freak out when he/she gets the electricity bill (I would).

And leaving a computer on 24/7--even 2 or 3 of them, ain't gonna account for 1200 watts---not even close.

Why move at all?

Yeah I understand about the want for a HID..like I said just try 2 400 watt lights, it's way less riskier than 1200 fuckin watts lol.

digital ballast are supposed to use way less power
i would get those better

i use a 1000 w hps and the bill gets high
like an extra 80-100 a month
