If you can't pay the bills with 4-6k op, then you are doing it wrong.
Your right , But also proves real MEd pateints and the sick and elderly living on ssi are fucked Only Drugdealers Under the disguise of med patients or sick people forced to turn drug dealer to grow can run 4k , basically a closet grow:character0035:

If you are truly on SSI/Disabled, this is exactly what the program is for. Not sure you would be running an op that large for 'personal consumption'.

Power costs

1000$ r u nuts, I run just a little under 4000k and it cost like 60$extra a month or 120$ a cylce
so about 20$ extra on your bill per month per 1000watter

You live in Canada I see and I can only say you are lucky enough to be able to say that adding 1k watt grow light only adds $20 a month to you bill. The majority of us living down here in the US have much higher power rates.

In Arizona the power is .08 cents per kilowatt in the winter and .18 cents in the summer so your power bill will more than double if you are flowering on a perpetual cycle. The cost of 3k watts flowering at 12/12 and 1k watts in 18/6 veg the cost was $700 per month in the summer peak rates and $350 or less in winter. This bill is all inclusive with the rest of a 2000 sq ft house with portable a/c in grow room year round and home a/c unit in summer.

In California the power rates are different and work on a sliding scale depending on the type of account you have (business, residential, financial assistance). The more power you use the more it costs. The rates go from a starting point of .13 cents per kilowatt to .27 cents to .34 cents to .45 cents per kilowatt. So you could end up paying $20 to $25 per day for power enough to run 4k watts with no a/c or dehumidifier. I know of a medical patient who is qualified for a financial assistance program that gives cheaper access to power since this patient is having some financial issues and cannot afford to purchase medication. I believe this patient actually pays .10 cents per kilowatt hour.

hi all,

anybody ever considered getting a generator. i was thinking about swithing it on only when i when over the 1st or 2nd tier. i know gas prices can be pricey, but its just an idea. i really like the ones made by honda sold at the motocross offroad shops. they are super quiet and fuel efficient. they have a model that can give 3000 watts, so i was thinking about running my 2 1k's and 6 in cooling fans on it, basically all the stuff on the 12/12 curcuit. based on specs, it says you can run 12 hours on one gal of unleaded. so what do you guys and girls think?
