that's not even possible. with the exchange rate that would mean you pay $1.10 a kilowatt hour.

How much wattage u think would be needed to be considered excessive 5k Watts?

with everything included i think that's just about the limit of what you want to push. if you are in a medically legal state then you can go higher. truth is that most homes can't handle much more than that (if that) unless you are only growing in the house and no one is living there. you are talking about a quarter of a 100amp service with a 5,000w grow.

try to conserve electricity in the rest of your house to offset the difference
