Cost of running my set up

[bazilbrush]

Other topic got me thinking, I would just like to work out roughly what the cost of running my set up is. Always going to be cheaper than buying my weed.

Last bill I payed was cheap but says it was estimated :/ one before that wasn't and it was £704.85 lol . Anyway the latest one was £282.13 estimated use 1575 kWh. So take the cost and divide that by the kWh usage they give and works out 0.179130158730159 ....let's call it 18p per kWh right? Lol

Use just one light for vegging so 600w on 18hours works out 10.8 kWh. Working out at £1.94
Plus got a can fan rk 150L outside which shows it runs at 80w on 24hours = 1.92 kWh. Works out £0.95p
Intake is a can fan rk 125L it's inside a box so can see the label but says online 70w=1.68kwh works out £0.30p
Running the fans through an SMS twin controller but not sure on that's wattage? This is only to estimate anyway

Now according to my maths that makes vegging cost me £3.19 weekly £22.33.

Flowering add extra 600w but 12hours only = 14.4 kWh a day. Works out roughly £2.59 a day
Fans stays the same so just need to add that cost to this new lighting cost..

I'm getting £3.84 a day flowering which works out £26.88 a week

Know it's not spot on as estimated here n there but does that sound about right to you lot? Cheers

damn i would stroke out if my leccy bill was $914. would switching to a LED be more cost efficent? i know shit about indoor stuff so i cant help.

The biggest bill i had was £530 running 2 grows, one with 600W HPS the other with 160W draw LED i did try running 2 600W HPS at the same time but my smart meter was saying "get that fuckin' second HPS switched off" so now i just run the one, G'.

lol I refused a smart meter when offered for similar reasons. If those numbers are right I can't see how just running an extra 600w for 12hours made it jump up so much tbh.

Do they seem about right to what everyone else pays? Done it last night/silly o clock in the morning n as a result I'm still tired lol.

I've been watching my electric costs lately. Changed to an oil filled radiator instead of an electric heater but it's not working out any cheaper. At present it's about £6 a day to run the house. Saying that there is pretty much always people in the house.

I was average of £3 a day over entire grow .... so your figures look good.

They take longer to heat so I reckon that's why it works out about the same to power a 1Kw heater for instance.

How many lights you running mate if don't mind me asking? It's really just to give myself an idea of what to expect for when the bill comes. Only run the two 600w once before this when it was 704 quid. I was running the 250w then as well though. I'm not even bothering to work that out as won't be using it anymore I don't think. Last bill of mine was an estimate which makes me think are they gonna hit me with a huge bill this time round lol. That was 200 n something although by the date of that estimate I think it was only the final week of that bill that I was running my veg light.

Fuck it anyway still cheaper than buying bud ain't it.

Hi mate,

Not running anything at the moment but was running

600HPS
284w Cob

Also ran during veg
400MH
2 x 284 cobs

Factor in the dehumidifier at 400w n 5” rhino pro twin speed.

Your not far off with yer maths tho 🤜🏻

Say it’s autos n it’s 80 days n your getting say 10 from 4 ... it’s a no brainer eh ✌🏼

Well fingers crossed this one comes in at less than the 700 I'm telling myself it will be lol. It's only as last one was an estimate that I paid for that's got me thinking. It seems though I flipped the day after my last bill came. Plus this time like I say the 250w didn't run at all. Just seen the mum of the clones I'm waiting on and think 2/3 weeks till she's ready plus say two weeks till they are rooted. So tents gonna be empty a little while. A shame as I'd just like to know roughly what the bill will be. It is what it is though Fuck it I guess lol
