how does a 1000w light relate to electric bill?

[CJBHM52]

actually a watt is a rate not a magnitue. one watt = 1 joule / second. the joule is the measure of energy. so a watt is energy per time. but yeah yamaha your math looks good (im stoned so i might be wrong).

i am looking at my CURRENT electric bill. it says i used 2562 KWH for 29 days or an average of 88 KWH per day. that bill is for 290.70. thats how i came up with 11 cents. it doesnt give you the actual KWH rate

my prior bill was for $472. thats 4290 KWH.

thats for a 3 bedroom house, 2 story, + full finished basement. i have 2 kids. that includes running 2 ac's and TONS of laundry.

I have talked to plenty of homeowners and a 300-400 electric bill is normal.

Now in this other location, the grow will be the ONLY thing using electric so if I keep the bill below 400, i will be fine. this is also a decent sized house so a 300-400 bill wont be suspicious.

WOW. I THOUGHT I PAID ALOT WHEN MY BILL WENT FROM $90 TO $110.

I RUN 3-1000W HPS
2 5000 BTU A/C'S
2 CERAMIC HEATERS
4 FANS

AND THE NORMAL HOUSEHOLD STUFF:

COMPUTERS, WASHER, DRYER, TV'S, PS2, ETC........

Holy crap, that's cheap! Where are you that you get electricity that cheap? (If you don't mind my asking, of course.) Like, right next door to a nuclear power plant or something?

JUST BELOW OREGON AND JUST WEST OF NEVADA.

Duuude I live in Southern California and I'm expecting my bill to go up about $180-190 a month with the addition of 1 1000W light, not even counting in all the fans I'll be running.

35 cent base rate =

[BOYZNUS]

WOW, THAT SUX.

Hey
I'm new to this site, but I know someone who taps his power box, small drill out hole in the bottom and slip a small piece of wire to plug the meter from turning.

That person keeps track of the meter reader days, takes it out a couple days before the time they check, it spins like crazy catches up with the amount that makes it seem normal useage.

I have never done it, nor would I-lol but he puts out the pounds and it the best biggest setup I have ever seen before. With that kind of setup he raises over 3oo cloned females and crops each month.

That guy has been able to do it for years that way, wow the money for his tomatoes thousands a month.

Like I said it's that guy, not me. I don't do that kind of stuff.

Cuddleup and smoke it.

Ps. it takes a special drill bit or the glass will bust-ha ha. Not to easy to explain exept your mower slung a rock didn't it?

its easyer than that to "piggyback" your electricity supply
