I do not have to worry about my personal use of lights, fans or electrical cords.; my plants stole them all. They live in modern luxury while i live in the stone age lol
My meter is on my closed in porch, so man comes into house. I only run flouros in the veg during his work hours, so he cannot see the meter spinning.
'Day' for the plants is when i am home and some power usage could be expected. My bill goes thru the landlord who i am telling it's the new air conditioner, if he asks.
I have 'cloudy' days for my plants where i turn off the big light, so they can take it easy when i have done something like repot them or am performing maintenance. This means the times for light are constant, but power usage is not. live cheap, grow well. best wishes nigel

I tried saliva and thought I was in an episode of Seinfeld. I had to crawl out of my chair to get away. Not sure if that was the tv setup or just me but it wasn't funny. Good tv though

thats how you gotta roll. I made my roommate change out every bulb to CFls on his roomlight because its on the same circuit as my grow room. By doing that I freed up an extra 5-6 amps between the two rooms and allowed me to run 1k worth to my grow room.

ahh the pre-grow sketch out lol. the 1000w hps will be about 20-30 dollars extra per bill at 18 hours of use a day. once you are flowering, that goes down even more. you won't get spiked so no worries. just don't buy a lot of them.

you are in a good position too. because winter is just rolling around (depending where you live) your bill will increase because your heaters are going on an such. So its a primo time to raise your bill without being noticed.
