3k Watt Grow And Energy Costs

[Ldiesel]

So I'm getting ready to start a 3k flower room grow and my kwh $ is about .0949 . Would anyone be able to help me out how much my electric bill would run me for veg and flower. For veg I would prolly only be using some t5 lighting of some sort .

Thanks!:speechless:

1k 12hrs 30 day = $82

Thanks alot, how are you able to calculate that?

Three kilowatt bulbs burn 3kW in an hour, so 3kWh. Each hour your flower room is lit, it costs 3 x 0.0949 = $0.2847

12hr x 0.2847 = $3.42 per day

Think your math is a little off buddy

Could be, it doesn't agree with AngryBeeman.

36kWh per day times 0.0949 equals 3.4164 dollars per day, I think.

$102.49 per 30 days for 3 x 1000W lamps (plus a little more for inefficiency of the ballast)

Sorry if I came off like a dick but Beeman is more accurate. It's usually $100 a month per 1k bulb adding all the other things you have to run with it.
