Ok so hopefully the math is right with the bill for 1 month at 225$.
This sample is based on lighting wattage ONLY, not fans or other goodies.
my daily kwh usage is 17.33. 17.33 x 30days = 519.9
$225.00 divided by 519.9 = .43cents (its an odd number but rounded off)
so its costing .43 cents a khw to run my shizzle.
.43 x 17.33 = 7.4519
from what i figure its costing me around $7.45 a day to run everything from what i have. kind costly. If i did all the math correctly haha.
Using an 18/6 schedule. my daily kwh usage is 14.544.
14.544 x .43 = $6.2539 $6.2539 x 30 = $187.617
What i figured from using 18/6 it would cost me $6.25 per day to run on that schedule, with a total monthly cost of $187.62, $225 - $187 = $38
Not a bad way to shave off some money for the bill! hope these figues help people get a ballpark for running their light systems between the 2 lighting schedules.

5 out of 5 seeds have cracked open! one is showing weakness and probably will end up dying off, but the other 4 have the first tier of leaves poking out of the coco. Misted daily in the clone dome, and 2 days after they sprouted. I soaked them in distilled water for a few hours previous, before putting them in the coco cups.
As far as everything else in the grow op goes. Just a text update for now. Xplanted my friends Kryptonite into a 1 gallon pot few days ago. Repotted the new clones frmo the dome about the same day. Also i had pulled the middle reflector down to about 6 inches from the clones and Kryptonite. Hoping to catch a 10-12 day rooting period, followed by a week veg time before they get thrown in the box for flowering. Everything now is out of party cups, into square pots.
Ill update with pics in a couple days. Not alot going on to take pics for and share.
