    This my first time growing ever and just trying to figure out a few things

  2. "Hi mate,

    It depends on what you pay per kilowatt and hours used.

    Here is the formula to work it out...

    0.4 (400w) X 18 (hours) X 0.11 (price per killowatt) =

    Change the parts that fit you."

    With all the gear & running costs, it pays for itself after 1 grow.

    No problem, mate. Just alter the hours and the price you pay per kw.
    That formula is just for the lights. Don't forget there will be other costs (eg. fan, intake fan, bubbler etc.) not all will apply to you though.

    I did read somewhere that the electric board monitors the usage and keeps an eye out for a sharp increase at certain times of the day, is this true? Surely running a 2kw fan heater would be the same as lights for most home grows.

    That won't be enough evidence for a search warrant. Unless they have a witness or other tangible evidence that directly link a grow, you could have 1000w bulbs in every room in the house

    Doubt it for a small amount of electric. Theres alot more growers than you think you only have to go on ebay to actually realise how many are at it and thats just online buying. The point is that if they are monitoring electric it will be people who use 12kw hps grows. And evan then aslong as its paid they arnt gonna start knoking doors down because they are making money. I live in a flat and double the averge in my area and still havnt had a knock.

    You can't say that. You've no idea how many hours or how much he pays per kw.

    For example: A 400w light used for 24 hours a day at 15p pkw will be £44.64 for a 31 day month.
    And that is just for the lights.
