Just had my recent power costs update.Eyewatering it is,and this was before Russia which I’m sure will make it go higher
My last company went bust and I’ve been handed over to these who have just sent me this.
Tbh not done a meter read in a while,I’m ignoring it.So these figures havnt factored in my last and current grow which is using an oil filled rad.
This post did get me intrigued though on what my current grow will cost,so I had a go at working it out.
I’m not going to include heating costs as I don’t grow in the winter as a rule,One maybe two grows between the months of March and October is my usual practice and I don’t need to heat during those months.
So if paying 20.076 per kWh
98w T5 on 24/7 @ 5 weeks = £17.50
600w led on 18/6. @ 3 weeks = £45.00
600w led on 12/12 @ 9 weeks = £90
600w HPS on 12/12 @ 8 weeks = £90
40w fan £10.00 total
Extraction run at 25% 175w £30 total
Pump £5 total
Total £287.50./17 weeks = £16.90 per week
That’s less than 2oz of bud,I’ll take that any day of the week.
Obviously will drastically go up with the price rise,but that has me pleasantly surprised.
Unless I’m daft and have it completely wrong.
Feel free to work out my new rate
